Text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) technique that renders a preferably naturally sounding speech given an arbitrary text. It is a key technological component in many important applications, including virtual assistants, AI-generated audiobooks, speech-to-speech translation, AI news reporters, audible driving guidance, and digital humans. In the past decade, we have observed significant progress made in TTS. These new developments are mainly attributed to Deep Learning techniques and are usually referred to as neural TTS. Many neural TTS systems have achieved human quality for the tasks they are designed for. This book first introduces the history of TTS technologies and overviews neural TTS, and provides preliminary knowledge on language and speech processing, neural networks and Deep Learning, and deep generative models.

Machine Learning (ML) models, especially large pretrained Deep Learning (DL) models, are of high economic value and must be properly protected with regard to intellectual property rights (IPR). Model watermarking methods are proposed to embed watermarks into the target model, so that, in the event it is stolen, the model’s owner can extract the pre-defined watermarks to assert ownership. Model watermarking methods adopt frequently used techniques like backdoor training, multi-task learning, decision boundary analysis etc. to generate secret conditions that constitute model watermarks or fingerprints only known to model owners. These methods have little or no effect on model performance, which makes them applicable to a wide variety of contexts. In terms of robustness, embedded watermarks must be robustly detectable against varying adversarial attacks that attempt to remove the watermarks. The efficacy of model watermarking methods is showcased in diverse applications including image classification, image generation, image captions, Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Reinforcement Learning.

Many hackers swear by LISP, and just like any other programmer coming from OOPS background I was skeptical about functional programming. When I started
learning it, it wasn't straight forward (for an OOP developer), but I persisted and when I reached what's called REPL driven development I was blown away.
Clojure is a dialect of LISP, and it was smartly designed to be hosted and not compiled, which means that when you learn it, you can target multiple platforms like Java runtime, Common Language Runtime, jаvascript and Dart platforms, hence your job potential will be huge. Clojure and all LISP based languages, surprisingly has only one syntax, which makes it simple and unimaginably powerful, and hence makes it easier to learn compared to other languages, and hence I feel it could be great first programming language for many who had never coded before.

Durable Functions is an Azure Functions extension that implements triggers and bindings that abstract and manage state persistence. Using Durable Functions, you can easily create stateful objects entirely managed by the extension. Azure Durable Functions Succinctly author Massimo Bonanni will take readers from a recap of Azure Functions through Durable entities so that you can determine if this technology is right for your needs. Azure Functions is one of the most important serverless technologies proposed by Azure. Even though this book is not directly about standard Azure functions, it is fundamental to recap what an Azure function is. As we will see in the following chapters, Durable Functions is based on Azure Functions, so all the basic behavior is the same. An Azure function is literally a snippet of code that executes on a runtime called Azure Functions Runtime and can be written in several programming languages (C#, jаvascript, TypeScript, F#, Java, Python, PowerShell).

This book presents a solution to the challenging issue of optimizing expensive-to-evaluate industrial problems such as the hyperparameter tuning of Machine Learning models. The approach combines two well-established concepts, Surrogate-Based Optimization (SBO) and parallelization, to efficiently search for optimal parameter setups with as few function evaluations as possible. Through in-depth analysis, the need for parallel SBO solvers is emphasized, and it is demonstrated that they outperform model-free algorithms in scenarios with a low evaluation budget. The SBO approach helps practitioners save significant amounts of time and resources in hyperparameter tuning as well as other optimization projects. As a highlight, a novel framework for objectively comparing the efficiency of parallel SBO algorithms is introduced, enabling practitioners to evaluate and select the most effective approach for their specific use case.
