Learn to Program with Assembly
Many programmers have limited effectiveness because they don't have a deep understanding of how their computer actually works under the hood. In Learn to Program with Assembly, you will learn to program in assembly language - the language of the computer itself.Assembly language is often thought of as a difficult and arcane subject. However, author Jonathan Bartlett presents the material in a way that works just as well for first-time programmers as for long-time professionals. Whether this is your first programming book ever or you are a professional wanting to deepen your understanding of the computer you are working with, this book is for you. The book teaches 64-bit x86 assembly language running on the Linux operating system. However, even if you are not running Linux, a provided Docker image will allow you to use a Mac or Windows computer as well.The book starts with extremely simple programs to help you get your grounding, going steadily deeper with each chapter. At the end of the first section, you will be familiar with most of the basic instructions available on the processor that you will need for any task. The second part deals with interactions with the operating system. It shows how to make calls to the standard library, how to make direct system calls to the kernel, how to write your own library code, and how to work with memory. The third part shows how modern programming language features such as exception handling, object-oriented programming, and garbage collection work at the assembly language level.Additionally, the book comes with several appendices covering various topics such as running the debugger, vector processing, optimization principles, a list of common instructions, and other important subjects.This book is the 64-bit successor to Jonathan Bartlett's previous book, Programming from the Ground Up, which has been a programming classic for more than 15 years. This book covers similar ground but with modern 64-bit processors, and also includes a lot more information about how high level programming language features are implemented in assembly language.WHAT YOU WILL LEARN* How the processor operates * How computers represent data internally * How programs interact with the operating system* How to write and use dynamic code libraries* How high-level programming languages implement their features WHO THIS BOOK IS FORAnyone who wants to know how their computer really works under the hood, including first time programmers, students, and professionals.JONATHAN BARTLETT is a software developer, researcher, and writer. His first book, Programming from the Ground Up, has been required reading in computer science programs from DeVry to Princeton. He has been the sole or lead author for eight books on topics ranging from computer programming to calculus. He is a technical lead for ITX, where his specialty is getting stuck projects unstuck.Chapter 1: IntroductionChapter 2: The Truth About ComputersPart I: Assembly Language BasicsChapter 3: Your First ProgramChapter 4: Registers and Simple ArithmeticChapter 5: Comparison, Branching and LoopingChapter 6: Working with Data in MemoryChapter 7: Data RecordsChapter 8: Signed Numbers and Bitwise OperationsChapter 9: More Instructions You Should KnowPart II: Operating System BasicsChapter 10: Making System CallsChapter 11: The Stack and Function CallsChapter 12: Calling Functions from LibrariesChapter 13: Common and Useful Assembler DirectivesChapter 14: Dynamic Memory AllocationChapter 15: Dynamic LinkingPart III: Programming Language TopicsChapter 16: Basic Language Features Represented in Assembly LanguageChapter 17: Tracking Memory AllocationsChapter 18: Object-Oriented ProgrammingChapter 19: Conclusion and AcknowlegmentsPart IV: AppendicesAppendix A: Getting Set Up with DockerAppendix B: The Command LineAppendix C: Debugging with GDBAppendix D: Nasm (Intel) Assembly Language SyntaxAppendix E: Common x86-64 InstructionsAppendix F: Floating Point NumbersAppendix G: The Starting State of the StackAppendix H: ASCII, Unicode, and UTF-8Appendix I: OptimizationAppendix J: A Simplified Garbage CollectorAppendix K: Going to an Even Lower Level

Soziale Roboter
Soziale Roboter sind sensomotorische Maschinen, die für den Umgang mit Menschen oder Tieren geschaffen wurden. Sie können über fünf Dimensionen bestimmt werden, nämlich die Interaktion mit Lebewesen, die Kommunikation mit Lebewesen, die Nähe zu Lebewesen, die Abbildung von (Aspekten von) Lebewesen sowie – im Zentrum – den Nutzen für Lebewesen. Bei einem weiten Begriff können neben Hardwarerobotern auch Softwareroboter wie gewisse Chatbots, Voicebots und Social Bots dazu zählen. Die Disziplin, die soziale Roboter – ob als Spielzeugroboter, als Serviceroboter (Pflegeroboter, Therapieroboter, Sexroboter, Sicherheitsroboter etc.) oder als Industrieroboter in der Art von Kooperations- und Kollaborationsrobotern (Co-Robots bzw. Cobots) – erforscht und hervorbringt, ist die Soziale Robotik.Das Buch schafft Grundlagen in technikwissenschaftlicher, wirtschaftswissenschaftlicher, philosophischer, psychologischer und soziologischer Hinsicht. Es stellt dar, was soziale Roboter ausmacht, wie sie gebaut und programmiert werden, welche Anwendungsmöglichkeiten existieren und welche Herausforderungen sich ergeben.Das Kapitel 2 wird auf link.springer.com unter der Creative Commons Namensnennung 4.0 International Lizenz veröffentlicht.Prof. Dr. Oliver Bendel promovierte an der Universität St. Gallen. Er ist Dozent für Wirtschaftsinformatik, Informationsethik und Maschinenethik und forscht in Informations-, Maschinen- und Roboterethik.
The Little Book of Artificial Intelligence
This book is a brief introduction to artificial intelligence. It is intended for readers, in business, education, government, and self-edification.The author would like to thank his wife Margaret for helping with the manuscript. As in most disciplines, some of the subject matter is new and some of the subject matter is not so new, especially to persons trained in the subject of computers. A person with a degree in computer science should know it already. Artificial intelligence is an important subject to the modern world, and some disciplines have already benefitted greatly from it.The reader can survey the subject matter in any order he or she pleases. The busy executive can benefit greatly from it their parent organization. Executives in finance and banking can use to understand what is going on in their endeavors.Artificial intelligence is not only software but uses specially prepared software to take intellectual benefit in understanding what his or her data systems are doing.Artificial intelligence is something for the future from self-driving vehicles to self-managed business.

Pretrained Transformers for Text Ranking
THE GOAL OF TEXT RANKING IS TO GENERATE AN ORDERED LIST OF TEXTS RETRIEVED FROM A CORPUS IN RESPONSE TO A QUERY. ALTHOUGH THE MOST COMMON FORMULATION OF TEXT RANKING IS SEARCH, INSTANCES OF THE TASK CAN ALSO BE FOUND IN MANY NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING (NLP) APPLICATIONS. This book provides an overview of text ranking with neural network architectures known as transformers, of which BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) is the best-known example. The combination of transformers and self-supervised pretraining has been responsible for a paradigm shift in NLP, information retrieval (IR), and beyond.This book provides a synthesis of existing work as a single point of entry for practitioners who wish to gain a better understanding of how to apply transformers to text ranking problems and researchers who wish to pursue work in this area. It covers a wide range of modern techniques, grouped into two high-level categories: transformer models that perform reranking in multi-stage architectures and dense retrieval techniques that perform ranking directly. Two themes pervade the book: techniques for handling long documents, beyond typical sentence-by-sentence processing in NLP, and techniques for addressing the tradeoff between effectiveness (i.e., result quality) and efficiency (e.g., query latency, model and index size). Although transformer architectures and pretraining techniques are recent innovations, many aspects of how they are applied to text ranking are relatively well understood and represent mature techniques. However, there remain many open research questions, and thus in addition to laying out the foundations of pretrained transformers for text ranking, this book also attempts to prognosticate where the field is heading.* Preface* Acknowledgments* Introduction* Setting the Stage* Multi-Stage Architectures for Reranking* Refining Query and Document Representations* Learned Dense Representations for Ranking* Future Directions and Conclusions* Bibliography* Authors' Biographies
Objektivierung der Fahrbarkeit im fahrdynamischen Grenzbereich von Rennfahrzeugen
Die Abstimmung fahrdynamischer Eigenschaften von Rennfahrzeugen kann simulationsbasiert umso effektiver erfolgen, je genauer die Anforderungen des Fahrers hinsichtlich der Fahrbarkeit im fahrdynamischen Grenzbereich bekannt sind. Die von Florian Goy vorgestellte Methodik lässt die Anforderungen von professionellen Fahrern in den virtuellen Entwicklungsprozess einfließen, indem die Ergebnisse einer Rundenzeitsimulation mit fahrdynamischen Überlegungen zu neuartigen objektiven Kennwerten kombiniert werden. Mithilfe von Experimenten am Fahrsimulator kann die Methode verifiziert und der Wertebereich für eine gute Fahrbarkeit festgelegt werden. Grundlagen der Fahrdynamik, Fahrzeugmodellierung und Rundenzeitsimulation.- Vorstellung einer Methode zur Objektivierung von Fahrbarkeit und Rundenzeit.- Exemplarische Anwendung der Methode mithilfe von Versuchen am Fahrsimulator.
