Book Description
A comprehensive, step-by-step guide to Google's free website testing, optimization and personalization tool. Website experimentation is an important way to better understand your site visitors' preferences and behaviors and to dramatically improve your site's success. Experiments allow you to explore the impact of changes to site design or content so you can better see how even small modifications can lead to large differences in visitor response and outcomes. Google Optimize Demystified explains how to use Google Optimize to conduct website experiments that help you capitalize on current site strengths and minimize or eliminate current site weaknesses. Unfortunately, many site owners/managers are reluctant to experiment. This is due to the beliefs that experiments are: complicated and requite special expertise to plan, too expensive and disruptive, not relevant to my site's goals and objectives, and difficult to interpret, especially the statistics. Fortunately, Google Optimize eliminates all of these problems. Once you're familiar with Optimize, you'll be able to plan and deploy an experiment in about 10 minutes with no cumbersome HTML programming and without jeopardizing current site response. Additionally, Optimize presents results based on your existing metrics and business objectives to make it easy to see what you should do next to improve site success. The core of Google Optimize Demystified focuses on the three types of experiments you can conduct via Optimize: A/B, Redirect and Multivariate. Each type is explained via a case study and each step of the development and analysis process is explained clearly and concisely. But, the book goes beyond simply explaining how to plan, conduct and analyze an Optimize experiment. The book also provides clear and comprehensive discussions of additional topics that contribute to a broader range of planning and analysis options. All of these aspects of the book are illustrated in it's organization and approach. Google Optimize Demystified presents nine sections of content: Section I presents an overview of Google Optimize characteristics and benefits, explains the three types of experiments that can be conducted, describes the steps involved in planning an experiment and explains the characteristics of successful experiments. Section II discusses characteristics and application of regular expressions, goals, events, and segments as they apply to Optimize experiments. Section III discusses the steps you'll use to configure your Google Optimize account. Sections IV through VI each focus on a specific type of experiment. Each section consists of nine chapters that take you through step-by-step creation and interpretation of an A/B, multivariate, or redirect experiment, respectively. The Visual Editor is the free tool you will use to create your experimental variations. The chapters in Section VII explain the Editor's features and describe how to easily create experimental variations by editing text, images, links, and CSS. Targeting is how you specify an experiment's timing and participant characteristics. Section VIII provides a detailed, yet easy to follow discussion of the variations available within four commonly used targeting options: URL, Behavior, Geographic, and Technology. Section IX discusses an additional targeting option: Query parameter targeting. This approach is particularly useful when you are trying to optimize the landing page viewed when your external referral links are clicked. The chapters in this section show you how to add query strings to your referral links, how to target using query parameter information, and how to use this information to conduct a landing page optimization experiment.

Demystifying AI for the Enterprise
Author: Prashant Natarajan
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1351032933
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 433
Book Description
Artificial intelligence (AI) in its various forms –– machine learning, chatbots, robots, agents, etc. –– is increasingly being seen as a core component of enterprise business workflow and information management systems. The current promise and hype around AI are being driven by software vendors, academic research projects, and startups. However, we posit that the greatest promise and potential for AI lies in the enterprise with its applications touching all organizational facets. With increasing business process and workflow maturity, coupled with recent trends in cloud computing, datafication, IoT, cybersecurity, and advanced analytics, there is an understanding that the challenges of tomorrow cannot be solely addressed by today’s people, processes, and products. There is still considerable mystery, hype, and fear about AI in today’s world. A considerable amount of current discourse focuses on a dystopian future that could adversely affect humanity. Such opinions, with understandable fear of the unknown, don’t consider the history of human innovation, the current state of business and technology, or the primarily augmentative nature of tomorrow’s AI. This book demystifies AI for the enterprise. It takes readers from the basics (definitions, state-of-the-art, etc.) to a multi-industry journey, and concludes with expert advice on everything an organization must do to succeed. Along the way, we debunk myths, provide practical pointers, and include best practices with applicable vignettes. AI brings to enterprise the capabilities that promise new ways by which professionals can address both mundane and interesting challenges more efficiently, effectively, and collaboratively (with humans). The opportunity for tomorrow’s enterprise is to augment existing teams and resources with the power of AI in order to gain competitive advantage, discover new business models, establish or optimize new revenues, and achieve better customer and user satisfaction.

ISBN: 3111426149
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 476
Book Description
This book is intended for business professionals that want to understand the fundamental concepts of Artificial Intelligence, their applications and limitations. Built as a collaborative effort between academia and the industry, this book bridges the gap between theory and business application, demystifying AI through fundamental concepts and industry examples. The reader will find here an overview of the different AI techniques to search, plan, reason, learn, adapt, understand and interact. The book covers the two traditional paradigms in AI: the statistical and data-driven AI systems, which learn and perform by ingesting millions of data points into machine learning algorithms, and the consciously modelled AI systems, known as symbolic AI systems, which use explicit symbols to represent the world and make conclusions. Rather than opposing those two paradigms, the book will also show how those different fields can complement each other. All royalties go to a charity. "Demystifying AI reveals its true power: not as a mysterious force, but as a tool for human progress, accessible to all who seek to understand it."

Languages : en
Pages : 261
Book Description
DEMYSTIFYING DEEP LEARNING Discover how to train Deep Learning models by learning how to build real Deep Learning software libraries and verification software! The study of Deep Learning and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) is a significant subfield of artificial intelligence (AI) that can be found within numerous fields: medicine, law, financial services, and science, for example. Just as the robot revolution threatened blue-collar jobs in the 1970s, so now the AI revolution promises a new era of productivity for white collar jobs. Important tasks have begun being taken over by ANNs, from disease detection and prevention, to reading and supporting legal contracts, to understanding experimental data, model protein folding, and hurricane modeling. AI is everywhere—on the news, in think tanks, and occupies government policy makers all over the world —and ANNs often provide the backbone for AI. Relying on an informal and succinct approach, Demystifying Deep Learning is a useful tool to learn the necessary steps to implement ANN algorithms by using both a software library applying neural network training and verification software. The volume offers explanations of how real ANNs work, and includes 6 practical examples that demonstrate in real code how to build ANNs and the datasets they need in their implementation, available in open-source to ensure practical usage. This approachable book follows ANN techniques that are used every day as they adapt to natural language processing, image recognition, problem solving, and generative applications. This volume is an important introduction to the field, equipping the reader for more advanced study. Demystifying Deep Learning readers will also find: A volume that emphasizes the importance of classification Discussion of why ANN libraries, such as Tensor Flow and Pytorch, are written in C++ rather than Python Each chapter concludes with a “Projects” page to promote students experimenting with real code A supporting library of software to accompany the book at https://github.com/nom-de-guerre/RANT An approachable explanation of how generative AI, such as generative adversarial networks (GAN), really work. An accessible motivation and elucidation of how transformers, the basis of large language models (LLM) such as ChatGPT, work. Demystifying Deep Learning is ideal for engineers and professionals that need to learn and understand ANNs in their work. It is also a helpful text for advanced undergraduates to get a solid grounding on the topic.

Venture Capital is a marriage between 'people with money and no ideas' and 'people with ideas and no money'. It is a high-risk investment vehicle with the potential for manifold returns and the possibility of a complete investment written-off. Although it is essentially private money and smaller in size than traditional financing pillars, its impact has been phenomenal, even to the extent of transforming the way we live in the modern world. Yet the fact remains that the business of venture capital is not fully understood by startup founders and fund managers are also not familiar with the inner workings of other venture funds. And, as more public or tax-players’ money flows into this asset class, it begs a shift from the existing esoteric styles to more transparent and predictable operations. It would also be beneficial if the craft of venture capital is well understood by the business community and most importantly, policymakers as Demystifying Venture Capital: How it works and How to get primarily written to address these concerns, and to explain the subject in a nontechnical manner, as far as possible. A handbook for fund managers, startups, academicians interested in the subject, policy makers, and aspiring entrepreneurs, this book is unique as it has been written along with the top 25 venture funds in India as co-authors. The first part builds the concepts and theoretical framework of venture investing throughout the venture capital life cycle, giving readers a robust academic backdrop while the second part offer 25 first-hand accounts of how VCs invest, where they invest, what they look for while investing, providing invaluable insights into the minds and methods of VCs. All in all, this prototype is a first-of-its-kind endeavour to deliver a 360-degree + view of the Venture Capital universe.
