Compressed Sensing (CS) in theory deals with the problem of recovering a sparse signal from an under-determined system of linear equations. The topic is of immense practical significance since all naturally occurring signals can be sparsely represented in some domain. In recent years, CS has helped reduce scan time in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (making scans more feasible for pediatric and geriatric subjects) and has also helped reduce the health hazard in X-Ray Computed CT. This book is a valuable resource suitable for an engineering student in signal processing and requires a basic understanding of signal processing and linear algebra.Covers fundamental concepts of compressed sensingMakes subject matter accessible for engineers of various levelsFocuses on algorithms including group-sparsity and row-sparsity, as well as applications to computational imaging, medical imaging, biomedical signal processing, and machine learningIncludes MATLAB examples for further development

Deep Learning is now synonymous with applied machine learning. Many technology giants (e.g. Google, Microsoft, Apple, IBM) as well as start-ups are focusing on deep learning-based techniques for data analytics and artificial intelligence. This technology applies quite strongly to biometrics. This book covers topics in deep learning, namely convolutional neural networks, deep belief network and stacked autoencoders. The focus is also on the application of these techniques to various biometric modalities: face, iris, palmprint, and fingerprints, while examining the future trends in deep learning and biometric research. Contains chapters written by authors who are leading researchers in biometrics. Presents a comprehensive overview on the internal mechanisms of deep learning. Discusses the latest developments in biometric research. Examines future trends in deep learning and biometric research. Provides extensive references at the end of each chapter to enhance further study.

This book dives into the inner workings of recommender systems, those ubiquitous technologies that shape our online experiences. From Netflix show suggestions to personalized product recommendations on Amazon or the endless stream of curated YouTube videos, these systems power the choices we see every day.Collaborative filtering reigns supreme as the dominant approach behind recommender systems. This book offers a comprehensive exploration of this topic, starting with memory-based techniques. These methods, known for their ease of understanding and implementation, provide a solid foundation for understanding collaborative filtering. As you progress, you’ll delve into latent factor models, the abstract and mathematical engines driving modern recommender systems.The journey continues with exploring the concepts of metadata and diversity. You’ll discover how metadata, the additional information gathered by the system, can be harnessed to refine recommendations. Additionally, the book delves into techniques for promoting diversity, ensuring a well-balanced selection of recommendations. Finally, the book concludes with a discussion of cutting-edge deep learning models used in recommender systems.This book caters to a dual audience. First, it serves as a primer for practicing IT professionals or data scientists eager to explore the realm of recommender systems. The book assumes a basic understanding of linear algebra and optimization but requires no prior knowledge of machine learning or programming. This makes it an accessible read for those seeking to enter this exciting field. Second, the book can be used as a textbook for a graduate-level course. To facilitate this, the final chapter provides instructors with a potential course plan.Key features:· This is the only book covering 25 years of research on this topic starting from late 90s to the current year.· This book is accessible to anyone with a basic knowledge of linear algebra, unlike other volumes that require knowledge of advanced data analytics.· It covers a wider range of topics than other books. Most others are research oriented and delves deep into a narrow area.· This is the only book written to be a textbook on collaborative filtering and recommender systems.· The book emphasizes on algorithms and not implementation. This makes it agnostic to programming languages. The reader is free to use whatever they are comfortable in, such as Python, R, Matlab, Java, etc.

Deep Dictionary Learning: Synthesis and Analysis challenges the way we think about deep learning. Instead of treating models as opaque stacks of nonlinear layers, this book reveals a cleaner, more structured alternative rooted in representation and insight. It reframes “depth” not as complexity for its own sake, but as a principled way to build meaning from data—offering a perspective that is both powerful and refreshingly transparent.Cutting through the noise of black-box models, this book brings clarity to modern machine learning. It unifies ideas that are usually scattered across the literature and shows how they come together in a single, elegant framework. Through diverse applications—from imaging to data analysis—it demonstrates how these methods can be used in practice while retaining interpretability and control. Readers will come away not just with techniques, but with a sharper way of thinking about learning systems.This book is for readers who are not satisfied with simply using deep learning, but want to truly understand it. Ideal for graduate students, researchers, and practitioners in machine learning, data science, and signal processing, it speaks to those who question black-box approaches and are looking for models that are both powerful and explainable.
