Abstract

"This authoritative book draws on the latest research to explore the interplay of high-dimensional statistics with optimization. Through an accessible analysis of fundamental problems of hypothesis testing and signal recovery, Anatoli Juditsky and Arkadi Nemirovski show how convex optimization theory can be used to devise and analyze near-optimal statistical inferences. Statistical Inference via Convex Optimization is an essential resource for optimization specialists who are new to statistics and its applications, and for data scientists who want to improve their optimization methods. Juditsky and Nemirovski provide the first systematic treatment of the statistical techniques that have arisen from advances in the theory of optimization. They focus on four well-known statistical problems-sparse recovery, hypothesis testing, and recovery from indirect observations of both signals and functions of signals-demonstrating how they can be solved more efficiently as convex optimization problems. The emphasis throughout is on achieving the best possible statistical performance. The construction of inference routines and the quantification of their statistical performance are given by efficient computation rather than by analytical derivation typical of more conventional statistical approaches. In addition to being computation-friendly, the methods described in this book enable practitioners to handle numerous situations too difficult for closed analytical form analysis, such as composite hypothesis testing and signal recovery in inverse problems. Statistical Inference via Convex Optimization features exercises with solutions along with extensive appendixes, making it ideal for use as a graduate text"--

Abstract

De hedendaagse kunst dreigt overspoeld te raken door de rage van het citeren, zo schrijft Klaus Honnef in de rijk gei͏̈llustreerde catalogus (in kleur en zwart-wit) over parodie, humor en spot in de Nederlandse kunst. Dat citeren komt niet voort uit een ironische houding maar uit de behoefte te parodie͏̈ren of om de travestie te beoefenen. Daarom was het een goed idee Konrad Boehmer te vragen over muziek te schrijven, volgens hem lijdt de Nederlandse muziek na de zeventiende-eeuwse Sweelinck een kommerlijk bestaan. In de tegendraadse beeldende kunst moeten we aan Wim T. Schippers, Ger van Elk en Rob Scholte denken. De schoenen van Jan Jansen en de sieraden van Gijs Bakker zijn waarschijnlijk de meest typerende voorbeelden van tegendraadsheid, juist omdat ze nog gedragen worden ook. Het boek geeft een ruim overzicht (in beeld en tekst) van werk van ruim 30 kunstenaars uit die mogelijke disciplines (schilderkunst, muziek, film, etc.) uit het begin van de jaren negentig. Bekroond als een van de Best Verzorgde Boeken 1990, hors concours.

Abstract

This book provides educators with an accessible guide to best practices concerning content-based instruction (CBI) models and their use in English learner inclusive classrooms. The author effectively bridges the gap between theory and practice with a critical analysis of practical examples and diverse strategies for the inclusion of English learners into K-12 general education courses. The book also raises controversial questions regarding who is qualified to teach English learners and who is responsible for doing so, looking at the difficulties faced by both general educators and ESL teachers in Inclusive Classrooms. By providing a lens through which both ESL teachers and general educators are able to analyze, compare and contrast a range of widely-employed CBI methods, this book allows teachers to make informed decisions in their EL program development and work with English learners in K-12 schools.

Abstract

The first large-scale American museum exhibition to survey the colorful history of graffiti and street art movements internationally. Graffiti has been a form of public communication and identification since ancient times. In its contemporary manifestation, it has redefined the urban landscape and influenced generations of artists. This landmark exhibition traces the birth and dissemination of styles through "writers" and street artists around the world—including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Blu, Martha Cooper, Shepard Fairey, Stelios Faitakis, Futura, Phil Frost, Os Gemeos, Keith Haring, Todd James (REAS), Margaret Kilgallen, Lady Pink, Barry McGee (Twist), Steve Powers (ESPO), Lee Quinones, Retna, Kenny Scharf, Swoon, and Ed Templeton, among many others—focusing on New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, as well as international locations. Highlighting the connection between graffiti and street art and other vibrant subcultures, such as those that developed around Hip Hop in the Bronx and skateboarding in Southern California, Art in the Streets explores parallel movements in dance and music. A selection of new works created for the show is presented alongside the historical survey of approximately 30 of the most important artists seminal to the genre. The exhibition is curated by MoCA Director Jeffrey Deitch, working with a curatorial advisory committee that includes Charlie Ahearn, Roger Gastman, Carlo McCormick, and Aaron Rose.
