Diagnostics in Ocular Imaging: Cornea, Retina, Glaucoma and Orbit
by Mehrdad MohammadpourThis book presents a new avenue in the field of ophthalmology and sheds light on the field of eye imaging. With the increasing availability of electronic devices and their important role in both personal and professional aspects of human life, there is a growing need for perfect vision. Ophthalmic imaging is a major tool for screening and documenting eye diseases in both medical and surgical fields of ophthalmology and is also of use for ophthalmologists around the globe. The number of eye-imaging devices has increased dramatically, however undiagnosed or poorly managed eye diseases remain a significant cause of ocular and visual problems worldwide. This essential guide addresses the need for a book that is dedicated to ophthalmic imaging, covering the cornea, glaucoma, retina and orbital imaging with updates on medical and surgical aspects of the topic.
Diagnostics of Mechatronic Systems (Studies in Systems, Decision and Control #345)
by Tibor Krenický Pavol Božek Yury NikitinThis book provides novel approach to the diagnosis of complex technical systems that are widely used in various kinds of transportation, energy, metallurgy, metalworking, fuels, mining, chemical, paper industries, etc.Effective diagnostic systems are necessary for the early detection of errors in mechatronic systems, for the organization of maintenance and for the assessment of the performed service quality. Unfortunately, the practical use of AI in the diagnosis of mechatronic systems is still quite limited and the inability to build effective mechatronic systems leads to significant economic losses and dangers. The main aim of this book is to contribute to knowledge within the topic of diagnostics of mechatronic systems by the analysis of the elements reliability characteristics, using methods, models and algorithms for diagnostics and by studying examples of model diagnostic systems using AI methods based on neural networks, fuzzy inference systems and genetic algorithms.
Diagrammatic Representation and Inference
by Mateja Jamnik Yuri Uesaka Stephanie Elzer SchwartzThe 6th International Conference on the Theory and Application of Diagrams - Diagrams 2010 - was held in Portland, USA in August 2010. Diagrams is an international and interdisciplinary conference series, which continues to present the very best work in all aspects of research on the theory and application of diagrams. Some key questions that researchers are tackling concern gaining an insight into how diagrams are used, how they are rep- sented, which types are available and when it is appropriate to use them. The use of diagrammatic notations is studied for a variety of purposes including communication, cognition, creative thought, computation and problem-solving. Clearly, this must be pursued as an interdisciplinary endeavor, and Diagrams is the only conference series that provides such a united forum for all areas that are concerned with the study of diagrams: for example, architecture, arti?cial intelligence,cartography,cognitivescience,computer science,education,graphic design, history of science, human-computer interaction, linguistics, logic, ma- ematics, philosophy, psychology, and software modelling. The articles in this volume re?ect this variety and interdisciplinarity of the ?eld.

Dialect Accent Features for Establishing Speaker Identity
by Manisha Kulshreshtha Ramkumar MathurDialect Accent Features for Establishing Speaker Identity: A Case Study discusses the subject of forensic voice identification and speaker profiling. Specifically focusing on speaker profiling and using dialects of the Hindi language, widely used in India, the authors have contributed to the body of research on speaker identification by using accent feature as the discriminating factor. This case study contributes to the understanding of the speaker identification process in a situation where unknown speech samples are in different language/dialect than the recording of a suspect. The authors' data establishes that vowel quality, quantity, intonation and tone of a speaker as compared to Khariboli (standard Hindi) could be the potential features for identification of dialect accent.
Dialog Systems: A Perspective from Language, Logic and Computation (Logic, Argumentation & Reasoning #22)
by Teresa Lopez-SotoThis book focuses on dialog from a varied combination of fields: Linguistics, Philosophy of Language and Computation. It builds on the hypothesis that meaning in human communication arises at the discourse level rather than at the word level. The book offers a complex analytical framework and integration of the central areas of research around human communication. The content revolves around meaning but it also gives evidence of the connection among different points of view. Besides discussing issues of general interest to the field, the book triggers theoretical argumentation that is currently under scientific discussion. It examines such topics as immanent reasoning joined with Recanati's lekta and free enrichment, challenges of internet conversation, inner dialogs, cognition and language, and the relation between assertion and denial. It proposes a dialogical framework for intra-negotiation and gives a geolinguistic perspective on spoken discourse. Finally, it examines dialog and abduction and sheds light on a generation of dialog contexts by means of multimodal logic applied to speech acts.

by Armin SieberTechnologien wie künstliche Intelligenz und Natural Language Programming werden zu Auslösern der sogenannten „Dialogwende“. Darunter versteht dieses Buch die massenweise Verbreitung von autonom sprechenden Sprachdialogsystemen und automatischen Sprachassistenten. Der Autor geht der Frage nach, welche Technologien bereits zur Verfügung stehen oder bald zur Serienreife kommen. Er analysiert konkrete Verwendungen und Einsatzfelder von Bots und stellt sich die Frage, was bei der Planung und Konzeption bedacht werden muss, welche Veränderungen in Medien und Unternehmenskommunikation zu erwarten sind. Das Buch beleuchtet darüber hinaus auch die psychosozialen Folgen, die auf unsere Gesellschaft zukommen, wenn Sprachdialogsysteme in großer Zahl zum Einsatz kommen.
Dialogues
by Stanislaw LemThe first English translation of a nonfiction work by Stanisław Lem, which was "conceived under the spell of cybernetics" in 1957 and updated in 1971.In 1957, Stanisław Lem published Dialogues, a book "conceived under the spell of cybernetics," as he wrote in the preface to the second edition. Mimicking the form of Berkeley's Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous, Lem's original dialogue was an attempt to unravel the then-novel field of cybernetics. It was a testimony, Lem wrote later, to "the almost limitless cognitive optimism" he felt upon his discovery of cybernetics. This is the first English translation of Lem's Dialogues, including the text of the first edition and the later essays added to the second edition in 1971. For the second edition, Lem chose not to revise the original. Recognizing the naivete of his hopes for cybernetics, he constructed a supplement to the first dialogue, which consists of two critical essays, the first a summary of the evolution of cybernetics, the second a contribution to the cybernetic theory of the "sociopathology of governing," amending the first edition's discussion of the pathology of social regulation; and two previously published articles on related topics. From the vantage point of 1971, Lem observes that original book, begun as a search for methods "that would increase our understanding of both the human and nonhuman worlds," was in the end "an expression of the cognitive curiosity and anxiety of modern thought."

Dictionary Learning Algorithms and Applications
by Bogdan Dumitrescu Paul IroftiThis book covers all the relevant dictionary learning algorithms, presenting them in full detail and showing their distinct characteristics while also revealing the similarities. It gives implementation tricks that are often ignored but that are crucial for a successful program. Besides MOD, K-SVD, and other standard algorithms, it provides the significant dictionary learning problem variations, such as regularization, incoherence enforcing, finding an economical size, or learning adapted to specific problems like classification. Several types of dictionary structures are treated, including shift invariant; orthogonal blocks or factored dictionaries; and separable dictionaries for multidimensional signals. Nonlinear extensions such as kernel dictionary learning can also be found in the book. The discussion of all these dictionary types and algorithms is enriched with a thorough numerical comparison on several classic problems, thus showing the strengths and weaknesses of each algorithm. A few selected applications, related to classification, denoising and compression, complete the view on the capabilities of the presented dictionary learning algorithms. The book is accompanied by code for all algorithms and for reproducing most tables and figures.Presents all relevant dictionary learning algorithms - for the standard problem and its main variations - in detail and ready for implementation;Covers all dictionary structures that are meaningful in applications;Examines the numerical properties of the algorithms and shows how to choose the appropriate dictionary learning algorithm.

Didactics of Smart Pedagogy: Smart Pedagogy for Technology Enhanced Learning
by Linda DanielaThe focus on smart education has become a new trend in the global educational field. Some countries have already developed smart education systems and there is increasing pressure coming from business and tech communities to continue this development. Simultaneously, there are only fragmented studies on the didactic aspects of technology usage. Thus, pedagogy as a science must engage in a new research direction—smart pedagogy. This book seeks to engage in a new research direction, that of smart pedagogy. It launches discussions on how to use all sorts of smart education solutions in the context of existing learning theories and on how to apply innovative solutions in order to reduce the marginalization of groups in educational contexts. It also explores transformations of pedagogical science, the role of the educator, applicable teaching methods, learning outcomes, and research and assessment of acquired knowledge in an effort to make the smart education process meaningful to a wide audience of international educators, researchers, and administrators working within and tangential to TEL.

Tendenzen gehen sogar dahin, dass die klassische Teilung zwischen Arbeitszeit und Freizeit nicht mehr gelingen wird. Eine neue Zeit – die sogenannte „Lebenszeit“ – beginnt. Laut Bundesregierung werden in den nächsten Jahren viele Berufe einen tiefgreifenden Wandel erleben und in ihrer derzeitigen Form nicht mehr existieren. Im Gegenzug wird es neue Berufe geben, von denen wir heute noch nicht wissen, wie diese aussehen oder welche Tätigkeiten diese beinhalten werden. Betriebsökonomen schildern mögliche Szenarien, dass eine stetig steigende Anzahl an Arbeitsplätzen durch Digitalisierung und Robotisierung gefährdet sind. Die Reihe „Fit for future“ beschäftigt sich eingehend mit dieser Thematik und bringt zum Ausdruck, wie wichtig es ist, sich diesen neuen Rahmenbedingungen am Markt anzupassen, flexibel zu sein, seine Kompetenzen zu stärken und „Fit for future“ zu werden. Der Initiator der Buchreihe Peter Buchenau lädt hierzu namhafte Experten ein, ihren Erfahrungsschatz auf Papier zu bringen und zu schildern, welche Kompetenzen es brauchen wird, um auch künftig erfolgreich am Markt zu agieren. Ein Buch von der Praxis für die Praxis, von Profis für Profis. Leser und Leserinnen erhalten „einen Blick in die Zukunft“ und die Möglichkeit, ihre berufliche Entwicklung rechtzeitig mitzugestalten.
