The author provides guidelines for elaborating, understanding, and applying normalization methods. This book is ideal for readers working on the development of novel deep learning algorithms and/or their applications to solve practical problems in computer vision and machine learning. The book also serves as a resource researchers, engineers, and students who are new to the field and need to understand and train DNNs. This Second Edition builds upon the original material with the addition of more recent proposed methods and expanded technical details for new normalization methods and network architectures tailored to specific tasks.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Debates about digitalization and democracy have always been controversial and range from optimistic views to sceptic or even dystopian perspectives. The former emphasize the potential of the internet to drive innovation in society and to enhance democracy. In contrast, skeptical views highlight the risks and even threats of digitalization. This finds expression in aspects such as the growing relevance of fake news online. Algorithmic filtering promotes visibility of polarizing content. Furthermore, social media can no longer be seen as neutral gathering places for public discourse. All of this makes it necessary to further research the role of digitization with regard to strengthening and preserving democracy. This open access book brings together the results of a five-year interdisciplinary research project on digital transformation in society.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Ordinary people can now create engaging and remunerative activities on platforms in the cloud. These activities can coexist harmoniously with traditional financial relationships, broadening economic inclusion and fostering upward mobility. The book examines how individuals with minimal computer skills can access financial services and manage money that is both invisible and untraceable. It shows how cloud-based financial platforms can facilitate economic activity in remote areas, boosting employment without attracting regulatory attention. This new, low-profile financial activity weakens the grip of repressive governments over citizens' lives, opening paths to economic empowerment.Unique and disruptive, this book is essential reading for anyone trying to understand the complexities of modern finance and the transformative potential of emerging technologies. Whether you're a seasoned investor, a financial professional, or simply curious about the future of money and its potential to transform societies, this book offers valuable insights and practical knowledge to navigate the evolving financial landscape.Springer-Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 300 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This Open Access book, the first volume in a two-part series on quantum technology governance, provides a systematic examination of the legal and regulatory dimensions of quantum technologies, offering an original contribution to the emerging discourse on quantum governance. It distinguishes itself as one of the first comprehensive analyses to explore how quantum technologies intersect with existing legal frameworks, addressing the implications of quantum advancements for law, policy, and regulatory practice. The work examines how developments in quantum computing, cryptography, and sensing challenge established approaches to intellectual property, cybersecurity regulation, export controls, and public international law, while identifying pathways for adapting and strengthening existing governance structures. It highlights how the non-classical features of quantum technologies stress-test conventional legal doctrines and require interpretive flexibility, anticipatory policymaking, and evidence-based regulatory strategies rather than wholesale reform. Grounded in developments through 2025, the volume equips policymakers with analytical tools to navigate legal uncertainty, balance innovation with risk, and address regulatory gaps in areas such as cybersecurity and export controls, while fostering coordinated responses at national and international levels. The book equips scholars, policymakers, and practitioners with conceptual and practical insights to evaluate the evolving interplay between technological innovation, security, and legal order in the quantum era. With an interdisciplinary perspective, it advances understanding of how legal and regulatory systems can respond to the technical and governance challenges posed by quantum technologies.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Even before its launch, economists questioned whether the Euro Area had what it takes to become an optimal currency area. The onset of the crisis in 2010 confirmed challenges in its construction that many had partly predicted. But has the Euro Area changed over time, and what key drivers are necessary to strengthen it in the future This is the third of three volumes that use optimal currency area theory and applied econometric techniques to provide a compact analysis of the Euro Area, its evolution and future perspectives. This volume is dedicated to a criterion often seen as critical for an optimal currency area: a risk-sharing mechanism. Did the Euro Area s stabilization mechanisms work as intended In this timely book, the authors discuss the extent to which the Euro Area has developed fiscal transfers, insurance schemes, and financial markets that allow its members to share macroeconomic risks and smooth asymmetric shocks. The book is of interest to a wide range of researchers in financial economics, macroeconomics and economic policy. …

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This is the first book to explore the history of self-translation in Chinese. It reveals how self-translation was widespread among literary authors during one of the most fertile periods of translation in human history, an era that marks both the dawn of modern Chinese literature and the foundation of the Republic of China (1912 1949). The crucial role translation played in this period remains unknown to a great many readers and researchers in the West, but the book establishes why this is also a golden age of literary self-translation, globally considered. It examines the motivations, affiliations and writing practices of key self-translators, exploring canonical figures such as Lu Xun, Lao She and Lin Yutang as well as lesser-known figures. In-depth studies analyse the fascinating but neglected prodigy Liang Zongdai and offer new perspectives on the literary celebrity Eileen Chang. The period is considered in relation to international research trends, and through the innovative frameworks of global Modernisms and Western Orientalism. This book will be of interest to students and researchers in the disciplines of translation studies, Chinese studies, comparative literature, Chinese literature and literatures in French and English.…
