Bocconi University Press Python for non-Pythonians: How to Win Over
Book SynopsisThe book uses a very simple and accessible language. All the descriptions of Python functionalities come with intuitive examples to make you learn by doing. This is not a theoretical book and does not cover some of the most internal features of Python. The intention of the authors is to allow business oriented people to start using Python. The main reason for such a choice of style is due to the increasing number of requests by non-technical professionals to solve daily problems and tasks. Whether we want to append multiple spreadsheets or profile the customer base, being able to use a solid infrastructure which enables to collect, check, process, analyze data, and report results has become a basic requirement in most industries. The structure of this book replicates the structure of a grammar book. It first introduces the building blocks of Python - i.e., objects - which can be compared to the different types of words (e.g., verbs, nouns) of a language. It introduces readers to the syntax rules of Python - i.e., statements, functions, and classes. It then provides introduces how to use this new language for managing data. One thing that we found particularly helpful for our students is to provide wrong Python codes with the error message that Python provides, and ask them to fix the code in order to make it work. As making mistakes is very common, we would say normal, in programming, learning how to interpret the error messages and fix codes is extremely important from a pedagogical perspective. The book always challenges students with a series of "fix the code" questions at the end of each a topic. We adopt this structure because we found that students learn how to successfully write algorithms in Python when they understand its logic and the meaning of every single element of the algorithm. We have experimented that this natural progression, from the most basic elements to very complex scripts, raises students' self-confidence and proficiency in writing their own algorithms. Hence, the structure of the textbook greatly helps students and instructors to gradually acquire the "programming" mindset. Also, our teaching experience indicates that, as with any other language, students learn by practicing. For this reason our textbook, is rich in exercises of increasing complexity.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Handbook Of Graph Grammars And Computing By Graph
Book SynopsisGraph grammars originated in the late 60s, motivated by considerations about pattern recognition and compiler construction. Since then the list of areas which have interacted with the development of graph grammars has grown quite impressively. Besides the aforementioned areas it includes software specification and development, VLSI layout schemes, database design, modeling of concurrent systems, massively parallel computer architectures, logic programming, computer animation, developmental biology, music composition, visual languages, and many others.The area of graph grammars and graph transformations generalizes formal language theory based on strings and the theory of term rewriting based on trees. As a matter of fact within the area of graph grammars, graph transformation is considered a fundamental programming paradigm where computation includes specification, programming, and implementation.Over the last 25-odd years graph grammars have developed at a steady pace into a theoretically attractive and well-motivated research field. In particular, they are now based on very solid foundations, which are presented in this volume. Volume 1 of the indispensable Handbook of Graph Grammars and Computing by Graph Transformations includes a state-of-the-art presentation of the foundations of all the basic approaches to rule-based graph specification and transformation: algebraic approach, logic approach, node-based rewriting, (hyper)edge-based rewriting, programmed graph rewriting, and 2-structures. The book has been written in a tutorial/survey style to enhance its usefulness.Table of ContentsNode replacement graph grammars, J. Engelfriet and G.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Generative Artificial Intelligence
Book SynopsisThis book explains the field of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), focusing on its potential and applications, and aims to provide you with an understanding of the underlying principles, techniques, and practical use cases of Generative AI models. The book begins with an introduction to the foundations of Generative AI, including an overview of the field, its evolution, and its significance in today's AI landscape. It focuses on generative visual models, exploring the exciting field of transforming text into images and videos. A chapter covering text-to-video generation provides insights into synthesizing videos from textual descriptions, opening up new possibilities for creative content generation. A chapter covers generative audio models and prompt-to-audio synthesis using Text-to-Speech (TTS) techniques. Then the book switch gears to dive into generative text models, exploring the concepts of Large Language Models (LLMs), natural language generation (NLG), fine-tuning, prompt tuning, and reinforcement learning. The book explores techniques for fixing LLMs and making them grounded and indestructible, along with practical applications in enterprise-grade applications such as question answering, summarization, and knowledge-based generation. By the end of this book, you will understand Generative text, and audio and visual models, and have the knowledge and tools necessary to harness the creative and transformative capabilities of Generative AI. What You Will LearnWhat is Generative Artificial Intelligence?What are text-to-image synthesis techniques and conditional image generation?What is prompt-to-audio synthesis using Text-to-Speech (TTS) techniques?What are text-to-video models and how do you tune them?What are large language models, and how do youtune them?Who This Book Is ForThose with intermediate to advanced technical knowledge in artificial intelligence and machine learning
