Neurolinguistics

作者：  John C. L. Ingram　著

出版社：Cambridge University Press 2012-1-1

简介：What biological factors make human communication possible? Howdo we process and understand language? How does brain damage affectthese mechanisms, and what can this tell us about how language isorganized in the brain? The field of neurolinguistics seeks toanswer these questions, which are crucial to linguistics,psychology and speech pathology alike. This textbook introduces thecentral topics in neurolinguistics: speech recognition, word andsentence structure, meaning, and discourse - in both 'normal'speakers and those with language disorders. It moves on to providea balanced discussion of key areas of debate such as modularity andthe 'language areas' of the brain, 'connectionist' versus'symbolic' modelling of language processing, and the nature oflinguistic and mental representations. Making accessible over halfa century of scientific and linguistic research, and containingextensive study questions, it will be welcomed by all thoseinterested in the relationship between language and the brain.

作者：  Haruzo Hida　著

出版社：Cambridge University Press 2012-1-1

简介：　　This book provides a comprehensive account of a key (andperhaps the most important) theory upon which the Taylor–Wilesproof of Fermat's last theorem is based. The book begins with anoverview of the theory of automorphic forms on linear algebraicgroups and then covers the basic theory and results on ellipticmodular forms, including a substantial simplification of theTaylor–Wiles proof by Fujiwara and Diamond. It contains a detailedexposition of the representation theory of profinite groups(including deformation theory), as well as the Euler characteristicformulas of Galois cohomology groups. The final chapter presents aproof of a non-abelian class number formula and includes severalnew results from the author. The book will be of interest tograduate students and researchers in number theory (includingalgebraic and analytic number theorists) and arithmetic algebraicgeometry.

作者：  本社　编著

出版社：Cambridge University Press 2012-1-1

简介：　　A thorough introduction to the formal foundations andpractical applications of Bayesian networks. It provides anextensive discussion of techniques for building Bayesian networksthat model real-world situations, including techniques forsynthesizing models from design, learning models from data, anddebugging models using sensitivity analysis. It also treats exactand approximate inference algorithms at both theoretical andpractical levels. The treatment of exact algorithms covers the maininference paradigms based on elimination and conditioning andincludes advanced methods for compiling Bayesian networks,time-space tradeoffs, and exploiting local structure of massivelyconnected networks.
