Digital DownfallTechnology, Cyberattacks and the End of the American Republic
Is America on the brink of civil war?Could foreign cyber plots turn Americans against one another and cause a disastrous domestic conflict? What would happen if the lights went out and the technology we rely upon to run American life is no longer available?The present dangers are real. The US is more vulnerable to destructive foreign interference today than it has been in over a century. As Russia and China realize they can't win shooting wars against the US, they have devised new and cunning ways to destabilize American politics and cripple the US economy.Cyber meddling in elections, disinformation campaigns, abuse of social media to widen racial and political divides, and the theft of military data are just some of the malicious acts threatening the Republic. Digital Downfall examines the potential effects of such attacks, with a look at: -The vulnerability of the US to cyber attack-American technological weaknesses that could be exploited by our enemies-How the US military could be affected by cyberwar-The possibility that the American Republic we know could be destroyed-America's relationship with racism-What the future may hold-And more...The dangers posed by external sources can only be real when the internal politics of the United States is in a fragile state. The past four years bear testimony to this political decline as does every passing day of the Trump presidency.The perfect storm of external interference, a rampant and deadly pandemic, and a culture of racism that will no longer be tolerated is upon us.Who knows where it will lead to, or what will be left at the end...About the Author: Hugh Taylor is Executive Editor of The Journal of Cyber Policy, a cybersecurity industry blog. He has been working in the enterprise technology and cybersecurity fields for over 20 years, earning the Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) credential in the process.

Denn nur, wenn wir Menschen verstehen, wie KI-Systeme zu Entscheidungen gelangen, haben wir die M繹glichkeit, sie mehrwertbringend in industriellen Prozessen anzuwenden und positiv in das t瓣gliche Leben unserer Gesellschaft zu integrieren. Zielvorgabe der vorliegenden Arbeit ist die Darstellung und Analyse zweier Methoden, namentlich der Sensitivity Analysis (SA) und der Layerwise Relevance Propagation (LRP), deren eigene Zielsetzung es ist, die Entscheidungen intelligenter Systeme f羹r den menschlichen Betrachter nachvollziehbar zu machen. Bevor jedoch auf die einzelnen Methoden, deren Funktionsweise und auf eine kritischen Betrachtung eingegangen werden kann, bedarf es einer Abgrenzung des Forschungsgebiets der XAI.

100 Things Every Designer Needs to Know about People
Apply psychology and behavioral science to web, UX, and graphic design Behavioral science leader and CEO at The Team W, Inc., Susan M. Weinschenk, provides a guide that every designer needs, combining real science and research with practical examples on everything from font size to online interactions. With this book you'll design more intuitive and engaging apps, software, websites and products that match the way people think, decide and behave. Here are some of the questions this book will answer: What grabs and holds attention? What makes memories stick? What motivates people? How does listening to music make people feel? How do you engineer a decision? What line length for text is best? Are some fonts better than others? We design to elicit responses from people. We want them to buy something, read more, or take action of some kind. Designing without understanding what makes people act the way they do is like exploring a new city without a map: results will be haphazard, confusing, and inefficient. Increase the effectiveness of your designs by using science-backed examples on human behavior. "Every once in a while, a book comes along that is so well-written, researched, and designed that I just can't put it down. That's how good 100 Things Every Designer Needs to Know About People is!" --Lynne Cooke, Clinical Assistant Professor at Arizona State University

Prediction of Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR) Outcomes with use of Machine Learning. Feed-Forw
Master's Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Computer Sciences - Artificial Intelligence, grade: 88.2, Institute of Technology Carlow, language: English, abstract: Adverse Drug Reactions contribute to $ 7.2 billion in medical expenses annually in the United States alone. Apart from economic impact, the adverse drug reactions are one of the main causes of deaths in developed countries. An ability to predict adverse drug reaction outcomes or identify patients that are likely to experience adverse drug reactions after ingesting medicinal drug product can reduce the fatality rates and financial burden associated with medical treatments of patients experiencing adverse drug reactions. To date, two studies attempted to predict adverse drug reactions with use of machine learning algorithms and Food and Drug Administration database. However, one of them did not provide sufficient accuracy scores and the other was a small-scale proof of concept study. This research has built on top of these two studies and aimed to improve predictive results and provide more specific adverse drug reaction predictive labels. Two deep, fully connected Neural Networks have been created to predict adverse drug reaction outcomes. Model 7 and the Binary Model. The model 7 was a multi-label classification algorithm that was trained to classify patients that were hospitalised, died or have been hospitalised then died. The binary model was trained to segregate the adverse drug reaction outcomes to 2 classes - hospitalisation and death. The multiclass Model-7 achieved similar performance (74 % accuracy) to standard machine learning (binary) models generated in previous studies. However, it did not achieve better performance than binary proof of concept Artificial Neural Network model built by other researchers. The binary Artificial Neural Network model created in this study, significantly outperformed other binary standard machine learning models designed in past by achieving 83 % of accuracy
