A Map to the Magic of Reading Stop for a moment and wonder: what's happening in your brain right now—as you read this paragraph? How much do you know about the innumerable and amazing connections that your mind is making as you, in a flash, make sense of this request? Why does it matter? The Reading Mind is a brilliant, beautifully crafted, and accessible exploration of arguably life's most important skill: reading. Daniel T. Willingham, the bestselling author of Why Don't Students Like School?, offers a perspective that is rooted in contemporary cognitive research. He deftly describes the incredibly complex and nearly instantaneous series of events that occur from the moment a child sees a single letter to the time they finish reading. The Reading Mind explains the fascinating journey from seeing letters, then words, sentences, and so on, with the author highlighting each step along the way. This resource covers every aspect of reading, starting with two fundamental processes: reading by sight and reading by sound. It also addresses reading comprehension at all levels, from reading for understanding at early levels to inferring deeper meaning from texts and novels in high school. The author also considers the undeniable connection between reading and writing, as well as the important role of motivation as it relates to reading. Finally, as a cutting-edge researcher, Willingham tackles the intersection of our rapidly changing technology and its effects on learning to read and reading. Every teacher, reading specialist, literacy coach, and school administrator will find this book invaluable. Understanding the fascinating science behind the magic of reading is essential for every educator. Indeed, every "reader" will be captivated by the dynamic but invisible workings of their own minds.

This book provides the readers with retrospective and prospective views with detailed explanations of component technologies, speech recognition, language translation and speech synthesis. Speech-to-speech translation system (S2S) enables to break language barriers, i.e., communicate each other between any pair of person on the glove, which is one of extreme dreams of humankind. People, society, and economy connected by S2S will demonstrate explosive growth without exception. In 1986, Japan initiated basic research of S2S, then the idea spread world-wide and were explored deeply by researchers during three decades. Now, we see S2S application on smartphone/tablet around the world. Computational resources such as processors, memories, wireless communication accelerate this computation-intensive systems and accumulation of digital data of speech and language encourage recent approaches based on machine learning. Through field experiments after long research in laboratories, S2S systems are being well-developed and now ready to utilized in daily life. Unique chapter of this book is end-2-end evaluation by comparing system’s performance and human competence. The effectiveness of the system would be understood by the score of this evaluation. The book will end with one of the next focus of S2S will be technology of simultaneous interpretation for lecture, broadcast news and so on.

Embedded software has traditionally been developed as a one-off software development effort designed for an individual product. In recent years, embedded system complexity has dramatically increased and the microcontrollers capabilities have followed. What were once simple 8-bit computing machines running at a few dozen megahertz have now become full-fledged 32-bit processors executing at hundreds of megahertz's. Developing software from scratch or for use in a single application or processor has become extremely costly and problematic for design teams. This API standard for microcontrollers is an example hardware abstraction layer designed to help embedded software developers designing products with microcontrollers create reusable software that abstracts out the hardware. This API standard has been developed and used in production systems for more than half a decade in devices ranging from automotive and medical devices to space systems. Each iteration that it has gone through has helped create a standard that flexible for developers and meets many general real-time design needs. Using an API to abstract out the microcontroller has several major benefits to development teams such as: Removing the specialized need to master the microcontroller hardware Decreasing costs through reusable firmware Faster times to market Better planning and accuracy in the development cycle Portability and flexibility to handle numerous applications Undoubtedly there are many more benefits but in this book the goal is to provide the reader with the standard. If you are interested in understanding how to develop reusable software and the processes that a developer would go through to create their own API's and HAL's, the companion book "Developing Reusable Firmware : A Practical Approach", can be found at www.beningo.com. Developing Reusable Firmware discusses the key ideas behind creating API's and HAL's along with the processes and design considerations that developers need to consider when creating their own. This standard example has gone through many iterations and has become very stable but there is always an opportunity that changes will be made in the future. In order to stay up to date and receive the latest information and also receive the associated API template files, please visit the associated webpage at https://www.beningo.com/api/index.php to sign-up. When you sign-up you will receive Doxygen template source files that layout the entire standard in way that can be easily modified to implement in your own development cycle. I wish you the best of luck in using this standard and dramatically transforming the way in which you develop and reuse your embedded software.

The proceedings of ECML/PKDD 2004 are published in two separate, albeit - tertwined,volumes:theProceedingsofthe 15thEuropeanConferenceonMac- ne Learning (LNAI 3201) and the Proceedings of the 8th European Conferences on Principles and Practice of Knowledge Discovery in Databases (LNAI 3202). The two conferences were co-located in Pisa, Tuscany, Italy during September 20–24, 2004. It was the fourth time in a row that ECML and PKDD were co-located. - ter the successful co-locations in Freiburg (2001), Helsinki (2002), and Cavtat- Dubrovnik (2003), it became clear that researchersstrongly supported the or- nization of a major scienti?c event about machine learning and data mining in Europe. We are happy to provide some statistics about the conferences. 581 di?erent papers were submitted to ECML/PKDD (about a 75% increase over 2003); 280 weresubmittedtoECML2004only,194weresubmittedtoPKDD2004only,and 107weresubmitted to both.Aroundhalfofthe authorsforsubmitted papersare from outside Europe, which is a clear indicator of the increasing attractiveness of ECML/PKDD. The Program Committee members were deeply involved in what turned out to be a highly competitive selection process. We assigned each paper to 3 - viewers, deciding on the appropriate PC for papers submitted to both ECML and PKDD. As a result, ECML PC members reviewed 312 papers and PKDD PC members reviewed 269 papers. We accepted for publication regular papers (45 for ECML 2004 and 39 for PKDD 2004) and short papers that were as- ciated with poster presentations (6 for ECML 2004 and 9 for PKDD 2004). The globalacceptance ratewas14.5%for regular papers(17% if we include the short papers).
