Learn to build cost-effective apps using Large Language Models. In Large Language Model-Based Solutions: How to Deliver Value with Cost-Effective Generative AI Applications, Principal Data Scientist at Amazon Web Services, Shreyas Subramanian, delivers a practical guide for developers and data scientists who wish to build and deploy cost-effective large language model (LLM)-based solutions. In the book, you'll find coverage of a wide range of key topics, including how to select a model, pre- and post-processing of data, prompt engineering, and instruction fine tuning. Large language models (LLMs) have become a cornerstone of Artificial Intelligence (AI) research and applications, transforming the way we interact with technology and enabling breakthroughs in natural language processing (NLP). The author sheds light on techniques for optimizing inference, like model quantization and pruning, as well as different and affordable architectures for typical generative AI (GenAI) applications, including search systems, agent assists, and autonomous agents. Perfect for developers and data scientists interested in deploying foundational models, or business leaders planning to scale out their use of GenAI, Large Language Model-Based Solutions will also benefit project leaders and managers, technical support staff, and administrators with an interest or stake in the subject.

Gesture Recognition: Theory and Applications covers this important topic in Computer Science and language technology that has a goal of interpreting human gestures via mathematical algorithms. The book begins by examining the computer vision-based gesture recognition method, focusing on the theory and related research results of various recent gesture recognition technologies. The book takes the evolutions of gesture recognition technology as a clue, systematically introducing gesture recognition methods based on handcrafted features, convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks, multimodal data fusion, and visual attention mechanisms. Three gesture recognition-based HCI (Human Computer Interaction) practical cases are introduced. Finally, the book looks at emerging research trends and application. Focuses on the theory and application of gesture recognition, providing a systematic introduction to commonly used datasets in the field as well as algorithms based on handcrafted features, convolutional neural networks, multimodal fusion, and attention mechanisms. Introduces the practical applications of gesture recognition in real-world scenarios, enabling readers to enhance their practical application skills while learning about relevant technologies. Demonstrates four main categories of gesture recognition methods and analyzes their associated challenges.

Get up to speed on state-of-the-art malware with this first-ever guide to analyzing malicious Windows software designed to actively avoid detection and forensic tools. We’re all aware of Stuxnet, ShadowHammer, Sunburst, and similar attacks that use evasion to remain hidden while defending themselves from detection and analysis. Because advanced threats like these can adapt and, in some cases, self-destruct to evade detection, even the most seasoned investigators can use a little help with analysis now and then. Evasive Malware will introduce you to the evasion techniques used by today’s malicious software and show you how to defeat them. Following a crash course on using static and dynamic code analysis to uncover malware’s true intentions, you’ll learn how malware weaponizes context awareness to detect and skirt virtual machines and sandboxes, plus the various tricks it uses to thwart analysis tools. You’ll explore the world of anti-reversing, from anti-disassembly methods and debugging interference to covert code execution and misdirection tactics. You’ll also delve into defense evasion, from process injection and rootkits to fileless malware. Finally, you’ll dissect encoding, encryption, and the complexities of malware obfuscators and packers to uncover the evil within.

Methods of delivering software are constantly evolving in order to increase speed to market without sacrificing reliability and stability. Mastering development end to end, from version control to production, and building production-ready code is now more important than ever. Continuous deployment takes it one step further. This method for delivering software automates the final step to production and enables faster feedback and safer releases. Based on years of work with medium to large organizations at Thoughtworks, author Valentina Servile explains how to perform safe and reliable deployments with no manual gate to production. You'll learn a framework to perform incremental, safe releases during everyday development work, structured exclusively around the challenges of continuous deployment in nontrivial, distributed systems. Complete with interviews and case studies from fellow industry professionals. In the past couple of decades, we have seen a number of practices showcasing how speed and reliability actually go hand in hand when it comes to delivering software. DevOps, eXtreme Programming (XP), continuous integration (CI), and continuous delivery (CD): these practices have demonstrated again and again how shorter iterations improve the stability of production systems, rather than hindering it. This is because shorter iterations reduce the size of changes in each release, foster communication across roles, encourage a culture of automation, and allow for early and continuous feedback. Overall, shorter iterations and frequent deployments improve software’s stability and quality. I wrote this book for fellow software industry professionals, and especially for software engineers who see value in improving their code’s path to production.
