Explainable Artificial Intelligence for Biomedical Applications

Explainable Artificial Intelligence for Biomedical Applications

Since its first appearance artificial intelligence has been ensuring revolutionary outcomes in the context of real-world problems. At this point it has strong relations with biomedical and today’s intelligent systems compete with human capabilities in medical tasks. However advanced use of artificial intelligence causes intelligent systems to be black-box. That situation is not good for building trustworthy intelligent systems in medical applications. For a remarkable amount of time researchers have tried to solve the black-box issue by using modular additions which have led to the rise of the term: interpretable artificial intelligence. As the literature matured (as a result of in particular deep learning) that term transformed into explainable artificial intelligence (XAI). This book provides an essential edited work regarding the latest advancements in explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) for biomedical applications. It includes not only introductive perspectives but also applied touches and discussions regarding critical problems as well as future insights. Topics discussed in the book include: XAI for the applications with medical images XAI use cases for alternative medical data/task Different XAI methods for biomedical applications Reviews for the XAI research for critical biomedical problems. Explainable Artificial Intelligence for Biomedical Applications is ideal for academicians researchers students engineers and experts from the fields of computer science biomedical medical and health sciences. It also welcomes all readers of different fields to be informed about use cases of XAI in black-box artificial intelligence. In this sense the book can be used for both teaching and reference source purposes.

Opera Outside the Box Notions of Opera in Nineteenth-Century Britain

Opera Outside the Box Notions of Opera in Nineteenth-Century Britain

Opera Outside the Box: Notions of Opera in Nineteenth-Century Britain addresses operatic “experiences” outside the opera houses of Britain during the nineteenth century. The essays adopt a variety of perspectives exploring the processes through which opera and ideas about opera were cultivated and disseminated by examining opera-related matters in publication and performance in both musical and non-musical genres outside the traditional approaches to transmission of operatic works and associated concepts. As a group they exemplify the broad array of questions to be grappled with in seeking to identify commonalities that might shed light in new and imaginative ways on the experiences and manifestations of opera and notions of opera in Victorian Britain. In unpacking the significance relevance uses and impacts of opera within British society the collection seeks to enhance understanding of a few of the manifold ways in which the population learned about and experienced opera how audiences and the broader public understood the genre and the aesthetics surrounding it how familiarity with opera played out in British culture and how British customs values and principles affected the genre of opera and perceptions of it. | Opera Outside the Box Notions of Opera in Nineteenth-Century Britain

Inside the Black Box of 'White Backlash' Letters of Support to Enoch Powell (1968-1969)

Inside the Black Box of ‘White Backlash’ researches the contents of the letters of support sent to British politician Enoch Powell in the wake of his so-called ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech of April 20 1968. Never has a politician received so much written support in so short a time. This book takes a thematic approach to investigate the way British whites used Powell’s speech to vent their frustrations anger hostility against (non-white) immigrants and the evolution of British society in the late 1960s. Each chapter unpacks one facet of a 10 000-letter sample out of the approximately 100 000 letters Powell received: Race State War Empire America Class Gender Elites Parties ‘Against’ - with this last chapter analysing letters of protest against Powell. This extraordinary archival material provides an altogether unique window into British society in the late 1960s and reads like a (white) anthropology of nativist Britons in times of swift change. The book will be of interest to both students and academics of race immigration and ethnicity as well as by the general public.

Quantum Mechanics For Scientists and Engineers

Quantum Mechanics For Scientists and Engineers

This book covers the entire span of quantum mechanics whose developments have taken place during the early part of the twentieth century up till the present day. We start with the Rutherford-Bohr model of the atom followed by Schrodinger's wave mechanics with its application to the solution of calculating the energy spectrum of a particle in a box the harmonic oscillator and finally the hydrogen atom. Heisenberg's matrix mechanics and its duality with Schrodinger's wave mechanics quantum mechanics in the interaction picture. Dirac's relativistic theory of the electron exhibiting the spin of the electron as a relativistic effect when it interacts with an external electromagnetic field. Feynman's path integral approach to non-relativistic quantum mechanics with is a marvellous intuitive interpretation as a sum over paths and how classical mechanics is obtained from its limit as Planck' constant tends to zero methods for computing the spectra of the Dirac Hamiltonian in a radial potential quantum field theory as developed by Feynman Schwinger Tomonaga and Dyson for describing the interaction between electrons positrons and photons via propagators using both the operator theoretic expansions and Feynman's path integral. We also introduce time independent and time dependent perturbation theory in quantum mechanics with applications to quantum gate design for quantum computers forming a major part of the research conducted by the author's research group Quantum noise introduced into the Schrodinger and Dirac's equation based on the Hudson-Parthasarathy quantum stochastic calculus in Boson Fock space scattering theory and wave operators with applications to quantum gate design some aspects of second quantization like the interpretation of Boson Fock space in terms of harmonic oscillator algebras and the BCS theory of superconductivity Wigner-Mackey-Frobenius theory of induced representations of a group with applications to Wigner's theory of particle classification Dirac's equation in a gravitational field and Yang-Mills non-Abelian gauge theories with application to the construction of unified quantum field theories and finally the more recent theory of super-symmetry which is a Boson-Fermion unification theory. We have discussed the statistics of Boson's Fermions and Maxwell-Boltzmann based on entropy maximization. The book is written in problem-solution format and it would be of use to physicists and engineers interested respectively in developing unified field theories and in the design of quantum gates.

Rights for Aborigines

Rights for Aborigines

'We cannot help but wonder why it has taken the white Australians just on 200 years to recognise us as a race of people' Bill Onus 1967Aboriginal people were the original landowners in Australia yet this was easily forgotten by Europeans settling this old continent. Labelled as a primitive and dying race by the end of the nineteenth century most Aborigines were denied the right to vote to determine where their families would live and to maintain their cultural traditions. In this groundbreaking work Bain Attwood charts a century-long struggle for rights for Aborigines in Australia. He tracks the ever-shifting perceptions of race and history and how these impacted on the ideals and goals of campaigners for rights for indigenous people. He looks at prominent Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal campaigners and what motivated their involvement in key incidents and movements. Drawing on oral and documentary sources he investigates how they found enough common ground to fight together for justice and equality for Aboriginal people. Rights for Aborigines illuminates questions of race history political and social rights that are central to our understanding of relations between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians.
