SummaryPractical Probabilistic Programming introduces the working programmer to probabilistic programming. In it, you''ll learn how to use the PP paradigm to model application domains and then express those probabilistic models in code. Although PP can seem abstract, in this book you''ll immediately work on practical examples, like using the Figaro language to build a spam filter and applying Bayesian and Markov networks, to diagnose computer system data problems and recover digital images. Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.About the TechnologyThe data you accumulate about your customers, products, and website users can help you not only to interpret your past, it can also help you predict your future! Probabilistic programming uses code to draw probabilistic inferences from data. By applying specialized algorithms, your programs assign degrees of probability to conclusions. This means you can forecast future events like sales trends, computer system failures, experimental outcomes, and many other critical concerns. About the BookPractical Probabilistic Programming introduces the working programmer to probabilistic programming. In this book, you’ll immediately work on practical examples like building a spam filter, diagnosing computer system data problems, and recovering digital images. You’ll discover probabilistic inference, where algorithms help make extended predictions about issues like social media usage. Along the way, you’ll learn to use functional-style programming for text analysis, object-oriented models to predict social phenomena like the spread of tweets, and open universe models to gauge real-life social media usage. The book also has chapters on how probabilistic models can help in decision making and modeling of dynamic systems. What''s InsideIntroduction to probabilistic modelingWriting probabilistic programs in FigaroBuilding Bayesian networksPredicting product lifecyclesDecision-making algorithmsAbout the ReaderThis book assumes no prior exposure to probabilistic programming.

SummaryReactive Design Patterns is a clearly written guide for building message-driven distributed systems that are resilient, responsive, and elastic. In this book you''ll find patterns for messaging, flow control, resource management, and concurrency, along with practical issues like test-friendly designs. All patterns include concrete examples using Scala and Akka. Foreword by Jonas Bonér. Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.About the TechnologyModern web applications serve potentially vast numbers of users - and they need to keep working as servers fail and new ones come online, users overwhelm limited resources, and information is distributed globally. A Reactive application adjusts to partial failures and varying loads, remaining responsive in an ever-changing distributed environment. The secret is message-driven architecture - and design patterns to organize it.About the BookReactive Design Patterns presents the principles, patterns, and best practices of Reactive application design. You''ll learn how to keep one slow component from bogging down others with the Circuit Breaker pattern, how to shepherd a many-staged transaction to completion with the Saga pattern, how to divide datasets by Sharding, and more. You''ll even see how to keep your source code readable and the system testable despite many potential interactions and points of failure. What''s InsideThe definitive guide to the Reactive ManifestoPatterns for flow control, delimited consistency, fault tolerance, and much moreHard-won lessons about what doesn''t workArchitectures that scale under tremendous loadAbout the ReaderMost examples use Scala, Java, and Akka. Readers should be familiar with distributed systems.About the AuthorDr. Roland Kuhn led the Akka team at Lightbend and coauthored the Reactive Manifesto. Brian Hanafee and Jamie Allen are experienced distributed systems architects. Table of ContentsPART 1 - INTRODUCTIONWhy Reactive? A walk-through of the Reactive Manifesto Tools of the trade PART 2 - THE PHILOSOPHY IN A NUTSHELLMessage passing Location transparency Divide and conquer Principled failure handling Delimited consistency Nondeterminism by need Message flow PART 3 - PATTERNS Testing reactive applications Fault tolerance and recovery patterns Replication patterns Resource-management patterns Message flow patterns Flow control patterns State management and persistence patterns
