Deep Learning in Textual Low-Data Regimes for Cybersecurity
In today's fast-paced cybersecurity landscape, professionals are increasingly challenged by the vast volumes of cyber threat data, making it difficult to identify and mitigate threats effectively. Traditional clustering methods help in broadly categorizing threats but fall short when it comes to the fine-grained analysis necessary for precise threat management. Supervised machine learning offers a potential solution, but the rapidly changing nature of cyber threats renders static models ineffective and the creation of new models too labor-intensive. This book addresses these challenges by introducing innovative low-data regime methods that enhance the machine learning process with minimal labeled data. The proposed approach spans four key stages: Data Acquisition: Leveraging active learning with advanced models like GPT-4 to optimize data labeling.Preprocessing: Utilizing GPT-2 and GPT-3 for data augmentation to enrich and diversify datasets.Model Selection: Developing a specialized cybersecurity language model and using multi-level transfer learning.Prediction: Introducing a novel adversarial example generation method, grounded in explainable AI, to improve model accuracy and resilience.

Catastrophic Collapses
When structures fall, it is never just the steel and concrete that give way.Catastrophic Collapses: From Vision to Vulnerability is a gripping account of fifty disasters that scarred the modern world. From bridges that plunged into rivers and dams that burst, to towers that crumbled and industrial plants that failed, each story reveals how ambition, oversight, and flawed judgment unraveled the very systems meant to endure.This book traces not only the technical aspects of collapse but also the human and moral dimensions. Some failures arose from design flaws and ignored warnings, while others stemmed from misplaced confidence, ethical lapses, or responsibilities accepted too late.Covering events from the early twentieth century to the present day, this timeline of disasters highlights the lessons engineers, architects, students, and policymakers must carry forward. By understanding why things failed, we are reminded of what it takes to build responsibly in a world where the margin for error is slim.For readers fascinated by engineering, history, and the human side of failure, Catastrophic Collapses offers both a cautionary record and a compelling narrative. Because every collapse leaves a blueprint behind.This book is for engineers, architects, constructors, policymakers, and for all those curious about how great structures fall and what we must learn before history repeats itself.
