Neuroscience for Artificial Intelligence
Book information
Description
The ongoing boom of applications for artificial intelligence (AI) is based on algorithms that were inspired by neuroscience discoveries in the 1960s. This is a timely book to introduce the new discoveries and ideas in neuroscience, for the next wave of more powerful AI. AI researchers are all interested in the human brain, which is more capable and energy-efficient, but do not have good reading materials from the rather separate subfields of neuroscience, all with plenty of jargons. Based on hundreds of publications from top journals, the book fills in the gap between existing computational hardware/algorithms and emerging knowledge from neuroscience.

Professional Linux kernel architecture ''Wrox programmer to programmer''--Cover. - ''What you are reading right now is the result of an evolution over more than seven years: After two years of writing, the first edition was published in German by Carl Hanser Verlag in 2003. It then described kernel 2.6.0. The test was used as a basis for the low-level design documentation for the EAL4+ security evaluation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, requiring to update it to kernel 2.6.18 (if the EAL acronym does not mean anything to you, then Wikipedia is once more your friend). Hewlett-Packard sponsored the translation into English and has, thankfully, granted the rights to publish the result. Updates to kernel 2.6.24 were then performed specifically for this book''--P. ix
