      Smart Spaces covers the latest concepts and technologies surrounding smart spaces, providing technical personnel engaged in smart space related research and industries a more in-depth understanding of smart spaces. This book can be used as a reference for practicing this emerging discipline, but it will also be useful for researchers, scientists, developers, practitioners, and graduate students working in the fields of smart spaces and artificial intelligence. It combines the study of working or living spaces with computing, information equipment, and multimodal sensing devices, and with natural and convenient interactive interfaces to support how people can easily obtain services from computer systems.People's work and life in smart spaces use computer systems; it is a process of uninterrupted interaction between people and the computer system. In this process, the computer is no longer just an information processing tool that passively executes explicit human operation commands but a collaborator with people to complete tasks – a partner to human beings. International research on smart spaces is quite extensive, which shows the important role of smart spaces in ubiquitous computing research.

      Machine Learning and Noisy Labels: Definitions, Theory, Techniques and Solutions provides an ideal introduction to machine learning with noisy labels that is suitable for senior undergraduates, post graduate students, researchers and practitioners using, and researching, machine learning methods. Most of the modern machine learning models based on deep learning techniques depend on carefully curated and cleanly labeled training sets to be reliably trained and deployed. However, the expensive labeling process involved in the acquisition of such training sets limits the number and size of datasets available to build new models, slowing down progress in the field. This book defines the different types of label noise, introduces the theory behind the problem, presents the main techniques that enable the effective use of noisy-label training sets, and explains the most accurate methods.
