Hibernate: A Developer's Notebook
by James ElliottHibernate: A Developer's Notebook shows you how to use Hibernate to automate persistence: you write natural Java objects and some simple configuration files, and Hibernate automates all the interaction between your objects and the database. You don't even need to know the database is there, and you can change from one database to another simply by changing a few statements in a configuration file. If you've needed to add a database backend to your application, don't put it off. It's much more fun than it used to be, and Hibernate: A Developer's Notebook shows you why.

Hidden and Devalued Feminized Labour in the Digital Humanities: On the Index Thomisticus Project 1954-67 (Digital Research in the Arts and Humanities)
by Julianne NyhanHidden and Devalued Feminized Labour in the Digital Humanities examines the data-driven labour that underpinned the Index Thomisticus–a preeminent project of the incunabular digital humanities–and advanced the data-foundations of computing in the Humanities. Through oral history and archival research, Nyhan reveals a hidden history of the entanglements of gender in the intellectual and technical work of the early digital humanities. Setting feminized keypunching in its historical contexts–from the history of concordance making, to the feminization of the office and humanities computing–this book delivers new insight into the categories of work deemed meritorious of acknowledgement and attribution and, thus, how knowledge and expertise was defined in and by this field. Focalizing the overlooked yet significant data-driven labour of lesser-known individuals, this book challenges exclusionary readings of the history of computing in the Humanities. Contributing to ongoing conversations about the need for alternative genealogies of computing, this book is also relevant to current debates about diversity and representation in the Academy and the wider computing sector. Hidden and Devalued Feminized Labour in the Digital Humanities will be of interest to researchers and students studying digital humanities, library and information science, the history of computing, oral history, the history of the humanities, and the sociology of knowledge and science.
Hidden in White Sight: How AI Empowers and Deepens Systemic Racism
by Calvin D. LawrenceArtificial Intelligence was meant to be the great social equalizer that helps promote fairness by removing human bias from the equation, but is this true? Given that the policing and judicial systems can display human bias, this book explores how the technology they use can also reflect these prejudices. From healthcare services to social scoring in exams, to applying for and getting loans, AI outcomes often restrict those most in need of these services. Through personal stories from an esteemed Black Data Scientist and AI expert, this book attempts to demystify the algorithmic black box. AI pervades all aspects of modern society and affects everyone within it, yet its internal biases are rarely confronted. This book advises readers on what they can do to fight against it, including the introduction of a proposed AI Bill of Rights, whilst also providing specific recommendations for AI developers and technologists. https://hiddeninwhitesight.com/

Hiding Data - Selected Topics
by Ingo Althöfer Rudolf Ahlswedealexander Ahlswede Christian Deppe Ulrich TammDevoted to information security, this volume begins with a short course on cryptography, mainly basedon lectures given by Rudolf Ahlswede at the University of Bielefeld in the mid1990s. It was the second of his cycle of lectures on information theory whichopened with an introductory course on basic coding theorems, as covered inVolume 1 of this series. In this third volume, Shannon's historical work onsecrecy systems is detailed, followed by an introduction to aninformation-theoretic model of wiretap channels, and such important concepts ashomophonic coding and authentication. Once the theoretical arguments have beenpresented, comprehensive technical details of AES are given. Furthermore, ashort introduction to the history of public-key cryptology, RSA and El Gamalcryptosystems is provided, followed by a look at the basic theory of ellipticcurves, and algorithms for efficient addition in elliptic curves. Lastly, theimportant topic of "oblivious transfer" is discussed, which is stronglyconnected to the privacy problem in communication. Today, the importance ofthis problem is rapidly increasing, and further research and practical realizationsare greatly anticipated. This is the third of several volumes serving as thecollected documentation of Rudolf Ahlswede's lectures on information theory. Each volume includes comments from an invited well-known expert. In thesupplement to the present volume, Rüdiger Reischuk contributes his insights. Classicalinformation processing concerns the main tasks of gaining knowledge and thestorage, transmission and hiding of data. The first task is the prime goal ofStatistics. For transmission and hiding data, Shannon developed an impressivemathematical theory called Information Theory, which he based on probabilisticmodels. The theory largely involves the concept of codes with small errorprobabilities in spite of noise in the transmission, which is modeled bychannels. The lectures presented in this work are suitable for graduatestudents in Mathematics, and also for those working in Theoretical ComputerScience, Physics, and Electrical Engineering with a background in basicMathematics. The lectures can be used as the basis for courses or to supplementcourses in many ways. Ph. D. students will also find research problems, oftenwith conjectures, that offer potential subjects for a thesis. More advancedresearchers may find questions which form the basis of entire researchprograms.

Hierarchical Feature Selection for Knowledge Discovery: Application of Data Mining to the Biology of Ageing (Advanced Information and Knowledge Processing)
by Cen WanThis book is the first work that systematically describes the procedure of data mining and knowledge discovery on Bioinformatics databases by using the state-of-the-art hierarchical feature selection algorithms. The novelties of this book are three-fold. To begin with, this book discusses the hierarchical feature selection in depth, which is generally a novel research area in Data Mining/Machine Learning. Seven different state-of-the-art hierarchical feature selection algorithms are discussed and evaluated by working with four types of interpretable classification algorithms (i.e. three types of Bayesian network classification algorithms and the k-nearest neighbours classification algorithm). Moreover, this book discusses the application of those hierarchical feature selection algorithms on the well-known Gene Ontology database, where the entries (terms) are hierarchically structured. Gene Ontology database that unifies the representations of gene and gene products annotation provides the resource for mining valuable knowledge about certain biological research topics, such as the Biology of Ageing. Furthermore, this book discusses the mined biological patterns by the hierarchical feature selection algorithms relevant to the ageing-associated genes. Those patterns reveal the potential ageing-associated factors that inspire future research directions for the Biology of Ageing research.
Hierarchical Modular Granular Neural Networks with Fuzzy Aggregation
by Patricia Melin Daniela SanchezIn this book, anew method for hybrid intelligent systems is proposed. The proposed method isbased on a granular computing approach applied in two levels. The techniquesused and combined in the proposed method are modular neural networks (MNNs)with a Granular Computing (GrC) approach, thus resulting in a new concept ofMNNs; modular granular neural networks (MGNNs). In addition fuzzy logic (FL)and hierarchical genetic algorithms (HGAs) are techniques used in this researchwork to improve results. These techniques are chosen because in other workshave demonstrated to be a good option, and in the case of MNNs and HGAs, thesetechniques allow to improve the results obtained than with their conventionalversions; respectively artificial neural networks and genetic algorithms.

Higgs Boson Decays into a Pair of Bottom Quarks: Observation with the ATLAS Detector and Machine Learning Applications (Springer Theses)
by Cecilia TosciriThe discovery in 2012 of the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) represents a milestone for the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. Most of the SM Higgs production and decay rates have been measured at the LHC with increased precision. However, despite its experimental success, the SM is known to be only an effective manifestation of a more fundamental description of nature. The scientific research at the LHC is strongly focused on extending the SM by searching, directly or indirectly, for indications of New Physics. The extensive physics program requires increasingly advanced computational and algorithmic techniques. In the last decades, Machine Learning (ML) methods have made a prominent appearance in the field of particle physics, and promise to address many challenges faced by the LHC.This thesis presents the analysis that led to the observation of the SM Higgs boson decay into pairs of bottom quarks. The analysis exploits the production of a Higgs boson associated with a vector boson whose signatures enable efficient triggering and powerful background reduction. The main strategy to maximise the signal sensitivity is based on a multivariate approach. The analysis is performed on a dataset corresponding to a luminosity of 79.8/fb collected by the ATLAS experiment during Run-2 at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. An excess of events over the expected background is found with an observed (expected) significance of 4.9 (4.3) standard deviation. A combination with results from other \Hbb searches provides an observed (expected) significance of 5.4 (5.5). The corresponding ratio between the signal yield and the SM expectation is 1.01 +- 0.12 (stat.)+ 0.16-0.15(syst.).The 'observation' analysis was further extended to provide a finer interpretation of the V H(H → bb) signal measurement. The cross sections for the VH production times the H → bb branching ratio have been measured in exclusive regions of phase space. These measurements are used to search for possible deviations from the SM with an effective field theory approach, based on anomalous couplings of the Higgs boson. The results of the cross-section measurements, as well as the constraining of the operators that affect the couplings of the Higgs boson to the vector boson and the bottom quarks, have been documented and discussed in this thesis. This thesis also describes a novel technique for the fast simulation of the forward calorimeter response, based on similarity search methods. Such techniques constitute a branch of ML and include clustering and indexing methods that enable quick and efficient searches for vectors similar to each other. The new simulation approach provides optimal results in terms of detector resolution response and reduces the computational requirements of a standard particles simulation.
High Accuracy Surface Modeling Method: The Robustness
by TianXiang Yue Na ZhaoThis book focuses on the robustness analysis of high accuracy surface modeling method (HASM) to yield good performance of it. Understanding the sensitivity and uncertainty is important in model applications. The book aims to advance an integral framework for assessing model error that can demonstrate robustness across sets of possible controls, variable definitions, standard error, algorithm structure, and functional forms. It is an essential reference to the most promising numerical models. In areas where there is less certainty about models, but also high expectations of transparency, robustness analysis should aspire to be as broad as possible. This book also contains a chapter at the end featuring applications in climate simulation illustrating different implementations of HASM in surface modeling. The book is helpful for people involved in geographical information science, ecological informatics, geography, earth observation, and planetary surface modeling.

High Availability Per Lo Stack Lamp
by Eugenia Franzoni Jason CannonUno dei modi più comuni di rendere disponibili le applicazioni web è attraverso lo stack LAMP. LAMP è un acronimo che sta per Linux, Apache, MySQL e PHP; in questo ambiente, Linux è il sistema operativo, Apache il server web, MySQL il server di database e PHP il linguaggio di programmazione. Questa architettura può essere utilizzata per servire applicazioni open source o anche app personalizzate. Siti web famosissimi come Facebook, Wikipedia e Yahoo usano questo ambiente per servire le loro applicazioni a milioni di utenti in tutto il mondo, e anche moltissime applicazioni open source, quali WordPress, Drupal, Joomla! MediaWiki e SugarCRM, si appoggiano allo stack LAMP. Che stiate implementando o facendo da piattaforma ad un'applicazione personalizzata, o che stiate usando una soluzione open source, dovreste usare un'architettura che massimizzi il tempo di uptime dell'applicazione, elimini i single point of failure, permetta di scalare senza tempo di fermo, e sia relativamente semplice da implementare e supportare. È meglio prendersi il tempo all'inizio per tenere in considerazione i requisiti e gli obiettivi a lungo termine del servizio che state implementando, invece di prendere decisioni sull'architettura durante un momento di emergenza come può essere un potenziale aumento del traffico o un'interruzione dell'elettricità. Fare queste cose durante un'emergenza non è il modo migliore di gestirle. Ogni progetto può avere requisiti diversi, ma in genere ci sono solo alcuni punti importanti da considerare di sicuro: la ridondanza, la scalabilità, le prestazioni e la gestione. La ridondanza è come si riesca a reagire ad eventuali guasti, la scalabilità è la possibilità di gestire una base di utenti più grande o più piccola, le prestazioni implicano assicurarsi che l'esperienza di ciascun utente sia ad un livello almeno accettabile. Avere un servizio ridondante, scalabile e ad alte prestazioni non serve a niente se non si riesce a gest
High Dimensional Neurocomputing
by Bipin Kumar TripathiThe book presents a coherent understanding of computational intelligence from the perspective of what is known as "intelligent computing" with high-dimensional parameters. It critically discusses the central issue of high-dimensional neurocomputing, such as quantitative representation of signals, extending the dimensionality of neuron, supervised and unsupervised learning and design of higher order neurons. The strong point of the book is its clarity and ability of the underlying theory to unify our understanding of high-dimensional computing where conventional methods fail. The plenty of application oriented problems are presented for evaluating, monitoring and maintaining the stability of adaptive learning machine. Author has taken care to cover the breadth and depth of the subject, both in the qualitative as well as quantitative way. The book is intended to enlighten the scientific community, ranging from advanced undergraduates to engineers, scientists and seasoned researchers in computational intelligence.
