Today’s “machine-learning” systems, trained by data, are so effective that we’ve invited them to see and hear for us?and to make decisions on our behalf. But alarm bells are ringing. Recent years have seen an eruption of concern as the field of machine learning advances. When the systems we attempt to teach will not, in the end, do what we want or what we expect, ethical and potentially existential risks emerge. Researchers call this the alignment problem.

This book covers several topics related to domain-specific language (DSL) engineering in general and how they can be handled by means of the JetBrains Meta Programming System (MPS), an open source language workbench developed by JetBrains over the last 15 years. The book begins with an overview of the domain of language workbenches, which provides perspectives and motivations underpinning the creation of MPS. Moreover, technical details of the language underneath MPS together with the definition of the tool’s main features are discussed.The remaining ten chapters are then organized in three parts, each dedicated to a specific aspect of the topic.

This book begins by explaining the dynamics of the healthcare market, including the role of stakeholders such as healthcare professionals, patients, and payers. Then it moves into the case studies. The case studies start with EHR data and how you can account for sub-populations using a multi-task setup when you are working on any downstream task. You also will try to predict ICD-9 codes using the same data. You will study transformer models. And you will be exposed to the challenges of applying modern ML techniques to highly sensitive data in healthcare using federated learning. You will look at semi-supervised approaches that are used in a low training data setting, a case very often observed in specialized domains such as healthcare.

As mentioned in the preface, there are three major players in the cloud provider space at the time of writing: Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Microsoft Azure. According to a report from Gartner, AWS has the largest market share. This is mostly due to its first mover advantage and its ability to lock in customers once they start building infrastructure/services within the AWS platform. AWS is followed by Azure, and then GCP in overall market share. Although there are many cloud computing companies out there, this book mostly focuses on the big three, with a slight emphasis on AWS since it holds far more market share than Azure and GCP combined.
