Diagrams communicate relationships more directly and clearly than words ever can. Using only text-based markup, create meaningful and attractive diagrams to document your domain, visualize user flows, reveal system architecture at any desired level, or refactor your code. With the tools and techniques this book will give you, you'll create a wide variety of diagrams in minutes, share them with others, and revise and update them immediately on the basis of feedback. Adding diagrams to your professional vocabulary will enable you to work through your ideas quickly when working on your own code or discussing a proposal with colleagues. We’ll start out by introducing most of the key concepts used throughout the book: Mermaid and UML. We’ll cover a brief history of UML, get you set up with Mermaid, and even produce your first diagram! Why Mermaid over other tools, such as PlantUML? Some of this will become apparent in later chapters, particularly the final one, but in the past PlantUML was a hard sell to engineers as there weren’t any major adoptions for it. Mermaid, however, in constrast is making waves, with GitHub and GitLab both having native support for rendering Mermaid diagrams without any additional tooling. Using tools like Mermaid, we can quickly and easily create an array of diagrams using syntax similar to Markdown.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is viewed as one of the technological advances that will reshape modern societies and their relations. While the design and deployment of systems that continually adapt hold the promise of far-reaching, positive change, they simultaneously pose significant risks, especially to already vulnerable people. This work explores the meaning of AI, and the important role of critical understanding and its phenomenological foundation in shaping its ongoing advances. The values, power, and magic of reason are central to this discussion. Critical theory has used historical hindsight to explain the patterns of power that shape our intellectual, political, economic, and social worlds, and the discourse on AI that surrounds these worlds. The authors also delve into niche topics in philosophy such as transcendental self-awareness, post-humanism, and concepts of space-time and computer logic.

Mobile Health (M-Health) integrates the Internet of Things, mobile computing, medical image processing, medical sensor, and communications technology for mobile healthcare applications. Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) of intelligent sensors represent an emerging technology for system integration with great potential for unobtrusive ambulatory health monitoring during extended periods. However, system designers will have to resolve several issues, such as severe limitations of sensor weight and size necessary to improve user compliance, sensor resource constraints, intermittent availability of uplink connectivity, and reliability of transmission, security, and interoperability of different platforms. In addition, there are many challenges like Frequency Band Selection, Antenna Design, Channel Modelling, Energy-efficient hardware, Real-time connectivity over heterogeneous networks Security and Privacy, and others. With the WBAN placed on the patient body in rural areas and the mobile computing devices having the intelligence to acquire and process the data immediately, some of the issues like security and privacy are overcome. More intelligent processing is made available in handheld devices by building more facilities in the device software. This book focuses on recent developments in integrating AI, machine learning methods, medical image processing, advanced network security, and advanced antenna design techniques to bring M-Healthcare systems, leading to a new, promising, and secure M-Healthcare system.

Develop a mathematical intuition for how Machine Learning (ML) algorithms work so you can improve model performance and effectively troubleshoot complex ML problems. Machine Learning Algorithms in Depth dives into the design and underlying principles of some of the most exciting Machine Learning (ML) algorithms in the world today. With a particular emphasis on probability-based algorithms, you’ll learn the fundamentals of Bayesian inference and Deep Learning. You’ll also explore the core data structures and algorithmic paradigms for Machine Learning. Each algorithm is fully explored with both math and practical implementations so you can see how they work and how they’re put into action. For each category of algorithm, you’ll go from math-first principles to a hands-on implementation in Python, exploring dozens of examples from across all the fields of machine learning. Each example is accompanied by worked-out derivations and details, as well as insightful code samples and graphics.

Idris is a programming language designed to encourage Type-Driven Development. Dependent types are a concept that allows developers to write proof-carrying code. In Idris, types are first-class constructs in the language. This means types can be passed as arguments to functions, and returned from functions just like any other value, such as numbers, strings, or lists. This book will teach you the mathematical foundations of Idris as well as how to use it to write software and mathematically prove properties. Idris is a general-purpose functional1 programming language that supports dependent types. The features of Idris are influenced by Haskell, another general-purpose functional programming language. Thus, Idris shares many features with Haskell, especially in the part of syntax and types, where Idris has a more advanced type system. There are several other programming languages that support dependent types; however, I chose Idris for its readable syntax.

When you’re new to Python, it can be tough to understand where and how to use its many language features. There’s a dizzying array of libraries, and it’s challenging to fit everything together. The Well-Grounded Python Developer builds on Python skills you’ve learned in isolation and shows you how to unify them into a meaningful whole. As you work through this practical guide, you’ll discover how all the bits of the Python ecosystem connect as you build and modify a typical web server application. Python is the perfect language for beginning programmers. It is easy to learn, with tons of helpful libraries and tools. Better still, it doesn’t run out of steam when you want to create more advanced applications for web development or Machine Learning. Once you’ve mastered the syntax of simple Python scripts, it can be a challenge to progress to more ambitious projects. This book helps you on that path. For beginner developers who have learned the basics of Python.

Get ready to code like a pro in Rust! This hands-on guide dives deep into memory management, asynchronous programming, and Rust design patterns and explores essential productivity techniques like testing, tooling, and project management. Code Like A Pro in Rust is a fast-track guide to building and delivering professional quality software in Rust. You’ll upgrade your basic knowledge of Rust with conventions, best practices, and veteran’s secrets that are normally only learned through years of experience. Skip the fluff and get right to the heart of this powerful modern language, including Rust’s support for asynchronous programming and integrating Rust with codebases written in other languages. This is not an introductory book for the Rust language; this book is for those who’ve learned the basics of the language and want to fast forward past the bang-your-head-in-frustration phase of learning a new programming language. If you’re new to programming in general, you may find this book quite challenging, and while I won’t discourage you from reading it, you may find it difficult to follow.
