Machine Learning Security Principles - Keep data networks users and applications safe from prying eyes

John Paul Mueller

Summary

Businesses are leveraging the power of AI to make undertakings that used to be complicated and pricy much easier, faster, and cheaper. The first part of this book will explore these processes in more depth, which will help you in understanding the role security plays in machine learning.
As you progress to the second part, you’ll learn more about the environments where ML is commonly used and dive into the security threats that plague them using code, graphics, and real-world references.
The next part of the book will guide you through the process of detecting hacker behaviors in the modern computing environment, where fraud takes many forms in ML, from gaining sales through fake reviews to destroying an adversary’s reputation. Once you’ve understood hacker goals and detection techniques, you’ll learn about the ramifications of deep fakes, followed by mitigation strategies.
This book also takes you through best practices for embracing ethical data sourcing, which reduces the security risk associated with data. You’ll see how the simple act of removing personally identifiable information (PII) from a dataset lowers the risk of social engineering attacks.
By the end of this machine learning book, you'll have an increased awareness of the various attacks and the techniques to secure your ML systems effectively.

Gut Damage - The Devastating...

Brian Gibson

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. “Gut Damage” takes readers on an essential journey into the unseen impacts of alcohol on the body’s most delicate and vital system — the gut microbiome. Many are familiar with the short-term effects of drinking. Yet, few understand how alcohol systematically disrupts the gut’s health, throwing the delicate balance of beneficial bacteria off course and leading to a ripple effect of harm throughout the body. This book sheds light on the lasting damage that alcohol inflicts on the gut lining, resulting in heightened inflammation, compromised immunity, and an increased vulnerability to both physical and mental health challenges.
Incorporating the latest research and compelling case studies, “Gut Damage” demystifies the science of the microbiome and its profound influence on everything from mood stability and mental clarity to digestion and immune resilience. By examining the complex relationship between alcohol use and chronic health conditions, such as autoimmune diseases, mood disorders, and cognitive impairment, this book empowers readers with knowledge that could be pivotal for their health. Readers will also find guidance on the steps needed to restore a damaged gut, along with practical tips for those wishing to reduce or quit alcohol altogether.
Whether you are a casual drinker, someone concerned with long-term wellness, or seeking recovery from dependency, “Gut Damage” provides a comprehensive understanding of how alcohol can silently harm the body and the actionable insights necessary for restoring and protecting gut health.

Humanity Reimagined - Where We...

Martin Fiore

For years, executive Martin Fiore has been advising leaders from a wide range of industries about technological trends that are reshaping the world of business, from artificial intelligence and the rise of autonomous systems to human/machine convergence. Now, in Humanity Reimagined, Fiore explores how these trends are disrupting industries, changing the world of work, transforming the economy, and creating both threats and opportunities for leaders at all levels, from entrepreneurs nurturing start-up businesses to C-suite leaders at the world’s biggest corporations.  
Fiore’s main focus is on what we can do to ensure that the forces of change now sweeping the planet will protect and enhance the most cherished qualities of human life rather than undermining them. He offers thoughtful recommendations for addressing many of the big issues that today’s transformational technologies are raising, from the threats to privacy posed by misuse of big data to the infiltration of autonomous systems by racial and gender bias. Most important, Fiore provides advice on how to prepare for an unpredictable future that business leaders, policy makers, and individuals forging their careers will find both practical and inspiring.  
“Fiore combines perceptive forecasting of change with an understanding of how the world and public already has shifted, making a compelling case that making the best of the future demands improving upon the leadership of the past.”—BookLife Reviews 
“For those looking for a glimpse at the future, this book isn’t a bad place to start. An encouraging, unflinching look at the tech changes to come.”—Kirkus Reviews

Federated Learning Data Generation

Sam Miley

Artificial intelligence depends on data. But what happens when useful data cannot be collected, centralized, or freely shared? 
 
Federated Learning offers a different approach. Instead of bringing all data into one central location, machine learning models can be trained across distributed devices, systems, and organizations while keeping much of the underlying data where it is generated. 
 
At the same time, modern AI increasingly faces another challenge: obtaining enough high-quality data to train reliable models. Data generation—through simulations, augmentation, synthetic datasets, and distributed sources—can help expand what is available without relying entirely on centralized data collection.

Sex is a Spectrum - The...

Agustin Fuentes

Being human entails an astonishingly complex interplay of biology and culture, and while there are important differences between women and men, there is a lot more variation and overlap than we may realize. Sex Is a Spectrum offers a bold new paradigm for understanding the biology of sex, drawing on the latest science to explain why the binary view of the sexes is fundamentally flawed. 
 
 
 
In this lively and provocative book, leading biological anthropologist Agustín Fuentes begins by tracing the origin and evolution of sex, describing the many ways in the animal kingdom of being female, male, or both. Turning to humans, he presents evidence from the fossil and archaeological record that attests to the diversity of our ancestors' sexual bonds, gender roles, and family and community structures, and shows how the same holds true in the lived experiences of people today. Fuentes tackles hot-button debates around sports and medicine, explaining why we can acknowledge that females and males are not the same while also embracing a biocultural reality where none of us fits neatly into only one of two categories. 
 
 
 
Bringing clarity and reason to a contentious issue, Sex Is a Spectrum shares a scientist's perspective on why a binary view of sex and gender is not only misguided but harmful, and why there are multitudes of ways of being human.

Take to the Trees - A Story of...

Marguerite Holloway

Journalist Marguerite Holloway arrives at the Women's Tree Climbing Workshop as a climbing novice, but with a passion for trees and a deep concern about their future. Run by twin sister tree doctors Bear LeVangie and Melissa LeVangie Ingersoll, the workshop helps people develop impressive technical skills and ascend into the canopy. As Holloway tackles unfamiliar equipment and dizzying heights, she learns about the science of trees and tells the stories of charismatic species, including hemlock, aspen, Atlantic white cedar, oak, and beech. She spotlights experts who are chronicling the great dying that is underway in forests around the world as trees face simultaneous and accelerating threats from drought, heat, floods, disease, and other disruptions. 
 
 
 
As she climbs, Holloway also comes to understand the profound significance of trees in her relationship with her late mother and brother. The book's rousing final chapter offers something new: a grander environmental and arboreal optimism, in which the story of trees and their resilience meshes with that of people working to steward the forests of the future, and of community found among fellow tree climbers. A lyrical work of memoir and reportage, Take to the Trees sounds the alarm about rapid arboreal decline while also offering hope about how we might care for our forests and ourselves.
