In Ensemble Methods for Machine Learning you'll learn to implement the most important ensemble machine learning methods from scratch. Many machine learning problems are too complex to be resolved by a single model or algorithm. Ensemble machine learning trains a group of diverse machine learning models to work together to solve a problem. By aggregating their output, these ensemble models can flexibly deliver rich and accurate results.

Java developers usually tackle the complexity of software development through object-oriented programming (OOP). But not every problem is a good match for OOP. The functional programming (FP) paradigm offers you another approach to solving problems, and Java provides easy-to-grasp FP tools such as lambdas and streams. If you're interested in applying FP concepts to your Java code, this book is for you. This book is for you if you are curious about functional programming and want to know what all the fuss is about and apply it to your Java code. You might already be using some functional Java types but desire a more profound knowledge of why and how to apply them more effectively. There is no need to be an expert on OOP, but the book is not a beginner’s guide to Java or OOP. You should already be familiar with the Java standard library. No prior knowledge of functional programming is required. Every concept is introduced with an explanation and examples. The book covers Java 17 as the latest Long-Term-Support (LTS) version available at publication. But knowing that many developers need to support projects with earlier versions, the baseline will be the previous LTS, Java 11.

Face analysis is essential for a large number of applications such as human-computer interaction or multimedia (e.g. content indexing and retrieval). Although many approaches are under investigation, performance under uncontrolled conditions is still not satisfactory. The variations that impact facial appearance (e.g. pose, expression, illumination, occlusion, motion blur) make it a difficult problem to solve.Identifying the facial structure is trivial for humans. From the perspective of an algorithm, an image is represented by an array of pixels. From these pixels, the aim is to provide enough abstraction to reach a semantic level that allows facial landmarks to be retrieved. However, it is difficult for an algorithm to have this kind of high level of understanding. To overcome this semantic gap, two solutions have been proposed. The first one, the traditional approach, uses domain-specific knowledge to transform raw data into features (i.e. feature engineering). These features provide useful input for the prediction task, performed by Machine Learning (ML) algorithms.

Reading code is an essential skill, but many organizations today don't teach, practice, or even discuss it. Developers who lack the ability to read code well can't perform good code reviews, assess code quality, or decide on the use of an open source library. In two parts, this practical book helps developers become more comfortable at reading code. In the first part, you'll learn hands-on techniques for code reading, such as structural analysis, content analysis, and conceptual analysis. In part two, author Felienne Hermans from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, shows you how to apply those techniques to code snippets from well-known code bases, allowing you to practice the skills you learned in part one.

The recent book of the series continues the collection of articles dealing with the important and efficient combination of traditional and novel mathematical approaches with various computational intelligence techniques, with a stress of fuzzy systems, and fuzzy logic. Complex problems and systems, which prevail in the real world, cannot often be tackled and solved either by traditional methods offered by mathematics or even the traditional Computer Science (CS) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). What is the way out of this dilemma? Advanced methodologies, and tools and techniques, "mimicking" human reasoning or the behavior of animals, animal populations or certain parts of the living bod, based on traditional Computer Science and the initial approaches of Artificial Intelligence are often referred to as biologically inspired methods, or often Computational Intelligence (CI). Computational Intelligence offers effective and efficient solutions to many "unsolvable" problems.
