    Description

    Intelligent machines are populating our social, economic and political spaces. These intelligent machines are powered by Artificial Intelligence technologies such as deep learning. They are used in decision making. One element of decision making is the issue of rationality. Regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) require that decisions that are made by these intelligent machines are explainable.?Rational Machines and Artificial Intelligence?proposes that explainable decisions are good but the explanation must be rational to prevent these decisions from being challenged. Noted author Tshilidzi Marwala studies the concept of machine rationality and compares this to the rationality bounds prescribed by Nobel Laureate Herbert Simon and rationality bounds derived from the work of Nobel Laureates Richard Thaler and Daniel Kahneman.?Rational Machines and Artificial Intelligence?describes why machine rationality is flexibly bounded due to advances in technology. This effectively means that optimally designed machines are more rational than human beings. Readers will also learn whether machine rationality can be quantified and identify how this can be achieved. Furthermore, the author discusses whether machine rationality is subjective. Finally, the author examines whether a population of intelligent machines collectively make more rational decisions than individual machines. Examples in biomedical engineering, social sciences and the financial sectors are used to illustrate these concepts.

    Description

    Reasons for Studying of Programming Languages
    Increased capacity to express ideas:

    People can easily express their ideas clearly in any language only when they have clear understanding of the natural language.
    Similarly, if programmers want to simulate the features of languages in another language, they should have some ideas regarding the concepts in other languages as well. Improved background for choosing appropriate languages
    Many programmers when given a choice of languages for a new project, continue to use the language with which they are most familiar, even if it is poorly suited to the project.
    If these programmers were familiar with a wider range of languages, they would be better able to choose the language that includes the features that best address the characteristics of the problem at hand.

    Increased ability to learn new languages

    In software development, continuous learning is essential.
    The process of learning a new programming language can be lengthy and difficult, especially for someone who is comfortable with only two or more languages.
    Once a thorough understanding of the fundamental concepts of languages is acquired, it becomes far easier to see how these concepts are incorporated into the design of the language being learned. Better understanding the significance of implementation
    An understanding of implementation issues leads to an understanding of why languages are designed the way they are.
    This knowledge in turn leads to the ability to use a language more intelligently, as it was designed to use.
    We can become better programmers by understanding the choices among programming language constructs and consequences of those choices. Better use of languages that are already known
    By studying the concepts of programming languages, programmers can learn about previously unknown and unused parts of the languages they already use and begin to use those features.

  • Description

    Creating your own domain-specific languages (DSLs) is both challenging and exhilarating. DSLs give users a way to interact with your applications more effectively, and Kotlin is a fantastic language to serve as a host for internal DSLs, because it greatly reduces the pain and effort of design and development. But implementing DSLs on top of Kotlin requires understanding the key strengths of the language and knowing how to apply them appropriately. Learn to avoid the pitfalls and leverage the language while creating your own elegant, fluent, concise, and robust DSLs using Kotlin.
    Internal DSLs remove the burdens of implementing a full blown language compiler. The host language quickly becomes your ally to creating DSLs, but the syntax you can choose for your DSLs is limited to what the host language allows. You can work around the limitations by tactfully bending the rules and exploiting the language capabilities. Learn the power of Kotlin and ways to design with it, in the context of crafting internal DSLs
    Start by learning ways to exploit the flexibilities of Kotlin to make your DSLs fluent, expressive, and concise. Then pick up techniques to extend the language with domain specific properties and functions. Quickly move ahead to tie your DSL snippets into the runtime environment and context of execution of your applications. Design to prevent any non-sensical syntax in your DSL that may otherwise be valid in the host language. Finally, learn techniques to gracefully handle errors. Practice using the multiple examples that are included in each chapter.
    Fire up your editor and follow along each example to become proficient in designing and implementing your own internal DSLs using Kotlin.
    What You Need:
    Kotlin version 1.3 or later and your favorite Kotlin IDE or code editor.
