• Sommario/riassunto: With the emergence of revolutionary technological standards such as 5G and Industry 4.0, real time applications which require both cloud computing and machine learning are becoming increasingly common. Examples of such applications include real-time scheduling and resource allocation in cloud radio access networks, real-time process monitoring and control in industrial Internet of Things, network traffic analysis, short-term weather forecasting, and robotics. Given the increase in such applications, several cloud service providers such as Microsoft Azure Machine Learning, IBM Watson, and Google AI have started incorporating Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications on their platforms as well as providing Analytics as a Service. While it is now simple for users to deploy AI or machine learning algorithms using these cloud platforms, researchers from academia and industry can also develop their own machine learning applications and run them on these platforms to benefit from high processing power and global deploy ability. The main purpose of this book is to provide in-depth coverage of the programming methodologies and configurations required in developing real-time applications that require machine learning algorithms to be hosted on cloud computing platforms to leverage storage and computing resources. The real-time applications developed target network traffic analysis and weather forecasting systems. Several machine learning algorithms, namely multiple linear regression, K-Nearest-Neighbours, Multi-Layer-Perceptron, and Convolutional Neural Networks have been employed in the analysis. The programming languages used include Java, Javascript, HTML5 and MATLAB. Moreover, the Netbeans, Eclipse and Android studio IDEs have been used for developing desktop, web, and mobile apps as well as servlets. The use of several Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to develop the desktop, mobile, and web apps have been fully elaborated. The main cloud platform used for the network analysis and weather forecasting systems is the IBM cloud, but Google Firebase, along with Node.js, have also been used in other examples of machine learning applications described in the book. In addition to hosting and running applications on the cloud, the setting up of local servers that ; can act as fog devices, using client-server sockets and network programming methodologies, has also been explained in detail. With detailed explanations on all fundamental concepts, programming techniques, and configuration steps in developing cloud hosted machine learning applications, this book will provide excellent guidance and a full hands-on experience to researchers, professionals and students working in this field.

• Sommario/riassunto: Colorado, 1864. Jude Star, un giovane Cheyenne sopravvissuto al massacro di Sand Creek, viene mandato nella prigione di Fort Marion, dove è costretto a imparare l'inglese e a praticare il cristianesimo da Richard Henry Pratt, una guardia carceraria evangelica che fonderà la Carlisle Indian Industrial School, un'istituzione dedicata allo sradicamento della storia, della cultura e dell'identità dei nativi. Una generazione dopo, il figlio di Star, Charles, che frequenta quella scuola, viene brutalizzato dall'uomo che era stato il carceriere di suo padre. Per sopravvivere ai maltrattamenti di Pratt, Charles si aggrappa ai momenti che condivide con una giovane compagna di studi, Opal Viola, con la quale prova a immaginarsi un futuro lontano dalla violenza istituzionale che si accanisce sui nativi superstiti. Diverse generazioni dopo, nel 2018, a Oakland, Opal Viola Victoria Bear Shield è impegnata nell'ardua impresa di tenere insieme la propria famiglia, dopo la sparatoria che ha ; quasi ucciso suo nipote Orvil. Il ragazzo convalescente in breve diventa dipendente dai farmaci prescritti per alleviare il trauma fisico. Suo fratello minore, Lony, che soffre di disturbi post-traumatici, cerca di dare un senso alla carneficina a cui ha assistito tagliandosi di nascosto e mettendo in atto rituali di sangue che pensa possano riavvicinarlo al suo retaggio Cheyenne. Anche Opal è ormai alla deriva e decide di sperimentare cerimonie rituali e il peyote, nella speranza di trovare un modo per guarire la sua famiglia ferita. In questo romanzo, che costituisce una sorta di sequel/prequel di "Non qui, non altrove", Tommy Orange ripercorre una serie di vicende che partono dal massacro del Sand Creek del 1864, passano per le violenze della Carlisle Indian Industrial School, e arrivano fino a oggi. Questa costellazione di narrazioni al passato e al futuro fa emergere una storia ora sconvolgente ora meravigliosa. Un libro poetico, pieno di dolore e di rabbia, ma, soprattutto, un devastante atto d'accusa contro la guerra dell'America al suo stesso popolo. (Fonte: editore)
