Free Download Reinforcement Learning by Richard S. Sutton
English | PDF | 1992 | 173 Pages | ISBN : 0792392345 | 17.1 MB
Reinforcement learning is the learning of a mapping from situations to actions so as to maximize a scalar reward or reinforcement signal. The learner is not told which action to take, as in most forms of machine learning, but instead must discover which actions yield the highest reward by trying them. In the most interesting and challenging cases, actions may affect not only the immediate reward, but also the next situation, and through that all subsequent rewards. These two characteristics - trial-and-error search and delayed reward - are the most important distinguishing features of reinforcement learning.

Free Download Regulating Capitalism: The Politics of Market and Financial Regulation
English | 2025 | ISBN: 3031916220 | 718 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 3 MB
Inspired by Karl Polanyi's assertion that a self-adjusting market cannot persist without undermining the human and natural fabric of society, this book explores the critical role of market regulation in sustaining capitalism. It defends the thesis that "regulation is saving capitalism," while acknowledging the cyclical nature of market regulation: periods of regulation are often followed by waves of deregulation, creating "a swinging pendulum" phenomenon.

Free Download Regnum Chinae: The Printed Western Maps of China to 1735 (Explokart Studies in the History of Cartography) by Marco Caboara
English | October 19, 2022 | ISBN: 9004382038 | 520 pages | PDF | 208 Mb
Listen to the New Books Network Podcast.
The first European map of China faintly relied on the copy of a Chinese original, obtained through bribing and espionage; the last covered in this book was the result of the largest land survey ever made until that time. These two and another 125 maps depict, sometimes uniquely, sometimes copying each other, a country whose images were so different that it was hard to understand which to trust.

Free Download Fabio Scarano, "Regenerative Dialogues for Sustainable Futures: Integrating Science, Arts, Spirituality and Ancestral Knowledge for Plan"
English | ISBN: 3031518403 | 2024 | 190 pages | EPUB | 14 MB
This book is about sustainability in its broadest sense. It argues that the ongoing science-policy dialogue on sustainable development (as framed by the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals) is insufficient to drive the planet to desired sustainable futures. This conversation, followed by transformative action, must be inclusive of other forms of interpretation of reality (arts, spirituality, and ancestral knowledge) and non-modern cosmovisions. This is more a book about dialogues than about the common dualism problem/solution, and such dialogues are approached as an essential trigger of regeneration. The book takes the reader from a historical perspective of the human-nature relationship through to a discussion on sustainable futures as utopias. The optimism conveyed by the book is justified by a plethora of global examples of such regenerative dialogues.

Free Download Neil Hopkins, "Reflections on Identity: Narratives from Educators"
English | ISBN: 3031467930 | 2024 | 172 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
This book seeks to extend perspectives on professional identity in education. Chapters consider the notion of expertise, the impact of managerial approaches, the importance of communities of practice, and the effects of increasingly marketised approaches.
By using narratives, the book opens up a 'conversation' about this important topic. Educators and leaders from a variety of settings will explore their professional experiences and the impact these have had on forming values in the professional role. By drawing on personal experience, individual authors will consider some of the challenges they have encountered as part of identity formation. The significance of organisational cultures is discussed throughout the book and explores the ways in which individual autonomy is both threatened and claimed. Issues discussed include the frequent changes imposed through government initiatives and the social perception of education professionals when compared to other professional roles.
