Active Machine Learning with Python
Active machine learning is a method used in machine learning where the algorithm can query an oracle to label new data points with the desired outputs. It stands at the crossroads of optimization and humancomputer interaction, enabling machines to learn more effectively with less data. This is particularly valuable in scenarios where data labeling is costly, time-consuming, or requires expert knowledge. Throughout this book, we leverage Python, a leading programming language in the field of data science and machine learning, known for its simplicity and powerful libraries. Python serves as an excellent medium for exploring the concepts of active machine learning, providing both beginners and experienced practitioners with the tools needed to implement sophisticated models

Accelerate Model Training with PyTorch 2.X
HPC systems comprise powerful computing resources tightly integrated to solve complex problems. The main goal of HPC is to employ resources, techniques, and methods to accelerate the execution of highly intensive computing tasks. Traditionally, HPC environments have been used to execute scientific applications from biology, physics, chemistry, and many other areas. But this has changed in the past few years. Nowadays, HPC systems run tasks beyond scientific applications. In fact, the most prominent non-scientific workload executed in HPC environments is precisely the subject of this book: the building process of complex neural network models.

A CISO Guide to Cyber Resilience
Greetings, fellow cybersecurity enthusiasts! Welcome to the world of cyber resilience, where the goal is to build a security program that enables your organization to not only withstand cyber-attacks but also to recover swiftly. As the United States Department of Homeland Security aptly defines it, cyber resiliency is the “ability to resist, absorb, recover from or successfully adapt to adversity or a change in conditions.”1 It’s not just a process; it’s an ultimate state of readiness. An organization achieves resilience when it can bounce back from any disruption, be it a ransomware attack or any other cyber threat, without major disruptions.

Communication Patterns
Communication underlies pretty much everything you do, from your facial expres‐ sion showing disapproval or enjoyment, to your email about the latest project update, to what you say in a meeting or presentation. But what is communication, and how do you make it successful? The Oxford English Dictionary defines communication as “the activity or process of expressing ideas and feelings or of giving people information.” This encompasses many of the important aspects of communication but doesn’t indicate what would make it successful. The same dictionary defines communicate as “to share or exchange information, news, ideas, feelings, etc.” This definition provides more detail, but we still need to go further to work out how to make communication successful.

Zero Trust Networks
Building trusted systems in hostile networks has been a passion of ours for many years. In building and designing such systems, we have found frustration in the pace of progress toward solving some of the more fundamental security problems plaguing our industry. We’d very much like to see the industry move more aggressively toward building systems that strive to solve these problems. To that end, we propose that the world take a new stance toward building and main‐ taining secure computer networks. Rather than being something that is layered on top, only considered after some value has been built, security must be fundamentally infused with the operation of the system itself. It must be ever-present, enabling operation rather than restricting it. As such, this book sets forth a collection of design patterns and considerations which, when heeded, can produce systems that are resilient to the vast majority of modern-day attack vectors

Web Scraping with Python
The automated gathering of data from the internet is nearly as old as the internet itself. Although web scraping is not a new term, in years past the practice has been more commonly known as screen scraping, data mining, web harvesting, or similar variations. General consensus today seems to favor web scraping, so that is the term I use throughout the book, although I also refer to programs that specifically traverse multiple pages as web crawlers or refer to the web scraping programs themselves as bots. In theory, web scraping is the practice of gathering data through any means other than a program interacting with an API (or, obviously, through a human using a web browser). This is most commonly accomplished by writing an automated program that queries a web server, requests data (usually in the form of HTML and other files that compose web pages), and then parses that data to extract needed information.

Understanding DeFi
Decentralized finance, or DeFi, is just about finance without banks. It’s one of the core use cases for blockchain, which is really an innovation in accounting. DeFi will eventually be a key part of finance for people, and one of the primary ways people earn returns on their assets, whether fiat or cryptocurrency. Banks need competitors, and so do DeFi protocols. Together, they will allow people to get the highest and best returns on their assets for the lowest cost and risk.This book is not about promoting specific DeFi protocols, or even about promoting the current state of DeFi. It is about understanding the entirety of the space—where it fits into blockchain, its core elements, how to operate in the space, and the future of DeFi.

Training Data for Machine Learning
Will your life really be affected? Here’s a test. Are you in tech, working on a software product? Does your work, or your company’s product, have any form of repetitive tasks? Things you or users of your product do on a regular cycle? If you answered yes to any of these questions, AI and machine learning (ML) have the potential to take on more of the workload, enabling you or your users to focus on higher-level work, and will therefore impact you. If you want to better align with this new AI wave, this book will reveal many of the nuts and bolts that make AI actually work in practice. It will help accelerate your success in your current job and prepare you for new AI-centric roles. Speaking of jobs, you know how the first few days or weeks on a new job are—stress‐ful, crazy, unpredictable? Then all of the sudden, the work, all the day-to-day stuff, snaps into place and makes sense? What was once unimaginable becomes ordinary because you learned how to fit in, how to adapt. Over a relatively short period of time you go from spilling coffee on the boss’s shirt to being a productive part of the system.

Dancing with Qubits
When most people think about computers, they consider laptops or maybe even bigger systems such as the servers that power the web, the Internet, and the cloud. If you look around, you may start seeing computers in other places. Modern cars, for example, have anywhere from around 20 computers to more than 100 to control all the systems that allow you to move, brake, monitor the air conditioning, and control the entertainment system. The smartphone is the computer many people use more than anything else in a typical day. A modern phone contains a 64-bit processor, whatever a ‘‘64-bit processor’’ is. The amount of memory used for running all those apps might be 3GB, which means 3 gigabytes. All these computers are called classical computers, and the original ideas for them go ack to the 1940s. Sounding more scientific, we say these computers have a von Neumann architecture, named after the mathematician and physicist John von Neumann.
