Computer programming / software engineering Books

Book SynopsisAs artificial intelligence (AI) processing moves from the cloud to the edge of the network, battery-powered and deeply embedded devices are challenged to perform AI functions such as computer vision and voice recognition. Microchip Technology Inc., via its Silicon Storage Technology (SST) subsidiary, is addressing this challenge by significantly reducing power with its analog memory technology, the memBrain Memory Solution. The memBrain solution is being adopted by today's companies looking to advance machine learning capacities in edge devices. Due to its ability to significantly reduce power, this analog in-memory computer solution is ideal for an AI application. Neuromorphic Computing Systems for Industry 4.0 covers the available literature in the field of neural computing-based microchip technology. It provides further research opportunities in this dynamic field. Covering topics such as emotion recognition, biometric authentication, and neural network protection, this premier reference source is an essential resource for technology developers, computer scientists, engineers, students and educators of higher education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.

Book SynopsisData structures are essential principles applicable to any programming language in computer science. Data structures may be studied more easily with Python than with any other programming language because of their interpretability, interactivity, and object-oriented nature. Computers may store and process data at an extraordinary rate and with outstanding accuracy. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance that the data is efficiently stored and is able to be accessed promptly. In addition, data processing should take as little time as feasible while maintaining the highest possible level of precision.Advanced Applications of Python Data Structures and Algorithms assists in understanding and applying the fundamentals of data structures and their many implementations and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of various data structures. Covering key topics such as Python, linked lists, datatypes, and operators, this reference work is ideal for industry professionals, computer scientists, researchers, academicians, scholars, practitioners, instructors, and students.
