Advances in Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) have created a new class of computer systems that exhibit astonishing proficiency on a wide variety of tasks with superhuman performance, producing novel text, images, music, and software by analyzing enormous collections of digitized information. Soon, these systems will provide expert medical care; offer legal advice; draft documents; write computer programs; tutor our children; and generate music and art. These advances will accelerate progress in science, art, and human knowledge, but they will also bring new dangers. Over the past few years, rapid advances in Machine Learning have created a new subfield of Artificial Intelligence: Generative AI. These programs produce novel text, images, music, and software by analyzing enormous collections of digitized material. The first wave of GAIs are primarily focused on engaging in natural language conversation. Called “Large Language Models” (LLMs), they already exhibit astonishing proficiency on a wide variety of tasks with superhuman performance—​as well as a disturbing inclination for falsehood, illogic, and expressions of ersatz emotion, such as declaring their love for interlocutors. They chat with users in plain language and solve a broad range of complex problems with ease. Soon, LLMs will provide expert medical care, dispense legal advice, draft our documents, tutor our children, offer advice, conduct therapy, write computer programs, and manage our organizations and infrastructure. A related class of GAIs generate visual images from simple descriptions that are virtually indistinguishable from human artwork or photographs.

This book is for those who wish to understand how Python debugging is and can be used to develop robust and reliable AI, Machine Learning, and cloud computing software. It will teach you a novel pattern-oriented approach to diagnose and debug abnormal software structure and behavior. The book begins with an introduction to the pattern-oriented software diagnostics and debugging process that, before performing Python debugging, diagnoses problems in various software artifacts such as memory dumps, traces, and logs. Next, you’ll learn to use various debugging patterns through Python case studies that model abnormal software behavior. You’ll also be exposed to Python debugging techniques specific to cloud native and Machine Learning environments and explore how recent advances in AI/ML can help in Python debugging. Over the course of the book, case studies will show you how to resolve issues around environmental problems, crashes, hangs, resource spikes, leaks, and performance degradation. This includes tracing, logging, and analyziing memory dumps using native WinDbg and GDB debuggers. Upon completing this book, you will have the knowledge and tools needed to employ Python debugging in the development of AI, Machine Learning, and cloud computing applications.

Foundations of Data Science with Python introduces readers to the fundamentals of Data Science, including data manipulation and visualization, probability, statistics, and dimensionality reduction. This book is targeted toward engineers and scientists, but it should be readily understandable to anyone who knows basic calculus and the essentials of computer programming. It uses a computational-first approach to Data Science: the reader will learn how to use Python and the associated data-science libraries to visualize, transform, and model data, as well as how to conduct statistical tests using real data sets. Rather than relying on obscure formulas that only apply to very specific statistical tests, this book teaches readers how to perform statistical tests via resampling; this is a simple and general approach to conducting statistical tests using simulations that draw samples from the data being analyzed. The statistical techniques and tools are explained and demonstrated using a diverse collection of data sets to conduct statistical tests related to contemporary topics. This book can be used as an undergraduate textbook for an Introduction to Data Science course or to provide a more contemporary approach in courses like Engineering Statistics.
