Dimensionality reduction, also known as Manifold Learning, is an area of Machine Learning used for extracting informative features from data for better representation of data or separation between classes. With the explosion of interest and advances in Machine Learning (ML), there has been a corresponding increased need for educational and reference books to explain various aspects of Machine Learning. However, there has not been a comprehensive text tackling the various methods in dimensionality reduction, Manifold Learning, and feature extraction that integrate with modern Machine Learning theory and practice. This book presents a cohesive review of linear and nonlinear dimensionality reduction and Manifold Learning. Three main aspects of dimensionality reduction are covered—spectral dimensionality reduction, probabilistic dimensionality reduction, and neural network-based dimensionality reduction—which have geometric, probabilistic, and information-theoretic points of view to dimensionality reduction, respectively. The necessary background and preliminaries on linear algebra, optimization, and kernels are also highlighted to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the algorithms. The tools introduced in this book can be applied to various applications involving feature extraction, image processing, Computer Vision, and signal processing.

This book is the seventh volume of the successful book series on Robot Operating System: The Complete Reference, which started in 2016. The book's objective is to provide the reader with comprehensive coverage on the Robot Operating Systems (ROS) and the latest trends and contributed systems. ROS has been considered as the primary development framework for robotics applications. There are seven chapters organized into three parts. Part I presents one chapter dealing with ROS2 and presents a tutorial on using the MediaPipe framework with ROS2. In Part II, three chapters present new contributions of ROS frameworks and applications, including micro-ROS, Autonomous 3D Thermal Mapping of Disaster Environments, and Lab-scale Smart Factory Implementation Using ROS. Part III provides contributions on how to use ROS for cooperative robotics behaviors, particularly in platoon applications, in addition to developing new perception and control algorithms with sensing technologies.

With many recent advances in data science, we have many more tools and techniques available for data analysts to extract information from data sets. This book aims to assist data analysts to move up from simple tools such as Excel for descriptive analytics to answer more sophisticated questions using machine learning. Most of the exercises use R and Python, but rather than focus on coding algorithms, the book employs interactive interfaces to these tools to perform the analysis. Using the CRISP-DM data mining standard, the early chapters cover conducting the preparatory steps in data mining: translating business information needs into framed analytical questions and data preparation. The Jamovi and the JASP interfaces are used with R and the Orange3 data mining interface with Python. Where appropriate, Voyant and other open-source programs are used for text analytics. The techniques covered in this book range from basic descriptive statistics, such as summarization and tabulation, to more sophisticated predictive techniques, such as linear and logistic regression, clustering, classification, and text analytics. Includes companion files with case study files, solution spreadsheets, data sets and charts, etc. from the book.

This book provides an accessible introduction to thermal physics with computational approaches that complement the traditional mathematical treatments of classical thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. It guides readers through visualizations and simulations in the Python programming language, helping them to develop their own technical computing skills (including numerical and symbolic calculations, optimizations, recursive operations, and visualizations). Python is a highly readable and practical programming language, making this book appropriate for students without extensive programming experience. Mathematics is one of the most powerful and essential tools of a physicist, or may even be considered as the language of physics. However, in recent years, computational methods have risen to complement and supplement the traditional, mathematical approaches to physics. As the new generation of physicists is expected to be well versed in modern computational tools, this tutorial was written with the goal of introducing a few elementary skills in data visualization, modeling, and simulation with a popular (as of the 2020s) programming language, Python, within the context of classical thermodynamics and statistical physics.

Современные технологии разработки интернет-приложений шагнули далеко вперед. Можно найти множество учебников, посвященных HTML, CSS, jаvascript и т.п. Все они подробно описывают различные элементы языков и могут использоваться в качестве справочников, однако для их успешного применения необходимо иметь опыт проектирования и разработки приложений. В данном учебном пособии не только описываются элементы языка программирования, но и приводится множество практических примеров, позволяющих решать реальные задачи. А изучение на основании реальных задач, когда видишь результат, гораздо эффективнее, чем решение неинтересных, но очень полезных учебных примеров. Принципы построения игры, описанные в данном учебном пособии, могут быть с минимальными изменениями распространены на другие языки программирования. jаvascript во многих аспектах проще для начального изучения программирования, чем другие языки, но он имеет особенности, отличающие его от классических объектно-ориентированных языков, таких как Java, C++, C# и т.п.

What can you do with Scratch besides write games? Lots of math projects, secret codes, the geometry of Pi, Fibonacci numbers, prime numbers, and other sequences, and more! One story in Frederik Pohl’s anthology Star Science Fiction # 4 is by Fritz Leiber, about a supergenius kitten named Gummitch who planned to write books explaining the world to other genius kittens. One book was to be “Space-Time for Springers,” and that is also the title of the story. My mathematical research is in number theory and combinatorics, often aided by computer explorations. Now I have grandchildren at the age of enthusiasm and wonder, one of whom introduced me to the computer language Scratch. The mascot of Scratch is a smiling ginger kitten, who might as well be Gummitch. This book uses Scratch to develop some ideas in mathematics and to invite exploration, written with my grandchildren in mind. The title I chose makes clear the subject (mathematics) and the tool for exploration (Scratch), but in spirit I tried to write the book Gummitch would have wanted: “Numbers for Springers.”
