Taylor & Francis Lean IT
Book SynopsisWinner of a Shingo Research and Professional Publication AwardInformation Technology is supposed to enable business performance and innovation, improve service levels, manage change, and maintain quality and stability, all while steadily reducing operating costs. Yet when an enterprise begins a Lean transformation, too often the IT department is either left out or viewed as an obstacle. What is to be done? Winner of a 2011 Shingo Research and Professional Publication Award, this book shares practical tips, examples, and case studies to help you establish a culture of continuous improvement to deliver IT operational excellence and business value to your organization. Praise for:...will have a permanent place in my bookshelf.âGene Kim, Chief Technology Officer, Tripwire, Inc.... provides an unprecedented look at the role that Lean IT will play in making this revolutionary shift and the critical steps for sustained succeTrade ReviewThis book will have a permanent place in my bookshelf. In my ten-year study of high performing IT organizations, I’ve found that businesses rely on IT far more than they think. The impacts of poor flow from application development into IT operations can be devastating: ever increasing cycle times and amounts of rework, and an ever increasing amount of heroics required in IT operations to preserve the illusion of stability and reliability.—Gene Kim, Chief Technology Officer, Tripwire, Inc.; co-author of The Visible Ops Handbook and Visible Ops Security There has never been a more critical time to improve how IT integrates with the global business enterprise.

Twenty years from now the firms which dominate their industries will have fully embraced lean strategies throughout their IT organizations.

Will your organization be one of them?—Scott W.

Taylor & Francis Inc Machine Learning
Book SynopsisA Proven, Hands-On Approach for Students without a Strong Statistical FoundationSince the best-selling first edition was published, there have been several prominent developments in the field of machine learning, including the increasing work on the statistical interpretations of machine learning algorithms. Unfortunately, computer science students without a strong statistical background often find it hard to get started in this area. Remedying this deficiency, Machine Learning: An Algorithmic Perspective, Second Edition helps students understand the algorithms of machine learning. It puts them on a path toward mastering the relevant mathematics and statistics as well as the necessary programming and experimentation.New to the Second Edition Two new chapters on deep belief networks and Gaussian processes Reorganization of the chapters to make a more natural flow of content Revision of the Trade Review"I thought the first edition was hands down, one of the best texts covering applied machine learning from a Python perspective. I still consider this to be the case. The text, already extremely broad in scope, has been expanded to cover some very relevant modern topics … I highly recommend this text to anyone who wants to learn machine learning … I particularly recommend it to those students who have followed along from more of a statistical learning perspective (Ng, Hastie, Tibshirani) and are looking to broaden their knowledge of applications. The updated text is very timely, covering topics that are very popular right now and have little coverage in existing texts in this area."—Intelligent Trading Tech blog, April 2015 "The book's emphasis on algorithms distinguishes it from other books on machine learning (ML). This is further highlighted by the extensive use of Python code to implement the algorithms. ... The topics chosen do reflect the current research areas in ML, and the book can be recommended to those wishing to gain an understanding of the current state of the field."—J. P. E. Hodgson, Computing Reviews, March 27, 2015 "I have been using this textbook for an undergraduate machine learning class for several years. Some of the best features of this book are the inclusion of Python code in the text (not just on a website), explanation of what the code does, and, in some cases, partial numerical run-throughs of the code. This helps students understand the algorithms better than high-level descriptions and equations alone and eliminates many sources of ambiguity and misunderstanding."—Daniel Kifer "This book will equip and engage students with its well-organised and -presented material. In each chapter, they will find thorough explanations, figures illustrating the discussed concepts and techniques, lots of programming (Python) and worked examples, practice questions, further readings, and a support website. The book will also be useful to professionals who can quickly inform and refresh their memory and knowledge of how machine learning works and what are the fundamental approaches and methods used in this area. As a whole, it provides an essential source for machine learning methodologies and techniques, how they work, and what are their application areas."—Ivan Jordanov, University of Portsmouth, UK Praise for the First Edition:"… liberally illustrated with many programming examples, using Python. It includes a basic primer on Python and has an accompanying website. It has excellent breadth and is comprehensive in terms of the topics it covers, both in terms of methods and in terms of concepts and theory. … I think the author has succeeded in his aim: the book provides an accessible introduction to machine learning. It would be excellent as a first exposure to the subject, and would put the various ideas in context …"—David J. Hand, International Statistical Review (2010), 78 "If you are interested in learning enough AI to understand the sort of new techniques being introduced into Web 2 applications, then this is a good place to start. … it covers the subject matter of many an introductory course on AI and it has references to the source material and further reading but it is written in a fairly casual style. Overall it works and much of the mathematics is explained in ways that make it fairly clear what is going on … . This is a suitable introduction to AI if you are studying the subject on your own and it would make a good course text for an introduction and overview of AI."—I-Programmer, November 2009 Table of ContentsIntroduction.

The drawings start with the floor plans and develop all the way to photo-realistic renderings similar to the one on the cover of this book. Along the way the buildingâs structure, ductwork, plumbing and electrical (power and lighting) are modeled. By the end, you will have a thorough knowledge of many of the Revit basics needed to be productive in a classroom or office environment. Even if you will only be working with one component of Revit in your chosen profession, this book will give you important knowledge on how the other disciplines will be doing their work and valuable insight into the overall process.The first four chapters cover many of the Revit basics needed to successfully and efficiently work with the software. Once the fundamentals are covered, the remaining chapters walk you through a building project which is started from scratch so nothing is taken for granted by you or the author.About Bonus MaterialEach book comes with access to the following: Extensive video instruction shows you how to use all the major tools in Autodesk Revit. Bonus chapters include an introduction to Revit Families, Rooms and Spaces, Lighting Design, Autodesk Showcase and much more.
