Acquire the knowledge needed to work effectively in conversational Artificial Intelligence (AI) and understand the opportunities and threats it can potentially bring. This book will help you navigate from the traditional world of dialogue systems that revolve around hard coded scripts, to the world of large language models, prompt engineering, conversational AI platforms, multi-modality, and ultimately autonomous agents. In this new world, decisions are made by a system that may forever remain a ‘black box’ for most of us. This book aims to eliminate unnecessary noise and describe the fundamental components of conversational AI. Past experiences will prove invaluable in constructing seamless hybrid systems. This book will provide the most recommended solutions, recognizing that it is not always necessary to blindly pursue new tools. Written in unprecedented and turbulent times for conversational interfaces you’ll see that despite previous waves of advancement in conversational technology, now conversational interfaces are gaining unparalleled popularity. For conversation designers, product owners, and product or project managers in conversational AI who wish to learn about new methods and challenges posed by the recent emergence in the public domain of ChatGPT. For data scientists, final year undergraduates and graduates of Computer Science.

This book shows how different types of motion can be disambiguated into their components in a richer way than that currently possible in computer vision. Previous research of motion analysis has generally not yet considered the basic nature of higher orders of motion such as acceleration. Hence, this book introduces an approximation of the acceleration field using established optical flow techniques. Further, acceleration is decomposed into radial and tangential based on geometry and propagated as a general motion descriptor; this book shows the capability for differentiating different types of motion both on synthesized data and real image sequences. Beyond acceleration, the higher orders of motion flow and their continuant parts are investigated for further revealing the chaotic motion fields. Naturally, it is possible to extend this notion further: to detect higher orders of image motion. In this respect, this book shows how jerk and snap can be obtained from image sequences. The derived results on test images and heel strike detection in gait analysis illustrate the ability of higher-order motion, which provide the basis for the following research and applications in the future.

The New State of the Art in Information Security: From Cloud to Crypto, AI-Driven Security to Post-Quantum Computing. Now extensively updated throughout, Security in Computing, Sixth Edition, is today's one-stop, primary text for everyone teaching, learning, and practicing information cybersecurity. It defines core principles associated with modern security policies, processes, and protection; illustrates them with up-to-date sidebars and examples; and shows how to apply them in practice. Modular and flexibly organized, it supports a wide array of courses, strengthens professionals' knowledge of foundational principles; and imparts a more expansive understanding of modern security. Cryptography is a specialized topic that depends on several areas of mathematics and theoretical computer science, including number theory, finite field algebra, computational complexity, and logic. After reading this overview, you would need to develop a significant background to study cryptography in depth. And we caution you strongly against studying a little cryptography and concluding that you can design your own secure cryptosystem. The field of cryptography is littered with failed approaches designed even by experts, so nonexperts are well advised to “leave the driving to the professionals.”

In this stimulating journey of Rust, you'll learn how to use the Rust programming language in conjunction with Machine Learning. It's not a full guide to learning Machine Learning with Rust. Instead, it's more of a journey that shows you what's possible when you use Rust to solve Machine Learning problems. Some people like Rust because it is quick and safe. This book shows how those qualities can help Machine Learning a lot. To begin, we will show you what Rust is and how it works. This is so that everyone, even those who are new to Rust, can follow along. Then, we look at some basic Machine Learning concepts, such as linear and logistic regression, and show how to use Rust's tools and libraries to make these ideas work. You will learn more complex techniques like decision trees, support vector machines, and how to work with data as we go along. It goes all the way up to neural networks and image recognition, and we show you how to use Rust for these types of tasks step by step.

Learn by doing: code a Web server in Node.js. Most people use HTTP daily, but few understand its inner workings. This "Build Your Own X" book dives deep, teaching basics from scratch for a clearer understanding of the tools and tech we rely on. The first step is to make programs talk over a network. This is also called socket programming. But socket programming is more than just gluing APIs together! It’s easy to end up with half-working solutions if you skip the basics. In order to communicate over a network, the data sent over the network must conform to a specific format called a “protocol”. Learn how to create or implement any network protocols by using HTTP as the target. You probably already know something about HTTP, such as URLs, different methods like GET and POST, response codes, various headers, and etc. But have you ever thought that you can create all the details from scratch, by your own code? It’s not very complicated and it’s rewarding. The project uses Node.js without any dependencies, but many concepts are language-agnostic, so it’s valuable for learners of any language. Code samples use TypeScript with type annotations for readability, but the differences from JS are minor.

In this practical guide, you will build intelligent real-world applications using GPT-4, Embeddings, Whisper, Weaviate, and more tools from the OpenAI ecosystem. The knowledge you'll acquire from this guide will be applicable to the current families of GPT models (GPT-3, GPT-3.5, GPT-4, etc.) and will likely also be relevant to GPT-5, should it ever be released. OpenAI provides APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) to access their AI. The goal of an API is to abstract the underlying models by creating a universal interface for all versions, allowing users to use GPT regardless of its version. This guide aims to provide a comprehensive, step-by-step tutorial on how to utilize GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 in your projects via this API. It also covers other models, such as Whisper and Text-to-Speech. If you're developing a chatbot, an AI assistant, or a web application that utilizes AI-generated data, this guide will assist you in achieving your objectives. If you have a basic understanding of the Python programming language and are willing to learn a few additional techniques, such as using Pandas Dataframes and some NLP methods, you possess all the necessary tools to start building intelligent systems with OpenAI tools.

This textbook introduces Python and its programming through a multitude of clearly presented examples and worked-out exercises. Python has become, for good reason, a very popular programming language, with a substantial number of followers around the globe. In addition to its intuitive programming language, Python now offers numerous libraries which provide powerful tools and methods to do, among many other things, mathematics, physics, text processing, and musical composition. Once one grasps the core of the language, then help, hints, and a wealth of sample codes are just a google away. Besides many books on Python, there is an uncountable number of documents on the internet. However, I wanted to have one source that I can follow to systematically teach (or learn) the core of the language before diving into more advanced fronts. I also wanted to have a source that is short, to the point and which provides interesting programming examples; examples that I enjoy coding, modifying and experimenting with. This book grew out of a course I gave at Western Sydney University. It allows the reader to learn Python by going through interesting exercises step by step, with short and concise explanations. Thus, this book could be considered for a course in Python, or for self-study. It mainly concentrates on the core of Python programming. I have mostly chosen problems having something to do with natural numbers as they do not need any particular background. The codes have been written in Jupyter using Python version 3.
