Automated Taxonomy Discovery and Exploration (Synthesis Lectures on Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery)


Free Download Automated Taxonomy Discovery and Exploration (Synthesis Lectures on Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery) by Jiaming Shen, Jiawei Han
English | September 29, 2022 | ISBN: 3031114043 | 114 pages | MOBI | 10 Mb
This book provides a principled data-driven framework that progressively constructs, enriches, and applies taxonomies without leveraging massive human annotated data. Traditionally, people construct domain-specific taxonomies by extensive manual curations, which is time-consuming and costly. In today’s information era, people are inundated with the vast amounts of text data. Despite their usefulness, people haven’t yet exploited the full power of taxonomies due to the heavy curation needed for creating and maintaining them. To bridge this gap, the authors discuss automated taxonomy discovery and exploration, with an emphasis on label-efficient machine learning methods and their real-world usages. Taxonomy organizes entities and concepts in a hierarchy way. It is ubiquitous in our daily life, ranging from product taxonomies used by online retailers, topic taxonomies deployed by news outlets and social media, as well as scientific taxonomies deployed by digital libraries across various domains. When properly analyzed, these taxonomies can play a vital role for science, engineering, business intelligence, policy design, e-commerce, and more. Intuitive examples are used throughout enabling readers to grasp concepts more easily.

Automated Valet Parking Systeme (AVPS) entbinden den Fahrer vom Parkprozess. Wegen der einfachen Verkehrsregeln und der geringen Geschwindigkeiten auf Parkplätzen sind AVPS prädestiniert als erstes kommerzielles Assistenzsystem des SAE Level 4. Viele der heute bekannten Systeme setzen auf eine Kombination aus Sensoren aktueller Fahrzeuge mit Sensoren der Infrastruktur. Zu diesem Zweck werden Parkanlagen mit umfassender Sensorik ausgestattet, um die Fahrzeuge bei der Umgebungserfassung und Routenplanung zu unterstützen. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist der Entwurf eines AVPS, welches einen minimalen Aufwand für die Erweiterung der Infrastruktur erfordert und aktuelle Fahrzeugtechnik verwendet. Hierfür werden zunächst Grundlagen beschrieben, um die Funktionsweise und den Nutzen von AVPS zu beleuchten. Anschließend wird das System mithilfe passender Diagramme entworfen und eingegrenzt. Die abschließende Darstellung von Simulationsergebnissen zeigt, ob die geforderten Funktionalitäten umgesetzt werden konnten. Der Arbeit stellt dar, dass die Parkanlage nur um eine Kommunikationsmöglichkeit erweitert werden muss, um ein sicheres und rentables AVPS zu entwickeln.

Governmental Automated Decision-Making and Human Rights Reconciling Law and Intelligent Systems


Free Download Governmental Automated Decision-Making and Human Rights: Reconciling Law and Intelligent Systems by Stefan Schäferling
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 312 Pages | ISBN : 3031481240 | 6.8 MB
With the growing capabilities of artificial intelligence, governments are integrating AI technologies into administrative and even judicial decision-making, aiding and in some cases even replacing human decision-makers. Predictive policing, automated benefits administration, and automated risk assessment in criminal sentencing are but a few prominent examples of a general trend. While the turn towards governmental automated decision-making promises to reduce the impact of human biases and produce efficiency gains, reducing the human element in governmental decision-making also entails significant risks. This book analyses these risks through a comparative constitutional law and human rights lens, examining US law, German law, and international human rights law. It also highlights the structural challenges that automation poses for legal systems built on the assumption of exclusively human decision-making. Special attention is paid to the question whether existing law can adequately address the lack of transparency in governmental automated decision-making, its discriminatory processes and outcomes, as well as its fundamental challenge to human agency. Building on that analysis, it proposes a path towards securing the values of human dignity and agency at the heart of democratic societies and the rule of law in an increasingly automated world. This book will be of interest to researchers and scholars focusing on the evolving relationship of law and technology as well as human rights scholars. Further, it represents a valuable contribution to the debate on the regulation of artificial intelligence and the role human rights can play in that process.

Connected and Automated Vehicles Integrating Engineering and Ethics


Free Download Connected and Automated Vehicles: Integrating Engineering and Ethics
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031399900 | 381 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 4.2 MB
This book reports on theoretical and practical analyses of the ethical challenges connected to driving automation. It also aims at discussing issues that have arisen from the European Commission 2020 report "Ethics of Connected and Automated Vehicles. Recommendations on Road Safety, Privacy, Fairness, Explainability and Responsibility". Gathering contributions by philosophers, social scientists, mechanical engineers, and UI designers, the book discusses key ethical concerns relating to responsibility and personal autonomy, privacy, safety, and cybersecurity, as well as explainability and human-machine interaction. On the one hand, it examines these issues from a theoretical, normative point of view. On the other hand, it proposes practical strategies to face the most urgent ethical problems, showing how the integration of ethics and technology can be achieved through design practices. All in all, this book fosters a multidisciplinary approach where philosophy, ethics, and engineering are integrated, rather than just juxtaposed. It is meant to inform and inspire an audience of philosophers of technology, ethicists, engineers, developers, manufacturers, and regulators, among other interested readers.
