By Hasmat Malik, D. P. Kothari, Md. Waseem Ahmad. 2022
This book brings together state-of-the-art advances in intelligent data analytics as driver of the future evolution of PaE systems. In…
the modern power and energy (PaE) domain, the increasing penetration of renewable energy sources (RES) and the consequent empowerment of consumers as a central and active solution to deal with the generation and development variability are driving the PaE system towards a historic paradigm shift. The small-scale, diversity, and especially the number of new players involved in the PaE system potentiate a significant growth of generated data. Moreover, advances in communication (between IoT devices and M2M: machine to machine, man to machine, etc.) and digitalization hugely increased the volume of data that results from PaE components, installations, and systems operation. This data is becoming more and more important for PaE systems operation, maintenance, planning, and scheduling with relevant impact on all involved entities, from producers, consumer,s and aggregators to market and system operators. However, although the PaE community is fully aware of the intrinsic value of those data, the methods to deal with it still necessitate substantial enhancements, development and research. Intelligent data analytics is thereby playing a fundamental role in this domain, by enabling stakeholders to expand their decision-making method and achieve the awareness on the PaE environment. The editors also included demonstrated codes for presented problems for better understanding for beginners.Künstliche Intelligenz: Vom Schachspieler zur Superintelligenz?

Doch was macht einen Computer eigentlich intelligent? Wie lernen Algorithmen und wie bringt man einer Maschine das Spielen bei? Wobei kann uns KI heute und in Zukunft helfen – und wo versagen die selbstlernenden Programme?Die hier zusammengestellten Artikel aus »Spektrum der Wissenschaft«, »Gehirn&Geist« und »spektrum.de« bieten eine themenübergreifende Übersicht zu den wichtigsten Fragen der künstlichen Intelligenz. Interessierte Laien ohne besonderes Vorwissen erhalten einen Überblick von den Grundlagen neuronaler Netze und evolutionärer Algorithmen bis hin zu aktuellen Forschungsfragen aus Naturwissenschaft und Technik.Im ersten Teil des Buchs erfahren Sie, wie man einem Computer beibringt, selbstständig zu lernen, mit welchen Tricks man Algorithmen weiter verbessert und bekannte Schwächen behebt – und wie sogar Maschinen kreativ werden können. Inwiefern das speziell beim Erlernen von Brett- und Videospielen passiert und was das für weitere Anwendungen bedeutet, erklären wir im zweiten Teil. Der dritte Abschnitt beschäftigt sich mit den Fortschritten in Forschung und Technik, die Wissenschaftler mit Hilfe von KI erlangen: von der Suche nach neuer Physik bis hin zu der Entwicklung neuer Medikamente. Das letzte Kapitel widmet sich der Frage, wo die Grenzen des vermeintlichen Alleskönners KI liegen – und welche potenziellen Gefahren heute und in Zukunft davon ausgehen.C# 10 Quick Syntax Reference: A Pocket Guide to the Language, APIs, and Library

include information lookup, sharing, synthesis, and decision-making. In addition, they all have an end-goal that is mutually beneficial to all parties involved. Such "collaborative information seeking" (CIS) projects typically last several sessions and the participants all share an intention to contribute and benefit. Not surprisingly, these processes are highly interactive. Shah focuses on two individually well-understood notions: collaboration and information seeking, with the goal of bringing them together to show how it is a natural tendency for humans to work together on complex tasks. The first part of his book introduces the general notions of collaboration and information seeking, as well as related concepts, terminology, and frameworks; and thus provides the reader with a comprehensive treatment of the concepts underlying CIS. The second part of the book details CIS as a standalone domain. A series of frameworks, theories, and models are introduced to provide a conceptual basis for CIS. The final part describes several systems and applications of CIS, along with their broader implications on other fields such as computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) and human-computer interaction (HCI). With this first comprehensive overview of an exciting new research field, Shah delivers to graduate students and researchers in academia and industry an encompassing description of the technologies involved, state-of-the-art results, and open challenges as well as research opportunities.The Routledge Handbook of Smart Technologies: An Economic and Social Perspective (Routledge International Handbooks)

on the digitisation of information. The acronym stands for "Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology". This new wave is one in a row of waves that have shaken up and transformed the economy, society and culture since the first Industrial Revolution and have left a huge impact on how we live, think, communicate and work: they have deeply affected the socioeconomic metabolism from within and humankind’s footprint on our planet. The Handbook analyses the origins of the current wave, its roots in earlier ones and its path-dependent nature; its current forms and actual manifestations; its multifarious impact on economy and society; and it puts forward some guesstimates regarding the probable directions of its further development. In short, the Handbook studies the past, the present and the future of smart technologies and digitalisation. This cutting-edge reference will appeal to a broad audience, including but not limited to, researchers from various disciplines with a focus on technological innovation and their impact on the socioeconomic system; students across different fields but especially from economics, social sciences and law studying questions related to radical technological change and its consequences, as well as professionals around the globe interested in the debate of smart technologies and socioeconomic transformation, from a multi- and interdisciplinary perspective.This book examines the work of the public relations, technology, and legal professionals who provide online "reputation management" services, situating…
their work within contemporary debates about regulating speech on the internet. The author argues that legal solutions like the European "Right to Be Forgotten" are not really possible in the U.S., but that the private solutions of reputation management help to ameliorate novel concerns about reputation. At the same time, he contends that these practices prompt different free speech and dignitary concerns unique to the digital environment. Drawing upon rhetorical and legal analysis of diverse texts, including reputation management promotional materials, interviews with practitioners, legal cases, and popular online commentary about reputational disputes themselves, the book intervenes in specific debates about the regulation of the internet, as well as broader socio-legal debates about the role of reputation-damaging speech in a democratic society. This timely and relevant study will have great relevance for all students and scholars of communication studies, public relations, rhetoric, new and digital media, internet law, technology and society, computer mediated communication, and sociology.Total Journalism: Models, Techniques and Challenges (Studies in Big Data #97)

By Hannah Arendt. 1957
A biography of a Jewish woman, a writer who hosted a literary and political salon in late eighteenth- and early…
nineteenth-century Germany, written by one of the twentieth century's most prominent intellectuals, Hannah Arendt.Rahel Varnhagen: The Life of a Jewish Woman was Hannah Arendt&’s first book, largely completed when she went into exile from Germany in 1933, though not published until the 1950s. It is the biography of a remarkable, complicated, passionate woman, and an important figure in German romanticism. Rahel Varnhagen also bore the burdens of being an unusual woman in a man&’s world and an assimilated Jew in Germany.She was, Arendt writes, &“neither beautiful nor attractive . . . and possessed no talents with which to employ her extraordinary intelligence and passionate originality.&” Arendt sets out to tell the story of Rahel&’s life as Rahel might have told it and, in doing so, to reveal the way in which assimilation defined one person&’s destiny. On her deathbed Rahel is reported to have said, &“The thing which all my life seemed to me the greatest shame, which was the misery and misfortune of my life—having been born a Jewess—this I should on no account now wish to have missed.&” Only because she had remained both a Jew and a pariah, Arendt observes, &“did she find a place in the history of European humanity.&”
