Book The Use of AI in Libraries to Predict the Users  Needs in Different Communities

Download or read book The Use of AI in Libraries to Predict the Users Needs in Different Communities written by Salwa Elmeawad and published by Eldonusa Incorporated. This book was released on 2023-12-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the labyrinth of human history, libraries have always been revered sanctuaries of knowledge. They have witnessed civilizations rise and fall, regimes change, and cultures evolve. Through all these transformative epochs, libraries have remained steadfast, not just as keepers of knowledge, but as centers of community, learning, and innovation. Yet, like all institutions, libraries are not impervious to change. The digital age has ushered in a new era for these venerable institutions, challenging their traditional roles and pushing them into uncharted territories. "The Use of AI in Libraries to Predict the Users' Needs in Different Communities" is born out of the confluence of two powerful streams of innovation - artificial intelligence (AI) and the ever-evolving realm of libraries. This book is not just an exploration, but a testament to the harmonious marriage of technology and tradition, illustrating how AI can enhance, rather than replace, the human elements of a library. In the following chapters, readers will embark on a journey that delves deep into the intricacies of AI, demystifying its complexities and highlighting its potential. From its early integration into library systems to the profound ways in which it can shape the future of libraries, this book offers a comprehensive overview for both novices and experts alike. We will explore the myriad ways in which AI is revolutionizing library operations, from predictive analysis to personalized recommendations, all while emphasizing the ethical considerations that are paramount in this digital age. Furthermore, at the heart of this exploration is the community. Libraries are more than just repositories of books; they are hubs that cater to the diverse needs of their patrons. As we venture into discussions about how AI can be harnessed to understand and cater to various communities, it becomes evident that technology's true power lies in its ability to bring people together, to anticipate their needs, and to serve them better. However, this book also acknowledges and addresses the challenges that come with the union of AI and libraries. As with all technological advancements, there are hurdles to overcome, ethical dilemmas to navigate, and biases to confront. These issues are approached with a balanced perspective, offering insights, solutions, and reflections. As the author of this work, my hope is that "The Use of AI in Libraries to Predict the Patrons' Needs in Different Communities" serves as both a guide and a catalyst. A guide for library professionals, AI enthusiasts, students, and community leaders to navigate the evolving landscape of libraries in the digital age. And a catalyst to inspire further innovations, discussions, and collaborations in this exciting intersection of technology and tradition. Welcome to a journey of discovery, innovation, and inspiration. With warm regards, Dr. Salwa Elmeawad

Book Materials Discovery and Design

Download or read book Materials Discovery and Design written by Turab Lookman and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-09-22 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the current status, challenges and future directions of data-driven materials discovery and design. It presents the analysis and learning from data as a key theme in many science and cyber related applications. The challenging open questions as well as future directions in the application of data science to materials problems are sketched. Computational and experimental facilities today generate vast amounts of data at an unprecedented rate. The book gives guidance to discover new knowledge that enables materials innovation to address grand challenges in energy, environment and security, the clearer link needed between the data from these facilities and the theory and underlying science. The role of inference and optimization methods in distilling the data and constraining predictions using insights and results from theory is key to achieving the desired goals of real time analysis and feedback. Thus, the importance of this book lies in emphasizing that the full value of knowledge driven discovery using data can only be realized by integrating statistical and information sciences with materials science, which is increasingly dependent on high throughput and large scale computational and experimental data gathering efforts. This is especially the case as we enter a new era of big data in materials science with the planning of future experimental facilities such as the Linac Coherent Light Source at Stanford (LCLS-II), the European X-ray Free Electron Laser (EXFEL) and MaRIE (Matter Radiation in Extremes), the signature concept facility from Los Alamos National Laboratory. These facilities are expected to generate hundreds of terabytes to several petabytes of in situ spatially and temporally resolved data per sample. The questions that then arise include how we can learn from the data to accelerate the processing and analysis of reconstructed microstructure, rapidly map spatially resolved properties from high throughput data, devise diagnostics for pattern detection, and guide experiments towards desired targeted properties. The authors are an interdisciplinary group of leading experts who bring the excitement of the nascent and rapidly emerging field of materials informatics to the reader.

Book excerpt: The author has maintained two open-source MATLAB Toolboxes for more than 10 years: one for robotics and one for vision. The key strength of the Toolboxes provide a set of tools that allow the user to work with real problems, not trivial examples. For the student the book makes the algorithms accessible, the Toolbox code can be read to gain understanding, and the examples illustrate how it can be used —instant gratification in just a couple of lines of MATLAB code. The code can also be the starting point for new work, for researchers or students, by writing programs based on Toolbox functions, or modifying the Toolbox code itself. The purpose of this book is to expand on the tutorial material provided with the toolboxes, add many more examples, and to weave this into a narrative that covers robotics and computer vision separately and together. The author shows how complex problems can be decomposed and solved using just a few simple lines of code, and hopefully to inspire up and coming researchers. The topics covered are guided by the real problems observed over many years as a practitioner of both robotics and computer vision. It is written in a light but informative style, it is easy to read and absorb, and includes a lot of Matlab examples and figures. The book is a real walk through the fundamentals of robot kinematics, dynamics and joint level control, then camera models, image processing, feature extraction and epipolar geometry, and bring it all together in a visual servo system.

Book The National Artificial Intelligence Research and Development Strategic Plan

Download or read book The National Artificial Intelligence Research and Development Strategic Plan written by National Science and Technology Council and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-10-27 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Artificial intelligence (AI) is a transformative technology that holds promise for tremendous societal and economic benefit. AI has the potential to revolutionize how we live, work, learn, discover, and communicate. AI research can further our national priorities, including increased economic prosperity, improved educational opportunities and quality of life, and enhanced national and homeland security. Because of these potential benefits, the U.S. government has invested in AI research for many years. Yet, as with any significant technology in which the Federal government has interest, there are not only tremendous opportunities but also a number of considerations that must be taken into account in guiding the overall direction of Federally-funded R&D in AI. On May 3, 2016, the Administration announced the formation of a new NSTC Subcommittee on Machine Learning and Artificial intelligence, to help coordinate Federal activity in AI.1 This Subcommittee, on June 15, 2016, directed the Subcommittee on Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) to create a National Artificial Intelligence Research and Development Strategic Plan. A NITRD Task Force on Artificial Intelligence was then formed to define the Federal strategic priorities for AI R&D, with particular attention on areas that industry is unlikely to address. This National Artificial Intelligence R&D Strategic Plan establishes a set of objectives for Federally-funded AI research, both research occurring within the government as well as Federally-funded research occurring outside of government, such as in academia. The ultimate goal of this research is to produce new AI knowledge and technologies that provide a range of positive benefits to society, while minimizing the negative impacts.
