This book provides an introduction to the basic ideas involved in cybersecurity, whose principal aim is protection of IT systems against unwanted behaviour mediated by the networks which connect them. Due to the widespread use of the Internet in modern society for activities ranging from social networking and entertainment to distribution of utilities and public administration, failures of cybersecurity can threaten almost all aspects of life today. This book gives an introduction to cybersecurity for people who would like to know more about the security risks which arise in the modern IT world, where computers and many other electronic devices communicate with one another through networks. The detailed requirements for cybersecurity vary from one application area to another, but in general terms are a matter of achieving some simple aims: that data must not be read, modified, deleted or made unavailable by persons who are not allowed to. Achievment of such aims is a multidisciplinary challenge, as an IT system consists of both hardware, software and human users, all of which can contribute to the success or failure of efforts to maintain cybersecurity. In this book we therefore look at the most common, both technical and non-technical, ways in which cybersecurity may be threatened, at how you can protect yourself against such threats, and how to deal with situations where this protection fails.

This book discusses the best research roadmaps, strategies, and challenges in data-centric approach of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in various domains. It presents comparative studies of model-centric and data-centric AI. It also highlights different phases in data-centric approach and data-centric principles. The book presents prominent use cases of data-centric AI. It serves as a reference guide for researchers and practitioners in academia and industry. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a multidisciplinary field that aims to create intelligent systems which are able to perform tasks that typically need human intelligence. These systems rely on a variety of building blocks that work together to enable AI capabilities. In this explanation, we will explore the fundamental building blocks of AI, including Machine Learning (ML), Natural Language Processing (NLP), computer vision, and robotics. Data-centric AI empowers decision-making by providing actionable insights and recommendations based on data analysis. By leveraging large datasets, AI systems can identify patterns, correlations, and trends that may not be comprehensive to humans. These insights can inform strategic business decisions, optimize processes, and unlock new opportunities for innovation and growth.

Firstly, it takes common competition scenarios as a guide by giving the main processes of using Machine Learning to solve real-world problems, namely problem modelling, data exploration, feature engineering, model training. And then lists the main points of difficulties, general ideas with solutions in the whole process. Moreover, this book comprehensively covers several common problems in the field of Machine Learning competitions such as recommendation, temporal prediction, advertising, text computing, etc. This book is a systematic introduction to contests in the field of algorithms, not only explaining the theory behind the practice, but also elaborating in detail the guide to scoring and necessary skills needed from various angles, using different cases. Many Deep Learning algorithms have been applying to Natural Language Processing (NLP). The early word embedding model and the subsequent development of convolutional neural networks and recurrent neural networks have played a very important role for this time period, greatly improving the accuracy baseline of the original statistical method and achieving more generalized effects in different fields (such as translation, voice recognition, and other tasks). In the current latest environment, the self-attention mechanism models like transformer structures are applicable to a sea of data, which could then generate training models.

Set theory, logic, discrete mathematics, and fundamental algorithms (along with their correctness and complexity analysis) will always remain useful for computing professionals and need to be understood by students who want to succeed. This textbook explains a number of those fundamental algorithms to programming students in a concise, yet precise, manner. The book includes the background material needed to understand the explanations and to develop such explanations for other algorithms. The author demonstrates that clarity and simplicity are achieved not by avoiding formalism, but by using it properly. The book is self-contained, assuming only a background in high school mathematics and elementary program writing skills. It does not assume familiarity with any specific programming language. Starting with basic concepts of sets, functions, relations, logic, and proof techniques including induction, the necessary mathematical framework for reasoning about the correctness, termination and efficiency of programs is introduced with examples at each stage. Recursive programming is explained in Chapter 7 where an elementary version of the programming language Haskell is introduced.

Professor Stephen A. Cook is a pioneer of the theory of computational complexity. His work on NP-completeness and the P vs. NP problem remains a central focus of this field. Cook won the 1982 Turing Award for "his advancement of our understanding of the complexity of computation in a significant and profound way." This volume includes a selection of seminal papers embodying the work that led to this award, exemplifying Cook's synthesis of ideas and techniques from logic and the theory of computation including NP-completeness, proof complexity, bounded arithmetic, and parallel and space-bounded computation. These papers are accompanied by contributed articles by leading researchers in these areas, which convey to a general reader the importance of Cook's ideas and their enduring impact on the research community. The book also contains biographical material, Cook's Turing Award lecture, and an interview. Together these provide a portrait of Cook as a recognized leader and innovator in mathematics and Computer Science, as well as a gentle mentor and colleague.

This book explores the intersection of blockchain technology, artificial intelligence (AI) and cyber physical systems (CPS). It discusses how these technologies can be integrated to create secure and efficient CPS solutions. The book covers various topics, including the basics of blockchain and AI, their applications in CPS and the challenges of integrating these technologies. It also explores real-world examples of how blockchain and AI are used in CPS, such as smart cities, transportation systems and healthcare. The authors delve into the technical aspects of how blockchain and AI can be used together to enhance CPS security, data privacy and interoperability. They also discuss the potential benefits and limitations of these technologies and provide insights into the future of CPS. The goal of this project was to study time-series data and explore as many options as possible to accurately predict the stock price. Through my research I came to know about Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) which are used specifically for sequence and pattern learning. They are networks with loops in them, allowing information to persist and thus having the ability to memorize the data accurately.

Having a great idea or design is not enough to make your software project succeed. If you want stakeholders to buy into your design and teams to collaborate and contribute to the vision, you also need to communicate effectively. In this practical book, author Jacqui Read shows you how to successfully present your architecture and get stakeholders to jump on board. Misunderstanding and lack of buy-in leads to increasing costs, unmet requirements, and an architecture that is not what you intended. Through constructive examples and patterns, this book shows you how to create documentation and diagrams that actually get the message across to the different audiences you'll face. Software development and architecture have patterns and antipatterns that can be applied (or recognized) in writing code and architecting systems. A pattern is a reusable solution that has been shown to be effective when used to solve a problem. The biggest benefit is that someone else has done the hard work for you, and you just need to apply the solution to your particular situation and problem.
