    • English
    Artificial intelligence technology has entered an extraordinary phase of fast development and wide application. The techniques developed in traditional AI research areas, such as computer vision and object recognition, have found many innovative applications in an array of real-world settings. The general methodological contributions from AI, such as a variety of recently developed deep learning algorithms, have also been applied to a wide spectrum of fields such as surveillance applications, real-time processing, IoT devices, and health care systems. The state-of-the-art and deep learning models have wider applicability and are highly efficient. Deep Learning in Action: Image and Video Processing for Practical Use provides a comprehensive and accessible resource for both intermediate to advanced readers seeking to harness the power of deep learning in the domains of video and image processing. The book bridges the gap between theoretical concepts and practical implementation by emphasizing lightweight approaches, enabling readers to efficiently apply deep learning techniques to real-world scenarios.

  • Quantum Process Algebra

    • 1st Edition
    • Yong Wang
    • English
    Quantum Process Algebra introduces readers to the algebraic properties and laws for quantum computing. The book provides readers with all aspects of algebraic theory for quantum computing, including the basis of semantics and axiomatization for quantum computing. With the assumption of a quantum system, readers will learn to solve the modeling of the three main components in a quantum system: the unitary operator, quantum measurement, and quantum entanglement, with full support of quantum and classical computing in closed systems. Next, the book establishes the relationship between probabilistic quantum bisimilarity and classical probabilistic bisimilarity, including strong probabilistic bisimilarity and weak probabilistic bisimilarity, which makes an axiomatization of quantum processes possible. With this framework, quantum and classical computing mixed processes are unified with the same structured operational semantics. Finally, the book establishes a series of axiomatizations of quantum process algebras. These process algebras support nearly all the main computation properties. Quantum and classical computing in closed quantum systems are unified with the same equational logic and the same structured operational semantics under the framework of ACP-like probabilistic process algebra. This unification means that the mathematics in the book can be used widely for verification of quantum and classical computing mixed systems, for example, most quantum communication protocols. ACP-like axiomatization also inherits the advantages of ACP, for example, and modularity means that it can be extended in an elegant way.
