Learn the tricks of simple procedural generation and how various genres, such as racing simulators, platformers, and roguelikes, can all benefit from these techniques. In this book, you'll learn how to combine hand-crafted content with algorithms to create immersive and beautiful environments. You'll learn how to create a seeding system, so that you can replay great levels with your friends. We'll cover how to create good tilesets, how to use the tilemap editor effectively, and how to inject just the right amount of logic into an otherwise automated machine that is your own personal procedural content generation engine. I mostly follow popular GDScript syntax conventions. Feel free to deviate from these as you like; but be careful to update the code where you’ve chosen different node, script, class, or file names.

Adopting microservices means changing the way you think about the whole development process—from requirements to rollout. This book will show you the happy path. The Tao of Microservices was an instant classic, guiding thousands of developers at a time when microservices designs were still a bold new idea. This updated second edition is revised for a world where microservices are the de facto standard for enterprise development. This insightful guide helps engineers, architects, and technical leaders understand the principles of microservices that can be used with any project or stack. As you read, you’ll discover experience-based wisdom for making sensible tradeoffs and avoiding common pitfalls. For the code examples I use jаvascript, because that is what most people will be able to read. The ideas in this book work in any language. For the examples, I also use an Open Source microservices framework, of which I am the maintainer. You can use any framework, to none at all, and still apply the ideas in this book usefully. This is not a “how to” book, it is a “what to” book. This book will teach you what to do to make microservices work, and teach you how to think about them.

Apply advanced techniques for optimizing Machine Learning processes. Bayesian optimization helps pinpoint the best configuration for your Machine Learning models with speed and accuracy. Throughout this book, we will see a lot of illustrations, plots, and of course, code, which will help make whichever the topic currently being discussed more straightforward and concrete. You will learn how each component of Bayesian optimization works on a high level and how to implement them using state-of-the-art libraries in Python. Another hope of mine for the accompanying code is that it would help you hit the ground running with your own projects, as the Bayesian optimization framework is very general and "plug-and-play." The exercises are also helpful in this regard.

Discover one-of-a-kind AI strategies never before seen outside of academic papers! Learn how the principles of evolutionary computation overcome deep learning’s common pitfalls and deliver adaptable model upgrades without constant manual adjustment. Evolutionary Deep Learning is a guide to improving your Deep Learning models with AutoML enhancements based on the principles of biological evolution. This exciting new approach utilizes lesser- known AI approaches to boost performance without hours of data annotation or model hyperparameter tuning. To enjoy this book, it is recommended you have some exposure working with and understanding how a Deep Learning framework like Keras or PyTorch function. While you don’t have to be an expert you should be comfortable enough identifying the key components of a Deep Learning system and how they function. If you understand at a high level the mathematical concepts that power deep learning you should also be fine learning new evolutionary methods. Since this is a hands-on book it is also recommended you have experience running Python code as a data scientist or Machine Learning engineer.

Learn Haskell by doing Haskell projects! In this book, you’ll get practical experience writing Haskell code and applying functional programming to actual development challenges. Haskell delivers clean and safe code with mathematical precision and certainty. The pure functional coding language lets you use high level abstractions to keep your code clean and easily readable, and it actively disallows many of the dangerous behaviors that lead to bugs and crashes. These features make Haskell an amazing choice for applications that need an extra guarantee of safety, such such as in smart contracts, data intensive applications, and large scale distributed systems. Haskell is unique in many ways and generally helps us as developers to write safer and cleaner code that can more easily be checked against specifications and be more thoroughly tested, making the language a popular choice when programs are simply not allowed to crash! In this book we cover Haskell and many of its concepts from a real world perspective.

Healthcare is one of the major success stories of our times. Medical science has improved rapidly, raising life expectancy around the world. However, as longevity increases, healthcare systems face growing demands for their services, rising costs, and a workforce that is struggling to meet the needs of its patients. Healthcare is one of the most critical sectors in the broader landscape of big data because of its fundamental role in a productive, thriving society. Building on automation, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize healthcare and help address some of the challenges set out above. The application of AI to healthcare data can literally be a matter of life and death. AI is no single technology; however, it is a collection of various technologies whole together. Although most of the technologies have a significant and rel­evant role in the healthcare sector, the precise tasks and processes they sup­port vary in nature. Therefore, we are choosing the specific AI technologies that are of great importance to the healthcare domain. One type of AI is machine learning. Additionally, it is a statistical tactic to learn through exercising the data model, and the connection between AI, Deep Learning, and learning related to the machine is used to describe how computers learn.
