The application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been greatly developed in many scientific sectors the last years, with the development of new AI-based algorithms and optimization techniques. Swarm intelligence and evolutionary computation are generally utilized as advanced methods to solve several kinds of computational optimization problems especially when there is only a small amount of relevant information. Swarm intelligence was inspired by studying the swarm behavior of animals in nature. The social intelligence of natural swarm behavior was suitably transformed to develop computational optimization algorithms. Swarm optimization algorithms have a stochastic nature where the swarm individuals are traversing a predefined search space while the swarm algorithm evaluates the individual and the global best fitness function values in every step so as to estimate the next positions of the individuals in the space depending also on predefined hyperparameters and conditions. The aim of the book is to present and discuss several state-of-theart swarm intelligence and evolutionary algorithms together with their variances and also several illustrative applications on Machine Learning and Deep Learning.

As an aspiring data scientist, you appreciate why organizations rely on data for important decisions--whether it's for companies designing websites, cities deciding how to improve services, or scientists discovering how to stop the spread of disease. And you want the skills required to distill a messy pile of data into actionable insights. We call this the data science lifecycle: the process of collecting, wrangling, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. Learning Data Science is the first book to cover foundational skills in both programming and statistics that encompass this entire lifecycle. It's aimed at those who wish to become data scientists or who already work with data scientists, and at data analysts who wish to cross the "technical/nontechnical" divide. If you have a basic knowledge of Python programming, you'll learn how to work with data using industry-standard tools like Pandas.

gRPC is a high-performance messaging protocol that’s extraordinarily well-suited for microservices applications. Learn how to build fast and secure gRPC-based microservices using the powerful Go programming language. Go language is a good candidate to build high-performance Cloud-Native distributed applications like Microservices in Kubernetes at a big scale. Microservices with gRPC communication has already enabled lots of companies to implement their products with small services based on their business capabilities, and let those services communicate with each other and with public world smoothly. With the help of Go, the distribution of those services becomes easier due to its fast compilation, being able to generate executable binaries, and many other reasons that we will see in detail with real-life examples in upcoming chapters. Microservice architecture is another form of service-oriented architecture that defines applications as loosely coupled, fine-grained services that can be implemented, deployed, and scaled independently. The main goal of this book is to provide production-grade best practices for gRPC Microservices in a way that by the end of this book, you will have the self-confidence to implement the entire system on your own.

Learn the tricks of simple procedural generation and how various genres, such as racing simulators, platformers, and roguelikes, can all benefit from these techniques. In this book, you'll learn how to combine hand-crafted content with algorithms to create immersive and beautiful environments. You'll learn how to create a seeding system, so that you can replay great levels with your friends. We'll cover how to create good tilesets, how to use the tilemap editor effectively, and how to inject just the right amount of logic into an otherwise automated machine that is your own personal procedural content generation engine. I mostly follow popular GDScript syntax conventions. Feel free to deviate from these as you like; but be careful to update the code where you’ve chosen different node, script, class, or file names.

Adopting microservices means changing the way you think about the whole development process—from requirements to rollout. This book will show you the happy path. The Tao of Microservices was an instant classic, guiding thousands of developers at a time when microservices designs were still a bold new idea. This updated second edition is revised for a world where microservices are the de facto standard for enterprise development. This insightful guide helps engineers, architects, and technical leaders understand the principles of microservices that can be used with any project or stack. As you read, you’ll discover experience-based wisdom for making sensible tradeoffs and avoiding common pitfalls. For the code examples I use jаvascript, because that is what most people will be able to read. The ideas in this book work in any language. For the examples, I also use an Open Source microservices framework, of which I am the maintainer. You can use any framework, to none at all, and still apply the ideas in this book usefully. This is not a “how to” book, it is a “what to” book. This book will teach you what to do to make microservices work, and teach you how to think about them.
