Deep learning, often known as DL, is an approach to machine learning that is increasingly seen as the way of the future. Because of its impressive power of learning high-level abstract characteristics from enormous amounts of data, DL garners a lot of interest and also has a lot of success in pattern recognition, computer vision, data mining, and knowledge discovery. This is why DL is so successful in these areas. This book will not only seek to give a basic roadmap or direction to the existing deep learning approaches, but it will also highlight the problems and imagine fresh views that can lead to additional advancements in this subject. One of the most talked about topics in data science today is deep learning. Deep learning is a subfield of machine learning that makes use of sophisticated algorithms that take their cues from the way our own neural networks are wired and operate. The goal of this book is to provide a thorough introduction to deep learning, including an examination of its underlying algorithms, a presentation of its most recent theoretical advancements, a discussion of the most popular deep learning platforms and data sets, and an account of the significant advances made by a wide range of deep learning methodologies in areas such as text, video, image, speech, and audio processing.

More complex computing approaches have grown in popularity as technology has improved and big data has emerged. Increasing customer demand for better goods, as well as firms trying to better exploit their resources, have been driving this trend. Machine learning is a field that combines statistics, mathematics, and computer science to create and analyze algorithms that improve their own behavior in an iterative fashion by design. Initially, the discipline was committed to the development of artificial intelligence, but owing to the constraints of theory and technology at the time, it became more reasonable to concentrate these algorithms on particular tasks. Deep learning is a sort of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) that mimics how people acquire certain types of knowledge. Deep learning is a critical component of data science, which also covers statistics and predictive modeling. Deep learning is particularly advantageous to data scientists who are responsible with gathering, analyzing, and interpreting massive volumes of data; deep learning speeds up and simplifies this process. In this book the concept of deep learning under the machine learning is explained in every aspect. Whether, it's their fundamental concepts or the application of deep learning on daily basis.

The psychology classic—a detailed study of scientific theories of human nature and the possible ways in which human behavior can be predicted and controlled—from one of the most influential behaviorists of the twentieth century and the author of Walden Two. “This is an important book, exceptionally well written, and logically consistent with the basic premise of the unitary nature of science. Many students of society and culture would take violent issue with most of the things that Skinner has to say, but even those who disagree most will find this a stimulating book.” —Samuel M. Strong, The American Journal of Sociology “This is a remarkable book—remarkable in that it presents a strong, consistent, and all but exhaustive case for a natural science of human behavior…It ought to be…valuable for those whose preferences lie with, as well as those whose preferences stand against, a behavioristic approach to human activity.” —Harry Prosch, Ethics

John Parrington argues that social interaction and culture have deeply shaped the exceptional nature of human consciousness. The mental capacities of the human mind far outstrip those of other animals. Our imaginations and creativity have produced art, music, and literature; built bridges and cathedrals; enabled us to probe distant galaxies, and to ponder the meaning of our existence. When our minds become disordered, they can also take us to the depths of despair. What makes the human brain unique, and able to generate such a rich mental life? In this book, John Parrington draws on the latest research on the human brain to show how it differs strikingly from those of other animals in its structure and function at a molecular and cellular level. And he argues that this 'shift', enlarging the brain, giving it greater flexibility and enabling higher functions such as imagination, was driven by tool use, but especially by the development of one remarkable tool - language. The complex social interaction brought by language opened up the possibility of shared conceptual worlds, enriched with rhythmic sounds, and images that could be drawn on cave walls. This transformation enabled modern humans to leap rapidly beyond all other species, and generated an exceptional human consciousness, a sense of self that arises as a product of our brain biology and the social interactions we experience. Our minds, even those of identical twins, are unique because they are the result of this extraordinarily plastic brain, exquisitely shaped and tuned by the social and cultural environment in which we grew up and to which we continue to respond through life. Linking early work by the Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky to the findings of modern neuroscience, Parrington explores how language, culture, and society mediate brain function, and what this view of the human mind may bring to our understanding and treatment of mental illness.

Why is there so much chaos and suffering in the world today? Are we sliding towards dystopia and perhaps extinction, or is there hope for a better future? What happened in the human lineage over the last three million years that made us into a near-geologic force capable of altering the face of our planet and threatening our own existence? In Emerging World, Roger Briggs explores the evolution of consciousness and shows that this is behind everything humans have done, are now doing, and are capable of in the future. By bringing together the best knowledge from paleoanthropology, cultural philosophy, cognitive psychology, and evolutionary theory, Briggs makes the case that humanity is now on the verge of a major transformation, a monumental turning point in our story. Foreseen by many sages and scholars, this anticipated leap promises a new era of history and culture, and a new civilization on Earth in which the needs of all people are met and we become stewards of our living planet. Yet this is by no means guaranteed. Emerging World offers a new understanding of our crisis today and points the way to a bright future for humanity and life on our planet.

"The authors provide a concise overview of the basic principles and methods used by modern behavior analysts, as well as a thorough discussion of the difference between reward and reinforcement and elicited and emitted behavior." —THE PSYCHOLOGICAL RECORD "O′Donohue and Ferguson provide an exceptionally clear picture of the breadth, scientific importance, and value to society of the work of the late B.F. Skinner. They include reasons that his work has been criticized and misunderstood. A substantial index, an attractive cover and typeface, and a readable style are bonuses to this exceptionally well-researched, accurate, and fair description of Skinner′s work. All collections."— CHOICE In The Psychology of B. F. Skinner, William T. O′Donohue and Kyle E. Ferguson not only introduce the life of one of the most influential psychologist of the past century but also put that life into historical and philosophical context. In so doing, they illuminate Skinner′s contributions to psychology, his philosophy of science, his experimental research program, and the behavioral principles and applied aspects that emerged from it. They also rebut criticism of Skinner′s work, including radical behaviorism, and discuss key developments others have derived from it. Behaviorists, or more precisely Skinnerians, commonly consider Skinner′s work to have been misrepresented, misunderstood, and, to some extent, even defamed. The authors take great care in accurately representing both the strengths and the weaknesses of his positions. They also attempt to correct misinterpretations of his work. Finally, they guide students through Skinner′s theories and demonstrate their applications and usefulness via extensive examples and illustrations.
