Название: Modeling Visual Aesthetics, Emotion, and Artistic Style Автор: James Z. Wang, Reginald B. Adams, Jr. Издательство: Springer Год: 2024 Страниц: 408 Язык: английский Формат: pdf (true), epub Размер: 42.7 MB
Modeling Visual Aesthetics, Emotion, and Artistic Style offers a comprehensive exploration of the increasingly significant topic of the complex interplay between human perception and digital technology. It embodies the cumulative knowledge and efforts of a wide array of active researchers and practitioners from diverse fields including Computer Vision, affective computing, robotics, psychology, data mining, Machine Learning, art history, and movement analysis. This volume seeks to address the profound and challenging research questions related to the computational modeling and analysis of visual aesthetics, emotions, and artistic style, vital components of the human experience that are increasingly relevant in our digitally connected world. The book's vast scope encompasses a broad range of topics. The initial chapters lay a strong foundation with background knowledge on emotion models and Machine Learning, which then transitions into exploring social visual perception in humans and its technological applications. Readers will uncover the psychological and neurological foundations of social and emotional perception from faces and bodies. Subsequent sections broaden this understanding to include technology's role in detecting discrete and subtle emotional expressions, examining facial neutrality, and including research contexts that involve children as well as adults. Furthermore, the book illuminates the dynamic intersection of art and technology, the language of photography, the relationship between breath-driven robotic performances and human dance, and the application of Machine Learning in analyzing artistic styles.
Today, it’s easier for threat actors to simply log in versus hack in. As cyberattacks continue to increase in volume and sophistication, it’s not a matter of if, but when, your organization will have an incident. Threat actors target accounts, users, and their associated identities―whether human or machine, to initiate or progress their attack. Detecting and defending against these malicious activities should be the basis of all modern cybersecurity initiatives. This book details the risks associated with poor identity security hygiene, the techniques that external and internal threat actors leverage, and the operational best practices that organizations should adopt to protect against identity theft, account compromises, and to develop an effective identity and access security strategy. As a solution to these challenges, Identity Security has emerged as a cornerstone of modern Identity and Access Management (IAM) initiatives. Managing accounts, credentials, roles, entitlements, certifications, and attestation reporting for all identities is now a security and regulatory compliance requirement. In this book, you will discover how inadequate identity and privileged access controls can be exploited to compromise accounts and credentials within an organization. You will understand the modern identity threat landscape and learn how role-based identity assignments, entitlements, and auditing strategies can be used to mitigate the threats across an organization’s entire Identity Fabric.

Название: Foundations of Vector Retrieval Автор: Sebastian Bruch Издательство: Springer Год: 2024 Страниц: 196 Язык: английский Формат: pdf (true) Размер: 10.1 MB
This book presents the fundamentals of vector retrieval. To this end, it delves into important data structures and algorithms that have been successfully used to solve the vector retrieval problem efficiently and effectively. We are witness to a few years of remarkable developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) with the use of advanced machine learning algorithms, and in particular, Deep Learning. Gargantuan, complex neural networks that can learn through self-supervision—and quickly so with the aid of specialized hardware—transformed the research landscape so dramatically that, overnight it seems, many fields experienced not the usual, incremental progress, but rather a leap forward. Machine translation, natural language understanding, information retrieval, recommender systems, and Computer Vision are but a few examples of research areas that have had to grapple with the shock. Countless other disciplines beyond Computer Science such as robotics, biology, and chemistry too have benefited from Deep Learning. These neural networks and their training algorithms may be complex, and the scope of their impact broad and wide, but nonetheless they are simply functions in a high-dimensional space. A trained neural network takes a vector as input, crunches and transforms it in various ways, and produces another vector, often in some other space.
