    James Edwards was born in the post construction era, 14 years after the Panama Canal was built. In the book we see him as he goes through different stages of life in a town that also changes with events and time. We follow him as he transitions from childhood to adolescence to adulthood and we get to experience the personal challenges, setbacks, and, as a young adult, the consequence of a choice he makes due to circumstances at the time. His life is affected, and, in many ways, shaped by that choice; and though it cleared a pathway for him, nevertheless, it caused him to pay a very high price. He goes on to achieve material success abroad and joins with other expatriates in noble causes to honor and celebrate the sacrifices and contributions of their fathers and mothers, whom the world had forgotten; but, in the end, there lingered with him, still, an emotional and psychological attachment to the past. Not only does he remember the town that is vanished, his forebears, his birthplace, the sites, the favorite places, his childhood companions, the laughter, tears and happy events, but there is also the memory of a promise unfulfilled. Perhaps, this is best illustrated by the sight of a solitary rose lying on an empty park bench as the story comes to its end

    This is a story, buried in the archives of the past, about a young, unfledged teenager, John Graham Jr., who dreamt of becoming a digger on the Panama Canal like his father and who romanticized the experience as "the moving of mountains and the braving of swamps and jungles." To him it was going to be the greatest adventure that he looked forward to. When, in the year 1910, his father sent for him to come to Panama to join him, his dream came true, but not in the way that he had expected. In a period of only five short years after leaving home, his once untarnished and unblemished life was so deeply and so remarkably transformed that even his aunts Beulah and Sarah could not recognize him when he returned to Jamaica.

    How do you teach computers to learn from data?This hands-on introduction teaches the basics of machine learning with R, H2O and Keras using numerous examples. You will be able to select the appropriate approach and apply it to your own questions such as image classification or predictions.Since erroneous data can jeopardize learning success, special attention is paid to data preparation and analysis. For this purpose, R provides highly developed and scientifically sound analysis libraries, the functionality and application of which are shown.You will learn for which applications statistical methods such as regression, classification, factor, cluster and time series analysis are sufficient and when it is better to use neural networks such as e.g. B. CNNs or RNNs should work. The H20 framework and Keras are used here.Examples show how you can analyze stumbling blocks in the learning process or how to avoid them from the outset. You will also learn under what circumstances you can reuse the results of machine learning and how to do this.This book is a translation of "Maschinelles Lernen mit R", Carl Hanser Verlag, ISBN 978-3446471658
