Learn how easy it is to apply sophisticated statistical and machine learning methods to real-world problems when you build on top of the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). With this practical guide, author and GCP Program Manager Valliappa Lakshmanan shows you how to gain insight into a sample business decision by applying different statistical and machine learning methods and tools.

Along the way, you'll get an extensive tour of the big data and machine learning parts of GCP. You'll start with statistical methods, move into straightforward classification, and then explore windowing and...

Large Scale and Big Data: Processing and Management provides readers with a central source of reference on the data management techniques currently available for large-scale data processing. Presenting chapters written by leading researchers, academics, and practitioners, it addresses the fundamental challenges associated with Big Data processing tools and techniques across a range of computing environments.
The book begins by discussing the basic concepts and tools of large-scale Big Data processing and cloud computing. It also provides an overview of different...

There's growing interest in learning how to analyze streaming data in large-scale systems such as web traffic, financial transactions, machine logs, industrial sensors, and many others. But analyzing data streams at scale has been difficult to do well--until now. This practical book delivers a deep introduction to Apache Flink, a highly innovative open source stream processor with a surprising range of capabilities.

Authors Ellen Friedman and Kostas Tzoumas show technical and nontechnical readers alike how Flink is engineered to overcome significant tradeoffs that have limited the...

This book provides a critical examination of how the choice of what to believe is represented in the standard model of belief change. In particular the use of possible worlds and infinite remainders as objects of choice is critically examined.

Descriptors are introduced as a versatile tool for expressing the success conditions of belief change, addressing both local and global descriptor revision. The book presents dynamic descriptors such as Ramsey descriptors that convey how an agent's beliefs tend to be changed in response to different inputs. It also explores sentential...

Fabia Schaufele untersucht, wie die Technisierung von Tatigkeiten die Einflussverteilung in den sie umsetzenden sozio-technischen Konstellationen verandert. Die Autorin geht dieser Frage im Rahmen einer vergleichenden Studie von Profiling-Prozessen - zu Sicherheits- und Uberwachungszwecken - an Flughafen und beim Credit-Scoring nach. Sie knupft dabei theoretisch an den techniksoziologischen Diskurs der Handlungsfahigkeit von Technik an und zeigt - mithilfe der erweiterten Skriptanalyse - wie technisches Wirken differenziert analysiert und verglichen werden kann.
