Wireless AI - Wireless Sensing, Positioning, IoT, and Communications

Wireless AI
Wireless Sensing, Positioning, IoT, and Communications

With this groundbreaking text, discover how wireless artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to determine position at centimeter level, sense motion and vital signs, and identify events and people. Using a highly innovative approach that employs existing wireless equipment and signal processing techniques to turn multipaths into virtual antennas, combined with the physical principle of time reversal and machine learning, it covers fundamental theory, extensive experimental results, and real practical use cases developed for products and applications...

Providing a unified framework for wireless AI, this is an excellent text for graduate students, researchers, and professionals working in wireless sensing, positioning, IoT, machine learning, signal processing and wireless communications.

• The first book to explain how wireless artificial intelligence (AI) techniques can be used to determine the position, motion, and identity of objects and people
• Provides a unified framework for wireless AI
• Covers theory, experimental results, and applications

Scaling up Machine Learning - Parallel and Distributed Approaches

Scaling up Machine Learning
Parallel and Distributed Approaches

This book presents an integrated collection of representative approaches for scaling up machine learning and data mining methods on parallel and distributed computing platforms. Demand for parallelizing learning algorithms is highly task-specific: in some settings it is driven by the enormous dataset sizes, in others by model complexity or by real-time performance requirements...

Extensive coverage of parallelization of boosted trees, SVMs, spectral clustering, belief propagation and other popular learning algorithms, and deep dives into several applications, make the book equally useful for researchers, students and practitioners.

• A comprehensive view of modern machine learning, covering most of the contemporary research on large-scale problems
• Presents methods for scaling up a wide array of learning tasks, including classification, clustering, regression and feature selection
• Shows how to run state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms, such as boosted decision trees and SVMs, on multiple parallel-computing platforms

Human-Robot Interaction - An Introduction  

Human-Robot Interaction
An Introduction

The role of robots in society keeps expanding and diversifying, bringing with it a host of issues surrounding the relationship between robots and humans. This introduction to human-robot interaction (HRI), written by leading researchers in this developing field, is the first to provide a broad overview of the multidisciplinary topics central to modern HRI research...

Self-contained chapters discuss a wide range of topics, including the different communication modalities such as speech and language, non-verbal communication and the processing of emotions, as well as ethical issues around the application of robots today and in the context of our future society.

• Minimal prerequisites and modular presentation enable courses to be tailored to fit students with different backgrounds
• Discussion questions and relevant literature at the end of each chapter contribute to deeper conversations in and outside the classroom
• Over ninety color illustrations showcase the history and most recent developments in human-robot interaction

Publication planned for: April 2020

Robotica - Speech Rights and Artificial Intelligence

Robotica
Speech Rights and Artificial Intelligence

In every era of communications technology - whether print, radio, television, or Internet - some form of government censorship follows to regulate the medium and its messages. Today we are seeing the phenomenon of 'machine speech' enhanced by the development of sophisticated artificial intelligence...

Robotica is the first book to develop the legal arguments for these purposes. Aimed at law and communication scholars, lawyers, and free speech activists, this work explores important new problems and solutions at the interface of law and technology.

• Offers a new theory of First Amendment speech rights that covers robotic expression
• Describes the evolution of communications technologies and government efforts to censor them
• Proposes a First Amendment theory of utility to justify protection for robotic expression
