Shaping the Frontier of Web Development. Delve into the dynamic world of TypeScript—a powerful superset of jаvascript, designed to enhance productivity, facilitate large-scale applications, and push web development boundaries. Whether you're a frontend enthusiast, a backend guru, or someone in-between, "Mastering TypeScript" stands as your comprehensive companion in this journey. TypeScript is an open-source programming language that was developed and is maintained by Microsoft. The primary objective of TypeScript is to extend the capabilities of jаvascript by adding static types. The significance of this can be best understood when we compare it to jаvascript, a dynamically typed language. jаvascript, since its inception, has been one of the most popular programming languages for web development. However, as applications grow larger and more complex, certain limitations inherent to jаvascript become apparent. jаvascript being a dynamically typed language means that variable types are checked at runtime, and this lack of type safety can lead to runtime errors that are hard to track down and debug. TypeScript addresses this challenge by introducing static types. Static types allow developers to annotate their code with type information, which is then used by the TypeScript compiler for type checking at compile-time rather than runtime. This early error detection helps developers catch and fix errors more efficiently, resulting in more robust, reliable code.

Game AI Uncovered: Volume One kicks off a brand-new series of books that focus on the development of artificial intelligence in video games. This volume brings together the collected wisdom, ideas, tricks, and cutting-edge techniques from 20 of the top game AI professionals and researchers from around the world. The techniques discussed in these pages cover the underlying development of a wide array of published titles, including Hood: Outlaws and Legends, The Escapists 2, Sackboy: A Big Adventure, Call of Duty: Strike Team, GTI+ Club, Split/Second, Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed, Luna Abyss, Medal of Honor Heroes I & II, Age of Empires IV, Watch Dogs, Battlefield 2042, Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville, Dead Space, and more. Contained within this volume are overviews and insight covering a host of different areas within game AI, including situational awareness, pathfinding, tethering, squad behaviours, coordination, auto-generating navigation link data, fluid movement, combining behaviour and animation systems, pedal control for cars, tactical positioning, level of detail, infinite axis utility systems, hierarchical state machines, bots for testing, reactive behaviour trees, and more. For me, Game Artificial Intelligence is by far the most interesting part of game development. That is not to disparage the great work that is done in graphics, physics, tools, audio, and all the other vital components required to make a game, but there is something special about bringing an agent to life. It is not only about the end result though, but also about how you get there. The smoke and mirrors that are used for a player to buy into the illusion and keep them there. Beginners to the area of game AI, along with professional developers, will find a wealth of knowledge that will not only help in the development of your own games but will also spark ideas for new approaches.

This book presents a set of lectures on Python programming for economics and finance. Substantial parts of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence are аbout: • approximating an unknown function with a known function; • estimating the known function from a set of data on the left- and right-hand variables. This lecture describes the structure of a plain vanilla Artificial Neural Network (ANN) of a type that is widely used to approximate a function f that maps x in a space X into y in a space Y. To introduce elementary concepts, we study an example in which x and y are scalars. We’ll describe the following concepts that are brick and mortar for neural networks: • a neuron; • an activation function; • a network of neurons; • A neural network as a composition of functions; • back-propagation and its relationship to the chain rule of differential calculus. We describe a “deep” neural network of “width” one. Deep means that the network composes a large number of functions organized into nodes of a graph. Width refers to the number of right hand side variables on the right hand side of the function being approximated. Setting “width” to one means that the network composes just univariate functions. Linear regression is a standard tool for analyzing the relationship between two or more variables. In this lecture, we’ll use the Python package statsmodels to estimate, interpret, and visualize linear regression models.

The intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT) and Edge Computing has kindled the edge AI revolution that promises to redefine how we perceive and interact with the physical world through intelligent devices. Edge AI moves intelligence from the network centre to the devices at its edge, entrusting these endpoints to analyse data locally, make decisions, and provide real-time responses. Recent advances in power-efficient high-performance embedded silicon make edge AI a viable proposition, albeit one requiring new distributed architectures and novel design concepts. Moving decision-making closer to the edge makes responses faster and systems more reliable, while the constant pressure to reduce network bandwidth demand and the need to contain spiralling data storage and operations costs help justify the engineering investment necessary to embrace this new paradigm. Further, moving to decentralised operation opens the door to a multitude of novel applications, covering immersive technologies and autonomous systems across fields as diverse as healthcare and industrial automation, personal assistance and prognostics, surgery, and process control. In the best tradition of systems engineering, the first stage of this transition process is understanding the application domain for edge AI deployment, the "system context". Federated Learning (FL) has emerged as a promising technique that enables privacy-preserving development of ML models on low-energy Edge devices. FL is a distributed approach that enables learning from data belonging to multiple participants, without compromising privacy since user data are never directly shared.

In order to reduce the complexity of designing and building computers, nearly all of these are made to execute relatively simple commands (but do so very quickly). A program for a computer must be built by combining these very simple commands into a program in what is called machine language. Since this is a tedious and error-prone process, most programming is done using a high-level programming language. This language can be very different from the machine language that the computer can execute, so some means of bridging the gap is required. This is where the compiler comes in. A compiler translates (or compiles) a program written in a high-level programming language that is suitable for human programmers into the low-level machine language that is required by computers. During this process, the compiler will also attempt to detect and report obvious programmer mistakes. Using a high-level language for programming has a large impact on how fast programs can be developed. The third edition of this textbook has been fully revised and adds material about the SSA form, polymorphism, garbage collection, and pattern matching. It presents techniques for making realistic compilers for simple to intermediate-complexity programming languages. The techniques presented in the book are close to those used in professional compilers, albeit in places slightly simplified for presentation purposes. "Further reading" sections point to material about the full versions of the techniques. All phases required for translating a high-level language to symbolic machine language are covered, and some techniques for optimising code are presented. The intermediate language is translated to assembly language (a textual representation of machine code) for a specific machine architecture. The assembly language code is translated into binary representation and addresses of variables, functions, etc., are determined.

This book presents a set of lectures on Python programming for economics and finance. The lecture describes important ideas in economics that use the mathematics of geometric series. Linear algebra is one of the most useful branches of applied mathematics for economists to invest in. For example, many applied problems in economics and finance require the solution of a linear system of equations. In this lecture we will cover the basics of linear and matrix algebra, treating both theory and computation. We admit some overlap with this lecture, where operations on NumPy arrays were first explained. Note that this lecture is more theoretical than most, and contains background material that will be used in applications as we go along. In an earlier lecture on Pandas, we looked at working with simple data sets. Econometricians often need to work with more complex data sets, such as panels. Common tasks include: - Importing data, cleaning it and reshaping it across several axes. - Selecting a time series or cross-section from a panel. - Grouping and summarizing data. Pandas (derived from ‘panel’ and ‘data’) contains powerful and easy-to-use tools for solving exactly these kinds of problems.

From facial recognition to self-driving cars, the applications of computer vision are vast and ever-expanding. Geometry plays a fundamental role in this discipline, providing the necessary mathematical framework to understand the underlying principles of how we perceive and interpret visual information in the world around us. This text explores the theories and computational techniques used to determine the geometric properties of solid objects through images. It covers the basic concepts and provides the necessary mathematical background for more advanced studies. The book is divided into clear and concise chapters covering a wide range of topics including image formation, camera models, feature detection and 3D reconstruction. Each chapter includes detailed explanations of the theory as well as practical examples to help the reader understand and apply the concepts presented. Deep Learning has brought undeniable successes and some breakthroughs in image recognition and scene description. It is nevertheless true that geometric Computer Vision remains a fundamental field. Given the impressive state-of-the-art and the rapid pace of progress in Deep Learning, it would be of course risky to rule out the possibility that the solution to many geometric vision problems, for instance reconstructing 3D structure from multiple images, can be learned from millions of examples. Yet we believe that a principled, approach that obtains the geometric structure of what we see through applied mathematics provides more insight. We would also go as far as suggesting that, in the end, such an approach can be even more fun to study and implement. The book has been written with the intention of being used as a primary resource for students on university courses in Computer Vision, particularly final year undergraduate or postgraduate Computer Science or engineering courses. To aid the reader in implementation, most of the methods discussed in the book are accompanied by a Matlab listing and the sources are available on Github.
