This work presents a study investigating social and curricular factors that lead to student retention and attrition in introductory Computer Science at UC Berkeley. CS10 and CS61A are identified as critical gateway classes in the curricula pipeline. To address the impedance match between the performance of CS10 students in CS61A, a new curricula Data Science unit, with a culturally-relevant learning experience, has been created for CS10. Prelimi- nary results show agreement with theoretical predictions and significant improvement over previous efforts. The central argument of this work is the belief that historically under- represented students in Computer Science increase their affinity for and ability to persist in Computer Science classes when they feel like what they are learning has some relevance outside the Computer Science classroom. This work introduces a learning framework for the computational exploration of data, within the context of an introductory Computer Science class. The work presented here has profound implications for future studies of how culturally resonant curriculum may one day help solve the problem of low-representation of female andethnic minority students in the field of Computer Science.

Bogens primære formål er at argumentere for, at vi må få mennesker og det analoge liv med ind i den digitale verden, hvis vi i fremtiden skal have meningsfulde liv og et sammenhængende samfund. Kløften mellem det analoge og det digitale liv bliver stadig større, og de negative konsekvenser er kun alt for tydelige i vores verden. Bogen tydeliggør, at når noget digitaliseres, forsvinder det analoge – hvis vi ikke passer på. Bogen beskriver, hvorfor mennesker har et dybtfølt behov for aktiviteter, der præsenterer en levende, tredimensionel oplevelse, der involverer vores krop og alle sanser i samspil med andre mennesker, ting og begivenheder. Menneskers liv i den analoge verden er uerstatteligt. Brug det, eller du mister det! Bogen vil være et vigtigt indlæg i den samfundsmæssige debat, og den vil kunne læses af både alment interesserede, forældre og af professionelle. Uddrag af bogen Meningen med det analoge liv er at kunne afprøve mulighederne – udfolde sit menneskelige potentiale. Det er ofte de små ting i den analoge verden, som skaber betydning. Det gode analoge liv bygger på en evne til at virkeliggøre de muligheder, mennesket er bærer af. I den analoge verden oplever vi glæden. Når vi deler glæder og tanker med andre, bliver vi klogere på os selv og på verden. Om forfatteren Kaj Struve (f. 1950) har arbejdet med rådgivning og vejledning af personale og forældre i folkeskolen i 30 år. Forfatter til 17 fagbøger, to ungdomsromaner samt artikler i fagblade og tidsskrifter.

NFTs cause excitement and skepticism. How much value can a token hold? What drives this value?To properly appreciate NFTs we must first understand what they actually are, how they work and in what contexts they are used.The Everything Token is an essential primer on NFTs (non-fungible tokens), explaining their use, purpose, and how businesses can create and exploit them to develop new product lines, building customer loyalty and increased revenues at the same time.Together the authors have spent much of the past few years embedded in NFT communities and helping launch NFT products. As self-described beta testers of this brand-new technology, they've seen its power first-hand and aim to educate others on the importance, uses and purpose of NFT and surrounding, ever-evolving technologies.Demystifying the complexities, two experts in NFTs show why we should take NFTs much more seriously than their reputation as fun digital art collectibles suggest. They have a wider variety of uses than one may realise.Gripping and accessible, this book provides a guide and an insight into what can often be a hard-to-grasp area of technology.

Life for Alex Gage, a 24 year old club football player, becomes a roller coaster ride as he stumbles upon a strange letter written by Albert Einstein in 1945. Laura, daughter of professor of physics Mr. John Gable seems like the only person who can help him but, the professor is dead and Laura is nowhere to be found. In his heart stopping chase for the truth, he comes across mysterious clues-- Letters dating back to 1940's, hidden propositions made by great scientists like Albert Einstein and Max Born, an absurd yet scientific theory and so on. He learns that one man who holds the key to everything, is someone named David. Soon he finds himself unraveling the greatest theory that mankind has ever known but, he is not the only one seeking it. Numerical Enigma merges the line between reality and belief. It does so by recounting facts and events in the history of scientific developments and theoretical physics which in the end leaves you with a question, "Is it really possible?"

In December 1997, an unknown Chinese American author named Iris Changpublished The Rape of Nanking: The Forgotten Holocaust of World War Two. Herpassionate but error strewn account of a sixty-year-old episode of Asian politicalviolence was a spectacular success, with over half a million books sold. Thisthesis asks why. Why that piece of history; why that moment; and why thatauthor and that book? It argues the most compelling answers to these questionsare found if the situation is viewed through the paradigmatic lens of trauma.It therefore offers a theoretical reading of this important historical moment, utilising key theorist, Jeffrey C. Alexander's social theory of cultural trauma. Itexamines parallel historical and social processes in China and the West - centredon trauma, representation and identity - which it argues Iris Chang connectedso profoundly with her book. It claims that The Rape of Nanking is structured toutilise a framework of traumatic understanding constructed around theHolocaust, the defining trauma of the epoch. This allowed her narrative to beread and easily decoded by its audience in the now familiar register of trauma.

Neural language models are probabilistic models of text parameterized by neural networks. They are widely applicable to applications with outputs consisting of discrete sequences, such as document summarization, question answering, and image captioning. The minimal assumptions about data enable advancements in language modeling to drive improvements across a diverse array of applications. In natural language, structures are both pervasive and essential. For example, a bookis organized into chapters, with a logical flow connecting them; without this structure, the book would lose its coherence. Therefore, effectively understanding and modeling textual sequences requires comprehending and representing the inherent structures. This thesis focuses on structure modeling for language models.

Formal methods refer to rigorous, mathematical approaches to system development and have played a key role in establishing the correctness of safety-critical systems. The main building blocks of formal methods are models and specifications, which are analogous to behaviors and requirements in system design and give us the means to verify and synthesize system behaviors with formal guarantees. In this monograph the authors review the current state of the art of applications of formal methods in the autonomous systems domain. They first consider correct-by-construction synthesis under various formulations in known environments before addressing the concept of uncertainty with systems that employ learning using formal methods including overcoming some limitations of such systems. Finally, they examine the synthesis of systems with monitoring to ensure a system can return to normalcy. They conclude with future directions for formal methods in reinforcement learning, uncertainty, privacy, explainability of formal methods, and regulation and certification. Covering important topics such as synthesis and reinforcement learning it is a comprehensive resource for students, practitioners and researchers on the use of formal methods in modern systems.
