The major goals of texture research in computer vision are to understand, model, and process texture, and ultimately, to simulate the human visual learning process using computer technologies. In the last decade, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been revolutionized by Machine Learning and Big Data approaches, outperforming human prediction on a wide range of problems. In particular, Deep Learning convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are particularly well suited to texture analysis. This book examines four major application domains related to texture analysis and their relationship to AI-based industrial applications: texture classification, texture segmentation, shape from texture, and texture synthesis. Computer vision concerns itself with computationally achieving a high-level perception and understanding (approximating the performance of human cognition) of digital images and videos. It attempts the automation of tasks naturally accomplished by the human visual apparatus. Computer vision encompasses scientific methods for the acquisition, processing, analysis, and interpretation of digital images and extraction of multidimensional data from the physical world with a view to produce numerical or symbolic information. For any computer vision applications, the input data is an image or a video, and the objective is to understand the image and its contents. If the goal is to create an application of human vision—like object recognition, defect detection, etc.—then it may be called computer vision. Texture analysis is a technique for visualizing regions in an image by analyzing the texture information of those regions.

The book includes a thorough examination of the many types of algorithms for recommender systems, as well as a comparative analysis of them. It addresses the problem of dealing with the large amounts of data generated by the recommender system. The book also includes two case studies on recommender system applications in healthcare monitoring and military surveillance. It demonstrates how to create attack-resistant and trust-centric recommender systems for sensitive data applications. This book provides a solid foundation for designing recommender systems for use in healthcare and defense. Recommendation systems gather information about the likes and dislikes of a user and use various types of complex algorithms to predict what a user may be interested in and send personalized recommendations to users. Brands like Netflix, Amazon, Facebook, Spotify, and YouTube collect information about users and try to predict user preferences. If a person buys a certain product, then suggestions for similar products are sent to the user. If a user likes a particular type of music or movie, then it will try to predict and recommend similar types of music or movies to the user. It is a very vast and interesting area of research but at present, in this book, we have taken some of the most important topics which form the basis of recommender systems, along with some case studies and applications and suggestions for future research directions. This book will be useful to users who are new to the topic and wish to learn it. It will also be useful to advanced users who know the theory but want to implement or design a system from scratch and can learn from the different types of algorithms.

You might think of regular expressions as the holy grail of text processing, but are you sure you aren't just shoehorning them in where standard built-in solutions already exist and would work better? jаvascript itself provides programmers with excellent methods for text manipulation, and knowing how and when to use them will help you write more efficient and performant code. From extracting data from APIs to calculating word counts and everything in between, discover how to pick the right tool for the job and make the absolute most of it every single time. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced programmer, this up-to-date guide will save you a ton of time when dealing with text. With Text Processing with jаvascript, you'll find a collection of tiny programs, each demonstrating a string manipulation approach in jаvascript. You'll also focus squarely on the practical aspects of text processing with jаvascript - that is, what each technique is designed to accomplish and how to use it in your program. Most popular programming languages support regular expressions, and there’s a good reason for that: regular expressions are incredibly powerful at text processing. With regular expressions, you can greatly reduce the time and effort required for complex string parsing tasks that would otherwise take dozens of lines of code. But, as a jаvascript developer, you may not need to jump into writing regular expression patterns whenever you need to process texts. jаvascript already provides excellent built-in tools that meet many of your text manipulation needs. In this book, you’ll explore when and how to use each tool by working through real-world scenarios. You’ll learn the mechanics of jаvascript’s regex in detail via cookbook-style recipes for various text manipulation tasks.

Recently, Tiny Machine Learning (TinyML) has gained incredible importance due to its capabilities of creating lightweight machine learning (ML) frameworks aiming at low latency, lower energy consumption, lower bandwidth requirement, improved data security and privacy, and other performance necessities. As billions of battery-operated embedded IoT and low power wide area networks (LPWAN) nodes with very low on-board memory and computational capabilities are getting connected to the Internet each year, there is a critical need to have a special computational framework like TinyML. TinyML for Edge Intelligence in IoT and LPWAN Networks presents the evolution, developments, and advances in TinyML as applied to IoT and LPWANs. It starts by providing the foundations of IoT/LPWANs, low power embedded systems and hardware, the role of artificial intelligence and machine learning in communication networks in general and cloud/edge intelligence. It then presents the concepts, methods, algorithms and tools of TinyML. Practical applications of the use of TinyML are given from health and industrial fields which provide practical guidance on the design of applications and the selection of appropriate technologies. TinyML for Edge Intelligence in IoT and LPWAN Networks is highly suitable for academic researchers and professional system engineers, architects, designers, testers, deployment engineers seeking to design ultra-lower power and time-critical applications.
