      Quantum Communication and Cryptography introduces readers to the theory of quantum cryptography, with a focus will on quantum key distribution (QKD) and more advanced quantum cryptographic protocols beyond QKD. It contains a brief introduction to the field of modern cryptography that is needed to fully appreciate and understand how quantum cryptographic systems are proven secure, and how they can be safely used in combination with current day classical systems. Readers are then introduced to quantum key distribution (QKD) - perhaps the most celebrated, and currently the most practical, of quantum cryptographic techniques.Basic protocols are described, and security proofs are given, providing readers with the knowledge needed to understand how QKD protocols are proven secure using modern, state- of-the-art definitions of security. Following this, more advanced QKD protocols are discussed, along with alternative quantum and classical methods to improve QKD performance. Finally, alternative quantum cryptographic protocols are covered, along with a discussion on some of the practical considerations of quantum secure communication technology. Throughout, protocols are described in a clear and consistent manner that still provides comprehensive, theoretical proofs and methods.

      Software Engineering professionals now face challenges in incorporating GAI into the products and programs they are developing. At this point, the knowledge about developing AI-based software is mostly based on classical AI, i.e., non-generative ML systems. Developers know how to use machine learning and, to some extent, how to include it in production systems. Engineering Generative-AI Based Software takes software development to the next level by using generative AI instead. Readers learn how to use text, image and audio models as part of larger software systems. The book discusses both the process of developing such software and the architectures for this kind of software, combining theory with practice. Generative AI software is gaining popularity thanks to such models as GPT-4 or Llama. More and more products use them as part of their feature portfolio, but this software is often limited to web applications or recommendation systems. Author Miroslav Staron shows readers how to tackle the challenges of professionally engineering generative AI-based systems. The book starts by reviewing the most relevant models and technologies in this area, both theoretically and practically. Once readers know the technologies, the book goes into details of software engineering practices for such systems, e.g., eliciting functional and non-functional requirements specific to generative AI, various architectural styles and tactics for such systems, and different programming platforms. The book also shows how to create robust licensing models and the technology to support them. Finally, readers learn how to manage data, both during the training and also when generating new data, as well as how to use the generated data and user feedback to constantly evolve generative AI-based software.

      Distributed AI in the Modern World: Technical and Social Aspects of Interacting Intelligent Agents presents several state-of-the-art insights into the various forms of distribution of artificial intelligence, with practical application instances. This book does not analyze the internal workings of machine learning models (for instance, in the case of multi-agent reinforcement learning), but instead provides readers with an overview of the challenges brought by the need of artificially intelligent entities to interact with other entities and with their environment along with practical solutions at an architectural level. Deployment, maintenance and monitoring of distributed machine learning systems brings about many practical challenges, dealing with the intelligent agents distributed across a network of heterogenous devices, or interacting with robots and humans alike. While these scenarios are very different, some challenges remain the same when interaction exists: discoverability, availability, communication language and formats, and efficiency in transferring significant amounts of information. The book provides readers with practical solutions at an architectural level, with solutions presented in three parts. Part 1 deals with the distribution of the learning process and the utilization of machine learning models in a distributed system. Part 2 deals with tools that enable the distribution and interaction of artificial learning entities and how multi-agent systems and machine learning can be combined. Part 3 deals with the physical embodiment of intelligent agents and the interaction of intelligent computing units bound to physical space. The three parts are followed by a conclusion, emphasizing the challenges that are common to all scenarios and solutions which apply in a wider range of cases.

      Data Compression for Data Mining Algorithms tackles the important problems in the design of more efficient data mining algorithms by way of data compression techniques and provides the first systematic and comprehensive description of the relationships between data compression mechanisms and the computations involved in data mining algorithms. Data mining algorithms are powerful analytical techniques used across various disciplines, including business, engineering, and science. However, in the big data era, tasks such as association rule mining and classification often require multiple scans of databases, while clustering and outlier detection methods typically depend on Euclidean distance for similarity measures, leading to high computational costs. Data Compression for Data Mining Algorithms addresses these challenges by focusing on the scalarization of data mining algorithms, leveraging data compression techniques to reduce dataset sizes and applying information theory principles to minimize computations involved in tasks such as feature selection and similarity computation. The book features the latest developments in both lossless and lossy data compression methods and provides a comprehensive exposition of data compression methods for data mining algorithm design from multiple points of view. Key discussions include Huffman coding, scalar and vector quantization, transforms, subbands, wavelet-based compression for scalable algorithms, and the role of neural networks, particularly deep learning, in feature selection and dimensionality reduction. The book’s contents are well-balanced for both theoretical analysis and real-world applications, and the chapters are well organized to compose a solid overview of the data compression techniques for data mining. To provide the reader with a more complete understanding of the material, projects and problems solved with Python are interspersed throughout the text.
