E-book The Propagation of Misinformation in Social Media : A Cross-platform A…

While scholars of hearsay, rumor and conspiracism would point to the history of its staying power (Olmsted, 2009), the spread of misinformation and other problematic information is said to be “supercharged” by contemporary social media (Bounegru et al., 2018; Daniels, 2018). The following examines that thesis through an analysis of the current state of what globally could be called the “m…

E-book Gianni Versace

Versace posed and provoked the basic issues of fashion's role. Versace tantalized us with vulgarity.

E-book Reinforcement Learning : An Introduction

Exercising this connection produces a wealth of information about cause and effect, about the consequence…
