Data Matching
Author: Peter Christen
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642311644
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 279
Book Description
Data matching (also known as record or data linkage, entity resolution, object identification, or field matching) is the task of identifying, matching and merging records that correspond to the same entities from several databases or even within one database. Based on research in various domains including applied statistics, health informatics, data mining, machine learning, artificial intelligence, database management, and digital libraries, significant advances have been achieved over the last decade in all aspects of the data matching process, especially on how to improve the accuracy of data matching, and its scalability to large databases. Peter Christen’s book is divided into three parts: Part I, “Overview”, introduces the subject by presenting several sample applications and their special challenges, as well as a general overview of a generic data matching process. Part II, “Steps of the Data Matching Process”, then details its main steps like pre-processing, indexing, field and record comparison, classification, and quality evaluation. Lastly, part III, “Further Topics”, deals with specific aspects like privacy, real-time matching, or matching unstructured data. Finally, it briefly describes the main features of many research and open source systems available today. By providing the reader with a broad range of data matching concepts and techniques and touching on all aspects of the data matching process, this book helps researchers as well as students specializing in data quality or data matching aspects to familiarize themselves with recent research advances and to identify open research challenges in the area of data matching. To this end, each chapter of the book includes a final section that provides pointers to further background and research material. Practitioners will better understand the current state of the art in data matching as well as the internal workings and limitations of current systems. Especially, they will learn that it is often not feasible to simply implement an existing off-the-shelf data matching system without substantial adaption and customization. Such practical considerations are discussed for each of the major steps in the data matching process.

String Tech
Author: Matthew H Spieker
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781955697118
Category : Bowed stringed instruments
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This is a textbook for preservice teachers or for current teachers who find themselves teaching a traditional string ensemble. The material is introductory and presents itself as a "mashup" of string pedagogy and school instrumental method books.The textbook is divided into three parts: Part I - Basic Concepts, Part II - Workbook, Exercises, and Music, Part III - Bowings and RhythmsPart I - Basic Concepts covers the essential ideas you need to begin the journey of playing the stringed instruments violin, viola, cello, and double bass. Topics covered include: Instrument Nomenclature, Bow Nomenclature, Instrument Care, Tuning String Instruments, Instrument Set-upPizzicato, Left Hand Setup and Finger Placements, Hand Frames, Intonation, Shifting, Bow Holds, Bow Placement and Drawing the Bow, Tone Production, and Dynamics.Part II - Workbook, Exercises, and Music is similar to instrumental method books a teacher might use in a middle school classroom. Good string pedagogy divides performance concepts into left side and right side topics. The left side is about things like instrument setup, hand frames, intonation, vibrato, and more. The right side is about things like bow hold, tone production, articulation, rhythm, slurs, bowing, and more. Part II follows this by arranging the left side topics on the left side and the right side topics on the right side.Part II is presented with only six different key signatures. Again, this text is an introductory in nature, and it is unnecessary to create materials in every key signature. In addition, these key signatures are sequenced in the same way many middle school method books do. Part III - Bowings and Rhythms details many specific types of bowings a string student will use when playing in an amateur orchestra. There are also several pages devoted to understanding bowings in both simple and compound meters.
