Advanced Guide to Python 3 Programming delves deeply into a host of subjects that you need to understand if you are to develop sophisticated real-world programs. Each topic is preceded by an introduction followed by more advanced topics, along with numerous examples, that take you to an advanced level.
There are nine different sections within the book covering Computer Graphics (including GUIs), Games, Testing, File Input and Output, Databases Access, Logging, Concurrency and Parallelism, Reactive programming, and Networking. Each section is self-contained and can either be read on its own or as part of the book as a whole.
This book is aimed at the those who have learnt the basics of the Python 3 language but want to delve deeper into Python’s eco system of additional libraries and modules, to explore concurrency and parallelism, to create impressive looking graphical interfaces, to work with databases and files and to provide professional logging facilities.

Book Description to Finelybook sorting
Written by leading researchers, this complete introduction brings together all the theory and tools needed for building robust machine learning in adversarial environments. Discover how machine learning systems can adapt when an adversary actively poisons data to manipulate statistical inference, learn the latest practical techniques for investigating system security and performing robust data analysis, and gain insight into new approaches for designing effective countermeasures against the latest wave of cyber-attacks. Privacy-preserving mechanisms and the near-optimal evasion of classifiers are discussed in detail, and in-depth case studies on email spam and network security highlight successful attacks on traditional machine learning algorithms. Providing a thorough overview of the current state of the art in the field, and possible future directions, this groundbreaking work is essential reading for researchers, practitioners and students in computer security and machine learning, and those wanting to learn about the next stage of the cybersecurity arms race.

Concurrency with Modern C++: What every professional C++ programmer should know about concurrency
By 作者: Rainer Grimm
Pub Date: 2019

Pages: 475
Language: English
Format: PDF
Size: 10 Mb


Book Description to Finelybook sorting
C++11 is the first C++ standard that deals with concurrency. The story goes on with C++17 and will continue with C++20/23.
I’ll give you a detailed insight into the current and the upcoming concurrency in C++. This insight includes the theory and a lot of practice.
Concurrency with Modern C++ is a journey through current and upcoming concurrency in C++.

C++11 and C++14 have the basic building blocks for creating concurrent or parallel programs.
With C++17 we got the parallel algorithms of the Standard Template Library (STL). That means, most of the algorithms of the STL can be executed sequential, parallel, or vectorized.
The concurrency story in C++ goes on. With C++20/23 we can hope for executors, extended futures, coroutines, transactions, and more.
This book explains you the details to concurrency in modern C++ and gives you, in addition, more than 100 running code examples . Therefore you can combine the theory with the practices and get the most of it.
Because this book is about concurrency, I present a lot of pitfalls and show you how to overcome them.

The Contemporary Introduction to Deep Reinforcement Learning that Combines Theory and Practice
Deep reinforcement learning (deep RL) combines deep learning and reinforcement learning, in which artificial agents learn to solve sequential decision-making problems. In the past decade deep RL has achieved remarkable results on a range of problems, from single and multiplayer games—such as Go, Atari games, and DotA 2—to robotics.
Foundations of Deep Reinforcement Learning is an introduction to deep RL that uniquely combines both theory and implementation. It starts with intuition, then carefully explains the theory of deep RL algorithms, discusses implementations in its companion software library SLM Lab, and finishes with the practical details of getting deep RL to work.

Understand each key aspect of a deep RL problem
Explore policy- and value-based algorithms, including REINFORCE, SARSA, DQN, Double DQN, and Prioritized Experience Replay (PER)
Delve into combined algorithms, including Actor-Critic and Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO)
Understand how algorithms can be parallelized synchronously and asynchronously
Run algorithms in SLM Lab and learn the practical implementation details for getting deep RL to work
Explore algorithm benchmark results with tuned hyperparameters
Understand how deep RL environments are designed
This guide is ideal for both computer science students and software engineers who are familiar with basic machine learning concepts and have a working understanding of Python.

Artificial Intelligence for the Internet of Everything considers the foundations, metrics and applications of IoE systems. It covers whether devices and IoE systems should speak only to each other, to humans or to both. Further, the book explores how IoE systems affect targeted audiences (researchers, machines, robots, users) and society, as well as future ecosystems. It examines the meaning, value and effect that IoT has had and may have on ordinary life, in business, on the battlefield, and with the rise of intelligent and autonomous systems. Based on an artificial intelligence (AI) perspective, this book addresses how IoE affects sensing, perception, cognition and behavior.
Each chapter addresses practical, measurement, theoretical and research questions about how these “things” may affect individuals, teams, society or each other. Of particular focus is what may happen when these “things” begin to reason, communicate and act autonomously on their own, whether independently or interdependently with other “things”.
