Machine Learning Risk Assessments in Criminal Justice Settings
by Richard BerkThis book puts in one place and in accessible form Richard Berk’s most recent work on forecasts of re-offending by individuals already in criminal justice custody. Using machine learning statistical procedures trained on very large datasets, an explicit introduction of the relative costs of forecasting errors as the forecasts are constructed, and an emphasis on maximizing forecasting accuracy, the author shows how his decades of research on the topic improves forecasts of risk. Criminal justice risk forecasts anticipate the future behavior of specified individuals, rather than “predictive policing” for locations in time and space, which is a very different enterprise that uses different data different data analysis tools. The audience for this book includes graduate students and researchers in the social sciences, and data analysts in criminal justice agencies. Formal mathematics is used only as necessary or in concert with more intuitive explanations.
Machine Learning Safety (Artificial Intelligence: Foundations, Theory, and Algorithms)
by Xiaowei Huang Gaojie Jin Wenjie RuanMachine learning algorithms allow computers to learn without being explicitly programmed. Their application is now spreading to highly sophisticated tasks across multiple domains, such as medical diagnostics or fully autonomous vehicles. While this development holds great potential, it also raises new safety concerns, as machine learning has many specificities that make its behaviour prediction and assessment very different from that for explicitly programmed software systems. This book addresses the main safety concerns with regard to machine learning, including its susceptibility to environmental noise and adversarial attacks. Such vulnerabilities have become a major roadblock to the deployment of machine learning in safety-critical applications. The book presents up-to-date techniques for adversarial attacks, which are used to assess the vulnerabilities of machine learning models; formal verification, which is used to determine if a trained machine learning model is free of vulnerabilities; and adversarial training, which is used to enhance the training process and reduce vulnerabilities. The book aims to improve readers’ awareness of the potential safety issues regarding machine learning models. In addition, it includes up-to-date techniques for dealing with these issues, equipping readers with not only technical knowledge but also hands-on practical skills.

Machine Learning Techniques for Cybersecurity (Synthesis Lectures on Information Security, Privacy, and Trust)
by Elisa Bertino Sonam Bhardwaj Fabrizio Cicala Sishuai Gong Imtiaz Karim Charalampos Katsis Hyunwoo Lee Adrian Shuai Li Ashraf Y. MahgoubThis book explores machine learning (ML) defenses against the many cyberattacks that make our workplaces, schools, private residences, and critical infrastructures vulnerable as a consequence of the dramatic increase in botnets, data ransom, system and network denials of service, sabotage, and data theft attacks. The use of ML techniques for security tasks has been steadily increasing in research and also in practice over the last 10 years. Covering efforts to devise more effective defenses, the book explores security solutions that leverage machine learning (ML) techniques that have recently grown in feasibility thanks to significant advances in ML combined with big data collection and analysis capabilities. Since the use of ML entails understanding which techniques can be best used for specific tasks to ensure comprehensive security, the book provides an overview of the current state of the art of ML techniques for security and a detailed taxonomy of security tasks and corresponding ML techniques that can be used for each task. It also covers challenges for the use of ML for security tasks and outlines research directions. While many recent papers have proposed approaches for specific tasks, such as software security analysis and anomaly detection, these approaches differ in many aspects, such as with respect to the types of features in the model and the dataset used for training the models. In a way that no other available work does, this book provides readers with a comprehensive view of the complex area of ML for security, explains its challenges, and highlights areas for future research. This book is relevant to graduate students in computer science and engineering as well as information systems studies, and will also be useful to researchers and practitioners who work in the area of ML techniques for security tasks.
Machine Learning Techniques for Gait Biometric Recognition
by Isaac Woungang James Eric Mason Issa TraoréThis book focuses on how machine learning techniques can be used to analyze and make use of one particular category of behavioral biometrics known as the gait biometric. A comprehensive Ground Reaction Force (GRF)-based Gait Biometrics Recognition framework is proposed and validated by experiments. In addition, an in-depth analysis of existing recognition techniques that are best suited for performing footstep GRF-based person recognition is also proposed, as well as a comparison of feature extractors, normalizers, and classifiers configurations that were never directly compared with one another in any previous GRF recognition research. Finally, a detailed theoretical overview of many existing machine learning techniques is presented, leading to a proposal of two novel data processing techniques developed specifically for the purpose of gait biometric recognition using GRF. This book · introduces novel machine-learning-based temporal normalization techniques · bridges research gaps concerning the effect of footwear and stepping speed on footstep GRF-based person recognition · provides detailed discussions of key research challenges and open research issues in gait biometrics recognition · compares biometrics systems trained and tested with the same footwear against those trained and tested with different footwear

Srinivasa RaoMACHINE LEARNING TECHNIQUES FOR VLSI CHIP DESIGN This cutting-edge new volume covers the hardware architecture implementation, the software implementation approach, the efficient hardware of machine learning applications with FPGA or CMOS circuits, and many other aspects and applications of machine learning techniques for VLSI chip design. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have, or will have, an impact on almost every aspect of our lives and every device that we own. AI has benefitted every industry in terms of computational speeds, accurate decision prediction, efficient machine learning (ML), and deep learning (DL) algorithms. The VLSI industry uses the electronic design automation tool (EDA), and the integration with ML helps in reducing design time and cost of production. Finding defects, bugs, and hardware Trojans in the design with ML or DL can save losses during production. Constraints to ML-DL arise when having to deal with a large set of training datasets. This book covers the learning algorithm for floor planning, routing, mask fabrication, and implementation of the computational architecture for ML-DL. The future aspect of the ML-DL algorithm is to be available in the format of an integrated circuit (IC). A user can upgrade to the new algorithm by replacing an IC. This new book mainly deals with the adaption of computation blocks like hardware accelerators and novel nano-material for them based upon their application and to create a smart solution. This exciting new volume is an invaluable reference for beginners as well as engineers, scientists, researchers, and other professionals working in the area of VLSI architecture development.
