Federated Learning with Python - Design and implement a federated learning system and develop applications using existing frameworks

Kiyoshi Nakayama PhD, George Jeno

Synopsis

Federated learning (FL) is a paradigm-shifting technology in AI that enables and accelerates machine learning (ML), allowing you to work on private data. It has become a must-have solution for most enterprise industries, making it a critical part of your learning journey. This book helps you get to grips with the building blocks of FL and how the systems work and interact with each other using solid coding examples.
FL is more than just aggregating collected ML models and bringing them back to the distributed agents. This book teaches you about all the essential basics of FL and shows you how to design distributed systems and learning mechanisms carefully so as to synchronize the dispersed learning processes and synthesize the locally trained ML models in a consistent manner. This way, you’ll be able to create a sustainable and resilient FL system that can constantly function in real-world operations. This book goes further than simply outlining FL's conceptual framework or theory, as is the case with the majority of research-related literature.
By the end of this book, you’ll have an in-depth understanding of the FL system design and implementation basics and be able to create an FL system and applications that can be deployed to various local and cloud environments.

The AI Whisperer - How Smart...

TJ Walker

Most people use artificial intelligence like a search engine: they type a vague request, receive a generic response, and blame the tool. The real difference between average and exceptional AI results is often communication. 
 
In The AI Whisperer, communication expert TJ Walker shows you how to get more useful, accurate, and relevant results from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, and other AI tools by applying timeless communication principles. 
 
You will learn how to communicate with clarity, provide the right context, define tone and audience, set effective constraints, refine weak responses, use AI as a thinking partner, prepare for difficult conversations and presentations, and build a personal prompt system that improves over time. 
 
This is not a technical guide to coding or software engineering. It is a practical audiobook for professionals, managers, entrepreneurs, consultants, educators, creators, students, and anyone who wants to use AI more effectively at work and in everyday life. 
 
The AI Whisperer: How Smart Communicators Get More from Artificial Intelligence is written and narrated by TJ Walker and published by Ultamize Network. It is part of the Ultamize Personal Development Podcast Network, a growing collection of practical learning experiences focused on communication, leadership, confidence, productivity, career development, and personal growth.

Generative Deep Learning -...

David Foster

Generative AI is the hottest topic in tech. This practical book teaches machine learning engineers and data scientists how to use TensorFlow and Keras to create impressive generative deep learning models from scratch, including variational autoencoders (VAEs), generative adversarial networks (GANs), Transformers, normalizing flows, energy-based models, and denoising diffusion models. 
 
 
 
The book starts with the basics of deep learning and progresses to cutting-edge architectures. Through tips and tricks, you'll understand how to make your models learn more efficiently and become more creative. You will discover how VAEs can change facial expressions in photos; train GANs to generate images based on your own dataset; build diffusion models to produce new varieties of flowers; train your own GPT for text generation; learn how large language models like ChatGPT are trained; explore state-of-the-art architectures such as StyleGAN2 and ViT-VQGAN; compose polyphonic music using Transformers and MuseGAN; understand how generative world models can solve reinforcement learning tasks; and dive into multimodal models such as DALL.E 2, Imagen, and Stable Diffusion. 
 
 
 
This book also explores the future of generative AI and how individuals and companies can proactively begin to leverage this remarkable new technology to create competitive advantage.

Artificial Intelligence -...

Bright Mills

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a transformative field of computer science dedicated to building systems that can perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence. These tasks include learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, language understanding, and decision-making. This comprehensive guide explores the foundational principles of AI, its historical evolution, methodologies, real-world applications, ethical challenges, and the future it holds. The document begins by defining AI, its goals, and its place in the broader field of computer science. It discusses the major branches, such as machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, robotics, and expert systems. Following that, the paper delves into the historical timeline of AI—from early philosophical concepts to the rise of neural networks and deep learning in the 21st century. The core methodologies are explored in-depth, including supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning, as well as symbolic AI, heuristic approaches, and hybrid models. It further illustrates how AI is integrated across industries like healthcare, finance, manufacturing, education, transportation, and defense. The guide also addresses the critical ethical and societal questions surrounding AI: data privacy, algorithmic bias, surveillance, job displacement, and the need for regulation and responsible AI development. Finally, it speculates on the future trajectory of AI, including artificial general intelligence (AGI), quantum AI, and human-AI symbiosis. It highlights both the immense opportunities AI offers and the serious challenges it poses. This 10,000-word exposition aims to serve students, researchers, policymakers, and enthusiasts by offering a detailed, accessible, and balanced perspective on one of the most powerful technologies of the 21st century.

Falcon

Helen Macdonald

Bestselling author Helen Macdonald explores the natural and cultural history of the falcon.
The fastest animal alive, the falcon deserves attention not just for the combination of speed, power, beauty and ferocity that have made it an object of fascination for thousands of years, but for the light it sheds on the cultures through which it has flown. This book, bridging science and cultural history, surveys the practical and symbolic uses of falcons in human culture in new and exciting ways.
Bestselling natural history writer Helen Macdonald follows the movements of the falcon, her personal experience and knowledge of falconry enriching the history and lore of this bird of prey. She ranges across the globe and over many millennia, taking in natural history, myth and legend, falconry, science and conservation, and falcons in the military, in urban settings and the corporate world. Along the way we discover how falcons were mobilized in secret military projects, their links with espionage, the Third Reich and the space programme, and even how they have featured in erotic stories.
Originally published in 2006, this new format edition features a new introduction. Combining in-depth practical, personal and scientific knowledge, Macdonald offers a fascinating account of the place of these birds in human history. Falcon is for lovers of the countryside, birdwatchers or anyone fascinated by these captivating birds.
"This is a wonderful book. It is not a falconry text, nor is it a falcon biology or a conservation one. Macdonald's slim volume is far more ambitious: it is an attempt to capture and indeed explain the essence of the falcon. This is simply a most beautifully considered social history of the genus Falco … it informs and provokes in equal measure … Macdonald writes beautifully and with a refreshing clarity."—The Falconer
