"Exploring the World – Europe & America" presents in a bilingual English-Chinese edition, from a Chinese perspective, a synthetic profile of 9 countries (United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Russia, United States, Canada, Mexico) in the fields of arts and culture, gastronomy or sports.

Over the past few decades, the field of machine learning has made remarkable strides, surpassing human performance in tasks like voice and object recognition, as well as mastering various complex games. Despite these accomplishments, a critical challenge remains: the absence of general intelligence. Achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI) requires the development of learning agents that can continually adapt and learn throughout their existence, a concept known as lifelong learning...

Biologists are stepping up their efforts in understanding the biological processes that underlie disease pathways in the clinical contexts. This has resulted in a flood of biological and clinical data from genomic and protein sequences, DNA microarrays, protein interactions, biomedical images, to disease pathways and electronic health records. To exploit these data for discovering new knowledge that can be translated into clinical applications, there are fundamental data analysis difficult...

Deep Learning has achieved great success in many challenging research areas, such as image recognition and natural language processing. The key merit of deep learning is to automatically learn good feature representation from massive data conceptually. In this book, we will show that the deep learning technology can be a very good candidate for improving sensing capabilities.In this edited volume, we aim to narrow the gap between humans and machines by showcasing various deep learning appl...
