The content will be valid as well for those interested in linguistic, philosophy and many other areas of research both in humane and technical branches of science as logic permeates all genuine realms of science. The book contains a substantial part of classical results in logic like those by Godel, Tarski, Church and Rosser as well as later developments like many-valued logics, logics for knowledge engineering, first-order logics plus inductive definitions. The exposition is rigorous yet without unnecessary abstractionism, so it should be accessible to readers from many disciplines of science. Each chapter contains a problem section, and problems are borrowed from research publications which allows for passing additional information, and it allows readers to test their skills. Extensive bibliography of 270 positions directs readers to research works of importance. This book concentrates on the presentation of the basic domains of logic which have a great importance for the contemporary state of development of Computer Science (CS) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). This concerns, e.g., application of logic as a very important tool for expressing concepts on which different forms of reasoning can be performed, deep characterization of computational complexity of many different important problems in CS and AI as well as application of Boolean reasoning in different domains of CS and AI.

This book provides practitioners with structured methods for transforming geospatial data into the useful information they need to solve some of the world's most pressing problems. It spotlights the importance of location for human experience in the everyday world and introduces spatial thinking as a foundation and the location mindset as a foundational perspective. The book starts by showing how geospatial analysis is part of a more general data-to-information refinement process that requires the right mindset, toolset, and skillset to achieve. The book then presents structured principles and practices to help geospatial analysts--whether in government or industry--improve their observational, analytical, and communication techniques. These techniques are part of an original framework for interpreting geospatial data and information: the Observe, Analyze, Communicate (OAC) Framework. The OAC framework helps practitioners at all levels break down the basic steps of their day-to-day practice and learn valuable tradecraft that they can employ during each step. You'll learn how to center location as a foundational perspective in everyday life; use unique geospatial observation, analysis, and communication techniques; and know how to account for the role of uncertainty in assessment and production processes -- including utilizing special techniques to effectively communicate levels of certainty and uncertainty to your audience.

Leverage the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to drive the growth and success of your organization. This book thoroughly explores the reasons why it is so hard to implement AI, and highlights the need to reconcile the motivations and goals of two very different groups of people, business-minded and technical-minded. Divided into four main parts (First Principles, The Why, The What, The How), you'll review case studies and examples from companies that have successfully implemented AI. Part 1 provides a comprehensive overview of the First Principles approach and its basic conventions. Part 2 provides an in-depth look at the current state of AI and why it is increasingly important to businesses of all sizes. Part 3 delves into the key concepts and technologies of AI. Part 4 shares practical guidance and actionable steps for businesses looking to implement AI. We begin by examining the latest advances in Machine Learning algorithms, including generative AI, foundational models, reinforcement learning, robotics, computer vision, and image recognition. We will discuss the implications of these breakthroughs for businesses and AI-driven innovation. We then delve into AI hardware and infrastructure, discussing progress in specialized AI hardware, cloud-based platforms, and edge computing. We also look at the future trends in quantum computing and their potential impact on AI.

Deep Learning has developed for more than 10 years. Many novel models are proposed. Among others, the attention models have greatly impacted the Deep Learning area. Similar to the attention mechanism of human beings, the attention mechanism improves the performance of many Deep Learning models based on its discovery of important information hidden in data and motivates the emergence of many new Deep Learning models, like Transformer and its variants. This book includes eight chapters and aims to introduce some interesting works on the attention mechanism. Chapter 1 is a review of the attention mechanism used in the Deep Learning area, while Chapters 2 and 3 present two models that integrate the attention mechanism into gated recurrent units (GRUs) and long short-term memory (LSTM), respectively, making them pay attention to important information in the sequences. This book can be used by college students (undergraduate or graduate) chosen to major in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, electrical engineering, and mathematics, or others who study or have the potential to use Deep Learning algorithms. It could be of special interest to professors who research pattern recognition, Machine Learning, computer vision, neural language processing (NLP), and related fields, or engineers who apply Deep Learning models to their products. On the other hand, the reader is assumed to be already familiar with basic computer programming, Machine Learning, pattern recognition, and computer vision.

This book introduces the concept of combining Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of things (IoT) with real human organs to form a cybernetic organism or cyborg. It is a concept of man–machine mixture which helps in restoring or enhancing the ability of a body part by integrating some technology or artificial component with that body part. These smart artificial organs act as a substitute for real organs having various capabilities like scanning the body, detecting and transmitting the diagnostic data to machines. For example, an artificial heart is capable of monitoring the overall health of a person, and lungs can inform the doctor of abnormalities. This book benefits academic researchers and industrialist who work in the field cyborgization and IoT within human bodies. It is asserted that in today’s world, technology is playing an important role in our lives and has a huge impact on the way we communicate, live, and work. Technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Internet of Things (IoT), and many more have acquired a major part of our day-to-day lives and have made it very easy. Artificial Intelligence is making machines intelligent in contrast to the natural intelligence shown by human beings and other animals. Machine learning is the application of artificial intelligence which provides machines the ability to learn through experience instead of programming them explicitly. It helps the machines to act cognitively which can be further used in reading, interpreting, and utilizing heaps of data. Another important technology is the Internet of Things (IoT) which facilitates the networks of devices like actuators, software, electronic appliances, sensors, etc., to communicate with each other. The combination of IoT with AI can be used to teach decision-making to machines. Although these two technologies are in their stage of infancy, they have helped in the creation of a new category called Artificial Sensors.
