Creativity and Cultural Policy
No full textCreativity has become a popular buzzword in contemporary cultural policy, yet the term remains poorly understood. In this collection, cultural policy specialists together with experts on psychology, creative enterprise and arts education, consider how ‘creativity’ is defined in a variety of settings, from ‘creative management’ to ‘creative labour’.
The starting point of the book is to move beyond the notion that creativity is simply a product of extraordinary individuals and extraordinary thinking. In reality creativity draws together apparently contradictory thinking styl
Machine Learning Using TensorFlow Cookbook: Over 60 recipes on machine learning using deep learning solutions from Kaggle Masters and Google Developer Experts
No full textThe independent recipes in Machine Learning Using TensorFlow Cookbook will teach you how to perform complex data computations and gain valuable insights into your data. You will work through recipes on training models, model evaluation, sentiment analysis, regression analysis, artificial neural networks, and deep learning - each using Google’s machine learning library, TensorFlow.
This cookbook begins by introducing you to the fundamentals of the TensorFlow library, including variables, matrices, and various data sources. You’ll then take a deep dive into some real-world implementations of Keras and TensorFlow and learn how to use estimators to train linear models and boosted trees, both for classification and for regression to provide a baseline for tabular data problems.
As you progress, you’ll explore the practical applications of a variety of deep learning architectures, such as recurrent neural networks and Transformers, and see how they can be applied to computer vision and natural language processing (NLP) problems. Once you are familiar with the TensorFlow ecosystem, the final chapter will teach you how to take a project to production.
By the end of this machine learning book, you will be proficient in using TensorFlow 2. You’ll also understand deep learning from the fundamentals and be able to implement machine learning algorithms in real-world scenarios

Broadband Array Processing
No full textThis book describes the background and technology of array signal modeling. It presents the concept and formulation of beamformers and discusses several commonly used array performance measures. It also introduces two traditional types of beamformers: delay-and-sum and optimum beamformers.
Chapter 1 includes background information on array processing, while Chapters 2 and 3 discuss the DFT-based frequency-domain implementation of a broadband beamformer and the design of subband beamformers for frequency-domain broadband beamformers. Chapter 4 presents the FIR-based, time-domain implementation of the broadband beamformer, where the FIR beamformer is designed by separately designing the subband beamformers and the corresponding FIR filters. The techniques for optimal design of the FIR beamformer are developed in Chapter 5, and Chapters 6 and 7 focus on the modal beamforming problem for circular arrays for the frequency-domain modal beamformer and the time-domain modal beamformer. Lastly, the final chapters present frequency-domain and time-domain modal beamformers for spherical arrays

Domain Specific High-Level Synthesis for Cryptographic Workloads
No full textThis book offers an in-depth study of the design and challenges addressed by a high-level synthesis tool targeting a specific class of cryptographic kernels, i.e. symmetric key cryptography. With the aid of detailed case studies, it also discusses optimization strategies that cannot be automatically undertaken by CRYKET (Cryptographic kernels toolkit. The dynamic nature of cryptography, where newer cryptographic functions and attacks frequently surface, means that such a tool can help cryptographers expedite the very large scale integration (VLSI) design cycle by rapidly exploring various design alternatives before reaching an optimal design option. Features include flexibility in cryptographic processors to support emerging cryptanalytic schemes; area-efficient multinational designs supporting various cryptographic functions; and design scalability on modern graphics processing units (GPUs). These case studies serve as a guide to cryptographers exploring the design of efficient cryptographic implementations
