This book provides a comprehensive presentation of a recently introduced framework, named "probabilistic indexing" (PrIx), for searching text in large collections of document images and other related applications. It fosters the development of new search engines for effective information retrieval from manuscripts which, however, lack the electronic text (transcripts) that would typically be required for such search and retrieval tasks. 

The book is structured into 11 chapters and three appendices. The first two chapters briefly outline the necessary fundamentals and state of...

This book starts from the classic recommendation algorithms, introduces readers to the basic principles and main concepts of the traditional algorithms, and analyzes their advantages and limitations. Then, it addresses the fundamentals of deep learning, focusing on the deep-learning-based technology used, and analyzes problems arising in the theory and practice of recommender systems, helping readers gain a deeper understanding of the cutting-edge technology used in these systems. Lastly, it shares practical experience with Microsoft 's open source project Microsoft Recommenders. Readers...

This new edition presents the essential topics in probability and statistics from a rigorous standpoint. Any discipline involving randomness, including medicine, engineering, and any area of scientific research, must have a way of analyzing or even predicting the outcomes of an experiment. The authors focus on the tools for doing so in a thorough, yet introductory way.  After providing an overview of the basics of probability, the authors cover essential topics such as confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, and linear regression. These subjects are presented in a one semester...

This book explores the development of several new learning algorithms that utilize recent optimization techniques and meta-heuristics. It addresses well-known models such as particle swarm optimization, genetic algorithm, ant colony optimization, evolutionary strategy, population-based incremental learning, and grey wolf optimizer for training neural networks. Additionally, the book examines the challenges associated with these processes in detail. This volume will serve as a valuable reference for individuals in both academia and industry.
