    From flat files to deconstructed databases : The evolution and future of the big data ecosystem (2019)

    Abstract: Over the past 10 years, big data infrastructure has evolved from flat files in a distributed filesystem to an efficient ecosystem to a fully deconstructed and open source database with reusable components. With Hadoop, we started from a system that was good at looking for a needle in a haystack using snowplows. We had a lot of horsepower and scalability but lacked the subtlety and efficiency of relational databases. But since Hadoop provided the ultimate flexibility compared to the more constrained and rigid RDBMSs, we didn’t mind and plowed through. However, machine learning, recommendations, matching, abuse detection, and data-driven products in general require a more flexible infrastructure. Over time, we started applying everything that had been known to the database world for decades to this new environment. We’d been told loud enough how Hadoop was a huge step backward. And it was true to some degree. The key difference was the flexibility of the Hadoop stack. There are many highly integrated components in a relational database and decoupling them took some time. Today, we see the emergence of key components, such as optimizers, columnar storage, in-memory representation, table abstraction, and batch and streaming execution, as standards that provide the glue between the options available to process, analyze, and learn from our data. We’ve been deconstructing the tightly integrated relational database into flexible reusable open source components. Storage, compute, multitenancy, and batch or streaming execution are all decoupled and can be modified independently to fit every use case. Julien Le Dem (WeWork) discusses the key open source components of the big data ecosystem—including Apache Calcite, Parquet, Arrow, Avro, and Kafka as well as batch and streaming systems—and explains how they relate to each other and how they make the ecosystem more of a database and less of a filesystem. (Parquet is the columnar data layout to optimize data at rest for querying. Arrow is the in-memory representation for maximum throughput execution and overhead-free data exchange. Calcite is the optimizer to make the most of our infrastructure capabilities.) Julien also explores the emerging components that are still missing or haven’t become standard yet to fully materialize the transformation to an extremely flexible database that lets you innovate with your data. This session was recorded at the 2019 O'Reilly Strata Data Conference in San Francisco.

    Abstract: In many industrial ML applications, feature engineering consumes the lion’s share of time, energy, and resources. Deep learning promises to replace feature engineering with models that learn end to end from “close-to-reality” data and has convincingly realized this promise for computer vision and natural language processing. But does this promise apply outside of these domains? Pamela Vagata (Stripe) explains how Stripe has applied deep learning techniques to predict fraud from raw behavioral data. Since fraud detection is a critical business problem for Stripe, the company already had a well-tuned feature-engineered model for comparison. Stripe found that the deep learning model outperforms the feature-engineered model both on predictive performance and in the effort spent on data engineering, model construction, tuning, and maintenance. Join in to discover how common industry practice could shift toward deeper models trained end to end and away from labor-intensive feature engineering. This session was recorded at the 2019 O'Reilly Artificial Intelligence Conference in New York.

    Abstract: Military Recruiting is a war. It’s just a different kind of war than what you were prepared and trained to fight for. Recruiting is a war for talent. Smart, competent, and capable people are rare and in high demand. Every organization, from commercial enterprises, healthcare, non-profit, sports, and education, to the military is in an outright battle to recruit and retain these bright and talented people. Rather than bullets and bombs, the war for talent is won through high-impact prospecting activity, time discipline, intellectual agility, emotional intelligence, and human to human relationships. On this highly competitive, ever changing, asymmetrical battlefield, to win, you must operate at a level of excellence beyond anything asked of military recruiters before. Yet, in this new paradigm, many recruiters are struggling, and most recruiting units are staring down the barrel at 50 percent or more of their recruiters consistently missing Mission. It is imperative that we arm military recruiters with the skills they need to win in this challenging environment. The failure to make Mission is an existential threat to the strength and readiness of America’s fighting forces and our democracy. Fanatical Military Recruiting begins where the Recruiting and Retention colleges of the various branches of the military leave off. It is an advanced, master’s level training resource designed specifically for the unique demands of Military Recruiting. In FMR , you’ll learn: The Single Most Important Discipline in Military Recruiting How to Get Out of a Recruiting Slump The 30-Day Rule and Law of Replacement Powerful Time and Territory Management Strategies that Put You in Control of Your Day The 7 Step Telephone Prospecting Framework The 4 Step Email and Direct Messaging Framework The 5 C’s of Social Recruiting The 7 Step Text Message Prospecting Framework How to Leverage a Balanced Prospecting Methodology to Keep the Funnel Full of Qualified Applicants Powerful Human Influence Frameworks that Reduce Resistance and Objections The 3 Step Prospecting Objection Turn-Around Framework Mission Drive and the 5 Disciplines of Ultra-High Performing Military Recruiters In his signature right-to-the-point style that has made him the go-to trainer to a who’s who of the world’s most prestigious organizations, Jeb Blount pulls no punches. He slaps you in the face with the cold, hard truth about what’s really holding you back. Then, he pulls you in with stories, examples, ...

    Abstract: We never change the amount of work or technical debt; we just shift it, and with it, we change how it emerges and appears. Our systems don’t have to be perfect to be operational—planes, networks, and elite athletes all function at extremely high levels even though they are not operating at 100%. As an industry, we have moved the locus of control from hardware to operating system to virtual machine to container to orchestration, and now we’re approaching serverless. None of that has reduced the amount of work you have to do; it just makes it so you can reuse and conceptually compress the work of others. Since we’re making the work in our tools less visible, we also have less control over how they work. We assume the promises that have been true will continue to be true, but that isn’t in our control. Heidi Waterhouse (LaunchDarkly) explains how to handle this level of uncertainty. You’ll learn to add in error budgets, layered access, and other accommodations for failure and to design your systems for function over form or purity. You’ll leave with some concrete ideas about how to add resiliency to your system by learning to trust but mitigate your reliance on perfect performance of your underlying tools. This session was recorded at the 2019 O'Reilly Velocity Conference in San Jose.

    Abstract: Offers timely and comprehensive coverage of dynamic system reliability theory This book focuses on hot issues of dynamic system reliability, systematically introducing the reliability modeling and analysis methods for systems with imperfect fault coverage, systems with function dependence, systems subject to deterministic or probabilistic common-cause failures, systems subject to deterministic or probabilistic competing failures, and dynamic standby sparing systems. It presents recent developments of such extensions involving reliability modelling theory, reliability evaluation methods, and features numerous case studies based on real-world examples. The presented dynamic reliability theory can enable a more accurate representation of actual complex system behavior, thus more effectively guiding the reliable design of real-world critical systems. Dynamic System Reliability: Modelling and Analysis of Dynamic and Dependent Behaviors begins by describing the evolution from the traditional static reliability theory to the dynamic system reliability theory, and provides a detailed investigation of dynamic and dependent behaviors in subsequent chapters. Although written for those with a background in basic probability theory and stochastic processes, the book includes a chapter reviewing the fundamentals that readers need to know in order to understand contents of other chapters which cover advanced topics in reliability theory and case studies. The first book systematically focusing on dynamic system reliability modelling and analysis theory Provides a comprehensive treatment on imperfect fault coverage (single-level/multi-level or modular), function dependence, common cause failures (deterministic and probabilistic), competing failures (deterministic and probabilistic), and dynamic standby sparing Includes abundant illustrative examples and case studies based on real-world systems Covers recent advances in combinatorial models and algorithms for dynamic system reliability analysis Offers a rich set of references, providing helpful resources for readers to pursue further research and study of the topics Dynamic System Reliability: Modelling and Analysis of Dynamic and Dependent Behaviors is an excellent book for undergraduate and graduate students, and engineers and researchers in reliability and related disciplines.

    Abstract: In his best-selling book Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture , Martin Fowler famously coined the first law of distributed computing—"Don’t distribute your objects"—implying that working with this style of architecture can be challenging. A few years ago, Barclays embarked on a journey to migrate its legacy services with the objective of achieving a high level of scale, resilience, and reliability, mainly employing an ecosystem of focused, distributed services. It’s fair to say that the company has discovered through firsthand experience that there’s quite a bit of truth to that statement. Prem Chandrasekaran provides an insider scoop on Barclays’s journey deploying services to a private cloud-based infrastructure making use of foundational patterns such as domain-driven design, event-driven architecture (EDA), command query responsibility segregation (CQRS), and event sourcing, among others. Prem recounts some of the challenges faced during the transformation and sheds light on the things that worked well and those that didn’t. Topics include: How to establish buy-in with senior stakeholders and management How to recruit, onboard, and train new team members How to establish the boundaries of your teams and services How to focus on the right amount and kinds of tests in your pipelines How to ensure database and API compatibility How to centralize and externalize secrets and configuration How to diagnose and pinpoint issues in unattended, asynchronous processes How to decide between blue-green and rolling deployments How to work with private and public cloud implementations This session was recorded at the 2019 O'Reilly Software Architecture Conference in New York.

    Abstract: Recommender systems support the decision making processes of customers with personalized suggestions. These widely used systems influence the daily life of almost everyone across domains like ecommerce, social media, and entertainment. However, the efficient generation of relevant recommendations in large-scale systems is a very complex task. In order to provide personalization, engines and algorithms need to capture users’ varying tastes and find mostly nonlinear dependencies between them and a multitude of items. Enormous data sparsity and ambitious real-time requirements further complicate this challenge. At the same time, deep learning has been proven to solve complex tasks like object or speech recognition where traditional machine learning failed or showed mediocre performance. Join Marcel Kurovski (inovex) to explore a use case for vehicle recommendations at mobile.de, Germany’s biggest online vehicle market. Marcel shares a novel regularization technique for the optimization criterion and evaluates it against various baselines. To achieve high scalability, he combines this method with strategies for efficient candidate generation based on user and item embeddings—providing a holistic solution for candidate generation and ranking. The proposed approach outperforms collaborative filtering and hybrid collaborative-content-based filtering by 73% and 143% for MAP5. It also scales well for millions of items and users returning recommendations in tens of milliseconds. This session was recorded at the 2019 O'Reilly Artificial Intelligence Conference in New York.

    Abstract: Human attention is in the highest demand it has ever been. The drastic increase in available information has compelled individuals to find a way to sift through the media that is literally at their fingertips. Content recommendation systems have emerged as the technological solution to this social and informational problem, but they’ve also created a bigger crisis in confirming our biases by showing us only, and exactly, what it predicts we want to see. Data versus Democracy investigates and explores how, in the era of social media, human cognition, algorithmic recommendation systems, and human psychology are all working together to reinforce (and exaggerate) human bias. The dangerous confluence of these factors is driving media narratives, influencing opinions, and possibly changing election results. In this book, algorithmic recommendations, clickbait, familiarity bias, propaganda, and other pivotal concepts are analyzed and then expanded upon via fascinating and timely case studies: the 2016 US presidential election, Ferguson, GamerGate, international political movements, and more events that come to affect every one of us. What are the implications of how we engage with information in the digital age? Data versus Democracy explores this topic and an abundance of related crucial questions. We live in a culture vastly different from any that has come before. In a society where engagement is currency, we are the product. Understanding the value of our attention, how organizations operate based on this concept, and how engagement can be used against our best interests is essential in responsibly equipping ourselves against the perils of disinformation. Who This Book Is For Individuals who are curious about how social media algorithms work and how they can be manipulated to influence culture. Social media managers, data scientists, data administrators, and educators will find this book particularly relevant to their work.

    Abstract: Change is the only constant; upgrades are inevitable. Believe it or not, this also applies to your database. There are many drivers for such changes, such as technology stack updates and new data center or event cloud migrations. A database migration isn’t an easy task. Preparation and execution takes time and leaves no room for mistakes. And once you start, there’s no going back. But is this the only way? Adrian Lungu and Serban Teodorescu (Adobe) explain how—inspired by the green-blue deployment technique—the Adobe Audience Manager team developed an active-passive database migration procedure that allows them to test database clusters in production, minimizing the risks without compromising the innovation. It was successfully applied twice to upgrade the entire database technology stack—but it’s never a smooth move when your databases are 200-node Cassandra clusters with hundreds of terabytes of data and downtime is not an option. The first migration was focused only on software upgrades. For the second upgrade, the team’s confidence was so high that they added a twist: a couple of more changes besides the Cassandra version—AWS instance type, operating system, disk settings, memory settings, JVM, and a few more. What could go wrong? Well. . .everything. Adrian and Serban describe the migration technique and present an extensible database client that makes all the active-passive management possible with just a configuration change. Yes, you heard it right. No code changes, just configurations. They then share a series of tales and lessons learned during the migration of over 500 Cassandra nodes. Most of the lessons aren’t Cassandra related but instead apply to hardware, drivers, operating system, or the JVM—debugging for days and searching for that metric anomaly or that log line that would give us a hint on what went wrong. Join in to see how you can avoid some of these pitfalls in your own projects. This session was recorded at the 2019 O'Reilly Strata Data Conference in San Francisco.

    Abstract: Choreographed microservices talk to each other asynchronously, blindly broadcasting notifications into a service cloud. Those notifications are handled by whatever client services are interested. These systems eliminate many of the problems associated with orchestrated systems (which work more like synchronous function calls) and are typically much faster than orchestrated systems, but they have their own idiosyncrasies and implementation challenges. Allen Holub explores the inherent problems in orchestrated systems and then looks at how choreography can solve those problems. Allen explores three approaches to choreography: HTTP based, pub/sub messaging based, and brokerless swarming systems. He introduces appropriate messaging architectures and frameworks and looks at several practical examples. Finally, Allen looks at event storming: one of the best approaches to designing choreographed systems. You’ll leave with an understanding of both why you should be using choreography for most high-level APIs and how to design and build these systems. This session was recorded at the 2019 O'Reilly Software Architecture Conference in San Jose.

    Abstract: Analytics and AI are powerful methods for extracting insights hidden in data. However, these methods by themselves cannot convey insights. Visualization is a key requirement for explaining analytical findings, but visualizations such as graphs and charts are not always enough to explain data, especially to a nontechnical audience. This audience may need a different approach to connect with the data. Nancy Rausch (SAS Institute) shares a case study for a project that combined machine learning and art to tell a big data story. She explains how she and her team collected and prepared IoT streaming data from a solar array farm, applied an analytical model to forecast future output, and then visualized the results for general audiences using interactive art. They also used artificial intelligence and natural language processing to allow visitors to interact with the art installation. The project brought solar array technology to life in a way that was able to engage and delight visitors of all ages and backgrounds. This session was recorded at the 2019 O'Reilly Strata Data Conference in San Francisco.

    Abstract: The new, fully-updated edition of the respected guide to understanding financial extremes, evaluating investment opportunities, and identifying future bubbles Now in its second edition, Boombustology is an authoritative, up-to-date guide on the history of booms, busts, and financial cycles. Engaging and accessible, this popular book helps investors, policymakers, and analysts navigate the radical uncertainty that plagues today’s uncertain investing and economic environment. Author Vikram Mansharamani, an experienced global equity investor and prominent Harvard University lecturer, presents his multi-disciplinary framework for identifying financial bubbles before they burst. Moving beyond the typical view of booms and busts as primarily economic occurrences, this innovative book offers a multidisciplinary approach that utilizes microeconomic, macroeconomic, psychological, political, and biological lenses to spot unsustainable dynamics. It gives the reader insights into the dynamics that cause soaring financial markets to crash. Cases studies range from the 17th Century Dutch tulip mania to the more recent US housing collapse. The numerous cross-currents driving today’s markets—trade wars, inverted yield curves, currency wars, economic slowdowns, dangerous debt dynamics, populism, nationalism, as well as the general uncertainties in the global economy—demand that investors, policymakers, and analysts be on the lookout for a forthcoming recession, market correction, or worse. An essential resource for anyone interested in financial markets, the second edition of Boombustology: Adopts multiple lenses to understand the dynamics of booms, busts, bubbles, manias, crashes Utilizes the common characteristics of past bubbles to assist in identifying future financial extremes Presents a set of practical indicators that point to a financial bubble, enabling readers to gauge the likelihood of an unsustainable boom Offers two new chapters that analyze the long-term prospects for Indian markets and the distortions being caused by the passive investing boom Includes a new foreword by James Grant, legendary editor of Grant's Interest Rate Observer A comprehensive exploration of how bubbles form and why they burst, Boombustology, 2nd Edition is packed with a wealth of new and updated information for individual and institutional investors, academics, students, policymakers, risk-managers, and corporate managers alike.

From there, easily digestible chapters cover, point-by-point, the different aspects of writing queries to get data out of a database. You’ll also learn about creating tables and getting data into the database. Crucial topics such as working with nulls and writing analytic queries are given the attention they deserve, helping you to avoid pitfalls when writing queries for production use. What You'll Learn Create, update, and delete tables in an Oracle database Add, update, delete data from those database tables Query and view data stored in your database Manipulate and transform data using in-built database functions and features Correctly choose when to use Oracle-specific syntax and features Who This Book Is For Those new to Oracle who are planning to develop software using Oracle as the back-end data store.

    Abstract: 14+ Hours of Video One Line Sell More than 14 hours of video instruction preparing the viewer for the AWS Associate Level Certified Developer exam by discussing and demonstrating the services included in the published blueprint of the exam, including AWS CLI & SDK, IAM, VPC, EC2, Route53 DNS, S3, DynamoDB, etc. Overview This course, “AWS Certified Developer Complete Video Course” focuses on the role-based certification, AWS Developer Associate. According to Amazon, “this exam validates proficiency in developing, deploying, and debugging cloud-based applications using AWS.” Amazon Web Services currently has over 130 individual services available for use. Each service falls into an overarching category such as compute, storage, database, networking, etc. The AWS Developer Associate focuses on those services and concepts relevant to developers using, or intending to use, AWS services to create their applications. This course covers the published blueprint for the Associate level Certified Developer exam. It’s important to note that this course is not intended to teach you to how program or develop applications. The goal is to help you understand the services that are available to run the applications you develop through live demonstration. Each lesson begins with a walk-through to provide an overview of the topic and then goes into demonstration mode. The majority of the demonstrations in this course are accomplished with a free AWS Trial Account so you can follow along. This course takes a lab-based approach to teaching you, which means we will focus on how to develop throughout the training so you can get some hands-on experience working in AWS. You will also learn about the objectives in the exam, but the emphasis is on doing so you can gain the experience needed to actually develop in AWS as well as pass the test. Each lesson has a lab-based exercise that walks you through concepts and also allows you to dive into a project. Lab files are included as downloads with the course so you can work alongside the author and work on projects." Nick Garner has co-founded an IoT company that runs entirely on AWS infrastructure that he manages. He has certifications in AWS, CEH, CISSP and 2 CCIEs (routing/switching and security). He works with Amazon Web Services design on a daily basis, particularly with respect to extending enterprise services into cloud service providers such as Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Compute.

    Abstract: Innovation and competition are driving analysts and data scientists toward increasingly complex predictive modeling and machine learning algorithms. This complexity makes these models accurate, but can also make their predictions difficult to understand. When accuracy outpaces interpretability, human trust suffers, affecting business adoption, model validation efforts, and regulatory oversight. In the updated edition of this ebook, Patrick Hall and Navdeep Gill from H2O.ai introduce the idea of machine learning interpretability and examine a set of machine learning techniques, algorithms, and models to help data scientists improve the accuracy of their predictive models while maintaining a high degree of interpretability. While some industries require model transparency, such as banking, insurance, and healthcare, machine learning practitioners in almost any vertical will likely benefit from incorporating the discussed interpretable models, and debugging, explanation, and fairness approaches into their workflow. This second edition discusses new, exact model explanation techniques, and de-emphasizes the trade-off between accuracy and interpretability. This edition also includes up-to-date information on cutting-edge interpretability techniques and new figures to illustrate the concepts of trust and understanding in machine learning models. Learn how machine learning and predictive modeling are applied in practice Understand social and commercial motivations for machine learning interpretability, fairness, accountability, and transparency Get a definition of interpretability and learn about the groups leading interpretability research Examine a taxonomy for classifying and describing interpretable machine learning approaches Gain familiarity with new and more traditional interpretable modeling approaches See numerous techniques for understanding and explaining models and predictions Read about methods to debug prediction errors, sociological bias, and security vulnerabilities in predictive models Get a feel for the techniques in action with code examples

    Abstract: Architects are leaders. We need to understand our business, our users, and our ecosystem. We need to effectively interact with our stakeholders, productively collaborate with design and product teams, and give direction and motivate our development teams. Achieving these goals requires much more than technical excellence. Seth Dobbs (Bounteous) shares a primer on leadership for architects, focusing on guiding principles that are easy to learn and put into practice. Principles cover both inward focus (personal mastery) and external focus (effective interactions) and include topics such as vision, problem solving, ownership, and conflict. Seth explores material he’s used to train team members ranging from developers and designers up into the executive level but focuses on core guiding principles specific to helping architects be more effective in their roles. Each principle will be presented first with a problem or anti-pattern, then the principle, and then examples of the principle in practice. This approach should be valuable whether you are new in a leadership role and looking to understand the “soft” skills required or have been leading for a while and want to formalize your thinking on leadership. This session was recorded at the 2019 O'Reilly Software Architecture Conference in San Jose.

    Abstract: An in-depth description of the state-of-the-art of 3D shape analysis techniques and their applications This book discusses the different topics that come under the title of "3D shape analysis". It covers the theoretical foundations and the major solutions that have been presented in the literature. It also establishes links between solutions proposed by different communities that studied 3D shape, such as mathematics and statistics, medical imaging, computer vision, and computer graphics. The first part of 3D Shape Analysis: Fundamentals, Theory, and Applications provides a review of the background concepts such as methods for the acquisition and representation of 3D geometries, and the fundamentals of geometry and topology. It specifically covers stereo matching, structured light, and intrinsic vs. extrinsic properties of shape. Parts 2 and 3 present a range of mathematical and algorithmic tools (which are used for e.g., global descriptors, keypoint detectors, local feature descriptors, and algorithms) that are commonly used for the detection, registration, recognition, classification, and retrieval of 3D objects. Both also place strong emphasis on recent techniques motivated by the spread of commodity devices for 3D acquisition. Part 4 demonstrates the use of these techniques in a selection of 3D shape analysis applications. It covers 3D face recognition, object recognition in 3D scenes, and 3D shape retrieval. It also discusses examples of semantic applications and cross domain 3D retrieval, i.e. how to retrieve 3D models using various types of modalities, e.g. sketches and/or images. The book concludes with a summary of the main ideas and discussions of the future trends. 3D Shape Analysis: Fundamentals, Theory, and Applications is an excellent reference for graduate students, researchers, and professionals in different fields of mathematics, computer science, and engineering. It is also ideal for courses in computer vision and computer graphics, as well as for those seeking 3D industrial/commercial solutions.

    Abstract: Blockchains have many uses beyond cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. These shared, distributed ledgers also enable businesses to record transactions between parties in an efficient, verifiable, and permanent manner—unlike traditional methods. Using a blockchain in business can still pose numerous challenges, however. This ebook explains how developers can establish a blockchain network to handle business-to-business transactions while maintaining privacy and confidentiality. Members of IBM’s global blockchain team show you how to start using these open, distributed ledgers to add value to your business networks. Unlike simple ledgers and contracts, blockchains offer irrefutable proof that all parties involved in a transaction agree to the details—creating a source of truth that today’s conventional business-to-business systems lack. You’ll learn: How blockchains for business provide a shared, distributed ledger with smart contracts How to identify and implement the scenarios for which blockchain is most suited What developers need to know about enterprise blockchain The important design and architectural considerations when building a blockchain-based platform How chaincode encapsulates business logic to define assets and the terms of transactions How to implement a blockchain application based on a commercial paper case study What the future holds for blockchain

    Game-Theoretic Foundations for Probability and Finance (2019)

    Abstract: Game-theoretic probability and finance come of age Glenn Shafer and Vladimir Vovk’s Probability and Finance , published in 2001, showed that perfect-information games can be used to define mathematical probability. Based on fifteen years of further research, Game-Theoretic Foundations for Probability and Finance presents a mature view of the foundational role game theory can play. Its account of probability theory opens the way to new methods of prediction and testing and makes many statistical methods more transparent and widely usable. Its contributions to finance theory include purely game-theoretic accounts of Ito’s stochastic calculus, the capital asset pricing model, the equity premium, and portfolio theory. Game-Theoretic Foundations for Probability and Finance is a book of research. It is also a teaching resource. Each chapter is supplemented with carefully designed exercises and notes relating the new theory to its historical context. Praise from early readers “Ever since Kolmogorov's Grundbegriffe , the standard mathematical treatment of probability theory has been measure-theoretic. In this ground-breaking work, Shafer and Vovk give a game-theoretic foundation instead. While being just as rigorous, the game-theoretic approach allows for vast and useful generalizations of classical measure-theoretic results, while also giving rise to new, radical ideas for prediction, statistics and mathematical finance without stochastic assumptions. The authors set out their theory in great detail, resulting in what is definitely one of the most important books on the foundations of probability to have appeared in the last few decades.” – Peter Grünwald, CWI and University of Leiden “Shafer and Vovk have thoroughly re-written their 2001 book on the game-theoretic foundations for probability and for finance. They have included an account of the tremendous growth that has occurred since, in the game-theoretic and pathwise approaches to stochastic analysis and in their applications to continuous-time finance. This new book will undoubtedly spur a better understanding of the foundations of these very important fields, and we should all be grateful to its authors.” – Ioannis Karatzas, Columbia University

    Edition: 2nd edition
    Keywords: Electronic books ; local ; Electronic books
    Abstract: Become an expert who can use window functions to solve T-SQL query problems. Replace slow cursors and self-joins with queries that are easy to write and perform better. This new edition provides expanded examples, including a chapter from the world of sports, and covers the latest performance enhancements through SQL Server 2019. Window functions are useful in analytics and business intelligence reporting. They came into full blossom with SQL Server 2012, yet they are not as well known and used as often as they ought to be. This group of functions is one of the most notable developments in SQL, and this book shows how every developer and DBA can benefit from their expressive power in solving day-to-day business problems. Once you begin using window functions, such as ROW_NUMBER and LAG, you will discover many ways to use them. You will approach SQL Server queries in a different way, thinking about sets of data instead of individual rows. Your queries will run faster, be easier to write, and easier to deconstruct, maintain, and enhance in the future. Just knowing and using these functions is not enough. You also need to understand how to tune the queries. Expert T-SQL Window Functions in SQL Server clearly explains how to get the best performance. The book also covers the rare cases when older techniques are the best bet. What You Will Learn Solve complex query problems without cumbersome self-joins that run slowly and are difficult to read Create sliding windows in a result set for computing such as running totals and moving averages Return aggregate and detail data simultaneously from the same SELECT statement Compute lag and lead and other values that access data from multiple rows in a result set Understand the OVER clause syntax and how to control the window Avoid framing errors that can lead to unexpected results Who This Book Is For Anyone who writes T-SQL queries, including database administrators, developers, business analysts, and data scientists. Before reading this book, you should understand how to join tables, write WHERE clauses, and build aggregate queries.

    Executive Briefing : Why machine-learned models crash and burn in production and what to do about it (2019)

    Abstract: Much progress has been made over the past decade on process and tooling for managing large-scale, multitier cloud apps and APIs, but there is far less common knowledge on best practices for managing machine-learned models (classifiers, forecasters, etc.), especially beyond the modeling, optimization, and deployment process once these models are in production. A key mindset shift required to address these issues is understanding that model development is different than software development in fundamental ways. David Talby (Pacific AI) shares real-world case studies showing why this is true and explains what you can do about it, covering key best practices that executives, solution architects, and delivery teams must take into account when committing to successfully deliver and operate data science-intensive systems in the real world. Topics include: Concept drift (Machine-learned models begin degrading as soon as they’re deployed and must adapt to a changing environment.) Locality and limited reuse and generalization of models A/B testing challenges, which make it very hard in practice to know which model will perform better in production Semisupervised and adversarial learning scenarios, which require modeling and optimizing models only once they’re in production The impact of all of the above on product planning, staffing, and client expectation management This session was recorded at the 2019 O'Reilly Strata Data Conference in San Francisco.

    Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil (GRS) Walls (2019)
    [Erscheinungsort nicht ermittelbar] : Wiley-Blackwell | Boston, MA : Safari

    Pages: 1 online resource (416 pages)

    Keywords: Electronic books ; local
    Abstract: The first book to provide a detailed overview of Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil Walls Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil (GRS) Walls deploy horizontal layers of closely spaced tensile inclusion in the fill material to achieve stability of a soil mass. GRS walls are more adaptable to different environmental conditions, more economical, and offer high performance in a wide range of transportation infrastructure applications. This book addresses both GRS and GMSE, with a much stronger emphasis on the former. For completeness, it begins with a review of shear strength of soils and classical earth pressure theories. It then goes on to examine the use of geosynthetics as reinforcement, and followed by the load-deformation behavior of GRS mass as a soil-geosynthetic composite, reinforcing mechanisms of GRS, and GRS walls with different types of facing. Finally, the book finishes by covering design concepts with design examples for different loading and geometric conditions, and the construction of GRS walls, including typical construction procedures and general construction guidelines. The number of GRS walls and abutments built to date is relatively low due to lack of understanding of GRS. While failure rate of GMSE has been estimated to be around 5%, failure of GRS has been found to be practically nil, with studies suggesting many advantages, including a smaller susceptibility to long-term creep and stronger resistance to seismic loads when well-compacted granular fill is employed. Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil (GRS) Walls will serve as an excellent guide or reference for wall projects such as transportation infrastructure—including roadways, bridges, retaining walls, and earth slopes—that are in dire need of repair and replacement in the U.S. and abroad. Covers both GRS and GMSE (MSE with geosynthetics as reinforcement); with much greater emphasis on GRS walls Showcases reinforcing mechanisms, engineering behavior, and design concepts of GRS and includes many step-by-step design examples Features information on typical construction procedures and general construction guidelines Includes hundreds of line drawings and photos Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil (GRS) Walls is an important book for practicing geotechnical engineers and structural engineers, as well as for advanced students of civil, structural, and geotechnical engineering.

    Abstract: Imagine a situation where your service reports as healthy and serving but you receive multiple user reports of poor availability. How are these users accessing your service? Most likely, they’re using a client application, such as a mobile phone. Traditionally, SRE has only supported systems and services running in data centers rather than code running on the client, which has impeded issue detection. This report examines the challenges of client-side reliability and provides a useful set of SRE concepts and tools you can apply to your own apps. Four site reliability engineers from Google share their experiences developing and supporting first-party native mobile applications. You’ll learn core concepts critical to engineering reliable client apps as well as phenomena unique to mobile applications and key takeaways from issues caused by or related to them, including: Designing mobile apps that are resilient to unexpected inputs Rolling out changes in a controlled, metric-driven way Monitoring apps in production by measuring critical user interactions Releasing changes using feature flags so they can be evaluated and rolled back independently Understanding and preparing for your app’s impact on servers Using practices that avoid feedback patterns between your apps and services

    Edition: 5th edition
    Keywords: Electronic books ; local ; Electronic books
    Abstract: Electric Motors and Drives: Fundamentals, Types and Applications, Fifth Edition is intended primarily for non-specialist users or students of electric motors and drives, but many researchers and specialist industrialists have also acknowledged its value in providing a clear understanding of the fundamentals. It bridges the gap between specialist textbooks (too analytical for the average user) and handbooks (full of detail but with little insight) providing an understanding of how each motor and drive system works. The fifth edition has been completely revised, updated and expanded. All of the most important types of motor and drive are covered, including d.c., induction, synchronous (including synchronous reluctance and salient Permanent Magnet), switched reluctance, and stepping. There has been significant innovation in this area since the fourth edition, particularly in the automotive, aircraft and industrial sectors, with novel motor topologies emerging, including hybrid designs that combine permanent magnet and reluctance effects. We now include a physical basis for understanding and quantifying torque production in these machines, and this leads to simple pictures that illuminate the control conditions required to optimise torque. The key converter topologies have been brought together, and the treatment of inverter switching strategies expanded. A new chapter is devoted to the treatment of Field Oriented control, reflecting its increasing importance for all a.c. motor drives. A unique physically-based approach is adopted which builds naturally on the understanding of motor behaviour developed earlier in the book: the largely non-mathematical treatment dispels much of the mystique surrounding what is often regarded as a difficult topic. Helps users acquire knowledge and understanding of the capabilities and limitations of motors and drives without struggling through unnecessary math and theory Presents updated material on the latest and most widely-used motors and drives, including brushless servo motors Includes additional diagrams and worked examples throughout this updated edition Includes a physical basis for the understanding and quantifying torque production

    Abstract: ¿Notas que cada día es más difícil vender o que los clientes están cambiando? Los teléfonos inteligentes, la geolocalización, los comparadores de precios, las facilidades logísticas, la economía colaborativa, etc. han dado más poder a los consumidores. En este contexto, los clientes demandan actitudes, acciones y responsabilidades que están lejos de los procedimientos habituales de las empresas. ¿Sabes cómo dar respuesta? Seas empresa industrial, de servicios o un profesional, es necesario que adaptes tu cultura empresarial al nuevo cliente. ¿Y qué relación tiene todo esto con el mundo del retail, del comercio en el sentido más amplio? Pues que podemos aprovechar ideas que ya están funcionando en el retail para llegar con más facilidad y acierto al cliente. Así lo vio Jacinto Llorca, conferenciante, escritor y consultor de negocio, a partir de su experiencia profesional. Observó factores de éxito y los destiló hasta crear el Código Retail, un compendio de buenas prácticas que se explican de forma ágil a lo largo del libro y se ilustran con casos reales muy interesantes, tanto del mundo analógico como del digital. https://www.librosdecabecera.com/el-codigo-retail

    Abstract: The world has become increasingly networked and unpredictable. Decision makers at all levels are required to manage the consequences of complexity every day. They must deal with problems that arise unexpectedly, generate uncertainty, are characterised by interconnectivity, and spread across traditional boundaries. Simple solutions to complex problems are usually inadequate and risk exacerbating the original issues. Leaders of international bodies such as the UN, OECD, UNESCO and WHO — and of major business, public sector, charitable, and professional organizations — have all declared that systems thinking is an essential leadership skill for managing the complexity of the economic, social and environmental issues that confront decision makers. Systems thinking must be implemented more generally, and on a wider scale, to address these issues. An evaluation of different systems methodologies suggests that they concentrate on different aspects of complexity. To be in the best position to deal with complexity, decision makers must understand the strengths and weaknesses of the various approaches and learn how to employ them in combination. This is called critical systems thinking. Making use of over 25 case studies, the book offers an account of the development of systems thinking and of major efforts to apply the approach in real-world interventions. Further, it encourages the widespread use of critical systems practice as a means of ensuring responsible leadership in a complex world. Comments on a previous version of the book: Russ Ackoff: ‘the book is the best overview of the field I have seen’ JP van Gigch: ‘Jackson does a masterful job. The book is lucid ...well written and eminently readable’ Professional Manager (Journal of the Chartered Management Institute): ‘Provides an excellent guide and introduction to systems thinking for students of management’

    Abstract: Choreographed microservices talk to each other asynchronously, blindly broadcasting notifications into a service cloud. Those notifications are handled by whatever client services are interested. These systems eliminate many of the problems associated with orchestrated systems (which work more like synchronous function calls) and are typically much faster than orchestrated systems, but they have their own idiosyncrasies and implementation challenges. Allen Holub explores the inherent problems in orchestrated systems and then looks at how choreography can solve those problems. Allen explores three approaches to choreography: HTTP based, pub/sub messaging based, and brokerless swarming systems. He introduces appropriate messaging architectures and frameworks and looks at several practical examples. Finally, Allen looks at event storming: one of the best approaches to designing choreographed systems. You’ll leave with an understanding of both why you should be using choreography for most high-level APIs and how to design and build these systems. This session was recorded at the 2019 O'Reilly Software Architecture Conference in New York.
