Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Per gli entusiasti delle tecnologie emergenti e per i critici scettici: questo breve saggio esplora l'evoluzione delle Intelligenze Artificiali, mettendo in luce come le reti generative diventino "scatole nere" di risposte prive di spiegazioni. In un viaggio che da Giordano Bruno arriva fino a Pac-Man, il testo evidenzia la complessità delle reti generative, per aiutare lettori e lettrici a comprendere meglio l’AI e sfatarne i pregiudizi.La storia che conduce alle attuali reti generative è fatta di idee, scoperte, illusioni, primavere e inverni della ricerca, fantasmi concettuali, entusiasmi e risultati che sino a pochi anni fa venivano visti come esclusivo appannaggio di racconti e film di fantascienza.Ripercorrendo la storia, da Giordano Bruno fino ad arrivare a Pac Man, questo testo esplora l’evoluzione delle Intelligenze Artificiali. Concentrandosi sulle reti generative che diventano “scatole nere” di risposte prive di spiegazioni, gli autori mettono in luce la complessità e i miti che le circondano, con l’obiettivo di sfatare i pregiudizi spesso ad essa connessi.Il libro vuole essere una guida sia per gli entusiasti delle tecnologie emergenti, che per i critici scettici. Esso, infatti, presenta in modo accessibile e rigoroso l’utilizzo e le implicazioni delle reti neurali, fornendo una visione critica e approfondita della creatività amplificata dalle tecnologie. Inoltre, cerca di chiarire perché ciò che spesso chiamiamo “Intelligenza” potrebbe non esserlo e perché l’artificialità non è sempre così marcata come pensiamo.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il progresso dell’intelligenza artificiale è veloce, sostenuto dall’aumento della quantità di dati rilevanti, dal crescere della capacità di calcolo, dalla condivisione della ricerca. Presto l’AI sarà lo strumento più potente a disposizione di uomini e donne. Sapere dove già funziona, quali sono i suoi limiti, quali le competenze che richiede, come gestirne i rischi mantenendo al centro l’essere umano, che cosa serve per applicarla e come partire: queste le condizioni per comprenderla e utilizzarla al meglio. Senza timore, perché non esiste un’intelligenza artificiale capace di sostituirsi a noi, piuttosto esiste la possibilità di svilupparne una che ci aiuterà a migliorare e semplificare parecchie cose. In questa direzione, il libro rappresenta un tassello importante per capire un pezzo di futuro (tecnologico) e dibattere un pezzo di presente (umano).
Download or read book L intelligenza artificiale written by Melanie Mitchell and published by Giulio Einaudi Editore. This book was released on 2022-10-25 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: «Melanie Mitchell scrive sull'intelligenza artificiale con voce calda e amichevole e una brillantezza che nessuna macchina potrebbe sperare di eguagliare... per ora». Steven Strogatz «Un tour illuminante su come funziona l'intelligenza artificiale e sul perché non è all'altezza della vera intelligenza umana». Sean Carroll Quanto sono intelligenti i piú avanzati programmi di intelligenza artificiale? Possiamo fidarci di loro nelle decisioni che toccano le nostre vite? E in che misura dovremmo cominciare a preoccuparci rispetto a quando potrebbero superarci? Nessuna impresa scientifica recente è stata cosí entusiasmante, terrorizzante, piena di promesse stravaganti e di frustranti battute d'arresto quanto l'intelligenza artificiale. Con chiarezza e passione, Melanie Mitchell, un'importante scienziata informatica, ci offre un avvincente resoconto dell'intelligenza artificiale contemporanea. Arricchito di storie personali e un tocco di umorismo, il volume illustra il funzionamento di macchine che imitano l'apprendimento, la percezione, il linguaggio e persino la creatività e il buon senso umani. Intrecciando i progressi dell'intelligenza artificiale con le scienze cognitive e la filosofia, l'autrice sonda in che modi le macchine «intelligenti » di oggi possono effettivamente pensare o comprendere e se abbiano anche bisogno delle qualità umane piú peculiari. Una panoramica accessibile, chiara ed equilibrata dell'intelligenza artificiale, di ciò che la ricerca ha effettivamente realizzato, dei suoi limiti invalicabili e di cosa significherà nel futuro.
Download or read book The Humanities in Architectural Design written by Soumyen Bandyopadhyay and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-02-25 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offering an in-depth consideration of the impact which humanities have had on the processes of architecture and design, this book asks how we can restore the traditional dialogue between intellectual enquiry in the humanities and design creativity. Written by leading academics in the fields of history, theory and philosophy of design, these essays draw profound meanings from cultural practices and beliefs. These are as diverse as the designs they inspire and include religious, mythic, poetic, political, and philosophical references. This timely and important book is not a benign reflection on humanities' role in architectural design but a direct response to the increased marginalization of humanities in a technology driven world. The prioritization of technology leaves critical questions unanswered about the relationships between information and knowledge, transcription and translation, and how emerging technologies can usefully contribute to a deeper understanding of our design culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A superb, haunting, clotted mad masterpiece.'- John Banville, The Observer This unique cultural history attempts to go beyond the tourist clich of Prague as the 'golden city' to bring out all the mystery, ambiguity, gloom, lethargy and hidden fascination of the city on the Vltava. Ripellino slips into the style of melodrama and ghost stories, the anecdotes of the enchanted traveller and the outlandish bad taste of beer-teller tales to bring out the sorcery of the Bohemian capital in a mixture of fact and fiction.

Download or read book Pescara Tales 1902 written by Gabriele D'Annunzio and published by . This book was released on 2017-07 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The setting for his collection of eighteen stories by Gabriele D'Annunzio (1863-1938) was the Adriatic seaport of Pescara and its hinterland in the Italian region of Abruzzo, the author depicting events and personalities from the time of his youth, but also drawing from bygone incidents that were yet memorable in the area's folk history. Pescara may not have had the cachet of celebrated cities such as Venice or Florence, but sympathetically and wryly revealed here by the pen of one of Italy's great writers it lives and breathes with a vitality probably best compared to that of James Joyce's 'dear dirty Dublin'. Indeed Joyce, who admired D'Annunzio, may well have been inspired by the Italian's cameos of small-town life, his parade of saints, voluptuaries and reprobates, their repressions, obsessions, individual dissolutions, collective explosions of anarchy, and their aptness for bizarre behavior that extended from the catatonic to the manic. D'Annunzio came to recognize just how exotic his native region was after he had left it for Rome, where he worked for some years as a journalist and essay writer in the employ of various literary magazines. His Abruzzo articles, and especially those in which he records examples of extraordinary devotional behavior (akin to what Mark Twain was witnessing at that time on the banks of the Ganges), became the basis of the stories in this collection. D'Annunzio was a published poet at the age of sixteen, and his verse has never been absent from the Western Canon since. Something of his painterly style, the layered brushwork of his descriptions, the gorgeous romantic renderings of rural scenes and the moods of the sea, his celebrations of sensuality, his aesthete's fascination with all the possible bodily conditions, from the virginal-voluptuous to the decayed and moribund (he has been hailed as 'the body's poet'), will amaze and delight the reader even in the blandest and most dictionary-dependent translation. The present one is no such, however. Vladislav Zhukov is an experienced translator who has rendered works from four languages into English, including a substantial book of poetry, three volumes of short stories, and a novel (all available on Amazon.com). His knowledge of Italian is that of someone who acquired the language while living in Italy during his youth.
