FUNDAMENTALS AND METHODS OF MACHINE AND DEEP LEARNINGThe book provides a practical approach by explaining the concepts of machine learning and deep learning algorithms, evaluation of methodology advances, and algorithm demonstrations with applications.Over the past two decades, the field of machine learning and its subfield deep learning have played a main role in software applications development. Also, in recent research studies, they are regarded as one of the disruptive technologies that will transform our future life, business, and the global economy. The recent explosion of digital data in a wide variety of domains, including science, engineering, Internet of Things, biomedical, healthcare, and many business sectors, has declared the era of big data, which cannot be analysed by classical statistics but by the more modern, robust machine learning and deep learning techniques. Since machine learning learns from data rather than by programming hard-coded decision rules, an attempt is being made to use machine learning to make computers that are able to solve problems like human experts in the field.The goal of this book is to present a??practical approach by explaining the concepts of machine learning and deep learning algorithms with applications. Supervised machine learning algorithms, ensemble machine learning algorithms, feature selection, deep learning techniques, and their applications are discussed. Also included in the eighteen chapters is unique information which provides a clear understanding of concepts by using algorithms and case studies illustrated with applications of machine learning and deep learning in different domains, including disease prediction, software defect prediction, online television analysis, medical image processing, etc. Each of the chapters briefly described below provides both a chosen approach and its implementation.AudienceResearchers and engineers in artificial intelligence, computer scientists as well as software developers.

Realise the full benefits potential from your change projectsFor most managers in steering committees of PMOs (Project Management Office) most projects are costly in both time and money, and they often only reach a fraction of the expected benefits.In Benefits Realisation: The Change-Driven Approach to Project Success, renowned benefits realisation expert, speaker, and consultant Rasmus Rytter introduces a new approach to change projects where benefits realisation defines the design of the project and how it's led. Once the project's benefits have been defined, the key question for the project to answer is: 'How might we help our colleagues change their behaviour? Thus, identifying behavioural change as the key driver of benefit realisation.Step by step, the book guides you on how to approach both benefit realisation and behavioural change, as well as explain how it builds on the project and portfolio practices (or SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework)) you are already using.Benefits Realisation also offers:* Elaborate real-life case studies and examples that show the application of the new approach to benefits realisation and change on different projects* Easy to use posters, playbooks, and facilitation guides for the most important activities and workshops* Effective strategies for using benefits realisation to minimise project cost* Compelling possibilities for executives to make far better strategic prioritization decisions based on credible data for project benefits and the real cost of changePerfect for project managers, change managers, PMO professionals, and managers using agile frameworks, Benefits Realisation will also earn a place in the libraries of executives and other business leaders at all levels of your organisation.
