Description Modern NLP techniques based on machine learning radically improve the ability of software to recognize patterns, use context to infer meaning, and accurately discern intent from poorly-structured text. In Natural Language Processing in Action, readers explore carefully chosen examples and expand their machine''s knowledge which they can then apply to a range of challenges. Key Features • Easy-to-follow • Clear examples • Hands-on-guide Audience A basic understanding of machine learning and some experience with a modern programming language such as Python, Java, C++, or JavaScript will be helpful. About the technology Natural Language Processing (NLP) is the discipline of teaching computers to read more like people, and readers can see examples of it in everything from chatbots to the speech-recognition software on their phone. Hobson Lane has more than 15 years of experience building autonomous systems that make important decisions on behalf of humans. Hannes Hapke is an Electrical Engineer turned Data Scientist with experience in deep learning. Cole Howard is a carpenter and writer turned Deep Learning expert.

This illuminating book offers an up-to-date introduction to the psychology of language, exploring aspects of language processing that have previously not been given centre stage such as the role of body and brain, social aspects of language use, and mental models.The New Psychology of Language presents an overarching theoretical account called the Language User Framework for discussing a wide variety of core language activities. How do we understand speech in conversations? How do we read books? How do we convert our thoughts into bodily signals (speech, gestures, facial expressions) when we speak? What happens in the mind and brain when we have mastered two or more languages? All these aspects of language use are discussed at the level of words and sentences, as well as text and discourse. Language is considered as an embodied, embedded, incremental cognitive activity aiming at the construction and communication of rich and dynamic mental models. Discussion boxes highlight controversies in the field; case studies and practical exercises provide insight into everyday examples; illustrations represent important models of language processing; and key findings come along with clear and concise chapter summaries. Special attention is paid to research techniques for investigating the psychology of language.This accessible book ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Kniha je souborem přepisů tří workshopů, které se odehrály ve slavném Esalenském institutu v roce 1968. V nich Perls živě demonstruje, co je gestalt: celek lidského prožívání, do něhož se v rámci terapie snažíme opět zahrnout všechny myšlenky, vjemy a emoce, které jsme od sebe dříve oddělili. První část knihy obsahuje čtyři přednášky, v nichž Perls jasně a jednoduše vysvětluje základní myšlenky, které podle něj tvoří filozofii a metodologii gestalt terapie. Následují záznamy semináře na téma snů. Hlavním Perlsovým záměrem zde není sen analyzovat, ale znovu prožít. Poslední část zaznamenává několik po sobě následujících individuálních sezení s jednou osobou a také skupinové setkání. Zde se Perls snaží zachytit další aspekty gestalt terapie, které z předchozích částí nejsou tak patrné. Kniha je základním svědectvím o tom, jak gestalt terapii praktikoval její zakladatel. Frederick S. Perls (1893–1970) byl americký psychoterapeut německo-židovského původu. Původně byl ovlivněn Freudem, ale později se od analýzy odklonil směrem k důrazu na prožívání a se svou ženou Laurou vytvořil koncept gestalt terapie. Ta je založena na poznávání a vyjadřování vlastních prožitků „tady a teď“ a na živý kontakt s okolím a druhými lidmi.

A seminal book that placed the study of human behaviour in a new perspective, demolished many schools of psychology and brought about a return to the dynamic view of human personality. It invites the reader to go on a course of self-therapy designed to develop an awareness of the self and a growth of the personality. Employing the wide-ranging techniques of the Gestalt approach to heighten sensory perception and motoric behaviour and to deepen the capacity to enjoy interpersonal relationships, it is a practical insight into one of the most important psychotherapeutic techniques. Starting with the premise that experience begins at the contact boundary it examines the nature of that experience and the various obstacles that can stand in the way of growth. Gestalt therapy is explained in detail, with its basis in the methods of psychotherapy from Freud to the present outlined. First published in 1951, Gestalt Therapy has remained constantly in print ever since and is regarded as one of the most important studies of self-awareness available.

Kniha je základním textem představujícím teorii a praxi gestalt terapie, významného psychoterapeutického směru, který se objevuje v polovině 20. století. Jeho původce, Frederick Perls, ho uvedl jako výsledek svého celoživotního úsilí o rozvinutí nového psychoterapeutického modelu, který by důsledně vycházel z holistických a organizmických principů a představoval tak alternativu k ortodoxní psychoanalytické doktríně nebo mechanistické behaviorální tradici. I když původní myšlenky pocházejí od Fredericka Perlse, kniha je výsledkem tvořivé spolupráce tří autorů (Paula Goodmana, který materiál dílu rozvinul a přepracoval, a Ralpha Hefferline, jenž vše aplikoval v praxi). Tato publikace se zcela právem řadí mezi "klasická" díla o psychoterapii vůbec. Podává základní výklad pro nový psychoterapeutický přístup, rozhodně ale není "lehkým" čtením. Nelze ji číst jedním dechem, jak je tomu u mnoha populárních psychologických knížek. Zejména pro čtenáře, který se zatím neorientuje v základní teorii gestalt terapie, může být zpočátku těžkým soustem. Je to však základní práce pro seriózního studenta, který je připraven číst a studovat ji znovu, zažívat ji pomalu a trpělivě. Kniha poprvé vyšla před více než půlstoletím a o jejím vlivu na další generace psychologů a psychoterapeutů svědčí i její pravidelné reedice a překlady do všech světových jazyků.

This book presents the career narratives of an under-researched group of teachers: immigrant Filipino teachers of English working mainly with young and very young learners in Japan. It provides a nuanced and revealing critique of poststructuralist views of identity and proposes recognition theories as an alternative perspective. It explores the role of the community found in language teacher associations in the formation and strengthening of language teacher identity and reveals new insights into morality and social justice in language teacher identity. The narratives of the teachers and the communities of which they are part demonstrate how prejudice affects these teachers'' lives, and how speaking about and celebrating success can affirm individual and group identity.

LEARNING THROUGH PLAYOne of the best ways for children with autism, Asperger''s, and sensory processing disorders to learn is through play. Children improve their motor skills, language skills, and social skills by moving their bodies and interacting with their environment. Yet the biggest challenges parents, teachers, and loved ones face with children on the autism spectrum or with sensory processing disorders is how to successfully engage them in play. Pediatric occupational therapist Tara Delaney provides the answer.

For courses in Image Processing and Computer Vision. For years, Image Processing has been the foundational text for the study of digital image processing. The book is suited for students at the college senior and first-year graduate level with prior background in mathematical analysis, vectors, matrices, probability, statistics, linear systems, and computer programming. As in all earlier editions, the focus of this edition of the book is on fundamentals. The 4th Edition is based on an extensive survey of faculty, students, and independent readers in 5 institutions from 3 countries. Their feedback led to epanded or new coverage of topics such as deep learning and deep neural networks, including convolutional neural nets, the scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT), maimally-stable etremal regions (MSERs), graph cuts, k-means clustering and superpiels, active contours (snakes and level sets), and eact histogram matching. Major improvements were made in reorganising the material on image transforms into a more cohesive presentation, and in the discussion of spatial kernels and spatial filtering.
