"The authors’ clear visual style provides a comprehensive look at what’s currently possible with artificial neural networks as well as a glimpse of the magic that’s to come." – Tim Urban, author of Wait But Why Fully Practical, Insightful Guide to Modern Deep Learning Deep learning is transforming software, facilitating powerful new artificial intelligence capabilities, and driving unprecedented algorithm performance. Deep Learning Illustrated is uniquely intuitive and offers a complete introduction to the discipline’s techniques. Packed with full-color figures and easy-to-follow code, it sweeps away the complexity of building deep learning models, making the subject approachable a...
Simply stated, this book bridges the gap between statistics and philosophy. It does this by delineating the conceptual cores of various statistical methodologies (Bayesian/frequentist statistics, model selection, machine learning, causal inference, etc.) and drawing out their philosophical implications. Portraying statistical inference as an epistemic endeavor to justify hypotheses about a probabilistic model of a given empirical problem, the book explains the role of ontological, semantic, and epistemological assumptions that make such inductive inference possible. From this perspective, various statistical methodologies are characterized by their epistemological nature: Bayesian statistics...
'A forensic, riveting account of a wondrous and principled advocate' Philippe Sands 'Well-written, deeply researched and wholly gripping' The Spectator 'Meticulously researched' The Times 'Kentridge is one of many lawyers to whom I will forever be in debt, and whose everyday fights against injustice should inspire us all' David Lammy Sydney Kentridge carved out a reputation as South Africa's most prominent anti-apartheid advocate - his story is entwined with the country's emergence from racial injustice and oppression. He is the only advocate to have acted for three winners of the Nobel Peace Prize - Nelson Mandela, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Chief Albert Lutuli. Already world-famous for his landmark cases including the Treason Trial of Nelson Mandela and the other leading members of the ANC, the inquiry into the Sharpeville massacre, and the inquest into the death of Steve Biko, he then became England's premier advocate. Through the great set-pieces of the legal struggle against apartheid - cases which made the headlines not just in South Africa, but across the world - this biography is a portrait of enduring moral stature.

Desinformation, Identitätsmissbrauch, Facial Reenactment, Face Morphing, Face Swapping, Gesichtsgeneration, Full Body Puppetry, Deepfake-Audio Die Imitation von Stimmen und Gesichtern mittels neuer KI-Technologien wird zunehmend einfacher – und die Resultate sind schon heute kaum mehr von echten Stimmen und Gesichtern zu unterscheiden. Diese Technologien bieten viele kreative und innovative Nutzungspotenziale, sowohl für Privatnutzende als auch für verschiedene Wirtschaftsbereiche. Andererseits sind Deepfake-Videos und Deepfake-Audios auch Quell zahlreicher Risiken: Sie können z.B. politische Desinformation vereinfachen, Mobbing Vorschub leisten und kriminelle Aktivitäten begünstigen...
