As renowned Mac security expert Patrick Wardle notes in The Art of Mac Malware, Volume 2, the substantial and growing number of Mac users, both personal and enterprise, has created a compelling incentive for malware authors to ever more frequently target macOS systems. The only effective way to counter these constantly evolving and increasingly sophisticated threats is through learning and applying robust heuristic-based detection techniques. To that end, Wardle draws upon decades of experience to guide you through the programmatic implementation of such detection techniques. By exploring how to leverage macOS’s security-centric frameworks (both public and private), diving into key elements of behavioral-based detection, and highlighting relevant examples of real-life malware, Wardle teaches and underscores the efficacy of these powerful approaches.

Recent breakthroughs in AI have not only increased demand for AI products, they've also lowered the barriers to entry for those who want to build AI products. The model-as-a-service approach has transformed AI from an esoteric discipline into a powerful development tool that anyone can use. Everyone, including those with minimal or no prior AI experience, can now leverage AI models to build applications. In this book, author Chip Huyen discusses AI engineering: the process of building applications with readily available foundation models. The book starts with an overview of AI engineering, explaining how it differs from traditional ML engineering and discussing the new AI stack. This book discusses different approaches to evaluating open-ended models, including the rapidly growing AI-as-a-judge approach. AI application developers will discover how to navigate the AI landscape, including models, datasets, evaluation benchmarks, and the seemingly infinite number of use cases and application patterns. You'll learn a framework for developing an AI application, starting with simple techniques and progressing toward more sophisticated methods, and discover how to efficiently deploy these applications.

Data Structures: Abstraction and Design Using Java offers a coherent and well-balanced presentation of data structure implementation and data structure applications with a strong emphasis on problem solving and software design. Step-by-step, the authors introduce each new data structure as an abstract data type (ADT), explain its underlying theory and computational complexity, provide its specification in the form of a Java interface, and demonstrate its implementation as one or more Java classes. Case studies using the data structures covered in the chapter show complete and detailed solutions to real-world problems, while a variety of software design tools are discussed to help students “Think, then code.” The book supplements its rigorous coverage of basic data structures and algorithms with chapters on sets and maps, balanced binary search trees, graphs, event-oriented programming, testing and debugging, and other key topics. The fourth edition of Data Structures: Abstraction and Design Using Java enables students to measure their progress after completing each section through interactive questions, quick-check questions, and review questions.

Journey through the world of stochastic finance from learning theory, underlying models, and derivations of financial models (stocks, options, portfolios) to the almost production-ready Python components under cover of stochastic finance. This book will show you the techniques to estimate potential financial outcomes using stochastic processes implemented with Python. The book starts by reviewing financial concepts, such as analyzing different asset types like stocks, options, and portfolios. It then delves into the crux of stochastic finance, providing a glimpse into the probabilistic nature of financial markets. You'll look closely at probability theory, random variables, Monte Carlo simulation, and stochastic processes to cover the prerequisites from the applied perspective. Then explore random walks and Brownian motion, essential in understanding financial market dynamics. You'll get a glimpse of two vital modelling tools used throughout the book - stochastic calculus and stochastic differential equations (SDE). Advanced topics like modeling jump processes and estimating their parameters by Fourier-transform-based density recovery methods can be intriguing to those interested in full-numerical solutions of probability models. For data scientists, quantitative researchers and practitioners, software engineers and AI architects interested in quantitative finance.

As an efficient 3D vision solution, point clouds have been widely applied into diverse engineering scenarios, including immersive media communication, autonomous driving, reverse engineering, robots, topography mapping, digital twin city, medical analysis, digital museum, etc. Thanks to the great developments of Deep Learning theories and methods, 3D point cloud technologies have undergone fast growth during the past few years, including diverse processing and understanding tasks. Human and machine perception can be benefited from the success of using Deep Learning approaches, which can significantly improve 3D perception modeling and optimization, as well as 3D pre-trained and large models. This book delves into these research frontiers of Deep Learning-based point cloud technologies. The subject of this book focuses on diverse intelligent processing technologies for the fast-growing 3D point cloud applications, especially using Deep Learning-based approaches. The Deep Learning-based enhancement and analysis methods are elaborated in detail, as well as the pre-trained and large models with 3D point clouds.

This book is about doing microeconometrics, defined by Cameron and Trivedi as "the analysis of individual-level data on the economic behavior of individuals or firms using regression methods applied to cross-section and panel data" with R. Microeconometrics became increasingly popular in the last decades, thanks to the availability of many individual data sets and to the development of computer performance. R appeared in the late nineties as a clone of S. It became increasingly popular among statisticians, especially in fields where S was widely used. Twenty years ago, using R for doing econometrics analysis required a lot of programming because a lot of core methods of econometrics were not available in R. Nowadays, most of the basic methods described in the book are available in contributed packages. Moreover, the set of packages called the Tidyverse developed by RStudio (now Posit) for all the basic tasks of an applied statistician (importing, tidying, transforming and visualizing data sets) makes the use of R faster and easier.
