Semantics of Probabilistic Processes
by Yuxin DengThis book discusses the semantic foundations of concurrent systems with nondeterministic and probabilistic behaviour. Particular attention is given to clarifying the relationship between testing and simulation semantics and characterising bisimulations from metric, logical, and algorithmic perspectives. Besides presenting recent research outcomes in probabilistic concurrency theory, the book exemplifies the use of many mathematical techniques to solve problems in computer science, which is intended to be accessible to postgraduate students in Computer Science and Mathematics. It can also be used by researchers and practitioners either for advanced study or for technical reference.

Semantische Datenintelligenz im Einsatz
by Adrian Paschke Börteçin EgeSemantische Technologien haben mit der Entwicklung von datenbasierten Systemen wie Neuronale Netze, Deep Learning und Machine Learning ihre Bedeutung nicht verloren, sondern werden als effiziente wissensbasierte Systeme immer wichtiger. Denn intelligente Systeme der Zukunft müssen nicht nur in der Lage sein zu sagen, was sie entschieden haben, sondern auch wie sie zu dieser Entscheidung gekommen sind. Solche Systeme sind jedoch nur mit Hilfe von wissensbasierten Systemen auf der Grundlage von semantischen Technologien erreichbar. Heute reichen die Anwendungen von semantischen Systemen von der semantischen Suche, Knowledge Graphs, Chatbots, NLP, in der Medizin bis zur Telekommunikation, Verwaltung und Robotik. Semantische Technologien werden spätestens mit dem Voranschreiten des Internet of Things (IoT) und Industrie 4.0 Anwendungen allgegenwärtig sein. Dies ist unumgänglich, denn ohne sie ist auch die Interoperabilität unter Maschinen und insbesondere unter Roboter für eine intelligente Zusammenarbeit und Produktion nicht so einfach umsetzbar. Dafür gibt es bereits heute zahlreiche Beispiele aus der Industrie.

Hierbei wird der Schwerpunkt auf die Grundlagen und Konstruktionsprinzipien von Verfahren zur semantischen Suche in Texten gelegt. Mit vielen Praxisbeispielen, praktischen Erfahrungen, Aufgaben und Lösungen ist das Buch sowohl für Studierende und Dozenten als auch für Entwickler, Produkt- und Projektmanager und Entscheider bestens geeignet.
Semblance and Event: Activist Philosophy and the Occurrent Arts (Technologies of Lived Abstraction)
by Brian MassumiAn investigation of the “occurrent arts” through the concepts of the “semblance” and “lived abstraction.”Events are always passing; to experience an event is to experience the passing. But how do we perceive an experience that encompasses the just-was and the is-about-to-be as much as what is actually present? In Semblance and Event, Brian Massumi, drawing on the work of William James, Alfred North Whitehead, Gilles Deleuze, and others, develops the concept of “semblance” as a way to approach this question. It is, he argues, a question of abstraction, not as the opposite of the concrete but as a dimension of it: “lived abstraction.” A semblance is a lived abstraction. Massumi uses the category of the semblance to investigate practices of art that are relational and event-oriented—variously known as interactive art, ephemeral art, performance art, art intervention—which he refers to collectively as the “occurrent arts.” Each art practice invents its own kinds of relational events of lived abstraction, to produce a signature species of semblance. The artwork's relational engagement, Massumi continues, gives it a political valence just as necessary and immediate as the aesthetic dimension.
Semi-Famous: A True Story of Near Celebrity
by Josh SundquistIn this "laugh-out-loud funny&” book (Hank Green, New York Times bestselling author), social media star and comedian Josh Sundquist takes readers on his hilarious journey to the fringes of viral stardom to discover if it&’s possible to be both very famous and very happy As a semi-famous internet creator, Josh Sundquist knows what it's like to chase fame, but he also knows that more fame usually means more stress. So he set out on a pseudo-scientific investigation to find out if there is any way for fame and happiness to overlap. He attempts to define the word &“fame&”—hint: it's harder than you'd think. He turns back time to identify the first facially-recognizable celebrity (you might know his former BFF Brutus). He digs into the numbers to debunk urban legends associated with stardom (ever heard of the 27 Club?). He talks to other semi-famous people (from K-pop sensations to former child stars) and asks them: Is this fame thing making you happy? If not, why are you doing it? If so, what's your secret? All while recounting funny stories about his own cringy fame-seeking (like his many attempts, and failures, to get onto MTV). Packed with playful diagrams, fascinating insights from celebrities, and embarrassing truths from Josh&’s experience with semi-fame, this is a must-read for anyone who has ever dreamed of becoming famous…or at least going viral on TikTok.
Semi-Supervised Dependency Parsing
by Min Zhang Wenliang ChenThis book presents a comprehensive overview of semi-supervised approaches to dependency parsing. Having become increasingly popular in recent years, one of the main reasons for their success is that they can make use of large unlabeled data together with relatively small labeled data and have shown their advantages in the context of dependency parsing for many languages. Various semi-supervised dependency parsing approaches have been proposed in recent works which utilize different types of information gleaned from unlabeled data. The book offers readers a comprehensive introduction to these approaches, making it ideally suited as a textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students and researchers in the fields of syntactic parsing and natural language processing.

Semiconductors: Integrated Circuit Design for Manufacturability (Devices, Circuits, and Systems)
by Artur BalasinskiBecause of the continuous evolution of integrated circuit manufacturing (ICM) and design for manufacturability (DfM), most books on the subject are obsolete before they even go to press. That’s why the field requires a reference that takes the focus off of numbers and concentrates more on larger economic concepts than on technical details. Semiconductors: Integrated Circuit Design for Manufacturability covers the gradual evolution of integrated circuit design (ICD) as a basis to propose strategies for improving return-on-investment (ROI) for ICD in manufacturing. Where most books put the spotlight on detailed engineering enhancements and their implications for device functionality, in contrast, this one offers, among other things, crucial, valuable historical background and roadmapping, all illustrated with examples. Presents actual test cases that illustrate product challenges, examine possible solution strategies, and demonstrate how to select and implement the right one This book shows that DfM is a powerful generic engineering concept with potential extending beyond its usual application in automated layout enhancements centered on proximity correction and pattern density. This material explores the concept of ICD for production by breaking down its major steps: product definition, design, layout, and manufacturing. Averting extended discussion of technology, techniques, or specific device dimensions, the author also avoids the clumsy chapter architecture that can hinder other books on this subject. The result is an extremely functional, systematic presentation that simplifies existing approaches to DfM, outlining a clear set of criteria to help readers assess reliability, functionality, and yield. With careful consideration of the economic and technical trade-offs involved in ICD for manufacturing, this reference addresses techniques for physical, electrical, and logical design, keeping coverage fresh and concise for the designers, manufacturers, and researchers defining product architecture and research programs.

Semiotic Perception and Dynamic Forms of Meaning (Lecture Notes in Morphogenesis)
by David Piotrowski Antonino Bondi Yves-Marie VisettiWhat do we mean by semiotic perception? Why should the concepts of perception and expressivity be reinterpreted within the encompassing framework of a dynamic theory of semiotic fields and forms? Can we redeploy the concept of form in such a way as to make explicit such a native solidarity (‘chiasmatic’ would have said Merleau-Ponty) between perception, praxis and expression -- and first and foremost in the activity of language, right to the heart of the life of the social and speaking animal that we are? What then would be the epistemological and ontological consequences, and how might this affect the way we describe semiolinguistic forms? This book aims to provide answers to these questions by opening up avenues of research on how to understand the linguistic and semiotic dimensions at work in the constitution of experience, both individual and collective.
