Ведущие эксперты в области архитектуры программного обеспечения Вон Вернон и Томаш Яскула показывают, как принимать взвешенные архитектурные решения, основанные на необходимости и цели, а не на хайпе, чтобы повысить ценность и инновационность, создать более эволюционирующие системы и избежать дорогостоящих ошибок. На реалистичных примерах они показывают, как создавать хорошо спроектированные монолиты, которые можно обслуживать и расширять, и как постепенно перепроектировать и реализовать даже самые запутанные унаследованные системы в действительно эффективные микросервисы.

AI is undoubtedly the most critical technology that we must understand today. It is affecting everyone’s career, business and profession. However, AI is a complex and mysterious technology. To understand it, we have to climb a mountain of cryptic mathematical concepts and formulas, and success may still be elusive. ‘The Secrets of AI’ addresses this and explains AI in a simple, math-free language. This book sidesteps arcane algorithmic details and presents AI from the important perspectives of – intelligence, engineering, design, learnability, trust and business. It provides deep insights into the symbiotic relationships between data, learning and intelligence. The book has a strong focus on AI engineering. The AI development lifecycle is illustrated with an exhaustive case study on AI-driven live coverage of sports. It includes domain study, model architecture, feature engineering, model training, deployment and feedback learning. The book describes several design patterns and heuristics that are useful for building successful AI-powered systems.

This book covers the computational aspects of psychometric methods involved in developing measurement instruments and analyzing measurement data in social sciences. It covers the main topics of psychometrics such as validity, reliability, item analysis, item response theory models, and computerized adaptive testing. The computational aspects comprise the statistical theory and models, comparison of estimation methods and algorithms, as well as an implementation with practical data examples in R and also in an interactive ShinyItemAnalysis application. In this book, we use R which is a freely available statistical environment. There are a number of things that make R a great choice for psychometric analysis: Besides being free, it is also open source software, meaning that the code is available for the user, and it is possible to check what a given function does or how the methods are implemented. It offers up-to-date methods as a number of statisticians and researchers from different fields implement the newly published algorithms and methods in R.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now everywhere and fuels both industry and daily life all over the world. We are in the era of “Big Data,” and huge sums of information can be obtained which are too cumbersome for people to process themselves. These Big Data are even with much complex correlations behind them in various areas, such as computer vision and social media. For example, the complex correlations among pixels in an image reveal its semantic information, and different types of correlations among social posts infer the users’ emotions. Therefore, developing effective AI methods to exploit such complex data correlations has become an urgent but challenging task. Graph has been widely used to formulate data correlations. A graph is a non-linear data structure which is composed of groups of vertices and edges, representing the pairwise correlations among vertices. Graph learning and graph neural networks have attracted much attention in both research and industrial fields and become very hot topics in these years. It is noted that the world is far more complex than just pairwise connections, and thus graph-based methods still have limitations on high-order correlation modeling. Hypergraph, as a generation of graph, is able to formulate such high-order correlations among the data and has been investigated in last decades. Recent years have witnessed a great popularity of research on hypergraph-related AI methods, which have been used in computer vision, social media analysis, and etc.

Discover a new way of thinking about business applications in light of the massive industry shift toward cloud computing and reactive programming technologies. This book synthesizes technologies and techniques such as event sourcing, command query responsibility segregation (CQRS), property-based testing, and GraphQL into a cohesive guide for modern business applications that benefit every developer. The book begins with a look at the fundamentals of modern business applications. These fundamentals include business rules and the managing of data over time. The benefits of reactive techniques are explained, including how they are fundamentally aligned with what application developers strive to achieve in their work. Author Peter Royal equips you with sound guidance to follow as you evolve your existing systems, as well as examples of how to build those systems using modern techniques in Spring, Java, and PostgreSQL.

The first chapter contains a quick introduction to Java, along with Java code samples to check for leap years, find divisors of a number, and work with arrays of strings. The second chapter introduces recursion and usescode samples to check if a positive number is prime, to find the prime divisors of a positive integer, to calculate the GCD (greatest common divisor) and LCM (lowest common multiple) of a pair of positive integers. The third chapter contains Java code samples involving strings and arrays, such as finding binary substrings of a number, checking if strings contain unique characters, counting bits in a range of numbers, and how to compute XOR without using the XOR function. Chapters 4 through 6 include Java code samples involving search algorithms, concepts in linked lists, and tasks involving linked lists. Finally, Chapter 7 discusses data structures called queues and stacks, along with additional Java code samples.

This graduate-level textbook is ideally suited for lecturing the most relevant topics of Edge Computing and its ties to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) approaches. The book starts from basics and gradually advances, step-by-step, to ways AI/ML concepts can help or benefit from edge computing platforms. Using practical labs, each topic is brought to earth so that students can practice their learned knowledge with industry-approved software packages. The book is structured into seven chapters; each comes with its own dedicated set of teaching materials (practical skills, demonstration videos, questions, lab assignments, etc.). Chapter 1 opens the book and comprehensively introduces the concept of distributed computing continuum systems that led to the creation of Edge Computing. Chapter 2 motivates the use of container technologies and how they are used to implement programmable edge computing platforms. Chapter 3 introduces ways to employ AI/ML approaches to optimize service lifecycles at the edge. Chapter 4 goes deeper in the use of AI/ML and introduces ways to optimize spreading computational tasks along edge computing platforms.
