Convolutional neural networks (CNNs), a type of deep neural network that has become dominant in a variety of computer vision tasks, in recent few years has attracted interest across a variety of domains due to their high efficiency at extracting meaningful information from visual imagery. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) excel at a wide range of Machine Learning and Deep Learning tasks. As sensor-enabled internet of things (IoT) devices pervade every aspect of modern life, it is becoming increasingly critical to run CNN inference, a computationally intensive application, on resource-constrained devices. Through this edited volume we aim to provide a structured presentation of CNN enabled IoT applications in vision, speech, and natural language processing (NLP). This book discusses a variety of CNN techniques and applications, including but not limited to, IoT enabled CNN for speech de-noising, a smart app for visually impaired people, disease detection, ECG signal analysis, weather monitoring, texture analysis, etc.

Nobody expected this—not even its creators: ChatGPT has burst onto the scene as an AI capable of writing at a convincingly human level. But how does it really work? What's going on inside its "AI mind"? In this short book, prominent scientist and computation pioneer Stephen Wolfram provides a readable and engaging explanation that draws on his decades-long unique experience at the frontiers of science and technology. Find out how the success of ChatGPT brings together the latest neural net technology with foundational questions about language and human thought posed by Aristotle more than two thousand years ago. This short book is an attempt to explain from first principles how and why ChatGPT works. In some ways it’s a story about technology. But it’s also a story about science. As well as about philosophy. And to tell the story, we’ll have to bring together a remarkable range of ideas and discoveries made across many centuries.

The Counterfeit Coin argues that games and related entertainment media have become almost inseparable from fantasy. In turn, these media are making fantasy itself visible in new ways. Though apparently asocial and egocentric—an internal mental image expressing the fulfillment of some wish—fantasy has become a key term in social contestations of the emerging medium. At issue is whose fantasies are catered to, who feels powerful and gets their way, and who is left out. This book seeks to undo the monolith of commercial gaming by locating multiplicity and difference within fantasy itself. It introduces and tracks three broad fantasy traditions that dynamically connect apparently distinct strata of a game (story and play), that join games to other media, and that encircle players in pleasurable loops as they follow these connections.
