Automated facial recognition systems compare two or more images of faces to determine whether they represent the same individual. Facial recognition technology (FRT) falls within the larger categories of biometric technology used to varying degrees by the government and private entities to identify persons. This book deals with some of the issues concerning facial recognition technology. Biometric technology uses automated processes to identify an individual through unique physical characteristics, such a fingerprints, speech patterns, or facial features. FRT can perform several functions, with the most common being face identification - the comparison of an unknown person’s face against a gallery of known persons - and face verification—confirmation of someone’s claimed identity. When an image of an unknown person is compared to a database, the technology may determine that an image in the database is sufficiently similar to register as a likely match.

An engaging introduction to Data Science that emphasizes critical thinking over statistical techniques. An introduction to Data Science or statistics shouldn’t involve proving complex theorems or memorizing obscure terms and formulas, but that is exactly what most introductory quantitative textbooks emphasize. In contrast, Thinking Clearly with Data focuses, first and foremost, on critical thinking and conceptual understanding in order to teach students how to be better consumers and analysts of the kinds of quantitative information and arguments that they will encounter throughout their lives.

Introduction to Time Series Using Stata, Revised Edition provides a step-by-step guide to essential time-series techniques–from the incredibly simple to the quite complex– and, at the same time, demonstrates how these techniques can be applied in the Stata statistical package. The emphasis is on an understanding of the intuition underlying theoretical innovations and an ability to apply them. Real-world examples illustrate the application of each concept as it is introduced, and care is taken to highlight the pitfalls, as well as the power, of each new tool. The Revised Edition has been updated for Stata 16.

The distributed setting of RDF stores in the cloud poses many challenges, including how to optimize data placement on the compute nodes to improve query performance. In this book, a novel benchmarking methodology is developed for data placement strategies; one that overcomes these limitations by using a data-placement-strategy-independent distributed RDF store to analyze the effect of the data placement strategies on query performance. Frequently used data placement strategies have been evaluated, and this evaluation challenges the commonly held belief that data placement strategies which emphasize local computation lead to faster query executions. Indeed, results indicate that queries with a high workload can be executed faster on hash-based data placement strategies than on, for example, minimal edge-cut covers. The analysis of additional measurements indicates that vertical parallelization (i.e., a well-distributed workload) may be more important than horizontal containment (i.e., minimal data transport) for efficient query processing. Two such data placement strategies are proposed: the first, found in the literature, is entitled overpartitioned minimal edge-cut cover, and the second is the newly developed molecule hash cover.

Causal inference lies at the heart of our ability to understand why things happen by helping us predict the result of any action. This process is vital for businesses that aspire to turn data and information into valuable knowledge. With this report, data scientists and analysts will learn a principled way of thinking about causality using a suite of causal inference techniques now available. Authors Hugo Bowne-Anderson, a data science consultant, and Mike Loukides, vice president of content strategy at O'Reilly Media, introduce causality and discuss randomized control trials (RCTs), key aspects of causal graph theory, and well-needed techniques from econometrics.
