Python has so many libraries that people often forget to take their time to learn about all the really interesting and useful features that Python offers. The Pydon'ts teach you these core features of Python, with plenty of code examples to show you how these features are used in real code in the real world. Python was not my first programming language, and I remember picking it up as a friend of mine recommended it to me. Now, many years later, I still enjoy writing Python code, whether for work-related reasons or for my own projects. In programming, much like in mathematics – my main area of expertise –, there is a sense of elegance in the code (or proofs) we write. As I learned more and more about programming in general and Python in particular, I developed a sense for what I consider to be elegant Python programs. This is one of the things I intend to share in this book: tips on how to write beautiful Python programs. Of course, the notion of elegance is a subjective one, so it may very well be the case that what I find elegant is not what you find elegant, and that is perfectly fine. In general, neither one of us will be wrong. Tied to my effort of sharing my interpretation of what elegant Python programs look like, I also want you to learn about all the nooks and crannies of the core language. Python is a very, very, rich language, and the more you learn about it, the more well equipped you will be to use it to its full potential. That is why every chapter focuses on exploring a single feature of the core language of Python, which is always accompanied by usage examples of said feature. Some times we will look at how Python’s own Standard Library makes use of that feature, other times I will show some of my own code, and other times I will even come up with random examples.

In both the database and Machine Learning communities, data quality has become a serious issue which cannot be ignored. In this context, we refer to data with quality problems as “dirty data.” Clearly, for a given data mining or Machine Learning task, dirty data in both training and test datasets can affect the accuracy of results. Accordingly, this book analyzes the impacts of dirty data and explores effective methods for dirty data processing. Although existing data cleaning methods improve data quality dramatically, the cleaning costs are still high. If we knew how dirty data affected the accuracy of Machine Learning models, we could clean data selectively according to the accuracy requirements instead of cleaning all dirty data, which entails substantial costs. However, no book to date has studied the impacts of dirty data on Machine Learning models in terms of data quality. Filling precisely this gap, the book is intended for a broad audience ranging from researchers in the database and Machine Learning communities to industry practitioners. Readers will find valuable takeaway suggestions on: model selection and data cleaning; incomplete data classification with view-based decision trees; density-based clustering for incomplete data; the feature selection method, which reduces the time costs and guarantees the accuracy of Machine Learning models; and cost-sensitive decision tree induction approaches under different scenarios.

Leverage leadership knowledge to make better software architecture decisions. Think deeply but implement slowly. The overarching goal of software systems (hence, for software architecture) is to build systems that meet quality standards and that provide the highest return on investment (ROI) in the long run or within a defined period of time. A great product requires a combination of technology, leadership, and product management (including UX). Leadership is primarily about managing uncertainty and making the right judgment. To build great products, technical leaders need to combine technology, leadership, and product management knowledge, and make the right decisions. Many technical mistakes come from the gap between knowledge about these three items and judgment. In Software Architecture and Decision-Making, Srinath Perera explains principles and concepts that software architects must understand deeply and how to employ those principles to manage uncertainty. The questions and principles discussed in this book help manage uncertainty while building software architecture and provide a framework for making decisions. This book is for all technical leaders in the software industry who make holistic judgments about the systems they build and for future leaders learning the craft.

Picture Fuzzy Logic and Its Applications in Decision Making Problems provides methodological frameworks and the latest empirical research findings in the field of picture fuzzy operators and their applications in scientific research and real-world engineering problems. In this book, picture fuzzy sets are investigated, and different types of operators are defined to solve a number of important decision-making and optimization problems. The hybrid operator on picture fuzzy set based on the combination of picture fuzzy weighted averaging operators and picture fuzzy weighted geometric operators is developed and named Hybrid Picture Fuzzy Weighted Averaging Geometric (H-PFWAG) operator. In addition, another operator is developed for interval-valued picture fuzzy environment, which is named Hybrid Interval-Valued Picture Fuzzy Weighted Averaging Geometric (H-IVPFWAG) operator. These two operators are then demonstrated as solutions to Multiple-Attribute Decision-Making (MADM) problems. The picture fuzzy soft weighted aggregation operators (averaging and geometric) are defined, and these are applied to develop a multi-criteria group decision making system.
