Automating Linguistics
ISBN: 9783030706449 / Angielski / Miękka Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Automating Linguistics offers an in-depth study of the history of the mathematisation and automation of the sciences of language. In the wake of the first mathematisation of the 1930s, two waves followed: machine translation in the 1950s and the development of computational linguistics and natural language processing in the 1960s. These waves were pivotal given the work of large computerised corpora in the 1990s and the unprecedented technological development of computers and software. Early machine translation was devised as a war technology originating in the...

ISBN: 9783030703752 / Angielski / Miękka Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When viewed through a political lens, the act of defining terms in natural language arguably transforms knowledge into values. This unique volume explores how corporate, military, academic, and professional values shaped efforts to define computer terminology and establish an information engineering profession as a precursor to what would become computer science. As the Cold War heated up, U.S. federal agencies increasingly funded university researchers and labs to develop technologies, like the computer, that would ensure that the U.S. maintained economic prosperity and military...

Cyber security is the greatest risk faced by financial institutions today, a risk they have understood and managed for decades longer than is commonly understood. Ever since the major London banks purchased their first computers in the early 1960s, they have had to balance their dependence on those machines with the need to secure their operations and retain the trust of their customers. Technological change in the second half of the 20th century prompted British banks to reevaluate their function as trusted protectors of wealth. In the City of London, the capital’s oldest area...

Circuits, Packets, and Protocols: Entrepreneurs and Computer Communications, 1968-1988
ISBN: 9781450397261 / Angielski / Twarda / 632 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As recently as 1968, computer scientists were uncertain how best to interconnect even two computers. The notion that within a few decades the challenge would be how to interconnect millions of computers around the globe was too far-fetched to contemplate. Yet, by 1988, that is precisely what was happening. The products and devices developed in the intervening years—such as modems, multiplexers, local area networks, and routers—became the linchpins of the global digital society. How did such revolutionary innovation occur? This book tells the story of the entrepreneurs who were...

As mathematical as it gets, the machines discussed here were called X1 and X8.The industrial achievement combined with the background in a mathematical research center made the company Electrologica a legend in Dutch computing. The tales in this book are told by those who have a right to tell. Highly engaged professionals take readers back to their pioneering work with the machines and in retrospect unveil some of the values, which went without saying in the 1960s.To disagree,Paul Klintrelates the contrasting views on software...

Vom Ding an sich zum Internet der Dinge: Löst Künstliche Intelligenz das Problem der subjektiven Erkenntnis?
ISBN: 9783658407360 / Niemiecki Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Seit Beginn dessen, was man Philosophie nennt – also dem Zeitalter der Vorsokratiker – haben große Geister sich bemüht, den Dualismus Geist-Materie zu überwinden und Erkenntnis auf eine einzige, eindeutige Quelle zurück zu führen – dem Ding-an-sich. Diese Entwicklung wird in diesem Buch nachverfolgt – bis hin zu den modernen Instrumenten der Datenhaltung und der künstlichen Intelligenz. Im Internet of Things schließlich werden Informationen und Objekte wieder zu einer einzigen Entität verschmolzen. Liegt da vielleicht die Lösung nach der Suche des Ding-an-sich?
