This book provides a complete practical guide of processing data in public health with R language. On the basis of the author’s research and teaching experiences, this book serves either as a textbook for undergraduates and graduates in public health or as a tutorial for self-learning. Many first-hand examples are presented with source data, R scripts, and graphs, as well as detailed explanations, which could be easily reproduced by readers so as to better understand the data processing principles and procedures. Popular and novel R packages in public health are introduced as well. Years of teaching R to undergraduates has struck me with the realization that even if students are well equipped with a lot of skills in R, they may find it difficult to pick out the proper tools when they need them. Conversely, if they conduct research without learning R, they may have no idea what R can achieve for them. This book is neither a book for the R language, nor for statistics, nor for Data Science, nor for public health. It is a mixture of them. In this book, I would like to demonstrate how to apply R language to processing data in public health with practical examples. Thus, the preferable usage of this book is a textbook for teaching or learning R language or Data Science in public health, although it can also be used across disciplines.

A remarkable facet of the human brain is its ability to manage multiple tasks with apparent simultaneity. Knowledge learned from one task can then be used to enhance problem-solving in other related tasks. In Machine Learning, the idea of leveraging relevant information across related tasks as inductive biases to enhance learning performance has attracted significant interest. In contrast, attempts to emulate the human brain’s ability to generalize in optimization – particularly in population-based evolutionary algorithms – have received little attention to date. Recently, a novel evolutionary search paradigm, Evolutionary Multi-Task (EMT) optimization, has been proposed in the realm of evolutionary computation. Optimization is an essential ingredient in many real-world problem solving systems and Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms.

Today, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning/Deep Learning (ML/DL) have become the hottest areas in information technology. In our society, many intelligent devices rely on AI/ML/DL algorithms/tools for smart operations. Although AI/ML/DL algorithms and tools have been used in many internet applications and electronic devices, they are also vulnerable to various attacks and threats. AI parameters may be distorted by the internal attacker; the DL input samples may be polluted by adversaries; the ML model may be misled by changing the classification boundary, among many other attacks and threats. Such attacks can make AI products dangerous to use. While this discussion focuses on security issues in AI/ML/DL-based systems (i.e., securing the intelligent systems themselves), AI/ML/DL models and algorithms can actually also be used for cyber security (i.e., the use of AI to achieve security).

This book aimed at individuals looking to enhance their data analysis skills. The book provides a comprehensive guide to the Python libraries NumPy, Pandas, and Matplotlib, which are commonly used for data analysis tasks. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different topic in data analysis. The first chapter introduces the NumPy library, which is used for numerical computing tasks such as array manipulation, linear algebra, and Fourier analysis. The subsequent chapters cover the Pandas library, which is used for data manipulation and analysis tasks such as data cleaning, merging, and aggregation. To make it even more convenient for readers, we are offering all the code discussed in the book as Jupyter notebooks on the GitHub. Jupyter notebooks provide an interactive computing environment that enables users to write and run code, as well as create visualizations and documentation in a single document. This makes it a perfect tool for learning and experimenting with Machine Learning and Deep Learning concepts. The code provided on the Github repository can be downloaded and used freely by readers. The notebooks are organized according to the chapters in the book, making it easier for readers to find the relevant code for each concept.

The first application-driven textbook for Artificial Intelligence majors featuring software and hardware full-stack penetration. AI Computing Systems: An Application Driven Perspective adopts the principle of "application-driven, full-stack penetration" and uses the specific intelligent application of "image style migration" to provide students with a sound starting place to learn. This approach enables readers to obtain a full view of the AI computing system. A complete intelligent computing system involves many aspects such as processing chip, system structure, programming environment, software, etc., making it a difficult topic to master in a short time. Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly Deep Learning, is evolving at an incredibly fast pace and has already achieved (or even surpassed) human performance in a number of applications, including image recognition, speech recognition, natural language processing (NLP), and video games.

Spatial Data Science introduces fundamental aspects of spatial data that every data scientist should know before they start working with spatial data. These aspects include how geometries are represented, coordinate reference systems (projections, datums), the fact that the Earth is round and its consequences for analysis, and how attributes of geometries can relate to geometries. In the second part of the book, these concepts are illustrated with data science examples using the R language. In the third part, statistical modelling approaches are demonstrated using real world data examples. After reading this book, the reader will be well equipped to avoid a number of major spatial data analysis errors. The book gives a detailed explanation of the core spatial software packages for R: sf for simple feature access, and stars for raster and vector data cubes – array data with spatial and temporal dimensions. It also shows how geometrical operations change when going from a flat space to the surface of a sphere, which is what sf and stars use when coordinates are not projected (degrees longitude/latitude). Separate chapters detail a variety of plotting approaches for spatial maps using R, and different ways of handling very large vector or raster (imagery) datasets, locally, in databases, or in the cloud. The data used and all code examples are freely available online.

Use continuous Integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) to improve the speed of software delivery. This book presents a game changer—how to use pipelines to automate the software delivery process. The theories about CI/CD are much the same, but the book covers what the development of pipelines looks like and how testing of pipelines themselves should be performed. Most teams just plunge into coding, without thinking about the CI/CD process itself. Why don’t we use the same development method for pipelines that we use for apps? For DevOps engineers and solution architects involved with automating the software supply chain and using application lifecycle management (ALM)/integration platforms such as Jenkins, CircleCI, Bamboo, and Azure DevOps; intermediate and experienced DevOps engineers (developers, ops engineers, test engineers); and ICT managers interested in the CI/CD pipeline development domain.
