Symbolic Regression (SR) is one of the most powerful Machine Learning (ML) techniques that produces transparent models, searching the space of mathematical expressions for a model that represents the relationship between the predictors and the dependent variable without the need of taking assumptions about the model structure. Currently, the most prevalent learning algorithms for SR are based on Genetic Programming (GP), an evolutionary algorithm inspired from the well-known principles of natural selection. This book is an in-depth guide to GP for SR, discussing its advanced techniques, as well as examples of applications in science and engineering. The basic idea of GP is to evolve a population of solution candidates in an iterative, generational manner, by repeated application of selection, crossover, mutation, and replacement, thus allowing the model structure, coefficients, and input variables to be searched simultaneously. Given that explainability and interpretability are key elements for integrating humans into the loop of learning in Artificial Intelligence (AI), increasing the capacity for data scientists to understand internal algorithmic processes and their resultant models has beneficial implications for the learning process as a whole. This book represents a practical guide for industry professionals and students across a range of disciplines, particularly Data Science, engineering, and applied mathematics. Focused on state-of-the-art SR methods and providing ready-to-use recipes, this book is especially appealing to those working with empirical or semi-analytical models in science and engineering.

The book shows application potentials of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in various industries and presents application scenarios on how a practical implementation can take place. The starting point is the description of legal aspects, which includes a European regulation for Artificial Intelligence and addresses the question of the permissibility of automated decisions. The description of various application potentials, mostly industry-related, and the presentation of some application scenarios form the focus of the topic volume. Four mobility scenarios, in which cars are privately owned or shared on the one hand and are driven by a driver or move autonomously on the other, are changing the most important business processes in the automotive trade, such as car sales, maintenance, repairs and used car purchases. In all processes, application scenarios for the Artificial Intelligence (AI) subfields computer vision, natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning can be identified. The analysis shows that the current degree of implementation varies widely, from the already widespread predictive maintenance in maintenance, to the first approaches of computer vision for diagnosis in repair and used car purchase, to the still novel use of chatbots in consulting and Machine Learning in recommendation processes. For car dealers, the question arises of specialization, e.g. as a service factory or for the fleet management of a mobility service provider, each of which requires different AI scenarios. The book is based on the question of how Artificial Intelligence can be used in entrepreneurial practice. It offers important information that is just as relevant for practitioners as for students and teachers.

This unique volume covers two fundamental elements of computational methods — numbers and functions. It provides an in-depth discussion of the behaviors of numbers, including both real and complex numbers. The discussion leads to the important closure properties of numbers, ensuring solution consistence and existence, and also possible failure in numerical computations in science and engineering.This text then introduces types of functions that take numbers as independent variables and produce a single number. Approaches for constructing inverse functions are also provided. Frequently used basis functions are introduced, with detailed studies on their properties and behaviors. Techniques are presented for constructing basis functions and their use in function approximation in computational methods. Taking advantage of the fast development of computer hardware and software, our discussions will largely be accompanied by computer codes, so that the concepts, theories, and formulations can be immediately demonstrated using examples with results plotted. We will use primarily Python in the first handful of volumes on more fundamental topics and possibly other suitable languages for more advanced topics. Python codes are used because they are currently, and in the foreseeable time, the most popular and easy-to-use tool. The idea is to break down all these difficult topics into simpler ones and conquere one by one immediately using the codes provided. As Python codes are provided, readers can easily see how the theory is formulated and how the solutions are obtained in terms of formulas, numbers, and graphs. Readers may also deepen their understanding via playing with codes and even further develop his/her own codes for solving other related problems. The book is written in Jupyter Notebook format, so that description of theory, formulation, derivation, and coding can all be done in a unified document.

Programming Language Explorations helps its readers gain proficiency in programming language practice and theory by presenting both example-focused, chapter-length explorations of fourteen important programming languages and detailed discussions of the major concepts transcending multiple languages. A language-by-language approach is sandwiched between an introductory chapter that motivates and lays out the major concepts of the field and a final chapter that brings together all that was learned in the middle chapters into a coherent and organized view of the field. Each of the featured languages in the middle chapters is introduced with a common trio of example programs and followed by a tour of its basic language features and coverage of interesting aspects from its type system, functional forms, scoping rules, concurrency patterns, and metaprogramming facilities. These chapters are followed by a brief tour of over 40 additional languages designed to enhance the reader’s appreciation of the breadth of the programming language landscape and to motivate further study. We’ve carefully chosen the order of languages to make a story out of the book. We start with Lua for its elegant design and relatively small but powerful feature set. jаvascript follows with similar features to Lua (such as first class functions and prototypal inheritance), while adding a host of modern features and a powerful event-driven, asynchronous programming model. As perhaps the world’s most popular language, jаvascript has influenced hundreds of successors, the most popular of which, TypeScript, comes next, along with an introduction to static types. The next two languages, Python and Ruby, are general-purpose scripting languages, in which we focus on first-class types and object-oriented programming, respectively. We then encounter Java, an extraordinarily popular language in the enterprise computing space.
