Automate and accelerate everyday IT tasks using generative AI! Read this book, and you may never write another “after incident” report from scratch again! Generative AI for the IT Pro reveals how you can automate dozens of your daily IT tasks with generative AI—including writing email and reports, setting up a chatbot to field helpdesk requests, evaluating disaster recovery plans, and more. Requirements for this book are simple and even free. While premium AI subscriptions offer more features, starting off with free services like ChatGPT, Google Bard, or Microsoft Copilot will also work. Our primary tool throughout the book is ChatGPT Plus, which we find exceptionally capable and worth the $20/month subscription. Many books deal with the theory, whereas this book deals with practical, hands-on examples that you can immediately apply. In Part I, we lay the groundwork with essential definitions, concepts, and prompts. You’ll get hands-on practice with AI prompt techniques to aid in all AI interactions. In Part II, we’ve packed in relatable examples and strategies, focusing on leveraging AI for tasks like document drafting, communication, and career advancement. As the book progresses to Part III, we cover practical applications in various IT roles: including helpdesk and IT support, database administration, cloud engineering, and everything in between. And for those in management, Part IV offers tailored insights to streamline and enrich your work processes with people and products.

Learning a computer language like R can be either frustrating, fun or boring. Having fun requires challenges that wake up the learner’s curiosity but also provide an emotional reward for overcoming them. The book is designed so that it includes smaller and bigger challenges, in what I call playgrounds, in the hope that all readers will enjoy their path to R fluency. Fluency in the use of a language is a skill that is acquired through practice and exploration. For students and professionals in the biological sciences, humanities and many applied fields, recognizing the parallels between R and natural languages should help them feel at home with R. The approach I use is similar to that of a travel guide, encouraging exploration and describing the available alternatives and how to reach them. The intention is to guide the reader through the R landscape of 2024 and beyond. In R, like in most “rich” languages, there are multiple ways of coding the same operations. I have included code examples that aim to strike a balance between execution speed and readability. One could write equivalent R books using substantially different code examples. Keep this in mind when reading the book and using R. Keep also in mind that it is impossible to remember everything about R, and as a user you will frequently need to consult the documentation, even while doing the exercises in this book. The R language, in a broad sense, is vast because it can be expanded with independently developed packages. Learning to use R mainly consists of learning the basics plus developing the skill of finding your way in R, its documentation and on-line question-and-answer forums.

This thesis presents research that expands the collective knowledge in the areas of accountability and transparency of Machine Learning (ML) models developed for complex reasoning tasks over text. In particular, the presented results facilitate the analysis of the reasons behind the outputs of ML models and assist in detecting and correcting for potential harms. It presents two new methods for accountable ML models; advances the state of the art with methods generating textual explanations that are further improved to be fluent, easy to read, and to contain logically connected multi-chain arguments; and makes substantial contributions in the area of diagnostics for explainability approaches. All results are empirically tested on complex reasoning tasks over text, including fact checking, question answering, and natural language inference. A major concern with Machine Learning (ML) models is their opacity. They are deployed in an increasing number of applications where they often operate as black boxes that do not provide explanations for their predictions. Among others, the potential harms associated with a lack of understanding of the models’ rationales include privacy violations, adversarial manipulations, and unfair discrimination. In Computer Science, the decision-making process of ML models has been studied by developing accountability and transparency methods. Accountability methods, such as adversarial attacks and diagnostic datasets, expose vulnerabilities in ML models that could lead to malicious manipulations or systematic faults in their predictions.

In real-world applications, new data, patterns, and categories that were not covered by the training data can frequently emerge, necessitating the capability to detect and adapt to novel characters incrementally. Researchers refer to these challenges as the Open-Set Text Recognition (OSTR) task, which has, in recent years, emerged as one of the prominent issues in the field of text recognition. This book begins by providing an introduction to the background of the OSTR task, covering essential aspects such as open-set identification and recognition, conventional OCR methods, and their applications. Subsequently, the concept and definition of the OSTR task are presented encompassing its objectives, use cases, performance metrics, datasets, and protocols. A general framework for OSTR is then detailed, composed of four key components: The Aligned Represented Space, the Label-to-Representation Mapping, the Sample-to-Representation Mapping, and the Open-set Predictor. In addition, possible implementations of each module within the framework are discussed. Following this, two specific open-set text recognition methods, OSOCR and OpenCCD, are introduced. This book presents a comprehensive overview of the open-set text recognition task, including concepts, framework, and algorithms. It is suitable for graduated students and young researchers who are majoring in pattern recognition and Computer Science, especially interdisciplinary research.

Use LLMs to build better business software applications. Autonomously communicate with users and optimize business tasks with applications built to make the interaction between humans and computers smooth and natural. Artificial Intelligence expert Francesco Esposito illustrates several scenarios for which a LLM is effective: crafting sophisticated business solutions, shortening the gap between humans and software-equipped machines, and building powerful reasoning engines. Insight into prompting and conversational programming—with specific techniques for patterns and frameworks—unlock how natural language can also lead to a new, advanced approach to coding. Concrete end-to-end demonstrations (featuring Python and ASP.NET Core) showcase versatile patterns of interaction between existing processes, APIs, data, and human input. For software architects, lead developers, and individuals with a background in programming—particularly those familiar with languages like Python and possibly C# (for ASP.NET Core)—will find the content in this book accessible and valuable. In the vast realm of software professionals who might find the book useful, I’d call out those who have an interest in ML, especially in the context of LLMs.
