Designing and Building Enterprise Knowledge Graphs
This book is a guide to designing and building knowledge graphs from enterprise relational databases in practice. It presents a principled framework centered on mapping patterns to connect relational databases with knowledge graphs, the roles within an organization responsible for the knowledge graph, and the process that combines data and people. The content of this book is applicable to knowledge graphs being built either with property graph or RDF graph technologies. Knowledge graphs are fulfilling the vision of creating intelligent systems that integrate knowledge and data at large scale. Tech giants have adopted knowledge graphs for the foundation of next-generation enterprise data and metadata management, search, recommendation, analytics, intelligent agents, and more. We are now observing an increasing number of enterprises that seek to adopt knowledge graphs to develop a competitive edge. In order for enterprises to design and build knowledge graphs, they need to understand the critical data stored in relational databases. How can enterprises successfully adopt knowledge graphs to integrate data and knowledge, without boiling the ocean? This book provides the answers. * Preface * Foreword by an Anonymous CDO * Foreword by Tom Plasterer * Acknowledgments * Disclaimer * Introduction * Designing Enterprise Knowledge Graphs * Mapping Design Patterns * Building Enterprise Knowledge Graphs * What's Next? * Conclusions * Bibliography * Authors' Biographies

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for Internet of Things (IoT)
UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES FOR INTERNET OF THINGSTHIS COMPREHENSIVE BOOK DEEPLY DISCUSSES THE THEORETICAL AND TECHNICAL ISSUES OF UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES FOR DEPLOYMENT BY INDUSTRIES AND CIVIL AUTHORITIES IN INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT) SYSTEMS. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has become one of the rapidly growing areas of technology, with widespread applications covering various domains. UAVs play a very important role in delivering Internet of Things (IoT) services in small and low-power devices such as sensors, cameras, GPS receivers, etc. These devices are energy-constrained and are unable to communicate over long distances. The UAVs work dynamically for IoT applications in which they collect data and transmit it to other devices that are out of communication range. Furthermore, the benefits of the UAV include deployment at remote locations, the ability to carry flexible payloads, reprogrammability during tasks, and the ability to sense for anything from anywhere. Using IoT technologies, a UAV may be observed as a terminal device connected with the ubiquitous network, where many other UAVs are communicating, navigating, controlling, and surveilling in real time and beyond line-of-sight. The aim of the 15 chapters in this book help to realize the full potential of UAVs for the IoT by addressing its numerous concepts, issues and challenges, and develops conceptual and technological solutions for handling them. Applications include such fields as disaster management, structural inspection, goods delivery, transportation, localization, mapping, pollution and radiation monitoring, search and rescue, farming, etc. In addition, the book covers:* Efficient energy management systems in UAV-based IoT networks* IoE enabled UAVs* Mind-controlled UAV using Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)* The importance of AI in realizing autonomous and intelligent flying IoT* Blockchain-based solutions for various security issues in UAV-enabled IoT* The challenges and threats of UAVs such as hijacking, privacy, cyber-security, and physical safety.AUDIENCE: Researchers in computer science, Internet of Things (IoT), electronics engineering, as well as industries that use and deploy drones and other unmanned aerial vehicles.

Essential Java for AP CompSci
Gain the essential skills for computer science using one of today's most popular programming languages, Java. This book will prepare you for AP CompSci Complete, but you don’t need to be sitting that class to benefit. Computer science has become a basic life skill that everyone is going to need to learn. Whether you are going into a career or side hustle in business, technology, creativity, architecture, or almost any other field, you will find coding and computer science play a role.So when we learn programming we are going to focus on three things: what is the process; what is the syntax; and what is the flow. The process is represented as a flowchart. We will learn how to make these to help you plan out what you are going to do before you write a line of code. At first, the flowcharts will be pretty simple, but then they will get more complex. The syntax is the code: this is what you write that translates the process you create in a flowchart to the instructions that the computer can understand. Finally, there is the flow. This is where you trace through the code and see how the data and information it stores along the way changes. You can see how the operation of the program cascades from line to line. You will be building charts that will capture the programming flow so you can better understand how the computer processes code to make your next program easier to conceive and code.Along the way to aid in the learning of the essential Java skills, there will be three kinds of project types throughout this book: business software projects for applications where you work for a company and need to complete an internal project for a team such as the sales, marketing, or data science teams; social good projects where you are working for non-profits or for agencies that are trying to research and provide solutions to economic, environmental, medical, or humanitarian projects; and game development projects for games based on player input, random chance, or other mechanics for the use of entertainment.What is unique about computer science is how it has become a skill, and not just a career. While there are jobs and titles of “computer scientist”, the skill of computer science, and specifically programming, are almost everywhere. After reading and using this book, you'll have the essential skills to think like a computer scientist, even if you are not. As a result you’ll be of greater value to your clients, your company, and yourself.WHAT YOU WILL LEARNDiscover the primary building blocks of programming using the Java programming language * See terminology and best practices of software development* Work with object-oriented programming concepts* Use common-language definitions and examples to help drive understanding and comprehension of computer science fundamentalsWHO THIS BOOK IS FORThose who want to learn programming and want to think like a computer scientist.

Towards Sustainable Artificial Intelligence
So far, little effort has been devoted to developing practical approaches on how to develop and deploy AI systems that meet certain standards and principles. This is despite the importance of principles such as privacy, fairness, and social equality taking centre stage in discussions around AI. However, for an organization, failing to meet those standards can give rise to significant lost opportunities. It may further lead to an organization’s demise, as the example of Cambridge Analytica demonstrates. It is, however, possible to pursue a practical approach for the design, development, and deployment of sustainable AI systems that incorporates both business and human values and principles.This book discusses the concept of sustainability in the context of artificial intelligence. In order to help businesses achieve this objective, the author introduces the sustainable artificial intelligence framework (SAIF), designed as a reference guide in the development and deployment of AI systems.The SAIF developed in the book is designed to help decision makers such as policy makers, boards, C-suites, managers, and data scientists create AI systems that meet ethical principles. By focusing on four pillars related to the socio-economic and political impact of AI, the SAIF creates an environment through which an organization learns to understand its risk and exposure to any undesired consequences of AI, and the impact of AI on its ability to create value in the short, medium, and long term.WHAT YOU WILL LEARN* See the relevance of ethics to the practice of data science and AI* Examine the elements that enable AI within an organization* Discover the challenges of developing AI systems that meet certain human or specific standards* Explore the challenges of AI governance* Absorb the key factors to consider when evaluating AI systemsWHO THIS BOOK IS FORDecision makers such as government officials, members of the C-suite and other business managers, and data scientists as well as any technology expert aspiring to a data-related leadership role.GHISLAIN TSAFACK is Head of Data Science at Elemental Concept 2016 LTD (EC), where he leads the organization’s AI strategy. As part of this, he leads the company’s work in leveraging the latest advances in AI to help clients create value from their data and auditing AI systems developed by third parties on behalf of potential investors.Ghislain’s work in the healthcare industry at EC involves supporting the development of data related healthcare products for his clients. This made him appreciate the challenges and the complexity of developing AI systems that people trust to make the right decision for them and stimulated him to write this book.Before joining EC Ghislain held positions as data scientist in the telecommunications and energy sectors. Prior to this, Ghislain worked as an academic at the French National Institute for Research and Automation (INRIA) and the University of Lyon 1. His work primarily focused on analyzing the behaviors of high performance systems to improve their energy efficiency and gave him the opportunity to co-author several scientific books presenting methodologies for improving the energy efficiency for large scale computing infrastructures. He holds a PhD in computer science from Ecole Normale Supérieure of Lyon, France.● Chapter 1: AI in our Society● Chapter goal: Reviews the place of AI within our society, discuss the various challenges that it AI faces, and introduces the foundational concepts of our sustainable AI framework○ 1.1 The Need for Artificial Intelligence○ 1.2 Challenges of Artificial Intelligence○ 1.3 Sustainable Artificial Intelligence● Chapter 2 Ethics of the Data Science Practice● Chapter goal: Reviews the human factor pillar of artificial intelligence, the relevance of ethics in AI and the source of ethical hazards in AI○ 2.1 Introduction○ 2.2 Ethics and their relevance to AI○ 2.3 Ethical nature of AI inferencing capability○ 2.4 Data – The business asset○ 2.5 AI regulatory outlook○ 2.6 Conclusion● Chapter 3 Overview of the Sustainable Artificial Intelligence Framework (SAIF)● Chapter goal: Summarises the SAIF framework for the development and deployment of AI applications● Chapter 4 Intra-organizational understanding of AI: Towards Transparency● Chapter goal: Discusses the need for understanding AI at the organization’s level and introduces concepts of AI governance○ 4.1 Introduction○ 4.2 Data Science Development Process○ 4.3 AI development process Controls○ 4.4 Governance■ 4.4.1 Expectations from AI governance■ 4.4.2 People and Values■ 4.4.3 Assessment of AI governance arrangements○ 4.5 Conclusion● Chapter 5 AI Performance Measurement: Think business values and objectives● Chapter goal: Summarises performance metrics for evaluating AI systems and introduces a framework to account for the human factor of AI○ 5.1 Introduction○ 5.2 AI performance metrics overview■ 5.2.1 Supervised problems■ 5.2.2 Unsupervised problems○ 5.3 Beyond traditional AI performance metrics■ 5.3.1 Soft performance metrics■ 5.3.2 From AI performance metrics to business objectives○ 5.4 Conclusion● Chapter 6 SAIF in Action● Chapter goal: This chapter illustrates how SAIF would work in practice through use cases● Chapter 7 Alternatives avenues for regulating AI systems● Chapter goal: Draws from experiences in academic, Telecom/Utility, and healthcare sectors to explore and examine the need for industry specific regulations.● Chapter 8 AI decision-making – from expectations to reality: The use case of healthcare● Chapter goal: Explores the use of artificial intelligence in the healthcare, its practical limitations an implications● Chapter 9 Conclusions and discussion● Chapter goal: Presents concluding remarks and discuss current lack of standards○ 9.1 Conclusions○ 9.2 Need for standards and definitions

External Labeling
THIS BOOK FOCUSES ON TECHNIQUES FOR AUTOMATING THE PROCEDURE OF CREATING EXTERNAL LABELINGS, ALSO KNOWN AS CALLOUT LABELINGS. In this labeling type, the features within an illustration are connected by thin leader lines (called leaders) with their labels, which are placed in the empty space surrounding the image.In general, textual labels describing graphical features in maps, technical illustrations (such as assembly instructions or cutaway illustrations), or anatomy drawings are an important aspect of visualization that convey information on the objects of the visualization and help the reader understand what is being displayed.Most labeling techniques can be classified into two main categories depending on the "distance" of the labels to their associated features. Internal labels are placed inside or in the direct neighborhood of features, while external labels, which form the topic of this book, are placed in the margins outside the illustration, where they do not occlude the illustration itself. Both approaches form well-studied topics in diverse areas of computer science with several important milestones.The goal of this book is twofold. The first is to serve as an entry point for the interested reader who wants to get familiar with the basic concepts of external labeling, as it introduces a unified and extensible taxonomy of labeling models suitable for a wide range of applications. The second is to serve as a point of reference for more experienced people in the field, as it brings forth a comprehensive overview of a wide range of approaches to produce external labelings that are efficient either in terms of different algorithmic optimization criteria or in terms of their usability in specific application domains. The book mostly concentrates on algorithmic aspects of external labeling, but it also presents various visual aspects that affect the aesthetic quality and usability of external labeling.* Bibliography* Preface* Acknowledgments* Figure Credits* Introduction* A Unified Taxonomy* Visual Aspects of External Labeling* Labeling Techniques* External Labelings with Straight-Line Leaders* External Labelings with Polyline Leaders* Conclusions and Outlook* Bibliography* Authors' Biographies* Index

Introduction to Computational Thinking
Learn approaches of computational thinking and the art of designing algorithms. Most of the algorithms you will see in this book are used in almost all software that runs on your computer.Learning how to program can be very rewarding. It is a special feeling to seeing a computer translate your thoughts into actions and see it solve your problems for you. To get to that point, however, you must learn to think about computations in a new way—you must learn computational thinking.This book begins by discussing models of the world and how to formalize problems. This leads onto a definition of computational thinking and putting computational thinking in a broader context. The practical coding in the book is carried out in Python; you’ll get an introduction to Python programming, including how to set up your development environment.WHAT YOU WILL LEARN* Think in a computational way* Acquire general techniques for problem solving* See general and concrete algorithmic techniques* Program solutions that are both computationally efficient and maintainableWHO THIS BOOK IS FORThose new to programming and computer science who are interested in learning how to program algorithms and working with other computational aspects of programming.Thomas Mailund, PhD is an associate professor in bioinformatics at Aarhus University, Denmark. He has a background in math and computer science, including experience programming and teaching in the C, Python and R programming languages. For the last decade, his main focus has been on genetics and evolutionary studies, particularly comparative genomics, speciation, and gene flow between emerging species.1 Introduction 1Models of the

Generating a New Reality
The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) has brought us to the precipice of a new age where we struggle to understand what is real, from advanced CGI in movies to even faking the news. AI that was developed to understand our reality is now being used to create its own reality.In this book we look at the many AI techniques capable of generating new realities. We start with the basics of deep learning. Then we move on to autoencoders and generative adversarial networks (GANs). We explore variations of GAN to generate content. The book ends with an in-depth look at the most popular generator projects.By the end of this book you will understand the AI techniques used to generate different forms of content. You will be able to use these techniques for your own amusement or professional career to both impress and educate others around you and give you the ability to transform your own reality into something new.WHAT YOU WILL LEARN* Know the fundamentals of content generation from autoencoders to generative adversarial networks (GANs)* Explore variations of GAN* Understand the basics of other forms of content generation* Use advanced projects such as Faceswap, deepfakes, DeOldify, and StyleGAN2WHO THIS BOOK IS FORMachine learning developers and AI enthusiasts who want to understand AI content generation techniquesMICHEAL LANHAM is a proven software and tech innovator with more than 20 years of experience.
