Book excerpt: In this off-beat book perfect for reading aloud, a Caldecott Honor winner shares the story of a duck who rides a bike with hilarious results. One day down on the farm, Duck got a wild idea. “I bet I could ride a bike,” he thought. He waddled over to where the boy parked his bike, climbed on, and began to ride. At first, he rode slowly and he wobbled a lot, but it was fun! Duck rode past Cow and waved to her. “Hello, Cow!” said Duck. “Moo,” said Cow. But what she thought was, “A duck on a bike? That’s the silliest thing I’ve ever seen!” And so, Duck rides past Sheep, Horse, and all the other barnyard animals. Suddenly, a group of kids ride by on their bikes and run into the farmhouse, leaving the bikes outside. Now ALL the animals can ride bikes, just like Duck! Praise for Duck on a Bike “Shannon serves up a sunny blend of humor and action in this delightful tale of a Duck who spies a red bicycle one day and gets “a wild idea” . . . Add to all this the abundant opportunity for youngsters to chime in with barnyard responses (“M-o-o-o”; “Cluck! Cluck!”), and the result is one swell read-aloud, packed with freewheeling fun.” —Publishers Weekly “Grab your funny bone—Shannon . . . rides again! . . . A “quackerjack” of a terrific escapade.” —Kirkus Reviews

Download or read book Time Predictions written by Torleif Halkjelsvik and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-02-28 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is published open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. Predicting the time needed to complete a project, task or daily activity can be difficult and people frequently underestimate how long an activity will take. This book sheds light on why and when this happens, what we should do to avoid it and how to give more realistic time predictions. It describes methods for predicting time usage in situations with high uncertainty, explains why two plus two is usually more than four in time prediction contexts, reports on research on time prediction biases, and summarizes the evidence in support of different time prediction methods and principles. Based on a comprehensive review of the research, it is the first book summarizing what we know about judgment-based time predictions. Large parts of the book are directed toward people wishing to achieve better time predictions in their professional life, such as project managers, graphic designers, architects, engineers, film producers, consultants, software developers, or anyone else in need of realistic time usage predictions. It is also of benefit to those with a general interest in judgment and decision-making or those who want to improve their ability to predict and plan ahead in daily life.

Download or read book DATA SCIENCE WORKSHOP Parkinson Classification and Prediction Using Machine Learning and Deep Learning with Python GUI written by Vivian Siahaan and published by BALIGE PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2023-07-26 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this data science workshop focused on Parkinson's disease classification and prediction, we begin by exploring the dataset containing features relevant to the disease. We perform data exploration to understand the structure of the dataset, check for missing values, and gain insights into the distribution of features. Visualizations are used to analyze the distribution of features and their relationship with the target variable, which is whether an individual has Parkinson's disease or not. After data exploration, we preprocess the dataset to prepare it for machine learning models. This involves handling missing values, scaling numerical features, and encoding categorical variables if necessary. We ensure that the dataset is split into training and testing sets to evaluate model performance effectively. With the preprocessed dataset, we move on to the classification task. Using various machine learning algorithms such as Logistic Regression, K-Nearest Neighbors, Decision Trees, Random Forests, Gradient Boosting, Naive Bayes, Adaboost, Extreme Gradient Boosting, Light Gradient Boosting, and Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), we train multiple models on the training data. To optimize the hyperparameters of these models, we utilize Grid Search, a technique to exhaustively search for the best combination of hyperparameters. For each machine learning model, we evaluate their performance on the test set using various metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. These metrics help us understand the model's ability to correctly classify individuals with and without Parkinson's disease. Next, we delve into building an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for Parkinson's disease prediction. The ANN architecture is designed with input, hidden, and output layers. We utilize the TensorFlow library to construct the neural network with appropriate activation functions, dropout layers, and optimizers. The ANN is trained on the preprocessed data for a fixed number of epochs, and we monitor its training and validation loss and accuracy to ensure proper training. After training the ANN, we evaluate its performance using the same metrics as the machine learning models, comparing its accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score against the previous models. This comparison helps us understand the benefits and limitations of using deep learning for Parkinson's disease prediction. To provide a user-friendly interface for the classification and prediction process, we design a Python GUI using PyQt. The GUI allows users to load their own dataset, choose data preprocessing options, select machine learning classifiers, train models, and predict using the ANN. The GUI provides visualizations of the data distribution, model performance, and prediction results for better understanding and decision-making. In the GUI, users have the option to choose different data preprocessing techniques, such as raw data, normalization, and standardization, to observe how these techniques impact model performance. The choice of classifiers is also available, allowing users to compare different models and select the one that suits their needs best. Throughout the workshop, we emphasize the importance of proper evaluation metrics and the significance of choosing the right model for Parkinson's disease classification and prediction. We highlight the strengths and weaknesses of each model, enabling users to make informed decisions based on their specific requirements and data characteristics. Overall, this data science workshop provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of Parkinson's disease classification and prediction using machine learning and deep learning techniques. Participants gain hands-on experience in data preprocessing, model training, hyperparameter tuning, and designing a user-friendly GUI for efficient and effective data analysis and prediction.

Book excerpt: Here are a series of tantalizing predictions about the coming century, delivered by thirty of today's greatest minds--including Stephen Jay Gould, Daniel Dennett, Sherry Turkle, Steven Weinberg, Noam Chomsky, Umberto Eco, and John Kenneth Galbraith. This glittering list of contributors includes Nobel laureates, bestselling writers, intellectual icons, and scientists at the cutting edge of research. Readers can sample everything from Nigerian novelist Chinua Achebe's hopes for the future of Africa in the next century, to feminist Andrea Dworkin's dream of a new Jerusalem for women. Science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke serves up a series of startling visions, including the possibility that, by the year 2050, large sea creatures will be found beneath the ice-covered oceans of Jupiter's moon Europa. Steven Pinker suggests that the completion of the Humane Genome Project will lead to a sudden jump in our knowledge about the genetic basis of our emotions and our learning abilities. And Richard Dawkins believes that the ancient mind-body problem will be solved--not by philosophers but by scientists. Each prediction is preceded by an intriguing profile of the author--blending a lively interview with biographical data--which conveys a vivid sense of the individual while setting their work in context and explaining their theories or inventions. These fascinating interviews, previously published inThe Times Higher EducationSupplement, give us instant capsule portraits of some of our most brilliant living thinkers. Predictionsis an exciting roadmap to the future as well as a vivid snapshot of the state of human knowledge at the end of the millennium.

Download or read book Prediction Learning and Games written by Nicolo Cesa-Bianchi and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-03-13 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important text and reference for researchers and students in machine learning, game theory, statistics and information theory offers a comprehensive treatment of the problem of predicting individual sequences. Unlike standard statistical approaches to forecasting, prediction of individual sequences does not impose any probabilistic assumption on the data-generating mechanism. Yet, prediction algorithms can be constructed that work well for all possible sequences, in the sense that their performance is always nearly as good as the best forecasting strategy in a given reference class. The central theme is the model of prediction using expert advice, a general framework within which many related problems can be cast and discussed. Repeated game playing, adaptive data compression, sequential investment in the stock market, sequential pattern analysis, and several other problems are viewed as instances of the experts' framework and analyzed from a common nonstochastic standpoint that often reveals new and intriguing connections.

This book was released on 2010-10-08 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More accurate forecasts of climate conditions over time periods of weeks to a few years could help people plan agricultural activities, mitigate drought, and manage energy resources, amongst other activities; however, current forecast systems have limited ability on these time- scales. Models for such climate forecasts must take into account complex interactions among the ocean, atmosphere, and land surface. Such processes can be difficult to represent realistically. To improve the quality of forecasts, this book makes recommendations about the development of the tools used in forecasting and about specific research goals for improving understanding of sources of predictability. To improve the accessibility of these forecasts to decision-makers and researchers, this book also suggests best practices to improve how forecasts are made and disseminated.
