Since their introduction in 2017, transformers have quickly become the dominant architecture for achieving state-of-the-art results on a variety of natural language processing tasks. If you're a data scientist or coder, this practical book -now revised in full color- shows you how to train and scale these large models using Hugging Face Transformers, a Python-based deep learning library.

This book is a discussion of the calculation of specific formulas in finance. The field of finance has seen a rapid development in recent years, with increasing mathematical sophistication. While the formalization of the field can be traced back to the work of Markowitz (1952) on investors mean-variance decisions and Modigliani and Miller (1958) on the capital structure problem, it was t

Modern business runs on Java. It's the programming language of choice for large-scale applications, whether they're running in the cloud or in a private data center. Despite being nearly 30 years old, Java remains one of the most widely used programming languages in the world thanks to its versatility, reliability, and stability. Java is also far more pervasive than meets the eye. The Ja

This text is used in a mathematical software course at VMI that provides an introduction to Matlab and Mathcad. However, Troy Siemers also intends it to be a course book instead of an all inclusive resource. He encourages his students to take full advantage of the built-in help capabilities of these software packages, additional texts (he keeps a few in a small library that is always ava

The corporate market is now embracing free, "open source" software like never before, as evidenced by the recent success of the technologies underlying LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP). Each is the result of a publicly collaborative process among numerous developers who volunteer their time and energy to create better software. The truth is, however, that the overwhelming majority of
