The book begins with a survey of the fundamentals of Federated Learning (FI) and its significance in the era of privacy concerns and data decentralization. Through clear explanations and illustrative examples, the book presents various Federated Learning frameworks, architectures, and communication protocols. Privacy-preserving mechanisms are also explored, like differential privacy and secure aggregation, offering the practical knowledge needed to address privacy challenges in Federated Learning systems. This book concludes by highlighting the challenges and emerging trends in Federated Learning, emphasizing the importance of trust, fairness, and accountability, and provides insights into scalability and efficiency considerations. Federated Learning has revolutionized the area of Machine Learning as Federated Learning offers decentralized privacy-preserving techniques for group model training without transferring the raw data. Federated Learning allows the use of multiple devices, and organizations prefer it as a client as it allows the use of local data to train a global model. This is compared to traditional centralized Machine Learning which collects data in one location. This decentralized method preserves the fundamental principle of data protection while enabling the development of innovative applications by tackling the important problem of data security and privacy.

Название: Java Cookbook: Problems and Solutions for Java Developers, 5th Edition (Early Release) Автор: Ian F. Darwin Издательство: O’Reilly Media, Inc. Год: 2024-07-17 Страниц: 376 Язык: английский Формат: pdf, epub Размер: 10.1 MB
As Java continues to evolve, this cookbook continues to grow in tandem with hundreds of hands-on recipes across a broad range of Java topics. Author Ian Darwin gets developers up to speed right away with useful techniques for everything from string handling and functional programming to network communication and AI. Like any of the most-used programming languages, Java has its share of detractors, advocates, issues, quirks,1 and a learning curve. The Java Cookbook aims to help the Java developer get up to speed on some of the most important parts of Java development. I focus on the standard APIs and some third-party APIs, but I don’t hesitate to cover language issues as well. This is the fifth edition of this book, and it has been shaped by many people and by the myriad changes that Java has undergone over its two and a half decades of popularity. Java 21 is the current long-term supported (LTS) version, and Java 22 is the latest current release at the time of preparation of this edition. The current cadence of releases every six months may be great for the Java SE development team at Oracle, and for developers who want access to the latest-and-greatest, and for click-driven, Java-related news sites, but it “may cause some extra work” for Java book authors, since books typically have a longer revision cycle than Java now does! The goal of this revision of the Java Cookbook is to keep the book up to date with all this change. Aslthough I had to remove a significant amount of material, I’ve included numerous new features. Deletions include many of the complete programs at the ends of chapters. Additions are numerous throughout the chapters. In several places, a few recipes have been combined into one in the interest of simplicity and readability (and reducing page count). And of course I’ve updated a lot of other information along the way. I’m going to assume that you know the basics of Java. I won’t tell you how to println a string, nor how to write a class that extends another and/or implements an interface.

Ready to build real-world applications with large language models? With the pace of improvements over the past year, LLMs have become good enough for use in real-world applications. LLMs are also broadly accessible, allowing practitioners besides ML engineers and scientists to build intelligence into their products. In this report, six experts in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning present crucial, yet often neglected, ML lessons and methodologies essential for developing products based on LLMs. Awareness of these concepts can give you a competitive advantage against most others in the field. Our goal is to make this a practical guide to building successful products around LLMs, drawing from our own experiences and pointing to examples from around the industry. We’ve spent the past year getting our hands dirty and gaining valuable lessons, often the hard way. While we don’t claim to speak for the entire industry, here we share some advice and lessons for anyone building products with LLMs. This work is organized into three topic areas: tactical, operational, and strategic. The first chapter dives into the tactical nuts and bolts of working with LLMs. We share best practices and common pitfalls around prompting, setting up retrieval-augmented generation, applying flow engineering, and evaluation and monitoring. Whether you’re a practitioner building with LLMs or a hacker working on weekend projects, this first chapter was written for you.
Название: Learning Systems Thinking: Essential Nonlinear Skills and Practices for Software Professionals Автор: Diana Montalion Издательство: O’Reilly Media, Inc. Год: 2024 Страниц: 307 Язык: английский Формат: epub Размер: 10.1 MB
A decade ago, developers built information-sharing software by writing a lot of custom code in a single code base, then adding layers of caching. Now we build information systems: interdependent software and services, data platforms, and event streams. Many of our software-to-systems initiatives fail, though, and when they do, we double down on traditional linear approaches. But linear thinking cannot resolve systems challenges. We need to shift to systems thinking. This book shows software developers and architects how systems thinking can guide you through the emerging complexity of modern systems. Author Diana Montalion presents a vision of technology architecture that transforms how we learn, communicate, and collaborate with others. Through practical examples and scenarios, you'll learn how to develop critical self-reflection and decision-making skills amid complexity and uncertainty—and lead impactful cultural change within your organization. Systems thinking is a practice that improves your effectiveness and enables you to lead impactful change. Through a series of practices and real-world scenarios, you'll learn to shift your perspective in order to design, develop, and deliver better outcomes.
