Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social scientists are often vexed because their work does not satisfy the criteria of "scientific" methodology developed by philosophers of science and logicians who use the natural sciences as their model. In this study, Paul Diesing defines science not by reference to these arbitrary norms delineated by those outside the field but in terms of norms implicit in what social scientists actually do in their everyday work.

Book Connections

Download or read book Connections written by H. Peter Alesso and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-01-18 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In their fascinating analysis of the recent history of information technology, H. Peter Alesso and Craig F. Smith reveal the patterns in discovery and innovation that have brought us to the present tipping point. . . . A generation from now, every individual will have personally tailored access to the whole of knowledge . . . the sooner we all begin to think about how we got here, and where we're going, the better. This exciting book is an essential first step." —From the Foreword by James Burke Many people envision scientists as dispassionate characters who slavishly repeat experiments until "eureka"—something unexpected happens. Actually, there is a great deal more to the story of scientific discovery, but seeing "the big picture" is not easy. Connections: Patterns of Discovery uses the primary tools of forecasting and three archetypal patterns of discovery—Serendipity, Proof of Principle, and 1% Inspiration and 99% Perspiration—to discern relationships of past developments and synthesize a cohesive and compelling vision for the future. It challenges readers to think of the consequences of extrapolating trends, such as Moore's Law, to either reach real machine intelligence or retrench in the face of physical limitations. From this perspective,the book draws "the big picture" for the Information Revolution's innovations in chips, devices, software, and networks. With a Foreword by James Burke and bursting with fascinating detail throughout, Connections: Patterns of Discovery is a must-read for computer scientists, technologists, programmers, hardware and software developers, students, and anyone with an interest in tech-savvy topics.

Book Social Intelligence

  • Author : Daniel Goleman
  • Publisher : Bantam
  • Release : 2006-09-26
  • ISBN : 0553903195
  • Pages : 418 pages

Download or read book Social Intelligence written by Daniel Goleman and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2006-09-26 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emotional Intelligence was an international phenomenon, appearing on the New York Times bestseller list for over a year and selling more than five million copies worldwide. Now, once again, Daniel Goleman has written a groundbreaking synthesis of the latest findings in biology and brain science, revealing that we are “wired to connect” and the surprisingly deep impact of our relationships on every aspect of our lives. Far more than we are consciously aware, our daily encounters with parents, spouses, bosses, and even strangers shape our brains and affect cells throughout our bodies—down to the level of our genes—for good or ill. In Social Intelligence, Daniel Goleman explores an emerging new science with startling implications for our interpersonal world. Its most fundamental discovery: we are designed for sociability, constantly engaged in a “neural ballet” that connects us brain to brain with those around us. Our reactions to others, and theirs to us, have a far-reaching biological impact, sending out cascades of hormones that regulate everything from our hearts to our immune systems, making good relationships act like vitamins—and bad relationships like poisons. We can “catch” other people’s emotions the way we catch a cold, and the consequences of isolation or relentless social stress can be life-shortening. Goleman explains the surprising accuracy of first impressions, the basis of charisma and emotional power, the complexity of sexual attraction, and how we detect lies. He describes the “dark side” of social intelligence, from narcissism to Machiavellianism and psychopathy. He also reveals our astonishing capacity for “mindsight,” as well as the tragedy of those, like autistic children, whose mindsight is impaired. Is there a way to raise our children to be happy? What is the basis of a nourishing marriage? How can business leaders and teachers inspire the best in those they lead and teach? How can groups divided by prejudice and hatred come to live together in peace? The answers to these questions may not be as elusive as we once thought. And Goleman delivers his most heartening news with powerful conviction: we humans have a built-in bias toward empathy, cooperation, and altruism–provided we develop the social intelligence to nurture these capacities in ourselves and others.

Book Pattern Detection and Discovery

Download or read book Pattern Detection and Discovery written by David J Hand and published by Springer. This book was released on 2003-08-02 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The collation of large electronic databases of scienti?c and commercial infor- tion has led to a dramatic growth of interest in methods for discovering struc- res in such databases. These methods often go under the general name of data mining. One important subdiscipline within data mining is concerned with the identi?cation and detection of anomalous, interesting, unusual, or valuable - cords or groups of records, which we call patterns. Familiar examples are the detection of fraud in credit-card transactions, of particular coincident purchases in supermarket transactions, of important nucleotide sequences in gene sequence analysis, and of characteristic traces in EEG records. Tools for the detection of such patterns have been developed within the data mining community, but also within other research communities, typically without an awareness that the - sic problem was common to many disciplines. This is not unreasonable: each of these disciplines has a large literature of its own, and a literature which is growing rapidly. Keeping up with any one of these is di?cult enough, let alone keeping up with others as well, which may in any case be couched in an - familiar technical language. But, of course, this means that opportunities are being lost, discoveries relating to the common problem made in one area are not transferred to the other area, and breakthroughs and problem solutions are being rediscovered, or not discovered for a long time, meaning that e?ort is being wasted and opportunities may be lost.

Book Visual Pattern Discovery and Recognition

Download or read book Visual Pattern Discovery and Recognition written by Hongxing Wang and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-06-14 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a systematic study of visual pattern discovery, from unsupervised to semi-supervised manner approaches, and from dealing with a single feature to multiple types of features. Furthermore, it discusses the potential applications of discovering visual patterns for visual data analytics, including visual search, object and scene recognition. It is intended as a reference book for advanced undergraduates or postgraduate students who are interested in visual data analytics, enabling them to quickly access the research world and acquire a systematic methodology rather than a few isolated techniques to analyze visual data with large variations. It is also inspiring for researchers working in computer vision and pattern recognition fields. Basic knowledge of linear algebra, computer vision and pattern recognition would be helpful to readers.

Book CONCEPT HIERARCHY BASED PATTERN DISCOVERY IN TIME SERIES DATABASE  A CASE STUDY ON FINANCIAL DATABASE

Download or read book CONCEPT HIERARCHY BASED PATTERN DISCOVERY IN TIME SERIES DATABASE A CASE STUDY ON FINANCIAL DATABASE written by Yan-Ping Huang and published by 黃燕萍工作室. This book was released on 2014-07-25 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data mining, a recent and contemporary research topic, is the process of automatically searching large volumes of data for patterns in computing. Nowadays, pattern discovery is a field within the area of data mining. In general, large volumes of time series data are contained in financial database and these data have some useful patterns which could not be found easily. Many financial studies in time series data analysis use linear regression model to estimate the variation and trend of the data. However, traditional methods of time series analysis used special types or linear models to describe the data. Linear models can achieve high accuracy when linear variation of the data is small, however, if the variation range exceeds a certain limit, the linear models has a lower performance in estimated accuracy. Among these traditional methods, SOM (Self Organizing Map) is a well-known non-linear model to extract pattern with numeric data. Many researches extract pattern from numeric data attributes rather than categorical or mixed data. It does not extract the major values from pattern rules, either. The purpose of this study is to provide a novel architecture in mining patterns from mixed data that uses a systematic approach in the financial database information mining, and try to find the patterns for estimate the trend or for special event’s occurrence. This present study employs ESA algorithm which integrates both EViSOM algorithm and EAOI algorithm. EViSOM algorithm is used to calculate the distance between the categorical and numeric data for pattern finding, whereas EAOI algorithm serves to generalize major values using conceptual hierarchies for patterns and major values extraction in financial database. The attempt of using ESA algorithm in this study is to discover the pattern in the Concept Hierarchy based Pattern Discovery (CHPD) architecture. Specifically, this architecture facilitates the direct handling of mixed data, including categorical and numeric values. This mining architecture is able to simulate human intelligence and discover patterns automatically, and it also demonstrates knowledge pattern discovery and rule extraction.

Book Pattern Discovery in Biomolecular Data

Download or read book Pattern Discovery in Biomolecular Data written by Jason T. L. Wang and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finding patterns in biomolecular data, particularly in DNA and RNA, is at the center of modern biological research. These data are complex and growing rapidly, so the search for patterns requires increasingly sophisticated computer methods. Pattern Discovery in Biomolecular Data provides a clear, up-to-date summary of the principal techniques. Each chapter is self-contained, and the techniques are drawn from many fields, including graph theory, information theory, statistics, genetic algorithms, computer visualization, and vision. Since pattern searches often benefit from multiple approaches, the book presents methods in their purest form so that readers can best choose the method or combination that fits their needs. The chapters focus on finding patterns in DNA, RNA, and protein sequences, finding patterns in 2D and 3D structures, and choosing system components. This volume will be invaluable for all workers in genomics and genetic analysis, and others whose research requires biocomputing.

Book Discriminative Pattern Discovery on Biological Networks

Download or read book Discriminative Pattern Discovery on Biological Networks written by Fabio Fassetti and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-09-01 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work provides a review of biological networks as a model for analysis, presenting and discussing a number of illuminating analyses. Biological networks are an effective model for providing insights about biological mechanisms. Networks with different characteristics are employed for representing different scenarios. This powerful model allows analysts to perform many kinds of analyses which can be mined to provide interesting information about underlying biological behaviors. The text also covers techniques for discovering exceptional patterns, such as a pattern accounting for local similarities and also collaborative effects involving interactions between multiple actors (for example genes). Among these exceptional patterns, of particular interest are discriminative patterns, namely those which are able to discriminate between two input populations (for example healthy/unhealthy samples). In addition, the work includes a discussion on the most recent proposal on discovering discriminative patterns, in which there is a labeled network for each sample, resulting in a database of networks representing a sample set. This enables the analyst to achieve a much finer analysis than with traditional techniques, which are only able to consider an aggregated network of each population.
