An Introduction to Theory of Computation: An Algorithmic Approach
by Mitsunori OgiharaThis textbook aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to the theory of computation for upper-level undergraduate students and first-year graduate students in computer science and related disciplines. It covers a wide range of foundational topics essential for understanding the principles and applications of computation. The book begins with regular languages, exploring finite automata, nondeterministic finite automata, regular expressions, and the equivalence among these apparatuses. It explores state minimization and the Myhill-Nerode Theorem, offering techniques such as pumping lemmas to identify non-regular languages and using the Myhill-Nerode Theorem for non-regularity proofs. Additionally, the closure properties of regular languages are examined. Context-free languages are another focal point, where the text discusses context-free grammars, Chomsky normal form grammars, pushdown automata, and their equivalences. The book includes pumping lemmas and closure properties using CNF grammars and PDA analysis, as well as identifying non-context-free languages and understanding leftmost derivations. Turing machine models are thoroughly covered, with various models and simulations explained. The book outlines configurations, the Church-Turing Thesis, and differentiates between recursive and recursively enumerable languages. Decidability and undecidability are critical topics in the text, addressing decidable problems, diagonalization, the halting problem, and Rice’s Theorem. It also provides a characterization of decidability, discusses the Post Correspondence Problem, and examines the lower levels of the arithmetical hierarchy. The textbook also delves into computational complexity classes, defining time and space complexity classes, and presenting efficient simulations and hierarchy theorems, including the Hennie-Stearns Theorem. It includes examples of problems in P and NP, providing a clear understanding of these classifications. NP-completeness is explored in detail, covering SAT and 3SAT, canonical complete problems, and various NP-complete problems. The book extends to space complexity classes, discussing PSPACE complete problems, NL-complete problems, and proving that NL=coNL. Finally, the text ventures beyond NP-completeness, discussing Ladner’s construction of non-NPC sets, randomized complexity classes, and concepts such as BPP and the polynomial hierarchy. It also examines polynomial size circuits, providing a comprehensive view of the landscape of computational complexity.
An Introduction to Universal Artificial Intelligence (Chapman & Hall/CRC Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Series)
by Marcus Hutter David Quarel Elliot CattAn Introduction to Universal Artificial Intelligence provides the formal underpinning of what it means for an agent to act intelligently in an unknown environment. First presented in Universal Algorithmic Intelligence (Hutter, 2000), UAI offers a framework in which virtually all AI problems can be formulated, and a theory of how to solve them. UAI unifies ideas from sequential decision theory, Bayesian inference, and algorithmic information theory to construct AIXI, an optimal reinforcement learning agent that learns to act optimally in unknown environments. AIXI is the theoretical gold standard for intelligent behavior.The book covers both the theoretical and practical aspects of UAI. Bayesian updating can be done efficiently with context tree weighting, and planning can be approximated by sampling with Monte Carlo tree search. It provides algorithms for the reader to implement, and experimental results to compare against. These algorithms are used to approximate AIXI. The book ends with a philosophical discussion of Artificial General Intelligence: Can super-intelligent agents even be constructed? Is it inevitable that they will be constructed, and what are the potential consequences?This text is suitable for late undergraduate students. It provides an extensive chapter to fill in the required mathematics, probability, information, and computability theory background.

An Ontology for Unconventional Conflict (Understanding Complex Systems)
by Dean S. HartleyThis book describes the ontology structure, types of actors, their potential actions, and ways that actions can affect the things that are part of the conflict. An ontology of unconventional conflict supports the understanding of unconventional conflict in general. It also provides a tool for understanding and investigating a particular unconventional conflict. The ontology specifies the relations among the elements and supports creating a description of a particular situation. Unconventional conflict spans the range from natural disasters through human disagreements to irregular warfare (up to conventional war). Unconventional conflict involves damage to things and injuries to people; however, the critical factors are the actions, reactions, and opinions of people, including political, military, economic, social, infrastructure, and information components. This ontology supports and will appeal to military strategists, political scientists, economists, and politicians in understanding their planning for, and managing of these conflicts.
An Overview of the SIGMA Research Project: A European Approach to Seismic Hazard Analysis (Geotechnical, Geological and Earthquake Engineering #42)
by Alain Pecker Ezio Faccioli Aybars Gurpinar Christophe Martin Philippe RenaultThis book presents a summary of the important outcomes of the SIGMA project related to all aspects of Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment: source characterization, rock motion characterization, site response characterization, and hazard calculations, with for all of them emphasis on the treatment of uncertainties. In recent years, attempts have been made to identify and quantify uncertainties in seismic hazard estimations for regions with moderate seismicity. These uncertainties, for which no estimation standards exist, create major difficulties and can lead to different interpretations and divergent opinions among experts. To address this matter, an international research project was launched in January 2011, by an industrial consortium composed of French and Italian organizations. This program, named SIGMA (Seismic Ground Motion Assessment) lasted for five years and involved a large number of international institutions. This book is intended for instructors running courses on engineering seismology, graduate students in the same field and practicing engineers involved in Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analyses.

Once one of Silicon Valley's greatest success stories, for the past five years, Facebook has been under constant fire, roiled by controversies and crises. It turns out that while the tech giant was connecting the world, they were also mishandling users' data, allowing the spread of fake news, and the amplification of dangerous, polarising hate speech. Critics framed the narrative as the irreconcilable conflict between the platform's lofty mission to advance society by bringing people together while also profiting off of them. The company, many said, had simply lost its way. But the truth is far more complex. Drawing on their unrivalled sources, Frenkel and Kang take readers inside the complex court politics, alliances and rivalries within the company, its growing political influence as well as its skirmishes with privacy groups and the FTC, to shine a light on the fatal cracks in the architecture of the tech behemoth.

They reveal explosive details about how the tech giant set out to connect the world—while also mishandling users’ data, spreading fake news, and amplifying dangerous, polarizing hate speech. The company, many said, had simply lost its way. But the truth is far more complex. Facebook’s engineers were instructed to create tools that encouraged people to spend as much time on the platform as possible, even if that meant promoting inflammatory rhetoric, conspiracy theories, and partisan filter bubbles. And while consumers and lawmakers were outraged by privacy breaches and misinformation, Facebook solidified its role as the world’s most voracious data-mining machine, posting record profits, and shoring up its dominance via aggressive lobbying efforts.Drawing on their unrivaled sources, Frenkel and Kang take readers inside the alliances and rivalries within the company to demonstrate that the company’s “missteps” were no such thing—this is how Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg built Facebook to perform.
