Demystifying Deep Learning
DEMYSTIFYING DEEP LEARNING Discover how to train Deep Learning models by learning how to build real Deep Learning software libraries and verification software! The study of Deep Learning and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) is a significant subfield of artificial intelligence (AI) that can be found within numerous fields: medicine, law, financial services, and science, for example. Just as the robot revolution threatened blue-collar jobs in the 1970s, so now the AI revolution promises a new era of productivity for white collar jobs. Important tasks have begun being taken over by ANNs, from disease detection and prevention, to reading and supporting legal contracts, to understanding experimental data, model protein folding, and hurricane modeling. AI is everywhere--on the news, in think tanks, and occupies government policy makers all over the world --and ANNs often provide the backbone for AI. Relying on an informal and succinct approach, Demystifying Deep Learning is a useful tool to learn the necessary steps to implement ANN algorithms by using both a software library applying neural network training and verification software. The volume offers explanations of how real ANNs work, and includes 6 practical examples that demonstrate in real code how to build ANNs and the datasets they need in their implementation, available in open-source to ensure practical usage. This approachable book follows ANN techniques that are used every day as they adapt to natural language processing, image recognition, problem solving, and generative applications. This volume is an important introduction to the field, equipping the reader for more advanced study.

Jacking Out
At the end of 2019, Aron Lee decided to live 2020 without access to the internet. He would interact with the world in what we have already come to think of as the "old-fashioned" way --- taking calls and texting on a flip phone, paying bills by cheque (and receiving them by snail mail), and writing actual pen-on-paper letters to friends and family, all the while continuing his doctoral work at McGill University. Along the way he discovered a good deal about the internet, about our modern wired (and wireless) world, and about himself. This is his story."A modest experiment, beautifully chronicled." --- Darin Barney, Grierson Chair in Communication Studies, McGill University"Lee's memoir challenges readers' beliefs about the power of connection (and disconnection), as well as the very nature of what it means to live a life 'online.' " --- Roopika Risam, Director of the Digital Ethnic Futures Consortium, Dartmouth College"Jacking Out is a queer and quirky account of the queer and difficult year that was 2020." --- Wendy Oberlander, Artist, Educator, Lesbian Mom
Espionage Black Book Eight
Industrial espionage involves the theft or unauthorized access of proprietary information, strategies, or technologies belonging to a company, government agency, or non-profit organization. Understanding industrial espionage is, therefore, crucial so that these entities can protect their intellectual property, trade secrets, and confidential information. Dr Henry Prunckun calls on his experience in the field of security as well as his research into the topic to highlight how such activities can have severe consequences for those targeted, including loss of competitive advantage, damage to reputation, financial losses, and in extreme cases, bankruptcy. He points out that industrial espionage can also have national security implications if it involves the theft of information related to defense or critical infrastructure. This technical monograph will help readers understand the methods and motivations behind industrial espionage and how organizations can take steps to safeguard their sensitive information. Additionally, it can help organizations detect and prevent such activities and work with law enforcement agencies to hold perpetrators accountable.

Blockchain Technology for Secure Social Media Computing
Blockchain is a digital ledger of transactions duplicated and distributed across an entire network of computer systems on the blockchain which makes it more difficult to hack or tamper with. The popularity of blockchain has been increasing with the growth of social media and the internet of things (IoT). Social media are interactive digitally mediated technologies that facilitate the creation or sharing and exchange of information, ideas, opinions and interests via virtual communities and social network platforms. However, unmonitored social accounts can be the target of hackers who post fraudulent messages or virus-infected links that spread to contacts and followers, and "employee weakness" is responsible for 20% of cyberattacks in companies. So, it has become essential to secure both personal and professional social media networks, accounts and data. Blockchain Technology for Secure Social Media Computing covers recent advances, trends and future opportunities in the security framework of social media-computing. The contributors focus on how to protect social media platforms, and present methods for making social media computing more reliable and effective to achieve trusted IoT-based social computing with blockchain technology. The book is aimed at an advanced research audience in industry and academia focused on blockchain technology and social media computing working in cybersecurity, security data analytics, computer science, distributed computing, networking, internet of things and related fields of applications. It will be also of interest to application and software developers and project managers using blockchain technology and multiple encryptions.
