Download or read book Dear Data written by Giorgia Lupi and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Equal parts mail art, data visualization, and affectionate correspondence, Dear Data celebrates "the infinitesimal, incomplete, imperfect, yet exquisitely human details of life," in the words of Maria Popova (Brain Pickings), who introduces this charming and graphically powerful book. For one year, Giorgia Lupi, an Italian living in New York, and Stefanie Posavec, an American in London, mapped the particulars of their daily lives as a series of hand-drawn postcards they exchanged via mail weekly—small portraits as full of emotion as they are data, both mundane and magical. Dear Data reproduces in pinpoint detail the full year's set of cards, front and back, providing a remarkable portrait of two artists connected by their attention to the details of their lives—including complaints, distractions, phone addictions, physical contact, and desires. These details illuminate the lives of two remarkable young women and also inspire us to map our own lives, including specific suggestions on what data to draw and how. A captivating and unique book for designers, artists, correspondents, friends, and lovers everywhere.

Download or read book Introduction of Monitoring Activities at the Main canal Level written by J. Rey and published by IWMI. This book was released on 1993 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research activity described in this working paper is a joint effort undertaken by the International Irrigation Management Institute (IIMI) and the Irrigation Department of Sri Lanka. Two of the authors, S. Mohanrajah (Resident Engineer, Irrigation Department) and M. H. Junaid (Additional Engineer, Irrigation Department), were responsible for the management of the Right Bank Main Canal (RBMC) in Kirindi Oya during the season, maha 1991/92. The monitoring network introduced under their supervision, with the active collaboration of the field staff, proved to be of significant benefit for the effective accomplishment of their day-to-day tasks of canal management. This led the authors to the conclusion that disseminating this experience even at an early stage could be of some interest to others seeking the improvement of the management of manually operated irrigation canals. Emphasis has deliberately been put on methods rather than on thorough, a posteriori analysis of data. Thus, ideas suggesting how to use simple flow data to compute indicators and derive management information has been preferred to the in-depth analysis of the data. The authors also hope to convey their intimate conviction of the usefulness of real collaborative action-research between "outside catalysts" and managers in charge of irrigation systems through this paper.

Download or read book A Textbook of Artificial Intelligence for Class IX A Y 2023 24 Onward written by Hema Dhingra and published by Goyal Brothers Prakashan. This book was released on 2023-05-20 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term "artificial intelligence" may sound intimidating to some, but it has been in use for decades and its applications are more common than you might imagine. It is gaining the spotlight across applications in our personal and professional lives. AI is still at a relatively early stage of development, so that the range of potential applications, have ample scope left for further development. It holds the promise of solving some of the most pressing issues facing society, but also presents challenges such as unethical use of data and potential job displacement. There are so many amazing ways artificial intelligence and machine learning are used behind the scenes to impact our everyday lives. A1 assists in every area of our lives, whether we're trying to read our emails, get driving directions, get music or movie recommendations. AI is a constellation of technologies that enable machines to act with higher levels of intelligence and emulate the human capabilities of sense, comprehend and act. A1 is not specifically related to computer science. This is a field of study that encompasses human behaviour, biology, psychology, and even language and linguistics. AI presents opportunities to complement and supplement human intelligence and enrich the way people live and work. Artificial Intelligence is being widely recognized to be the power that will fuel this future global digital economy. Countries around the world are becoming increasingly aware of the potential benefits of developing and applying AI. From SIRI to self-driving cars, artificial intelligence (AI) is progressing rapidly. While science fiction often portrays AI as robots with human-like characteristics, AI can encompass anything from Google's search algorithms to IBM's Watson to autonomous weapons. From Amazon shopping recommendations, Facebook image recognition, and personal assistants like Siri, Cortana, and Alexa, your phone is becoming a portal to real-world applications of artificial intelligence. This book is a "glimpse into the future" that illustrates how AI will continue to transform our daily lives in the near future. Digitalisation and the new technological possibilities that artificial intelligence (A1) brings are driving the biggest social and economic changes since the industrial revolution. Without the right political, economic and ethical framework conditions there is a risk of uncontrolled development and a negative impact of AI. Artificial intelligence (A1) is doing a lot of good and will continue to provide many benefits for our modern world, but along with the good, there will inevitably be negative consequences. The sooner we begin to contemplate what those might be, the better equipped we will be to mitigate and manage the dangers. While writing the book, we have tried to keep the explanation simple with lots of examples and illustrations. Lastly, there is always a scope of improvement. Thus, it is a request to our esteemed readers to send the feedback and suggestions etc for the improvement of the book. All your requests are welcome.
