Mirkin B.,  Springer International Publishing, New York, NY, 2019. 540 pp. Type: Book (978-3-030002-70-1), Reviews: (2 of 2) This interesting textbook on data analysis considers summarization as a means for developing and augmenting analytical concepts; correlation for enhancing and establishing relations; and visualization as a means to “presenting results in a c... May 16 2022 Dive into algorithms: a Python adventure for the intrepid beginner Tuckfield B.,  No Starch Press, San Francisco, CA, 2021. 248 pp. Type: Book (978-1-718500-68-6) Algorithms--their concepts, theory, and methods--are not limited to computer science. My recipe for making chili for dinner is an algorithm, as are my lesson plans for my courses, and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tax return forms... May 9 2022 Computer networks: a systems approach (6th ed.) Peterson L., Davie B.,  Morgan Kaufmann, Cambridge, MA, 2022. 848 pp. Type: Book (978-1-281820-08-2) The field of computer science and engineering is advancing rapidly, especially in the area of computer networking. As the speed of networks increases, large amounts of data can be transferred at the speed of light. This makes more advanced applica... May 2 2022 A survey on session-based recommender systems Wang S., Cao L., Wang Y., Sheng Q., Orgun M., Lian D.  ACM Computing Surveys 7(54): 1-38, 2022. Type: Article Wang et al. present a comprehensive survey with this paper. A session-based recommender system (SBRS) is a system that makes recommendations to users based on short-term, dynamic user preferences (in a session). It is different from other recommen... Apr 25 2022 BlockQuicksort: avoiding branch mispredictions in Quicksort Edelkamp S., Weiß A.  Journal of Experimental Algorithmics 24(1): 1-22, 2019. Type: Article Quite often algorithms with bad worst-case complexity perform better on the average. Quicksort falls into this class. However, one of the drawbacks of Quicksort is that it is vulnerable to branch mispredictions, that is, branch misses. Modern proc... Apr 18 2022 Leveraging data science for global health Celi L., Majumdar M., Ordonez P., Osorio J., Paik K., Somai M.,  Springer International Publishing, Cham, Switzerland, 2020. 646 pp. Type: Book (978-3-030479-93-0) Medical care is becoming increasingly personalized based on individual patient data.
