Vinnitta: The Birth of the Detroit Mafia
From the Author of Off Color: The Violent History of Detroit's Notorious Purple Gang It was the winter of 1919, and it was the height of a gang war the Motor City hadn't seen before. Detroit's Mafia family had split into two factions, both vying to not only avenge ancient wrongs but also gain control of the city's lucrative illegal alcohol trade at the dawn of Prohibition. In Vìnnitta, author Daniel Waugh offers an in-depth account of the formation of the Detroit Mafia and how they grew from a small band of Sicilian immigrants into one of the most powerful criminal sects. He shares how the mafia infiltrated the Detroit business community and established themselves in illegal rackets ranging from extortion, auto theft, bootlegging, burglary, and construction racketeering. The story is told through the eyes of not only the gangsters themselves, but also those of an undertaker forced to prepare many of his friends for burial after their murders.
Knowledge-Based Intelligent Information and Engineering Systems
This book is part of a three-volume set that constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Knowledge-Based Intelligent Information and Engineering Systems, KES 2007. Coverage in this first volume includes artificial neural networks and connectionists systems, fuzzy and neuro-fuzzy systems, evolutionary computation, machine learning and classical AI, agent systems, and information engineering and applications in ubiquitous computing environments.
Design and Architectures for Digital Signal Processing
Digital signal processing (DSP) covers a wide range of applications in which the implementation of high-performance systems to meet stringent requirements and performance constraints is receiving increasing attention both in the industrial and academic contexts. Conceived to be available to a wide audience, the aim of this book is to provide students, researchers, engineers and the industrial community with a guide to the latest advances in emerging issues in the design and implementation of DSP systems for application-specific circuits and programmable devices. The book is divided into different sections including real-time audio applications, optical signal processing, image and video processing and advanced architectures and implementations. It will enable early-stage researchers and developers to deal with the important gap in knowledge in the transition from algorithm specification to the design of architectures for VLSI implementations.
Applications of Artificial Intelligence and Neural Systems to Data Science
This book provides an overview on the current progresses in artificial intelligence and neural nets in data science. The book is reporting on intelligent algorithms and applications modeling, prediction, and recognition tasks and many other application areas supporting complex multimodal systems to enhance and improve human–machine or human–human interactions. This field is broadly addressed by the scientific communities and has a strong commercial impact since investigates on the theoretical frameworks supporting the implementation of sophisticated computational intelligence tools. Such tools will support multidisciplinary aspects of data mining and data processing characterizing appropriate system reactions to human-machine interactional exchanges in interactive scenarios. The emotional issue has recently gained increasing attention for such complex systems due to its relevance in helping in the most common human tasks (like cognitive processes, perception, learning, communication, and even "rational" decision-making) and therefore improving the quality of life of the end users.
New Challenges in Distributed Information Filtering and Retrieval
This volume focuses on new challenges in distributed Information Filtering and Retrieval. It collects invited chapters and extended research contributions from the DART 2011 Workshop, held in Palermo (Italy), on September 2011, and co-located with the XII International Conference of the Italian Association on Artificial Intelligence. The main focus of DART was to discuss and compare suitable novel solutions based on intelligent techniques and applied to real-world applications. The chapters of this book present a comprehensive review of related works and state of the art. Authors, both practitioners and researchers, shared their results in several topics such as "Multi-Agent Systems", "Natural Language Processing", "Automatic Advertisement", "Customer Interaction Analytics", "Opinion Mining".
Intelligent Interactive Multimedia Systems and Services 2017
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Tenth International KES Conference on Intelligent Interactive Multimedia Systems and Services: IIMSS-17. It includes 57 full papers organized into topical sections, ranging from visual data processing to big data analytics, and from multimedia to intelligent and cognitive systems. The conference took place as part of the Smart Digital Futures 2017 multi-theme conference, held in Vilamoura, Algarve, Portugal on 21–23 June 2017, which brings together AMSTA, IDT, InHorizons, InMed, SEEL and IIMSS in one venue. It provided an international forum for researchers and scientists to share their work and experiences in the field of multimedia and intelligent interactive systems and services.
Information Retrieval and Mining in Distributed Environments
At DART'09, held in conjunction with the 2009 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence (WI 2009) and Intelligent Agent Technology (IAT 2009) in Milan (Italy), practitioners and researchers working on pervasive and intelligent access to web services and distributed information retrieval met to compare their work ad insights in such fascinating topics. Extended and revised versions of their papers, together with selected and invited original contributions, are collected in this book. Topics covered are those that emerged at DART'09 as the most intriguing and challenging: (i) community oriented tools and techniques as infrastructure of the Web 2.0; (ii) agent technology applied to virtual world scenarios; (iii) context aware information retrieval; (iv) content based information retrieval; and (v) industrial applications of information retrieval. Every chapter, before discussing in depth the specific topic, presents a comprehensive review of related work and state of the art, in the hope of this volume to be of use in the years to come, to both researchers and students.
Euro-Par 2005 Parallel Processing
Euro-Par 2005 was the eleventh conference in the Euro-Par series. It was organized by the Centre for Informatics and Information Technology (CITI) and the Department of Informatics of the Faculty of Science and Technology of Universidade Nova de Lisboa, at the Campus of Monte de Caparica.
Applied Intelligence and Informatics
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Conference on Applied Intelligence and Informatics, AII 2022, held in Reggio Calabria, Italy, during September 1–3, 2022. The 38 full papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 108 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: Emerging Applications of AI and Informatics; Application of AI and Informatics in Healthcare; Application of AI and Informatics in Pattern Recognition; and Application of AI and Informatics in Network, Security, and Analytics.
