Automated Deep Learning
Deep learning (DL) has proven to be a highly effective approach for developing models in diverse contexts, including visual perception, speech recognition, and machine translation. Automated deep learning (AutoDL) endeavors to minimize the need for human involvement and is best known for its achievements in neural architecture search (NAS). In this monograph, the authors examine research efforts into automation across the entirety of an archetypal DL workflow. In so doing, they propose a comprehensive set of ten criteria by which to assess existing work in both individual publications and broader research areas, namely novelty, solution quality, efficiency, stability, interpretability, reproducibility, engineering quality, scalability, generalizability, and eco-friendliness. Aimed at students and researchers, this monograph provides an evaluative overview of AutoDL in the early 2020s, identifying where future opportunities for progress may exist.
AutonoML
Over the last decade, the long-running endeavour to automate high-level processes in machine learning (ML) has risen to mainstream prominence. Beyond this, an even loftier goal is the pursuit of autonomy, which describes the capability of the system to independently adjust an ML solution over a lifetime of changing contexts. This monograph provides an expansive perspective on what constitutes an automated/autonomous ML system. In doing so, the authors survey developments in hyperparameter optimisation, multicomponent models, neural architecture search, automated feature engineering, meta-learning, multi-level ensembling, dynamic adaptation, multi-objective evaluation, resource constraints, flexible user involvement, and the principles of generalisation. Furthermore, they develop a conceptual framework throughout to illustrate one possible way of fusing high-level mechanisms into an autonomous ML system. This monograph lays the groundwork for students and researchers to understand the factors limiting architectural integration, without which the field of automated ML risks stifling both its technical advantages and general uptake.

Causal Fairness Analysis
The recent surge of interest in AI systems has raised concerns in moral quarters about their ethical use and whether they can demonstrate fair decision taking processes. Issues of unfairness and discrimination are pervasive when decisions are being made by humans, and are potentially amplified when decisions are made using machines with little transparency, accountability, and fairness. In this monograph, the authors introduce a framework for causal fairness analysis to understand, model, and possibly solve issues of fairness in AI decision-making settings. The authors link the quantification of the disparities present in the observed data with the underlying, often unobserved, collection of causal mechanisms that generate the disparity in the first place, a challenge they call the Fundamental Problem of Causal Fairness Analysis (FPCFA). In order to solve the FPCFA, they study the mapping variations and empirical measures of fairness to structural mechanisms and different units of the population, culminating in the Fairness Map.This monograph presents the first systematic attempt to organize and explain the relationship between various criteria in fairness and studies which causal assumptions are needed for performing causal fairness analysis. The resulting Fairness Cookbook allows anyone to assess the existence of disparate impact and disparate treatment. It is a timely and important introduction to developing future AI systems incorporating inherent fairness and as such will be of wide interest not only to AI system designers, but all who are interested in the wider impact AI will have on society.
A Friendly Tutorial on Mean-Field Spin Glass Techniques for Non-Physicists
Spin glass models were introduced by physicists in the 1970s to model the statistical properties of certain magnetic materials. Over the last half century, these models have motivated a blossoming line of mathematical work with applications to multiple fields, at first sight distant from physics. This tutorial is deliberately written in a somewhat non-standard style, from several viewpoints. Rather than developing the theory in the most general setting, the authors focus on two concrete problems that are motivated by questions in statistical estimation. Their treatment is far from exhaustive, but they do not hesitate to pursue detours that are interesting, but indirectly related to the original questions posed by the examples. The authors also present a mixture of non-rigorous and rigorous techniques. The authors clearly indicate when something is proven and explain non-rigorous techniques on examples for which rigorous alternatives are available. Written by two recognized experts and based on a course given at Stanford University, this tutorial is a unique introduction to a topic that has many avenues for furthering research in statistics, mathematics, and computer science. It provides an accessible tutorial to understand and use the theories being deployed in physics for over 50 years.

Edison vs. Tesla_ Electrical Battles
The epic rivalry between Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla, two of history's most brilliant minds in the realm of electrical engineering and innovation, is a captivating and enduring story of contrasting visions and relentless determination. "Edison vs. Tesla: Electrical Battles" is a compelling exploration of the fierce competition and ideological clash that shaped the course of electrical history.Thomas Edison, often referred to as "The Wizard of Menlo Park," was a prolific American inventor and businessman known for his numerous patents and contributions to the development of the modern electrical industry. He championed direct current (DC) as the standard for electricity distribution, establishing power plants and electrical systems that illuminated cities and homes.Nikola Tesla, a Serbian-American inventor and visionary, was the proponent of alternating current (AC), a more efficient and versatile electrical system. His innovative work in AC technology laid the foundation for long-distance power transmission and the modern electrical grid. Tesla's inventions, including the alternating current motor and the Tesla coil, transformed the world of electricity.The battle between Edison and Tesla revolved around the "War of the Currents." Edison staunchly advocated for DC, while Tesla championed AC. The rivalry escalated into a high-stakes competition, marked by propaganda, public demonstrations, and a battle for patents. The infamous "electrocuting" of animals to discredit AC, led by Edison, was one of the darker episodes in this war.Ultimately, Tesla's vision prevailed, and AC became the standard for electricity distribution. His work with George Westinghouse led to the successful electrification of the United States and the establishment of AC power as the basis for the modern electrical grid. This victory revolutionized the way electricity was generated, transmitted, and used.The impact of the Edison vs. Tesla battles extended far beyond the rivalry itself. It shaped the development of the electrical industry, influenced public perception of electricity, and had a profound effect on the trajectory of technological progress. Their contributions continue to influence our daily lives, from the power systems that light our homes to the technologies that power the digital age.This historical narrative is not just a chronicle of rivalry but a testament to the power of innovative thinking and the pursuit of groundbreaking ideas. Edison and Tesla, with their different philosophies and approaches, left an enduring legacy in the world of electrical engineering and technology, emphasizing the significance of diversity and competition in driving progress."Edison vs. Tesla: Electrical Battles" is an engaging exploration of this remarkable clash of minds, shedding light on the enduring impact of their inventions and the enduring lessons in the history of science and innovation. It remains a captivating tale of intellectual prowess and the unyielding quest for technological advancement.
