      Large Language Models (LLMs) are a form of generative AI, based on Deep Learning, that rely on very large textual datasets, and are composed of hundreds of millions (or even billions) of parameters. LLMs can be trained and then refined to perform several NLP tasks like generation of text, summarization, translation, prediction, and more. Challenges and Applications of Generative Large Language Models assists readers in understanding LLMs, their applications in various sectors, challenges that need to be encountered while developing them, open issues, and ethical concerns. LLMs are just one approach in the huge set of methodologies provided by AI. The book, describing strengths and weaknesses of such models, enables researchers and software developers to decide whether an LLM is the right choice for the problem they are trying to solve. AI is the new buzzword, in particular Generative AI for human language (LLMs). As such, an overwhelming amount of hype is obfuscating and giving a distorted view about AI in general, and LLMs in particular. Thus, trying to provide an objective description of LLMs is useful to any person (researcher, professional, student) who is starting to work with human language. The risk, otherwise, is to forget the whole set of methodologies developed by AI in the last decades, sticking with only one model which, although very powerful, has known weaknesses and risks. Given the high level of hype around such models, Challenges and Applications of Generative Large Language Models (LLMs) enables readers to clarify and understand their scope and limitations.

      Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Safety-Critical Systems: A Comprehensive Guide provides engineers and system designers who are exploring the application of AI/ML methods for safety-critical systems with a dedicated resource capturing the challenges and mitigation strategies involved in designing such systems. Divided into nine sections, the book covers the most important applications of safety-critical systems, helping readers understand how related problems are being solved in different domains/problem settings. The goal of this book is to help ensure that AI-based critical systems better utilize resources, avoid failures, and increase system safety and public safety. The authors present ML techniques in safety-critical systems across multiple domains, including pattern recognition, image processing, edge computing, Internet of Things (IoT), encryption, hardware accelerators, and many others. These applications help readers understand the many challenges that need to be addressed in order to increase the deployment of ML models in critical systems. In addition, the book shows how to improve public trust in ML systems by providing explainable model outputs rather than treating the system as a black box for which the outputs are difficult to explain. Finally, the authors demonstrate how to meet legal certification and regulatory requirements for the appropriate ML models.
