Free Download Matt Caulfield, "The Meta Model Demystified: Learn The Keys To Creating Powerful Conversational Change With NLP"
English | 2014 | ISBN: 149751732X | EPUB | pages: 118 | 0.2 mb
Brand new, thoroughly revised and expanded 2nd edition – over 80 pages of new material! The Meta Model was the first model that led to NLP, it is the skeleton that the rest of the NLP Model hangs around. It is an incredibility powerful tool for consultants, trainers, coaches and therapists to radically improve their ability to create change in their clients. However, there have been very few attempts to clarify the Meta Model or frame it in a more useful and comprehensible manner, and many NLP books and trainings regurgitate the same old stuff from outdated and outmoded source material. The Meta Model Demystified thoroughly updates the language patterns and explains how to use the Meta Model to create seemingly magical change simply and easily. This expanded and completely revised 2nd edition includes: * The key concepts that lead to the development of the Meta Model. * A totally reconfigured explanation of the classic language patterns. *Examples of using the Meta Model in various contexts. * Sample questions. * Hints and tips to master the Meta Model. PLEASE NOTE: This book assumes a basic and general understanding of Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP)

The Guangdong Model and Taxation in China Formation, Development, and Characteristics of China’s Modern Financial Syste


Free Download Jin-A Kang, "The Guangdong Model and Taxation in China: Formation, Development, and Characteristics of China’s Modern Financial Syste"
English | ISBN: 9463729836 | 2022 | 310 pages | PDF | 2 MB
This book explores the formation, development, and characteristics of modern China’s finance, focusing especially on Guangdong province as a case study to illustrate both the macro-level trends and the micro-level reality. The chronological range of this book is mainly from the late Qing period to the early Republican Era ending in 1937, when the full-scale Second Sino-Japanese War broke out. After the concept of modern finance was introduced to China for the first time in the late Qing period, the efforts to build modern finance continued in the Republican Era both nationally and locally. But this process was interrupted by the outbreak of the war against Japan in 1937 and, having been derailed, did not subsequently recover due to the subsequent civil war between the Kuomintang and the Chinese Communist Party. This interrupted process of financial modernization was resumed with Reform and Opening-up, launched in 1978. Therefore, in order to illustrate the structural transformation and persistent characteristics of China’s fiscal system, this book also includes discussions of the early Qing period and current Chinese finance.

MODA4 – Advances in Model-Oriented Data Analysis Proceedings of the 4th International Workshop in Spetses, Greece June 5-9, 19


Free Download MODA4 – Advances in Model-Oriented Data Analysis: Proceedings of the 4th International Workshop in Spetses, Greece June 5-9, 1995 By Valery Fedorov, Chris Nachtsheim (auth.), Dr. Christos P. Kitsos, Dr. Werner G. Müller (eds.)
1995 | 297 Pages | ISBN: 3790808644 | PDF | 23 MB
This volume is the proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Model-Oriented Data Analysis. This series of events originated in 1987 at a meeting in Eisenach, that successfully brought together scientists from numerous countries of the ‘East ‘ and ‘West’. Now that this distinction is obsolete dialogue has been greatly facilitated, providing opportunities for this dialogue, however, is as vital as ever. The present meeting at Spetses, Greece from 5th to 9th of June 1995 again assembles statisticians from all over the world as this book documents. The hospitality offered by the University of Economics of Athens and the Korgialenios School made it possible to organize this workshop. The editors are also grateful to Intracom (Greece), the Ionian Bank and the Procter & Gamble Company (USA) for their generous support. We would particularly like to mention Dr. Michael Meredith, who being our contact person at Procter & Gamble, enabled us to publish these proceedings. Further thanks go to Dr. Peter Schuster from Physica Verlag Heidelberg for his continuing support of the project. The contributions to this volume were carefully selected from the submissions by the editors after a one stage refereeing process. We would like to thank the members of the MODA committee, A.C. Atkinson, R.D. Cook, V.V. Fedorov, P.Hackl, H. Lauter, B.Torsney, LN. Vuchkov, H.P.Wynn,and A.A. Zhigljavsky, who not only defined the main topics of the workshop, but also served as the referees.

Image Models (and their Speech Model Cousins)


Free Download Image Models (and their Speech Model Cousins) By Charles Byrne (auth.), Stephen E. Levinson, Larry Shepp (eds.)
1996 | 204 Pages | ISBN: 1461284821 | PDF | 22 MB
This IMA Volume in Mathematics and its Applications IMAGE MODELS (AND THEIR SPEECH MODEL COUSINS) is based on the proceedings of a workshop that was an integral part of the 1993-94 IMA program on "Emerging Applications of Probability." We thank Stephen E. Levinson and Larry Shepp for organizing the workshop and for editing the proceedings. We also take this opportunity to thank the National Science Foundation, the Army Research Office, and the National Security Agency, whose financial support made the workshop possible. A vner Friedman Willard Miller, Jr. v PREFACE This volume is an attempt to explore the interface between two diverse areas of applied mathematics that are both "customers" of the maximum likelihood methodology: emission tomography (on the one hand) and hid den Markov models as an approach to speech understanding (on the other hand). There are other areas where maximum likelihood is used, some of which are represented in this volume: parsing of text (Jelinek), microstruc ture of materials (Ji), and DNA sequencing (Nelson). Most of the partici pants were in the main areas of speech or emission density reconstruction. Of course, there are many other areas where maximum likelihood is used that are not represented here.

Model-Based Reasoning, Abductive Cognition, Creativity Inferences and Models in Science, Logic, Language, and Technolog


Free Download Emiliano Ippoliti, "Model-Based Reasoning, Abductive Cognition, Creativity: Inferences and Models in Science, Logic, Language, and Technolog"
English | ISBN: 3031692993 | 2024 | 520 pages | PDF | 8 MB
This book discusses how scientific and other types of cognition make use of models, abduction, and explanatory reasoning in order to produce important, innovative, and possibly creative changes in theories and concepts. Gathering revised contributions presented at the international conference on Model-Based Reasoning (MBR023), held on June 7-9, 2023 in Rome, Italy, the book addresses various intertwined topics ranging from the epistemology and applications of models also concerning the problem of knowledge production and scientific methodology (information visualization, experimental methods, and design) to the analysis of their role in cognition, decision-making, also with respect to social implications. The problem of model-based cognition is also illustrated taking advantage of recent results regarding problem-solving, abduction, and logic, paying attention to a critique of the dominant and received approaches, to the aim of fostering new discussions and stimulate new ideas. All in all, the book provides researchers and graduate students in the fields of applied philosophy, epistemology, cognitive science, and artificial intelligence alike with an authoritative snapshot of the latest theories and applications of model-based reasoning.
