This book covers the essential theory and implementation of popular Bayesian optimization techniques in an intuitive and well-illustrated manner. The techniques covered in this book will enable you to better tune the hyperparemeters of your machine learning models and learn sample-efficient approaches to global optimization. The book begins by introducing different Bayesian Optimization (BO) techniques, covering both commonly used tools and advanced topics. It follows a “develop from scratch” method using Python, and gradually builds up to more advanced libraries such as BoTorch, an open-source project introduced by Facebook recently. Along the way, you’ll see practical implementations of this important discipline along with thorough coverage and straightforward explanations of essential theories. This book intends to bridge the gap between researchers and practitioners, providing both with a comprehensive, easy-to-digest, and useful reference guide. After completing this book, you will have a firm grasp of Bayesian optimization techniques, which you’ll be able to put into practice in your own Machine Learning models.

The text discusses the latest data-driven, physics-based, and hybrid approaches employed in each stage of industrial prognostics and reliability estimation. It will be a useful text for senior undergraduate, graduate students, and academic researchers in areas such as industrial and production engineering, electrical engineering, and Computer Science. The book The text deals with tools and techniques used to predict/ extrapolate/ forecast the process behavior, based on current health state assessment and future operating conditions with the help of Machine Learning (ML). It will serve as a useful reference text for senior undergraduate, graduate students, and academic researchers in areas such as industrial and production engineering, manufacturing science, electrical engineering, and Computer Science. Deep Learning (DL) is a subset of ML that involves a multi-layered artificial neural network (ANN). The working of ANN is inspired by how the nervous system of the human brain functions. A basic ANN consists of input, output, and hidden layers. Each layer consists of neurons, which resemble brain cells. A mathematical representation of the biological neuron is termed as “perceptron,” and thus, multi-layered neural network is also referred to as multi-layer perceptron (MLP) model.

An advanced book for researchers and graduate students working in Machine Learning and statistics who want to learn about Deep Learning, Bayesian inference, generative models, and decision making under uncertainty. An advanced counterpart to Probabilistic Machine Learning: An Introduction, this high-level textbook provides researchers and graduate students detailed coverage of cutting-edge topics in Machine Learning, including deep generative modeling, graphical models, Bayesian inference, reinforcement learning, and causality. This volume puts Deep Learning into a larger statistical context and unifies approaches based on Deep Learning with ones based on probabilistic modeling and inference. We assume the reader has some prior exposure to ML and other relevant mathematical topics (e.g., probability, statistics, linear algebra, optimization). Python code (mostly in JAX) to reproduce nearly all of the figures can be found online. Clicking on the notebook link will open it inside Google Colab, which will let you easily reproduce the figure for yourself, and modify the underlying source code to gain a deeper understanding of the methods. (Colab gives you access to a free GPU, which is useful for some of the more computationally heavy demos.) In addition to the online code, probml.github.io/supp contains some additional supplementary online content which was excluded from the main book for space reasons.

Computer Arithmetic in Practice: Exercises and Programming is a simple, brief introductory volume for undergraduate and graduate students at university courses interested in understanding the foundation of computers. It is focused on numeric data formats and capabilities of computers to perform basic arithmetic operations. This book provides an accessible overview of common data formats used to write numbers in programming languages and how the computer performs four basic arithmetic operations from the point of view of the processor instruction set. The book is primarily didactic in nature, therefore the theoretical information is enriched with many numerical examples and exercises to be solved using a ‘sheet of paper and a pencil’. Answers are provided for most of the tasks. The theoretical discussed issues are illustrated by listings of algorithms presenting the way to implement arithmetic operations in low-level language. It allows development of the skills of optimal programming, taking into consideration the computer architecture and limitations. The assembly language is a low-level programming language but assembler is a software responsible just for translating source code directly to the machine code or sometimes indirectly to the object code aimed to reuse in another program.
