Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book will show how generative technology works and the drivers. It will also look at the applications - showing what various startupsand large companies are doing in the space.There will also be a look at the challenges and risk factors.During the past decade, companies have spent billions on AI. But the focus has been on applying the technology to predictions - which is known as analytical AI. It can mean that you receive TikTok videos that you cannot resist. Or analytical AI can fend against spam or fraud or forecast when a package will be delivered. While such things are beneficial, there is much more to AI. The next megatrend will be leveraging the technology to be creative. For example, you could take a book and an AI model will turn it into a movie - at very little cost. This is all part of generative AI. It's still in the nascent stages but it is progressing quickly. Generative AI can already create engaging blog posts, social media messages, beautiful artwork and compelling videos.The potential for this technology is enormous. It will be useful for many categories like sales, marketing, legal, product design, code generation, and even pharmaceutical creation.What You Will LearnThe importance of understanding generative AIThe fundamentals of the technology, like the foundation and diffusion modelsHow generative AI apps workHow generative AI will impact various categories like the law, marketing/sales, gaming, product development, and code generation.The risks, downsides and challenges.Who This Book is ForProfessionals that do not have a technical background.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Master functions and discover how to write functional programs in R. In this book, updated for R 4, you'll learn to make your functions pure by avoiding side effects, write functions that manipulate other functions, and construct complex functions using simpler functions as building blocks.In Functional Programming in R 4, you'll see how to replace loops, which can have side-effects, with recursive functions that can more easily avoid them. In addition, the book covers why you shouldn't use recursion when loops are more efficient and how you can get the best of both worlds.Functional programming is a style of programming, like object-oriented programming, but one that focuses on data transformations and calculations rather than objects and state. Where in object-oriented programming you model your programs by describing which states an object can be in and how methods will reveal or modify that state, in functional programming you model programs by describing how functions translate input data to output data. Functions themselves are considered to be data you can manipulate and much of the strength of functional programming comes from manipulating functions; that is, building more complex functions by combining simpler functions.What You'll LearnWrite functions in R 4, including infix operators and replacement functionsCreate higher order functionsPass functions to other functions and start using functions as data you can manipulateUse Filer, Map and Reduce functions to express the intent behind code clearly and safelyBuild new functions from existing functions without necessarily writing any new functions, using point-free programmingCreate functions that carry data along with themWho This Book Is ForThose with at least some experience with programming in R. 172 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Understand the fundamentals of Bxdf plugins for RenderMan® 21+, both the technical details and API architecture. The main goal of the book is to enable technical artists, hobbyists, and students in using the noncommercial (NCR), free RenderMan® edition.RenderMan® is an industry standard for rendering software. It has been used for every Pixar film to date and numerous other projects. RenderMan® 21, and all subsequent versions, use Monte Carlo path tracing. This change has necessitated the use of C++ plugins in place of the RenderMan Shader Language (RSL). Because of this, writing Bxdfs now requires knowledge of Monte Carlo integration, probability density functions, and the RenderMan® C++ API.Essential Guide to RenderMan® Shading Plugin Development specifically addresses writing RenderMan® C++ materials. It explores the mathematical models of representative Bxdfs while drawing parallels, when helpful, to earlier RSL implementations. It also includes an overview of Integrators, providing further context for modern RenderMan® programmable shading.What You Will LearnC++ development for BxdfsFundamentals of the rendering equationMonte Carlo integrationWho Is This Book ForBeginner plugin writers for RenderMan®, such as technical artists, students, or hobbyists who may already have experience with RSL or another shader language. More experienced C++ developers without knowledge of RenderMan® or Monte Carlo path tracing will benefit from the content as well. While some prior experience in computer graphics is helpful, the book provides background and references for further study. 152 pp. Englisch.
