From this book, readers learn basic concepts and programming skills related to R, and Python, then apply them to finance, accounting, marketing, and other business areas. This is a beginner’s book. In other words, we do not assume that readers have any prior knowledge or skills for R or Python. A reader or student could learn both R and Python within one semester if the book is used as a textbook with a good instructor. On the other hand, if a learner learns both languages by himself/herself, it is a good idea to take two semesters, i.e., at a slow pace. There are three parts of the book: R, Python, and applications of R and Python. If this book is adopted as a textbook, the first two parts are more than enough for one semester. The first 13 chapters are centered on R. Starting from Chapter 14: Python Basics, we will focus on Python. One important feature of the second half of the book is that we constantly compare Python with R. Such a comparison serves two purposes. First, learners/students could refresh their mind about R knowledge and related functions. Second, it is much easier to use the same concept with a different language.

Deep learning is one of the most powerful tools in the modern Artificial Intelligence landscape. While having been predominantly applied to highly specialized image, text, and signal datasets, this book synthesizes and presents novel deep learning approaches to a seemingly unlikely domain – tabular data. Whether for finance, business, security, medicine, or countless other domain, deep learning can help mine and model complex patterns in tabular data – an incredibly ubiquitous form of structured data. Part I of the book offers a rigorous overview of Machine Learning principles, algorithms, and implementation skills relevant to holistically modeling and manipulating tabular data. Part II studies five dominant Deep Learning model designs – Artificial Neural Networks, Convolutional Neural Networks, Recurrent Neural Networks, Attention and Transformers, and Tree-Rooted Networks – through both their ‘default’ usage and their application to tabular data. Part III compounds the power of the previously covered methods by surveying strategies and techniques to supercharge Deep Learning systems: autoencoders, deep data generation, meta-optimization, multi-model arrangement, and neural network interpretability. Each chapter comes with extensive visualization, code, and relevant research coverage

This book contains frequently asked questions and their answer/explanations on essential Java topics. You can use this book to revise all essential Java concepts before your interview quickly, and you can also use this book to learn Core Java in depth. Crack your Java interview by preparing important topics and mastering key concepts in a guided and structured way in a short time. Cracking a Java Interview is not easy, and one of the main reasons for that is Java is very vast. There are a lot of concepts and APIs to master to become a decent Java developer. Many people who are good at general topics like Data Structure and Algorithms, System Design, SQL, and Databases fail to crack the Java interview because they don't spend time learning the Core Java concepts and essential APIs and packages like Java Collection Framework, Multithreading, JVM Internals, JDBC, Design Patterns, and Object-Oriented Programming.

From basic syntax, constructor and destruction rules, lifetime, and template deduction. Everything you want to know about Modern C++ techniques related to initialization. C++20 included! Initialization in C++ is a hot topic! The internet is full of discussions about best practices, and there are even funny memes on that subject. The situation is not surprising, as there are more than a dozen ways to initialize a simple integer value, complex rules for the auto-type deduction, data members, and object lifetime nuances. Throughout this text, you will learn practical options to initialize various categories of variables and data members in Modern C++. More specifically, this text teaches multiple types of initialization, constructors, non-static data member initialization, inline variables, designated initializers, and more. Additionally, you’ll see the changes and new techniques from C++11 to C++20 and lots of examples to round out your understanding.

Digital Twins for Healthcare: Design, Challenges and Solutions establishes the state-of-art in the specification, design, creation, deployment and exploitation of digital twins' technologies for healthcare and wellbeing. A digital twin is a digital replication of a living or non-living physical entity. When data is transmitted seamlessly, it bridges the physical and virtual worlds, thus allowing the virtual entity to exist simultaneously with the physical entity. A digital twin facilitates the means to understand, monitor, and optimize the functions of the physical entity and provide continuous feedback. It can be used to improve citizens' quality of life and wellbeing in smart cities and the virtualization of industrial processes. The Digital Twin (DT) technology has gained success in the production industry, and it is now getting attention in the domain of health and well-being. The healthcare DT models require Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities related to various health conditions, including early warnings of a patient's critical condition, classification of diabetes risk, heart risk, and prediction for preparedness for hospital management. In addition, DT is adopting AI to increase the scope and impact of healthcare applications.

The objective of the book is to make the readers self-sufficient in the fine art of developing highly accurate Machine Learning models that make it to production. We will cover different stages of the Machine Learning project from development to the explanation of model predictions. Learning the fundamental building blocks of building machine learning models will make us better educated machine learning engineers, researchers, capable consultants, and confident leaders. This book will help beginners shorten their learning curve in their journey to become capable machine learning engineers. For experienced consultants, we cover some methods and techniques which are less often heard and used. Techniques that were not available in Python previously. For leaders in Data Science, it will help you get perspective on how to advocate your models by using model explainability. Although concepts covered in the book are applicable across programming languages, this book is written for Python users. It is for the same purpose that several algorithms mentioned in this book were developed from scratch and open-sourced as 4 separate Python libraries by the author. It is assumed that the reader has a basic understanding of libraries such as Sklearn for Machine Learning, Pandas, and Numpy for data manipulation, as well as Matplotlib and Seaborn for data visualization.
