  Machine Learning: The New AI: The MIT Press Essential Knowledge Series , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 264min

  Today, machine learning underlies a range of applications we use every day, from product recommendations to voice recognition - as well as some we don't yet use every day, including driverless cars. It is the basis of the new approach in computing where we do not write programs but collect data; the idea is to learn the algorithms for the tasks automatically from data. As computing devices grow more ubiquitous, a larger part of our lives and work is recorded digitally, and as "Big Data" has gotten bigger, the theory of machine learning - the foundation of efforts to process that data into knowledge - has also advanced. In this audiobook, machine learning expert Ethem Alpaydin offers a concise overview of the subject for the general listener, describing its evolution, explaining important learning algorithms, and presenting example applications. Alpaydin offers an account of how digital technology advanced from number-crunching mainframes to mobile devices, putting today's machine learning boom in context. He describes the basics of machine learning and some applications; the use of machine learning algorithms for pattern recognition; artificial neural networks inspired by the human brain; algorithms that learn associations between instances, with such applications as customer segmentation and learning recommendations; and reinforcement learning, when an autonomous agent learns act so as to maximize reward and minimize penalty. Alpaydin then considers some future directions for machine learning and the new field of "data science," and discusses the ethical and legal implications for data privacy and security. ungekürzt.

  Hello World: How to Be Human in the Age of the Machine , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 411min

  Random House presents the audiobook edition of Hello World by Hannah Fry. You are accused of a crime. Who would you rather determined your fate - a human or an algorithm?An algorithm is more consistent and less prone to error of judgment. Yet a human can look you in the eye before passing sentence. You need a liver transplant to save your life. Who would you want in charge of organ allocation?An algorithm can match organ donors with patients, potentially saving many more lives. But it may send you to the back of the queue. You’re buying a (driverless) car. One vehicle is programmed to save as many lives as possible in a collision. Another promises to prioritise the lives of its passengers. Which do you choose? Welcome to the age of the algorithm, the story of a not-too-distant future where machines rule supreme, making important decisions - in health care, transport, finance, security, what we watch, where we go, even whom we send to prison. So how much should we rely on them? What kind of future do we want?Hannah Fry takes us on a tour of the good, the bad and the downright ugly of the algorithms that surround us. In Hello World she lifts the lid on their inner workings, demonstrates their power, exposes their limitations and examines whether they really are an improvement on the humans they are replacing. ungekürzt.

  Click Here to Kill Everybody: Security and Survival in a Hyper-connected World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 486min

  A world of "smart" devices means the Internet can kill people. We need to act. Now. Everything is a computer. Ovens are computers that make things hot; refrigerators are computers that keep things cold. These computers - from home thermostats to chemical plants - are all online. The Internet, once a virtual abstraction, can now sense and touch the physical world.As we open our lives to this future, often called the Internet of Things, we are beginning to see its enormous potential in ideas like driverless cars, smart cities, and personal agents equipped with their own behavioral algorithms. But every knife cuts two ways.All computers can be hacked. And Internet-connected computers are the most vulnerable. Forget data theft: Cutting-edge digital attackers can now crash your car, your pacemaker, and the nation’s power grid. In Click Here to Kill Everybody, renowned expert and best-selling author Bruce Schneier examines the hidden risks of this new reality.After exploring the full implications of a world populated by hyperconnected devices, Schneier reveals the hidden web of technical, political, and market forces that underpin the pervasive insecurities of today. He then offers common-sense choices for companies, governments, and individuals that can allow us to enjoy the benefits of this omnipotent age without falling prey to its vulnerabilities.From principles for a more resilient Internet of Things to a recipe for sane government regulation and oversight to a better way to understand a truly new environment, Schneier’s vision is required listening for anyone invested in human flourishing. ungekürzt.

  Artificial Intelligence, deep learning, machine learning - whatever you're doing if you don't understand it - learn it. Because otherwise you're going to be a dinosaur within three years. (Mark Cuban)   “The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.... It would take off on its own, and re-design itself at an ever increasing rate. Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn't compete, and would be superseded.” (Stephen Hawking) Discover and learn all about machine learning in this book. You will understand and learn more about machine learning with the proper frameworks to solve problems. Have you seen or read about the automated driverless cars cruising the road and highways? Don’t you want to learn more about the framework that institutions and companies are using for machine learning? Wouldn’t you want to find out the types of real-life problems that are solved by various machine learning models? Machine learning usage has been looming around us yet most of us are still uninformed about its applications and how it can improve daily life.  "Machine learning is about taking the data that anyone might have - whether it's a sports franchise or an industrial manufacturer - and using algorithms to actually reason over the data and to predict outcomes that a businessperson can use to make better decisions.” (Christopher Matthews) In this book, Machine Learning: For Beginners - Your Definitive Guide for Machine Learning Framework, Machine Learning Model, Bayes Theorem, Decision Trees: Learn how to choose a machine-learning framework in terms of speed, scalability, and ease of use Learn how to use the right machine-learning model for different types of problems  More in-depth discussion on anomalies and anomaly detection techniques Understand association ungekürzt.

  Robots: The MIT Press Essential Knowledge series , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 311min

  Robots are entering the mainstream. Technologies have advanced to the point of mass commercialization - Roomba, for example - and adoption by governments - most notably, their use of drones. Meanwhile, these devices are being received by a public whose main sources of information about robots are the fantasies of popular culture. We know a lot about C-3PO and Robocop, but not much about Atlas, Motoman, Kiva, or Beam - real-life robots that are reinventing warfare, the industrial workplace, and collaboration. In this book, technology analyst John Jordan offers an accessible and engaging introduction to robots and robotics, covering state-of-the-art applications, economic implications, and cultural context. Jordan chronicles the prehistory of robots and the treatment of robots in science fiction, movies, and television - from the outsized influence of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein to Isaac Asimov's I, Robot (in which Asimov coined the term "robotics"). He offers a guided tour of robotics today, describing the components of robots, the complicating factors that make robotics so challenging, and such applications as driverless cars, unmanned warfare, and robots on the assembly line. Roboticists draw on such technical fields as power management, materials science, and artificial intelligence. Jordan points out, however, that robotics design decisions also embody such nontechnical elements as value judgments, professional aspirations, and ethical assumptions, and raise questions that involve law, belief, economics, education, public safety, and human identity. Robots will be neither our slaves nor our overlords; instead, they are rapidly becoming our close companions, working in partnership with us - whether in a factory, on a highway, or as a prosthetic device. Given these profound changes to human work and life, Jordan argues that robotics is too important to be left solely to roboticists. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Walter Dixon.

  Machines of Loving Grace: The Quest for Common Ground Between Humans and Robots , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 713min

  As robots are increasingly integrated into modern society - on the battlefield and the road, in business, education, and health - Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times science writer John Markoff searches for an answer to one of the most important questions of our age: Will these machines help us, or will they replace us? In the past decade alone, Google introduced us to driverless cars, Apple debuted a personal assistant that we keep in our pockets, and an Internet of Things connected the smaller tasks of everyday life to the farthest reaches of the Internet. There is little doubt that robots are now an integral part of society, and cheap sensors and powerful computers will ensure that in the coming years, these robots will soon act on their own. This new era offers the promise of immense computing power, but it also reframes a question first raised more than half a century ago, at the birth of the intelligent machine: Will we control these systems, or will they control us? In Machines of Loving Grace, New York Times reporter John Markoff, the first reporter to cover the World Wide Web, offers a sweeping history of the complicated and evolving relationship between humans and computers. Over the recent years, the pace of technological change has accelerated dramatically, reintroducing this difficult ethical quandary with newer and far weightier consequences. As Markoff chronicles the history of automation, from the birth of the artificial intelligence and intelligence augmentation communities in the 1950s to the modern-day brain trusts at Google and Apple in Silicon Valley and on to the expanding tech corridor between Boston and New York, he traces the different ways developers have addressed this fundamental problem and urges them to carefully consider the consequences of their work. ungekürzt.

  Never Lost Again: The Google Mapping Revolution That Sparked New Industries and Augmented Our Reality , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 601min

  As enlightening as The Facebook Effect, Elon Musk, and Chaos Monkeys - the compelling, behind-the-scenes story of the creation of one of the most essential applications ever devised, and the rag-tag team that built it and changed how we navigate the world. Never Lost Again chronicles the evolution of mapping technology - the "overnight success 20 years in the making." Bill Kilday takes us behind the scenes of the tech’s development, and introduces to the team that gave us not only Google Maps but Google Earth, and most recently, Pokémon Go. He takes us back to the beginning to Keyhole - a cash-strapped startup mapping company started by a small-town Texas boy named John Hanke, that nearly folded when the tech bubble burst. While a contract with the CIA kept them afloat, the company’s big break came with the first invasion of Iraq; CNN used their technology to cover the war and made it famous. Then Google came on the scene, buying the company and relaunching the software as Google Maps and Google Earth. Eventually, Hanke’s original company was spun back out of Google, and is now responsible for Pokémon Go and the upcoming Harry Potter: Wizards Unite. Kilday, the marketing director for Keyhole and Google Maps, was there from the earliest days, and offers a personal look behind the scenes at the tech and the minds developing it. But this book isn’t only a look back at the past; it is also a glimpse of what’s to come. Kilday reveals how emerging map-based technologies, including virtual reality and driverless cars, are going to upend our lives once again. Never Lost Again shows us how our worldview changed dramatically as a result of vision, imagination, and implementation. It’s a crazy story. And it all started with a really good map. ungekürzt.

  The Calm Before the Storm , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 37min, (USK 18)

  Comedian Kabir "Kabeezy" Singh, and his album The Calm Before the Storm, are a cut above the rest. His jokes pierce deep and he gets to the point. He's sharp, incisive, and edgy. Although it's hard to say exactly what it is that makes Kabir's pen mightier than the sword (yet able to cut like one), it might simply be that his garish bravado is a smokescreen for his clever, well-crafted twists and takes. While bordering on abrasive and contentious, his lavish and liberal use of various flavorful expletives actually make his material accessible and inclusive. Kabir's swagger is alluring. His candidness is refreshing. Wiseass commentary about his Indian heritage, defining and defying stereotypes, is exceptional. The Calm Before the Storm is a vital and vibrant comedy album, any way you slice it. You can't tell Kabeezy nothing! The comedian speaks his truth which is boldly flagrant in the face of respectability. Singh is a force. He lowers his shoulder and ignores caution, wielding his sense of humor like a battering ram. The Calm Before the Storm features conflict at its center. Kabir "Kabeezy" Singh is serene and supremely talented at managing the chaos. The album has a laundry list of antagonists - disapproving mothers, Siri, grammar, money, driverless cars - looking to knock the comedian off his game. When things get rowdy, Kabir commands the crowd like a captain of a booze cruise, keeping everybody engaged but in check. Just when you think it's safe, Kabir Singh flies fearlessly into a joke so audacious the audience gasps in shock before laughing hysterically, gasping for air. Prepare to be blown away!  Kabir "Kabeezy" Singh is one of the fastest rising comedians in the nation. A high-energy, crowd-pleasing comic with an in-your-face attitude and razor-sharp wit, he is performing to sold-out crowds across the US and internationally. He was one of the select comedians to perform opening weekend at Jimmy Kimmel's new comedy ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kabir Kabeezy Singh.
