| chapter 5 probability and solving word problems: Universal Compression and Retrieval R. Krichevsky, 1994-02-28 Objectives Computer and communication practice relies on data compression and dictionary search methods. They lean on a rapidly developing theory. Its exposition from a new viewpoint is the purpose of the book. We start from the very beginning and finish with the latest achievements of the theory, some of them in print for the first time. The book is intended for serving as both a monograph and a self-contained textbook. Information retrieval is the subject of the treatises by D. Knuth (1973) and K. Mehlhorn (1987). Data compression is the subject of source coding. It is a chapter of information theory. Its up-to-date state is presented in the books of Storer (1988), Lynch (1985), T. Bell et al. (1990). The difference between them and the present book is as follows. First. We include information retrieval into source coding instead of discussing it separately. Information-theoretic methods proved to be very effective in information search. Second. For many years the target of the source coding theory was the estimation of the maximal degree of the data compression. This target is practically bit today. The sought degree is now known for most of the sources. We believe that the next target must be the estimation of the price of approaching that degree. So, we are concerned with trade-off between complexity and quality of coding. Third. We pay special attention to universal families that contain a good com pressing map for every source in a set. |

| chapter 5 probability and solving word problems: Algorithmics for Hard Problems Juraj Hromkovič, 2013-03-14 Algorithmic design, especially for hard problems, is more essential for success in solving them than any standard improvement of current computer technologies. Because of this, the design of algorithms for solving hard problems is the core of current algorithmic research from the theoretical point of view as weIl as from the practical point of view. There are many general textbooks on algorithmics, and several specialized books devoted to particular approaches such as local search, randomization, approximation algorithms, or heuristics. But there is no textbook that focuses on the design of algorithms for hard computing tasks, and that systematically explains, combines, and compares the main possibilities for attacking hard algorithmic problems. As this topic is fundamental for computer science, this book tries to elose this gap. Another motivation, and probably the main reason for writing this book, is connected to education. The considered area has developed very dynamically in recent years and the research on this topic discovered several profound re sults, new concepts, and new methods. Some of the achieved contributions are so fundamental that one can speak about paradigms which should be ineluded in the education of every computer science student. Unfortunately, this is very far from reality. This is because these paradigms are not sufficiently known in the computer science community, and so they are insufficiently communicated to students and practitioners. |

Foreword by Prith Banerjee. About the technology Discover what’s going on inside the black box! To work with deep learning you’ll have to choose the right model, train it, preprocess your data, evaluate performance and accuracy, and deal with uncertainty and variability in the outputs of a deployed solution. This book takes you systematically through the core mathematical concepts you’ll need as a working data scientist: vector calculus, linear algebra, and Bayesian inference, all from a deep learning perspective. About the book Math and Architectures of Deep Learning teaches the math, theory, and programming principles of deep learning models laid out side by side, and then puts them into practice with well-annotated Python code. You’ll progress from algebra, calculus, and statistics all the way to state-of-the-art DL architectures taken from the latest research. What's inside The core design principles of neural networks Implementing deep learning with Python and PyTorch Regularizing and optimizing underperforming models About the reader Readers need to know Python and the basics of algebra and calculus. About the author Krishnendu Chaudhury is co-founder and CTO of the AI startup Drishti Technologies. He previously spent a decade each at Google and Adobe.

| chapter 5 probability and solving word problems: Risk Assessment and Decision Analysis with Bayesian Networks Norman Fenton, Martin Neil, 2018-09-03 Since the first edition of this book published, Bayesian networks have become even more important for applications in a vast array of fields. This second edition includes new material on influence diagrams, learning from data, value of information, cybersecurity, debunking bad statistics, and much more. Focusing on practical real-world problem-solving and model building, as opposed to algorithms and theory, it explains how to incorporate knowledge with data to develop and use (Bayesian) causal models of risk that provide more powerful insights and better decision making than is possible from purely data-driven solutions. Features Provides all tools necessary to build and run realistic Bayesian network models Supplies extensive example models based on real risk assessment problems in a wide range of application domains provided; for example, finance, safety, systems reliability, law, forensics, cybersecurity and more Introduces all necessary mathematics, probability, and statistics as needed Establishes the basics of probability, risk, and building and using Bayesian network models, before going into the detailed applications A dedicated website contains exercises and worked solutions for all chapters along with numerous other resources. The AgenaRisk software contains a model library with executable versions of all of the models in the book. Lecture slides are freely available to accredited academic teachers adopting the book on their course. |

| chapter 5 probability and solving word problems: The Probability Lifesaver Steven J. Miller, 2017-05-16 The essential lifesaver for students who want to master probability For students learning probability, its numerous applications, techniques, and methods can seem intimidating and overwhelming. That's where The Probability Lifesaver steps in. Designed to serve as a complete stand-alone introduction to the subject or as a supplement for a course, this accessible and user-friendly study guide helps students comfortably navigate probability's terrain and achieve positive results. The Probability Lifesaver is based on a successful course that Steven Miller has taught at Brown University, Mount Holyoke College, and Williams College. With a relaxed and informal style, Miller presents the math with thorough reviews of prerequisite materials, worked-out problems of varying difficulty, and proofs. He explores a topic first to build intuition, and only after that does he dive into technical details. Coverage of topics is comprehensive, and materials are repeated for reinforcement—both in the guide and on the book's website. An appendix goes over proof techniques, and video lectures of the course are available online. Students using this book should have some familiarity with algebra and precalculus. The Probability Lifesaver not only enables students to survive probability but also to achieve mastery of the subject for use in future courses. A helpful introduction to probability or a perfect supplement for a course Numerous worked-out examples Lectures based on the chapters are available free online Intuition of problems emphasized first, then technical proofs given Appendixes review proof techniques Relaxed, conversational approach |
