N's adventures continue in this second volume. After defeating the Devil, the Empress of the Underwasteland finds herself facing a group of elves in search of a new homeland. Unlive or undead? Don't mind, the catastrophic awakening of an ancient undead brings an end to the eons of the dungeon as we know it.

The Underwasteland is the hell at the edge of the universe. In the house in the middle of an ash desert, N inherits the title of [Empress] of the Underwasteland. Her tasks are as important as they are monotonous: judging the deceased and taking care of the immense dungeon in which they rest. N's life is boring and lonely until a [hero] offers her an umbrella. "When the time comes, avenge me" is what he asks in return. Between colorful encounters and difficult moments, N must complete at le...

General Ashavi Kaur was the world's most ruthless mercenary commander… and now she is dead.Left behind is a magical clone created by Ashavi: identical to her in every way, meant to replace her in the event of her demise. Except the clone has different ideas. She means to forge her own path, write her own script—but the dead general's enemies are numberless; they'll stop at nothing to ensure she's gone for good.The clone—the new Ashavi Kaur—must marshal every resource to sur...

With an evolutionary advancement of Machine Learning (ML) algorithms, a rapid increase of data volumes and a significant improvement of computation powers, machine learning becomes hot in different applications. However, because of the nature of “black-box” in ML methods, ML still needs to be interpreted to link human and machine learning for transparency and user acceptance of delivered solutions. This edited book addresses such links from the perspectives of visualisation, explanation, t...
