Book title: Cognitive Approach to Natural Language Processing
Authors: Bernadette Sharp, Florence Sedes and Wieslaw Lubaszewski
As natural language processing spans many different disciplines, it is sometimes difficult to understand the contributions and the challenges that each of them presents.
This book explores the special relationship between natural language processing and cognitive science, and the contribution of computer science to these two fields.
It is based on the recent research papers submitted at the international workshops of Natural Language and Cognitive Science which was launched in 2004 in an effort to bring together natural language researchers, computer scientists, and cognitive and linguistic scientists to collaborate together and advance research in natural language processing.
The chapters cover areas related to language understanding, language generation, word association, word sense disambiguation, word predictability, text production and authorship attribution.
This book will be relevant to students and researchers interested in the interdisciplinary nature of language processing.
Automation is about to do away with millions of jobs. A business psychologist claims he has at least some of the answers
The good news is that the job you hate is about to be automated. The bad news is that you’re about to be out of work.
“Jobs that cannot be automated are on a very short list,” says Robert Pasick, PhD, an executive coach and organizational psychologist who also teaches at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business. “If you are afraid to leave the job you hate, it may be about to leave you.”
Journalists fear computers that are already writing news stories. Truck drivers fear self-driving trucks, already carrying freight in controlled experiments. Accounting, lawyering, health care, package delivery, even Uber driver jobs are on the verge of automation.

Robotics and Automation Industry Thought Leaders
It’s been a year since the launch of the Robotics and Automation News website.
And as part of our celebrations, we are moving into book publishing, the first one being this one, a collection of some of the best interviews we have conducted over the past year.
It’s the first of a series, as we interview interesting people from the tech world on an ongoing basis, and we thought people might like to purchase the conversations as collections contained within a book such as this one.
Included in the first of the series are some fascinating interviews with key industry professionals, all of whom are listed and named below, along with the first paragraph for the interview article.
Visit Amazon now and buy a copy for yourself, and one for each person in your social network maybe, and be happy in the knowledge that it will help secure this website and, by extension, the Internet itself.

If AI Ruled the World
Some people say artificial intelligence will eventually take over the world, and make humans obsolete and useless in large parts of society, starting with firing us from all employment – low-skilled or high. Others say it’s already happened – that AI rules the world… Buy the book

‘Bish, Bash, Bosch’
It’s a small word. Bosch. Associated with so many things, most famously “bish bash bosch”. A meaningless phrase really, but according to the Urban Dictionary, it’s “used to describe the efficiency of a process you have just explained, often used if there are three steps to the process”… Buy the book

Astronomical Growth
Industrial robots have always been somewhat captivating to watch because of their precision of movement, but their sheer size and power exudes an air of ominous foreboding, which is why the vast majority have always been caged off, kept away from their human counterparts at factories, where they were mostly to be found… Buy the book

Elsevier has published two new books in the area of Control Systems.
Learning-Based Adaptive Control: An Extremum Seeking Approach – Theory and Applications by Mouhacine Benosman
Adaptive control is well understood, yet it has a very active research frontier. This book focuses on a specific subclass of adaptive control, namely, learning-based adaptive control.
As systems evolve during time or are exposed to unstructured environments, it is expected that some of their characteristics may change.
The book offers a new perspective about how to deal with these variations.
By merging together Model-Free and Model-Based learning algorithms, it demonstrates, using a number of mechatronic examples, how the learning process can be shortened and optimal control performance can be reached and maintained.
The book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in adaptive robust control, and engineers in the mechatronics field.
Control of Complex Systems: Theory and Applications edited by Kyriakos Vamvoudakis and Sarangapani Jagannathan
This book cover a variety of interests within the broader field of learning, adaptation, optimization and networked control.
It groups these topics into five sections:
The diversity of the research presented gives readers a unique opportunity to explore a comprehensive overview of a field of great interest to control and system theorists.
The book is intended for researchers and control engineers in machine learning, adaptive control, optimization and automatic control systems.
