This interactive study guide will support candidates in developing fundamental knowledge and understanding of the basics of computer and network technology, processor architecture and networks, and with an introduction to operating systems and system oftware. It explains key concepts within the Computer and Network Technology module and helps candidates prepare for their exams, including explainer videos, interactive questions and skills challenges aligned to the syllabus and with industry practice. In chapter 1, we cover the basics in order to understand how data can be represented digitally. We look at the numbering systems that are used and build up an understanding of how the data can be worked with using Boolean algebra. We develop simple logic circuits and show how these circuits can be used to form more complex circuits such as registers used in computers and other devices.

Make your Deep Learning models more generalized and adaptable! These practical regularization techniques improve training efficiency and help avoid overfitting errors. Regularization in Deep Learning delivers practical techniques to help you build more general and adaptable deep learning models. It goes beyond basic techniques like data augmentation and explores strategies for architecture, objective function, and optimization. You’ll turn regularization theory into practice using PyTorch, following guided implementations that you can easily adapt and customize for your own model’s needs. Along the way, you’ll get just enough of the theory and mathematics behind regularization to understand the new research emerging in this important area. Deep learning models that generate highly accurate results on their training data can struggle with messy real-world test datasets. For data scientists, Machine Learning engineers, and researchers with basic model development experience.

This book provides a representation of the state-of-the-art simulators and emulators that can be used for quantum computing. It especially reports a customizable and adaptive hardware design of a quantum processor that can be implemented in field programmable gate arrays to aid the traditional host processor to accelerate some computations and execute quantum algorithms. In the following, we give a brief description of the main contribution of each of the included chapters. In the first chapter, entitled “Introduction to Quantum Computing”, we introduce the motivation behind this book and we present and comment of recent related works in the literature about the quantum computing emulation by hardware and simulation by software. We also present the organization of the remaining chapters of the book. In the second chapter, entitled “Quantum Concepts”, we first introduce the main characteristics on the basis of quantum computing. After that we define and give illustrative examples for all the basic concepts that build the foundations of quantum computing.

The new edition of this innovative book, R Data Analysis without Programming, prepares the readers to quickly analyze data and interpret statistical results using R. Professor Gerbing has developed lessR, a ground-breaking method in alleviating the challenges of R programming. The lessR extends R, removing the need for programming. This edition expands upon the first edition’s introduction to R through lessR, which enables the readers to learn how to organize data for analysis, read the data into R, and generate output without performing numerous functions and programming exercises first. With lessR, readers can select the necessary procedure and change the relevant variables with simple function calls. The text reviews and explains basic statistical procedures with the lessR enhancements added to the standard R environment. Using lessR, data analysis with R becomes immediately accessible to the novice user and easier to use for the experienced user.

Creativity is essential to being a successful programmer. The stories, examples, and groundbreaking research in this book will help you unleash your creative potential! In The Creative Programmer you’ll learn the processes and habits of successful creative individuals and discover how you can build creativity into your programming practice. This fascinating new book introduces the seven domains of creative problem solving and teaches practical techniques that apply those principles to software development. Hand-drawn illustrations, reflective thought experiments, and brain-tickling example problems help you get your creative juices flowing. You’ll soon be thinking up new and novel ways to tackle the big challenges of your projects. In software development, creative problem solving can be just as important as technical knowledge. A splash of creativity helps you break with conventional approaches that just aren’t working. And just like technical skills, creativity can be learned and improved by practice.

Are you a programmer who wants to get started quickly in a new language? This book is for you. Are you a novice who wants to learn to program? This book is not for you. Are you a Python programmer who needs encyclopaedic information? This book is not for you. Like any mainstream language, Python has loops, if statements, assignment statements, functions, etc. I’ll show you what these look like in Python. I won’t waste your time telling you what they’re good for. Python has features you may not be familiar with--iterators, list comprehensions, maybe even dictionaries. I’ll spend more time on these. I’ll cover some of the library functions I found most immediately useful, and tell you where to find more. In short, this book will help you hit the ground running. Next week, you’ll be ready to buy that Python encyclopaedia.

Mathematical Codebook to Navigate Through the Fast-changing AI Landscape. To construct a system that may be referred to as having ‘Artificial Intelligence,’ it is important to develop the capacity to design algorithms capable of performing data-based automated decision-making in conditions of uncertainty. Now, to accomplish this goal, one needs to have an in-depth understanding of the more sophisticated components of linear algebra, vector calculus, probability, and statistics. This book walks you through every mathematical algorithm, as well as its architecture, its operation, and its design so that you can understand how any artificial intelligence system operates. This book will teach you the common terminologies used in Artificial Intelligence such as models, data, parameters of models, and dependent and independent variables. The Bayesian linear regression, the Gaussian mixture model, the stochastic gradient descent, and the backpropagation algorithms are explored with implementation beginning from scratch.
