Learn how to use generative media techniques with AI to create novel images or music in this practical, hands-on guide. Data scientists and software engineers will understand how state-of-the-art generative models work, how to fine-tune and adapt them to your needs, and how to combine existing building blocks to create new models and creative applications in different domains. This book introduces theoretical concepts in an intuitive way, with extensive code samples and illustrations that you can run on services such as Google Colaboratory, Kaggle, or Hugging Face Spaces with minimal setup. You'll learn how to use open source libraries such as Transformers and Diffusers, conduct code exploration, and study several existing projects to help guide your work.

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.

A revealing genealogy of image-recognition techniques and technologies. Today’s most advanced neural networks and sophisticated image-analysis methods come from 1950s and ’60s Cold War culture—and many biases and ways of understanding the world from that era persist along with them. Aerial surveillance and reconnaissance shaped all of the technologies that we now refer to as computer vision, including facial recognition. The Birth of Computer Vision uncovers these histories and finds connections between the algorithms, people, and politics at the core of automating perception today. Computer vision methods are often paired with Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence algorithms because they were developed and articulated alongside each other. What we now recognize as computer vision applications informed the design of many popular and important Machine Learning algorithms. OpenCV is at present one of the core enabling technologies for computer vision. It is the foundation on which innumerable applications are built.

Apply skills and approaches to your programming to build a real-world application in C# 11 using the latest editions of Visual Studio, C#, and Microsoft .NET. This revised edition is updated with C#11 and places more emphasis on the newly introduced top-level statements. Additionally, you will find useful techniques and an explanation of the differences between writing code in two different styles. It also covers the new templates introduced in .NET 6, along with usage of .NET 7 in Windows 10 to write code and generate output. Each chapter opens with an introduction and original application written in C# 10 so that you can jump right into coding. From there, you are guided through an expected output and taught best practices along the way. Author Vaskaran Sarcar emphasizes extending and maintaining the same program and he demonstrates examples for different scenarios to make your program more efficient and effective.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in Explainable AI (XAI) and its applications in manufacturing. It covers the various methods, tools, and technologies that are being used to make AI more understandable and communicable for factory workers. With the increasing use of AI in manufacturing, there is a growing need to address the limitations of advanced AI methods that are difficult to understand or explain to those without a background in AI. This book addresses this need by providing a systematic review of the latest research and advancements in XAI specifically tailored for the manufacturing industry. Artificial Intelligence (AI) are technologies that enable computers to imitate human behavior. The computing speed, storage capacity, reliability, and interconnectivity of computers combined with human reasoning patterns give AI the ability to solve complex and large-scale problems. Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) is a new trend in AI. We first introduce XAI tools for visualizing operations in ANNs (or DNNs), such as ConvNetJS, TensorFlow, Seq2Seq, and MATLAB, and then mention XAI techniques for evaluating the effect, contribution, or importance of each input on the output, including partial derivation, odd ratio, out-of-bag (OOB) predictor importance, recursive feature elimination (RFE), and SHAP.
