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.

Deep Learning
Deep Learning: Foundations and Concepts aims to offer both newcomers to machine learning and those already experienced in the field a comprehensive grasp of fundamental ideas underpinning deep learning. Covering key concepts related to contemporary deep learning architectures and techniques, this essential book will equip readers with a robust foundation for potential future specialization. The field of deep learning is undergoing rapid evolution. Rather than summarizing the latest research developments, Bishop distills the key ideas in order to ensure that the foundations and concepts presented in this book will endure the test of time. For enhanced accessibility, the book is organized into numerous bite-sized chapters, each exploring a distinct topic. The narrative follows a linear progression, with each chapter building upon content from its predecessors. This structure lends itself effectively to teaching a two-semester undergraduate or postgraduate machine learning course, while remaining equally relevant to those engaged in active research or in self-study.To fully grasp machine learning, a certain level of mathematical understanding is required. The book provides a self-contained introduction to probability theory, and includes appendices summarizing useful results in linear algebra, calculus of variations, and Lagrange multipliers. However, the focus of the book is on conveying a clear understanding of ideas rather than mathematical rigor, with emphasis on real-world practical value of techniques rather than abstract theory. Complex concepts are presented from multiple perspectives including textual descriptions, diagrams, mathematical formulae, and pseudo-code to cater to readers from diverse backgrounds.This book can be viewed as a successor to Neural Networks for Pattern Recognition (Bishop, 1995a) which provided the first comprehensive treatment of neural networks from a statistical perspective. It can be considered as a companion volume to Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning (Bishop, 2006) which covered a broader range of topics in machine learning but predates the deep learning revolution.

Introduction to Deep Learning for Healthcare
This textbook presents deep learning models and their healthcare applications. It focuses on rich health data and deep learning models that can effectively model health data. Healthcare data: Among all healthcare technologies, electronic health records (EHRs) had vast adoption and a significant impact on healthcare delivery in recent years. One crucial benefit of EHRs is to capture all the patient encounters with rich multi-modality data. Healthcare data include both structured and unstructured information. Structured data include various medical codes for diagnoses and procedures, lab results, and medication information. Unstructured data contain 1) clinical notes as text, 2) medical imaging data such as X-rays, echocardiogram, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and 3) time-series data such as the electrocardiogram (ECG) and electroencephalogram (EEG). Beyond the data collected during clinical visits, patient self-generated/reported data start to grow thanks to wearable sensors’ increasing use. The authors present deep learning case studies on all data described.Deep learning models: Neural network models are a class of machine learning methods with a long history. Deep learning models are neural networks of many layers, which can extract multiple levels of features from raw data. Deep learning applied to healthcare is a natural and promising direction with many initial successes. The authors cover deep neural networks, convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks, embedding methods, autoencoders, attention models, graph neural networks, memory networks, and generative models. It’s presented with concrete healthcare case studies such as clinical predictive modeling, readmission prediction, phenotyping, x-ray classification, ECG diagnosis, sleep monitoring, automatic diagnosis coding from clinical notes, automatic deidentification, medication recommendation, drug discovery (drug property prediction and molecule generation), and clinical trial matching.This textbook targets graduate-level students focused on deep learning methods and their healthcare applications. It can be used for the concepts of deep learning and its applications as well. Researchers working in this field will also find this book to be extremely useful and valuable for their research.

Deep Learning Systems
This book describes deep learning systems: the algorithms, compilers, and processor components to efficiently train and deploy deep learning models for commercial applications.The exponential growth in computational power is slowing at a time when the amount of compute consumed by state-of-the-art deep learning (DL) workloads is rapidly growing. Model size, serving latency, and power constraints are a significant challenge in the deployment of DL models for many applications. Therefore, it is imperative to codesign algorithms, compilers, and hardware to accelerate advances in this field with holistic system-level and algorithm solutions that improve performance, power, and efficiency.Advancing DL systems generally involves three types of engineers: (1) data scientists that utilize and develop DL algorithms in partnership with domain experts, such as medical, economic, or climate scientists; (2) hardware designers that develop specialized hardware to accelerate the components in the DL models; and (3) performance and compiler engineers that optimize software to run more efficiently on a given hardware. Hardware engineers should be aware of the characteristics and components of production and academic models likely to be adopted by industry to guide design decisions impacting future hardware. Data scientists should be aware of deployment platform constraints when designing models. Performance engineers should support optimizations across diverse models, libraries, and hardware targets.The purpose of this book is to provide a solid understanding of (1) the design, training, and applications of DL algorithms in industry; (2) the compiler techniques to map deep learning code to hardware targets; and (3) the critical hardware features that accelerate DL systems. This book aims to facilitate co-innovation for the advancement of DL systems. It is written for engineers working in one or more of these areas who seek to understand the entire system stack in order to better collaborate with engineers working in other parts of the system stack.The book details advancements and adoption of DL models in industry, explains the training and deployment process, describes the essential hardware architectural features needed for today's and future models, and details advances in DL compilers to efficiently execute algorithms across various hardware targets.Unique in this book is the holistic exposition of the entire DL system stack, the emphasis on commercial applications, and the practical techniques to design models and accelerate their performance. The author is fortunate to work with hardware, software, data scientist, and research teams across many high-technology companies with hyperscale data centers. These companies employ many of the examples and methods provided throughout the book.
