Generative modeling is one of the hottest topics in AI. Its now possible to teach a machine to excel at human endeavors such as painting, writing, and composing music. With this practical book, machine-learning engineers and data scientists will discover how to re-create some of the most impressive examples of generative deep learning models, such as variational autoencoders,generative adversarial networks (GANs), encoder-decoder models and world models.Author David Foster demonstrates the inner workings of each technique, starting with the basics of deep learning before advancing to some of the most cutting-edge algorithms in the field. Through tips and tricks, youll understand how to make your models learn more efficiently and become more creative.Discover how variational autoencoders can change facial expressions in photosBuild practical GAN examples from scratch, including CycleGAN for style transfer and MuseGAN for music generationCreate recurrent generative models for text generation and learn how to improve the models using attentionUnderstand how generative models can help agents to accomplish tasks within a reinforcement learning settingExplore the architecture of the Transformer (BERT, GPT-2) and image generation models such as ProGAN and StyleGAN

The gruesome discovery of a body on London's Hampstead Heath, that has lain undisturbed for 40 years, gives newly promoted DI Sam Cooper his first murder investigation. He finds a number of disappearances over many years that seem connected, but is this too much of a coincidence? His search takes him back to a troubled Paris of 1968, and a tragic accident. As he untangles the connections Cooper has his own issues to deal with, a suspect that that has contacts in high places, and a convicted killer who has disappeared.....

This comprehensive guide to the art of angling covers a wide range of topics related to fishing, including the history of angling, the different types of fish and their behavior, the best equipment and techniques for catching fish, and much more. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to anglers of all levels of experience. With its detailed illustrations and practical advice, The Scientific Angler remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the sport of fishing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

The Scientific Angler. - Being a general and instructive work on artistic angling is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1883.Hansebooks is editor of the literature on different topic areas such as research and science, travel and expeditions, cooking and nutrition, medicine, and other genres. As a publisher we focus on the preservation of historical literature. Many works of historical writers and scientists are available today as antiques only. Hansebooks newly publishes these books and contributes to the preservation of literature which has become rare and historical knowledge for the future.

"The Scientific Angler" is a vintage guide to fishing that takes a more scientific approach to the ancient sport and pastime than many other similar books. Including detailed explanations and expert tips, this profusely-illustrated volume will be of considerable utility to anglers new and old, and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: "The Habits and Haunts of Fish", "The Habits and Haunts of Fish (continued)", "Bottom Fishing", " Bottom Fishing (continued)", "Pike Fishing", "Spinning for Trout", "Worm Fishing for Trout", "Piscatorial Entomology", "On Fly Making", "Fly Fishing for Trout and Grayling", "Notes on the Months for Fly Fishing", "Salmon and Sea Trout Fishing", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with that in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of fishing.

Monasteries and gaols: David Foster reflects that during the course of his life the monasteries have emptied while the gaols are doing nicely. Set in Goulburn and its surrounds, where Foster resides, The Contemptuary is a lament for a dying faith, a commentary on prison life and, perhaps unexpectedly from Foster in this, his sixteenth novel, an unputdownable whodunnit.'Attempt to characterise Foster's writing and eventually one will run out of adjectives. There is simply no one remotely like him in contemporary Australian fiction. He is so far ahead of everyone else that it's not funny.' - Australian Book Review
