The Day Kasparov Quit: and other chess interviews

Szachy > Książki New In Chess

What goes on in some of the sharpest minds on earth? Ten years after his bestselling "Finding Bobby Fischer",  Dirk Jan ten Geuzendam  has collected a new series of intimate portraits of the top grandmasters of chess.  Ten Geuzendam wins the confidence of Garry Kasparov, Miguel Najdorf, Vishy Anand, Judit Polgar, David Bronstein, Hikaru Nakamura and many others. He meets the living legends of chess in Buenos Aires and Istanbul, Moscow and New York. Vladimir Kramnik explains how the Czech ice hockey team inspired him to beat Kasparov, while Henrique Mecking reveals that Jesus helps him to find the correct move. Anyone attracted by the mystique of the royal game will love the behind-the-scenes stories about the masters#8217; struggle to win, their fear of losing, and the striking difference between the European and the American chess scene.  Centre stage is occupied by the great Garry Kasparov, who topped the world rankings for more than 20 years, a feat unparalleled in any sport.  Kasparov#8217;s dramatic retirement from professional chess marks the end of an epoch. An epoch which The Day Kasparov Quit evokes in fascinating detail. Lubosh Kavalek, The Washington Post: "A master interviewer." Luke McShane, The Sunday Express: "Quite simply, a gem of book." British Chess Magazine: "Ten Geuzendam somehow manages to get the confidence of his subjetcs despite asking them sharp and challenging questions." Australian Chess: "Where top chess players frequently have a loose tongue." Eric Schiller: "The world's best chess interviewer. Go out and buy a copy." Mark Weeks, About.com: "Dirk Jan ten Geuzendam probably knows more about the contemporary international chess scene than any other chess journalist in the world." John Watson, The Week in Chess: "Pure gold."

Spalona Żywcem Wyd. Kieszonkowe - Souad

Książki & Multimedia > Książki

Opis - Pierwsze na świecie świadectwo ofiary zbrodni honorowej. Miała siedemnaście lat i zakochała się: zhańbiła rodzinę. Więc rodzina wydała na nią wyrok śmierci... Pokochała go pierwszą miłością. Myślała, że się z nią ożeni. Ale ukochany zniknął, a ona odkryła, że jest w ciąży. A w jej świecie to najcięższa zbrodnia... W zapomnianej przez Boga wiosce w Cisjordanii kobiety są warte mniej niż zwierzęta domowe. Tu mężczyzna jest panem życia i śmierci żony, córki, siostry. Brat może bezkarnie zabić siostrę, matka - córkę, kolejną bezużyteczną dziewczynkę, jaka się urodzi. Tu kobiecie odbiera się godność, a nawet życie zgodnie z odwiecznym obyczajem i uświęconą tradycją. A śmierć jest karą dla dziewczyny, która zhańbi rodzinę. Tak jak Souad. Wyrok wydaje jej ojciec. Szwagier dokonuje egzekucji. Oblewa Souad benzyną i podpala... SOUAD przeżyła - cudem, ale rodzina usiłowała zabić ją nawet w szpitalu. Na zawsze jednak pozostanie straszliwie okaleczona - na ciele i duszy. I wciąż musi się ukrywać; dopóki żyje, jej rodzinę okrywa hańba. Spalona żywcem, opublikowana pod pseudonimem szokująca opowieść o piekle, jakim było jej dzieciństwo i młodość, stała się międzynarodowym bestsellerem. Wydana w 37 w krajach książka przerywa tabu milczenia wobec istniejącej nadal w krajach muzułmańskich barbarzyńskiej tradycji. Nieludzkiego obyczaju, prawa mężczyzn, na mocy którego co najmniej pięć tysięcy kobiet pada co roku ofiarą zbrodni honorowej. Nazwa - Spalona Żywcem Wyd.

Artificial Intelligence for Edge Computing Springer, Berlin

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

It is undeniable that the recent revival of artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly changed the landscape of science in many application domains, ranging from health to defense and from conversational interfaces to autonomous cars. With terms such as "Google Home", "Alexa", and "ChatGPT" becoming household names, the pervasive societal impact of AI is clear. Advances in AI promise a revolution in our interaction with the physical world, a domain where computational intelligence has always been envisioned as a transformative force toward a better tomorrow. Depending on the application family, this domain is often referred to as Ubiquitous Computing, Cyber-Physical Computing, or the Internet of Things. The underlying vision is driven by the proliferation of cheap embedded computing hardware that can be integrated easily into myriads of everyday devices from consumer electronics, such as personal wearables and smart household appliances, to city infrastructure and industrial process control systems. One common trait across these applications is that the data that the application operates on come directly (typically via sensors) from the physical world. Thus, from the perspective of communication network infrastructure, the data originate at the network edge. From a performance standpoint, there is an argument to be made that such data should be processed at the point of collection. Hence, a need arises for Edge AI -- a genre of AI where the inference, and sometimes even the training, are performed at the point of need, meaning at the edge where the data originate.The book is broken down into three parts: core problems, distributed problems, and other cross-cutting issues. It explores the challenges arising in Edge AI contexts. Some of these challenges (such as neural network model reduction to fit resource-constrained hardware) are unique to the edge environment. They need a novel category of solutions that do not parallel more typical concerns in mainstream AI. Others are adaptations of mainstream AI challenges to the edge space. An example is overcoming the cost of data labeling. The labeling problem is pervasive, but its solution in the IoT application context is different from other contexts. This book is not a survey of the state of the art. With thousands of publications appearing in AI every year, such a survey is doomed to be incomplete on arrival. It is also not a comprehensive coverage of all the problems in the space of Edge AI. Different applications pose different challenges, and a more comprehensive coverage should be more application specific. Instead, this book covers some of the more endemic challenges across the range of IoT/CPS applications. To offer coverage in some depth, we opt to cover mainly one or a few representative solutions for each of these endemic challenges in sufficient detail, rather that broadly touching on all relevant prior work. The underlying philosophy is one of illustrating by example. The solutions are curated to offer insight into a way of thinking that characterizes Edge AI research and distinguishes its solutions from their more mainstream counterparts.

Deep Learning on Edge Computing Devices Elsevier - Health Sciences Division

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Deep learning models deployed on Edge devices, such as mobile phones and IoT terminals, generally use Cloud computing, presenting a range of concerns around privacy, latency and power consumption. In turn, Edge computing enables inference operations, and even training progress, to be completed on embedded devices themselves, rather than in the Cloud. With on-device deep learning, reliability becomes independent of network availability or bandwidth, data processing becomes much faster, and the problems associated with the Cloud are eliminated. Deep Learning on Edge Computing Devices focuses on hardware architecture and embedded deep learning, including neural networks. The title helps researchers maximize the performance of Edge-deep learning models for mobile computing and other applications, by presenting neural network algorithms and hardware design optimization approaches for Edge-deep learning. Applications are introduced in each section, and a comprehensive example, smart surveillance cameras, is presented at the end of the book, integrating innovation in both algorithm and hardware architecture. This book presents a summary of technology around Edge-deep learning. Structured into three parts, the first introduces core concepts; the second presents theories and algorithms; and part three details architecture optimization. This book provides a solution for researchers looking to maximize the performance of deep learning models on Edge-computing devices, through algorithm-hardware co-design. Focuses on hardware architecture and embedded deep learning, including neural networks Brings together neural network algorithm and hardware design optimization approaches to deep learning, alongside real-world applications Considers how Edge computing solves privacy, latency, and power consumption concerns related to the use of the Cloud Describes how to maximize the performance of deep learning on Edge-computing devices Presents the latest research on neural network compression coding, deep learning algorithms, chip co-design, and intelligent monitoring

John von Neumann and the Origins of Modern Computing MIT Press Ltd

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

John von Neumann (1903-1957) was unquestionably one of the most brilliant scientists of the twentieth century. He made major contributions to quantum mechanics and mathematical physics and in 1943 began a new and all-too-short career in computer science. William Aspray provides the first broad and detailed account of von Neumann's many different contributions to computing. These, Aspray reveals, extended far beyond his well-known work in the design and construction of computer systems to include important scientific applications, the revival of numerical analysis, and the creation of a theory of computing.Aspray points out that from the beginning von Neumann took a wider and more theoretical view than other computer pioneers. In the now famous EDVAC report of 1945, von Neumann clearly stated the idea of a stored program that resides in the computer's memory along with the data it was to operate on. This stored program computer was described in terms of idealized neurons, highlighting the analogy between the digital computer and the human brain.Aspray describes von Neumann's development during the next decade, and almost entirely alone, of a theory of complicated information processing systems, or automata, and the introduction of themes such as learning, reliability of systems with unreliable components, self-replication, and the importance of memory and storage capacity in biological nervous systems; many of these themes remain at the heart of current investigations in parallel or neurocomputing.Aspray allows the record to speak for itself. He unravels an intricate sequence of stories generated by von Neumann's work and brings into focus the interplay of personalities centered about von Neumann. He documents the complex interactions of science, the military, and business and shows how progress in applied mathematics was intertwined with that in computers.William Aspray is Director of the Center for the History of Electrical Engineering at The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

Computing Exact Approximations of a Chaitin Omega Number VDM Verlag

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

In this monograph,the research aimed to compute §some exact bits of a Chaitin Omega number. A Chaitin §Omega numbers are halting probabilities of a specific§mathematical model of the ubiquitous PC called 'self-§delimiting Turing machine'. In 1936,Turing showed §that no mechanical procedure and therefore no formal §axiomatic theory can solve Turing's halting problem,§the question of whether a given computer program will§eventually halt. An Omega number combines all§instances of Turing's halting problem into a§paradoxical real number. Its binary digits or bits§are algorithmically random and cannot be§distinguished from the the result of independent toss§of a fair coin.§§ Omega has a simple mathematical definition,but it§does not enable us to determine more than finitely§many of its digits and no other definition can do it§better. Furthermore,as nobody before was able to§compute any exact bit of a natural Omega number,§the carrying on the computation is much more§demanding than solving Turing's halting problem.§We reviewed the properties of Omega numbers leading§to the computation of approximations to obtain§initial exact 64 bits of a Chaitin Omega number.
