This textbook introduces the theoretical foundations of technologies essential for knowledge graphs. It also covers practical examples, applications and tools. Knowledge graphs are the most recent answer to the challenge of providing explicit knowledge about entities and their relationships by potentially integrating billions of facts from heterogeneous sources. The standard narrative about the recent history of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is that a combination of rapidly growing compute power and an immense increase in available data have caused a scaling explosion in AI that has led to the results in Machine Learning (ML) in the past decade. Indeed, this narrative is true, and the results of the ML explosion are clear for all to see, in the popular press, in scientific publications, and in real world applications, ranging from product recommendation to fraud detection and from chatbots to face recognition. What is rather less known to the general public, the popular press, and indeed in AI itself is that a similar scaling explosion has taken place in another area of AI. The main driver for this “other explosion” of size in AI has been the adoption of the knowledge graph model, combined with ontology languages that carefully balance expressivity against computational cost. Knowledge graphs now form the biggest knowledge bases ever built, and without a doubt, languages like RDF Schema and OWL are by far the most widely used knowledge representation languages in the history of AI. And these knowledge graphs have come of age. They are used in science, in public administration, in cultural heritage, in healthcare, and in a broad range of industries, ranging from manufacturing to financial services and from search engines to pharmaceuticals. This textbook is intended for graduate courses covering knowledge graphs. Besides students in knowledge graph, Semantic Web, database, or information retrieval classes, also advanced software developers for Web applications or tools for Web data management will learn about the foundations and appropriate methods.

For every exercise I did my best to connect the specific statistical concepts with R code, and every time I use linear algebra I connect it with a concrete R example. In this book you will not find something such as "this is left as an exercise to the reader". This book aims to get straight to the point, and the only thing I assume here is that you have used spreadsheets at some point and that you are motivated to estimate linear models in R. Here I do not assume that you know how to install R or the basics of the R programming language. This books contains no proofs. I tried to replace those with multiple examples consisting in analyzing my own experiments, such as throwing a tennis ball and measuring the time it takes to hit the ground from different heights, and another where I got two thermometers and measured the temperature outside a building at the same time of the day on different days.

MATLAB For Engineers starts at the beginning to introduce first-year engineering students to MATLAB. Starting with basic algebra, you'll learn how MATLAB can be used to solve a wide range of engineering problems. Examples taken from concepts presented in early chemistry, physics, and first- and second-year engineering classes are included. When the text covers new subjects, like statistics and matrix algebra, brief background information is used to support your success. As you work through hands-on examples and exercises, you'll learn to apply a consistent problem-solving methodology to help you reach a solution. The 6th Edition reflects the MATLAB software release R2021B. Updated screenshots, new data, new problems and discussions offer a current view of the coding language and platform you'll use in your classes and career. MATLAB is a “multiparadigm” programming language, which means it can be used in several different ways to perform programming tasks. Those tasks can range from something as simple as balancing your checkbook to complex engineering modeling applications. MATLAB is a versatile language, but it can’t do everything. It is a large application program designed to optimize mathematical calculations; number-crunching is where it shines. You wouldn’t want to use it to write a word-processing program, for example. If you wanted to write an operating system or design software, C ++, Java, or some other higher-level language would be a better choice. In fact, MATLAB was originally written in Fortran and then later rewritten in C.

If you're developing or considering cloud application architectures for your company's projects, this practical guide is an ideal place to learn and understand best practices for developing in the cloud. Architects and lead developers will learn how cloud applications should be designed, how they fit into a larger architectural picture, and how to make them operate efficiently. Authors Kyle Brown, Bobby Woolf, and Joe Yoder take you through the process step by step. Because this book focuses on designing applications to be deployed on the cloud, we do assume a fundamental set of technologies that have become a de facto standard stack that applications make use of to take advantage of cloud computing: • Linux - Cloud computing’s operating system developed by an open community and freely available; • Containerization - Packaging an application with the environment it needs to run in the Linux kernel; • Container orchestration - Grid computing that autonomically manages large numbers of containers; • Cloud-native application - An application architecture that separates stateless business logic from stateful middleware functionality accessed as backend services. These technologies and ones like them are assumed in this book. This book is for application architects and developers who want to learn best practices about how to design applications for the cloud. Architects who want their applications to run well in the cloud need to know these best practices and employ them. These practices apply to any application that will run in the cloud. We assume most developers are writing business applications for commercial enterprises — let’s face it, that’s where the money is — but these techniques apply equally well to other fields like research and science, government, non-profits - any field where users have requirements for what an application should do and the organization wants to deploy their applications on the cloud.
