The book reviews core concepts of machine learning (ML) while focusing on modern applications. It is aimed at those who want to advance their understanding of ML by providing technical and practical insights. It does not use complicated mathematics to explain how to benefit from ML algorithms. Unlike the existing literature, this work provides the core concepts with emphasis on fresh ideas and real application scenarios. It starts with the basic concepts of ML and extends the concepts to the different deep learning algorithms. The book provides an introduction and main elements of evaluation tools with Python and walks you through the recent applications of ML in self-driving cars, cognitive decision making, communication networks, security, and signal processing. The concept of generative networks is also presented and focuses on GANs as a tool to improve the performance of existing algorithms. In summary, this book provides a comprehensive technological path from fundamental theories to the categorization of existing algorithms, covers state-of-the-art, practical evaluation tools and methods to empower you to use synthetic data to improve the performance of applications.

In recent years, many technologies for gait and posture assessments have emerged. Wearable sensors, active and passive in-house monitors, and many combinations thereof all promise to provide accurate measures of physical activity, gait, and posture parameters. Motivated by market projections for wearable technologies and driven by recent technological innovations in wearable sensors (MEMs, electronic textiles, wireless communications, etc.), wearable health/performance research is growing rapidly and has the potential to transform future healthcare from disease treatment to disease prevention. The objective of this Special Issue is to address and disseminate the latest gait, posture, and activity monitoring systems as well as various mathematical models/methods that characterize mobility functions. This Special Issue focuses on wearable monitoring systems and physical sensors, and its mathematical models can be utilized in varied environments under varied conditions to monitor health and performance

This book covers the essential concepts and strategies within traditional and cutting-edge feature learning methods thru both theoretical analysis and case studies. Good features give good models and it is usually not classifiers but features that determine the effectiveness of a model. In this book, readers can find not only traditional feature learning methods, such as principal component analysis, linear discriminant analysis, and geometrical-structure-based methods, but also advanced feature learning methods, such as sparse learning, low-rank decomposition, tensor-based feature extraction, and deep-learning-based feature learning. Each feature learning method has its own dedicated chapter that explains how it is theoretically derived and shows how it is implemented for real-world applications. Detailed illustrated figures are included for better understanding. This book can be used by students, researchers, and engineers looking for a reference guide for popular methods of feature learning and machine intelligence.
