A revealing look at how negative biases against women of color are embedded in search engine results and algorithms Run a Google search for "black girls"-what will you find? "Big Booty" and other sexually explicit terms are likely to come up as top search terms. But, if you type in "white girls," the results are radically different. The ......
Covering the essential concepts of the computer science area of algorithms, this 6-page laminated guide is part 1 of 2 guides that also serves as a reference for designing and analyzing algorithms. Guaranteed to boost grades in required algorithms courses this reference tool can continue to offer support well beyond a course. While all computing ......
What identity means in an algorithmic age: how it works, how our lives are controlled by it, and how we can resist it Algorithms are everywhere, organizing the near limitless data that exists in our world. Derived from our every search, like, click, and purchase, algorithms determine the news we get, the ads we see, the information accessible to ......

The Promise and Peril of Self-Publishing in the Digital Book Era
Uncovering race, gender, and sexual biases in popular self-publishing platforms The average reader need not go far in a bookstore before, knowingly or not, they encounter authors who started their careers by self-publishing prior to achieving commercial success. Examples include Margaret Atwood, Andy Weir, Colleen Hoover, Anna Todd, E. L. ......

Conditional Gradient Methods: From Core Principles to AI Applications offers a definitive and modern treatment of one of the most elegant and versatile algorithmic families in optimization: the Frank-Wolfe method and its many variants. Originally proposed in the 1950s, these projection-free techniques have seen a powerful resurgence, now playing a ......
Most books on algorithms are narrowly focused on a single field of application. This unique book cuts across discipline boundaries, exposing readers to the most successful algorithms from a variety of fields. Algorithm derivation is a legitimate branch of the mathematical sciences driven by hardware advances and the demands of many scientific ......
This concise text presents an introduction to the emerging area of reducing complex nonlinear differential equations or time-resolved data sets to spectral submanifolds (SSMs). SSMs are ubiquitous low-dimensional attracting invariant manifolds that can be constructed systematically, building on the spectral properties of the linear part of a ......
