In the midst of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, your organisation must harness technology, Artificial Intelligence and digital tools to stay ahead in your field. Fail to do so, and you won’t survive. Culture Coding provides five keys to building a digitally focused, constructive culture that engages staff, delivers for clients and ensures success. It shows you how to take advantage of technology, AI and behavioural science to enable a culture for digital and sustainable business growth, whether you lead a startup, an SME or a multinational enterprise. Generative AI is a subset of Machine Learning that involves using algorithms to generate new content, such as images, music, text, or even videos. Unlike traditional Machine Learning algorithms that are trained on large datasets and used to make predictions based on that data, generative AI models are trained to create entirely new content based on the patterns and structures present in the data. Generative AI can be divided into two main categories: discriminative models and generative models. Discriminative models are used to classify or recognize data, while generative models are used to create new data.

In this era of advanced programming languages, the simplicity, universality, and efficiency of Batch scripting holds undeniable value. A book about bat files? Why? Whether you’re maintaining legacy systems or seeking to understand the foundations of command line automation, The Book of Batch Scripting shows you how to become proficient with this tool included in every version of Windows. Batch isn’t new, and the lack of some functionality is mystifying by today’s standards, but it’s still an immensely useful language that isn’t going away anytime soon, especially since it’s being packaged with the operating system installed on every Windows computer. While Batch is one scripting language among many, there are still many lines of Batch code being supported by large and small companies, and some tasks truly lend themselves to bat files more than any other language. And as for that lacking functionality—booleans, arrays, hash tables, stacks, even object-oriented design, and more—I’ll show you how to build it yourselves by the end of this book. But the most immediate reason for me personally to write a book about Batch scripting is that after two decades of writing bat files for personal and professional use, I believe that I’ve gotten to a place where I’ve learned enough about the topic to share my experiences and insights with a larger community.

Reinforcement Learning (RL) has led to several breakthroughs in AI. The use of the Q-learning (DQL) algorithm alone has helped people develop agents that play arcade games and board games at a superhuman level. More recently, RL, DQL, and similar methods have gained popularity in publications related to financial research. This book is among the first to explore the use of Reinforcement Learning methods in finance. Author Yves Hilpisch, founder and CEO of The Python Quants, provides the background you need in concise fashion. ML practitioners, financial traders, portfolio managers, strategists, and analysts will focus on the implementation of these algorithms in the form of self-contained Python code and the application to important financial problems. “Bayesian Learning” discusses Bayesian learning as an example of learning through interaction. “Reinforcement Learning” presents breakthroughs in artificial intelligence that were made possible through reinforcement learning. It also describes the major building blocks of reinforcement learning. “Deep Q-Learning” explains the two major characteristics of deep Q-learning which is the most important algorithm for the remainder of the book.
