A great review of mine and Adnan Masood, PhD. book ‘Responsible AI in the Enterprise’. This is all becoming increasingly relevant as AI regulation becomes clearer globally and Enterprises are increasingly shaping up how they risk assess and govern AI. ‘Responsible AI in the Enterprise by Adnan Masood, PhD. and Heather Dawe was a great treatment of all the things that can go wrong in AI / ML projects, important principles in the design and operation of these systems, and ways of detecting and mitigating fairness issues in AI Systems.’ Thank you Matt Eland! https://lnkd.in/eWefyccD #responsibleAI #AIEthics #AI
I have some cool things to share in the near future on libraries I've been developing and a few new projects on the horizon, but for a moment I want to highlight some learning efforts from my trip out to Nevada a few weeks ago. Whenever I fly, I read a book or two on each plane flight using a large print eReader. I read a number of books on my 3 flights including: C# Interview Guide by Konstantin Semenenko 🇺🇦 - an interesting exploration of .NET through a wide spectrum of interview questions. While no answer was comprehensive, the book as a whole took a very wide look at .NET development and would give the reader a number of things to think about and look into. I personally learned of a few new libraries to dig into and thought about a few language capabilities in different ways. Plus, the book surprised me by mentioning my book, Refactoring with C#, which made me randomly laugh in bemusement aboard the plane. C# Interview Guide is definitely one I'd recommend to folks looking to establish a foothold as a .NET developer or find areas to get deeper in. Python Feature Engineering Cookbook by Soledad Galli. This was a fun exploration of the myriad ways you can modify and introduce features to datasets in Python and the common problems that might cause you to consider doing so. The book focused a lot on unusual distributions, outliers, and other common tasks a data scientist or data analyst must perform and was a great educational resource. Responsible AI in the Enterprise by Adnan Masood, PhD. and Heather Dawe was a great treatment of all the things that can go wrong in AI / ML projects, important principles in the design and operation of these systems, and ways of detecting and mitigating fairness issues in AI Systems. This last part was a key factor in purchasing the book for me as I wanted a more in-depth exploration of Fairlearn and enjoyed the book's treatment of it. Hands-on Data Processing in Python by Roy Jafari. I didn't quite finish this one before I got back home, but this is a great treatment of different ways you might need to wrangle your data and gain control over it. It surprised me by setting a good foundation on machine learning in its opening 8 chapters before digging deep into progressively cleaning data, transforming it, and reducing its dimensionality. The book looks to end with a series of case studies, and I'm looking forward to finishing the remaining 35 pages or so in the near future. All in all, it was a great set of books to get me thinking deeper about data and its handling, help me wrap my head around some of the nuances of data distributions, and give me new things to look into in more detail and experiment with.
