Postcolonial theory is one of the main frameworks for thinking about the world and acting to change the world. Arising in academia and reshaping humanities and social sciences disciplines, postcolonial theory argues that our ideas about foreigners, ‘the other,’ particularly our negative ideas about them, are determined not by a true will to understand, but rather by our desire to conquer, dominate, and exploit them. According to postcolonial theory, the cause of poverty, tyranny, and misery in the world, and of failed societies around the world, is Euro-American imperialism and colonialism.

English | 2016 | ISBN: 1138486434, 041572712X | EPUB | pages: 136 | 0.6 mb
Today, examples of the public’s engagement with political issues through commercial and communicative mechanisms have become increasingly common. In February 2012, the Susan G. Komen Foundation reversed a decision to cease funding of cancer screening programs through Planned Parenthood amidst massive public disapproval. The same year, restaurant chain Chic-fil-A became embroiled in a massive public debate over statements its President made regarding same-sex marriage. What exactly is going on in such public engagement, and how does this relate to existing ideas regarding the public sphere and political participation? Is the public becoming increasingly vocal in its complaints? Or are new relationships between the public and economic and political leaders emerging?

Applications of Game Theory in Deep Learning (SpringerBriefs in Computer Science)


Free Download Applications of Game Theory in Deep Learning (SpringerBriefs in Computer Science) by Tanmoy Hazra, Kushal Anjaria, Aditi Bajpai
English | March 20, 2024 | ISBN: 3031546520 | 96 pages | MOBI | 0.96 Mb
This book aims to unravel the complex tapestry that interweaves strategic decision-making models with the forefront of deep learning techniques. Applications of Game Theory in Deep Learning provides an extensive and insightful exploration of game theory in deep learning, diving deep into both the theoretical foundations and the real-world applications that showcase this intriguing intersection of fields. Starting with the essential foundations for comprehending both game theory and deep learning, delving into the individual significance of each field, the book culminates in a nuanced examination of Game Theory’s pivotal role in augmenting and shaping the development of Deep Learning algorithms. By elucidating the theoretical underpinnings and practical applications of this synergistic relationship, we equip the reader with a comprehensive understanding of their combined potential. In our digital age, where algorithms and autonomous agents are becoming more common, the combination of game theory and deep learning has opened a new frontier of exploration. The combination of these two disciplines opens new and exciting avenues. We observe how artificial agents can think strategically, adapt to ever-shifting environments, and make decisions that are consistent with their goals and the dynamics of their surroundings. This book presents case studies, methodologies, and real-world applications.
