This book is for curious people who are eager to learn some of the most fundamental topics of computer and software engineering. The topics presented in this books, although very interesting in author's opinion, are some of the most underrated and least discussed fields of computer programming. This book is about the old technology, the technology we are using everyday, but we refuse to learn and extend as an average engineer. The literature around each of those topics is so large that, only specialists will ever be motivated to learn them. The Super Programmer is for the programmers who don’t want to limit their knowledge and skills on a very narrow area of software engineering. The Super Programmer is for programmers who can’t sleep at night when they don’t exactly understand how something in their computer works. The Super Programmer is all about ideas, and how they have evolved through time, leading to the impressive technology we have today. I wanted this book to have least dependency to technologies, so that the codes do not get obsolete over time. I first thought of writing the codes in some pseudo-coding language, but I personally believe that pseudo-codes are not coherent enough, so I decided to choose and stick with a popular language like Python, which as of today, is a programming language that is known by many other engineers and scientists.

Transformers are the superpower behind large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, Bard, and LLAMA. Transformers in Action gives you the insights, practical techniques, and extensive code samples you need to adapt pretrained transformer models to new and exciting tasks. Technically speaking, a “Transformer” is a neural network model that finds relationships in sequences of words or other data by using a mathematical technique called attention in its encoder/decoder components. This setup allows a transformer model to learn context and meaning from even long sequences of text, thus creating much more natural responses and predictions. Understanding the transformers architecture is the key to unlocking the power of LLMs for your own AI applications. This comprehensive guide takes you from the origins of transformers all the way to fine-tuning an LLM for your own projects. Author Nicole Königstein demonstrates the vital mathematical and theoretical background of the transformer architecture practically through executable Jupyter notebooks, illuminating how this amazing technology works in action. Transformers have established themselves as a indispensable tool in the field of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence as the research and deployment of Large Language Models (LLMs) continues to expand. This book will take you on a fascinating journey through the applications of Transformers, which have, in recent years, evolved from their initial use in natural language processing (NLP) to a wide array of domains. These include, but is not limited to, computer vision, speech recognition, reinforcement learning, mathematical operations, and the study of biological systems such as protein folding. The most notable innovations have been the emergence of decision Transformers and multimodal models. These groundbreaking models have the potential to reshape our understanding of Deep Learning and broaden its horizons. Readers should be comfortable with the basics of ML, Python, and common data tools.

Pearson’s Artificial Intelligence encompasses a comprehensive text on the fundamental principles and concepts of Artificial Intelligence—a new-age technology that fuels the much-coveted ‘Industry 4.0’. Presented in lucid English, this book covers all the basic concepts, enriched with latest examples. It also discusses all the major components of AI, such as Neural Networks, Natural Language Processing, Reinforcement Learning, Machine Learning, Deep Learning and Computer Vision. The book is a deliberation of classical as well modern AI techniques and related technologies that provides readers with an overall knowledge and understanding of AI in present-day context. Few languages that are popularly used to code AI applications are R, Python and Java. From a layman’s view, artificial intelligence (AI), simply means the intelligence demonstrated by machines that help them to mimic the actions of humans. AI simulates natural intelligence in machines that are programmed to learn from experiences, adjust to new inputs and perform human-like tasks. From a researcher’s view, AI is a set of algorithms that generates results without having to be explicitly instructed to do so, thereby making machines capable of thinking and acting rationally and humanely. Most AI examples, from chess-playing computers to self-driving cars, heavily depend on Deep Learning and natural language processing (NLP) techniques. Majority of AI systems are supported by breakthroughs in Machine Learning and Deep Learning techniques. These techniques together go hand-in-hand to deliver an efficient system that sometimes it is just difficult to understand the difference between Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning and Deep Learning. Book focusses on practical implementation of key algorithms using Python programming language that help students gain hands-on experience

С 1970-х годов InfoSec-специалисты постепенно совершенствовали безопасность, даже не задумываясь, в правильном ли направлении со стратегической точки зрения они движутся. Рик Ховард утверждает, что нет. Общее направление само по себе было ошибочным, но идейные лидеры в этой области так и не смогли докопаться до корня проблемы. Идя по стопам таких авторитетов, как Декарт и Илон Маск, автор обосновывает главный принцип кибербезопасности и определяет стратегии и тактики его реализации.

Scripting and automation tasks often need to extract particular portions of text from input data or modify them from one format to another. This book will help you learn Ruby Regular Expressions, a mini-programming language for all sorts of text processing needs. The book heavily leans on examples to present features of regular expressions one by one. It is recommended that you manually type each example and experiment with them. Make an effort to understand the sample input as well as the solution presented and check if the output changes (or not!) when you alter some part of the input and the command. As an analogy, consider learning to drive a car — no matter how much you read about them or listen to explanations, you'd need practical experience to become proficient. Exercises are included to test your understanding. Reference solutions are also provided. You should be familiar with programming basics. You should also have a working knowledge of Ruby syntax and features like string formats, string and Enumerable methods.
