    Abstract: Feature engineering is a crucial step in the machine-learning pipeline, yet this topic is rarely examined on its own. With this practical book, you'll learn techniques for extracting and transforming features-the numeric representations of raw data-into formats for machine-learning models. Each chapter guides you through a single data problem, such as how to represent text or image data. Together, these examples illustrate the main principles of feature engineering. Rather than simply teach these principles, authors Alice Zheng and Amanda Casari focus on practical application with exercises throughout the book. The closing chapter brings everything together by tackling a real-world, structured dataset with several feature-engineering techniques. Python packages including numpy, Pandas, Scikit-learn, and Matplotlib are used in code examples. You'll examine: Feature engineering for numeric data: filtering, binning, scaling, log transforms, and power transforms Natural text techniques: bag-of-words, n-grams, and phrase detection Frequency-based filtering and feature scaling for eliminating uninformative features Encoding techniques of categorical variables, including feature hashing and bin-counting Model-based feature engineering with principal component analysis The concept of model stacking, using k-means as a featurization technique Image feature extraction with manual and deep-learning techniques

    Abstract: In this book, you'll find 54 hands-on descriptions that help you DO the key methods used in service design. These methods include instructions, guidelines, and tips-and-tricks for activities within research, ideation, prototyping, and facilitation. This is the print version of the method companion to the book This Is Service Design Doing (#TiSDD). It includes the same content that you can find free on the book website, tisdd.com, but nicely revisualized and presented in a professional bound format. Caveat: While methods are the building blocks of a service design process, owning a pile of bricks does not make you an architect or even a bricklayer. Success in doing service design certainly requires a mastery of these methods. However, you must also be able to combine them into a process that fits the context and needs of your organization and guide people through this new way of working. This book only contains the building blocks-the methods. It doesn't detail how to assemble them into a cohesive design process or how to plan or manage it. Neither does it describe why people should invest in service design nor explain how to bring service design to life in your organization. For all of this (and more), please read This Is Service Design Doing .

    Abstract: Automated traffic is a major factor in the modern internet, especially for website owners. Bots, spiders, and scrapers now exceed the amount of traffic from human users, and this trend is expected to continue in the number and sophistication of bot types. With this handbook, Intechnica co-founder Andy Still provides guidelines to help public-facing sites identify and manage various types of automated traffic. Some bots are beneficial, such as automated traffic triggered by direct human action, but many of them are highly profitable ventures run by organized criminal groups. Bots can negatively impact your site and your business by: Fraudulently taking advertising revenue without displaying ads to potential customers Stealing website content for competitors to use on their own sites Publishing offensive content on your comments or forum pages Accessing your users' personal data for use elsewhere Creating fake accounts to take unfair advantage of special offers Skewing analytics that would lead you to make invalid business decisions Managing and Mitigating Bots helps you determine which traffic is non-human and requires action, and then guides you through the process of defining a bot-handling policy tailored to the type of bot traffic you identify.

    Abstract: Most organizations realize that their future depends on the ability to quickly adapt to constant changes brought on by variable and complex environments. It's become increasingly clear that the core source behind these innovative solutions is data. Polyglot persistence refers to systems that provide many different types of data storage technologies to deal with this vast variability of data. Applications that need to access data from more than one store have to navigate an array of databases in a complex-and ultimately unsustainable-maze. One solution to this problem is readily available. In this ebook, consultant Joel Ruisi explains how a multi-model database enables you to take advantage of many different types of data models (and multiple schemas) in a single backend. With a multi-model database, companies can easily centralize, manage, and search all the data the IT system collects. The result is data agility : the ability to adapt to changing environments and serve users what they need when they need it. Through several detailed use cases, this ebook explains how multi-model databases enable you to: Store and manage multiple heterogeneous data sources Consolidate your data by bringing everything in "as is" Invisibly extend model features from one model to another Take a hybrid approach to analytical and operational data Enhance user search experience, including big data search Conduct queries across data models Offer SQL without relational constraints

    Abstract: IT executives in companies undergoing digital transformation have many stakeholders. Business units stress online sales, conversions, and self-service, while product owners push for new online features and products. Each group has its own key performance indicators (KPIs) for tracking progress. Yet, one leading indicator essential to the success of all of these other metrics-web performance-is often neglected. Yet it's the one area IT professionals directly control. In this article, professor and Comcast engineer Tom Barker explains how poor application performance can hinder your company's digital transformation. Customers quick to abandon slow-loading applications can be left with the impression that your site's problems are indicative of other offerings. You'll learn tips for addressing web performance on a large scale, including the recruitment of internal and external champions to help you set up processes and best practices for improving and maintaining your application's day-to-day performance.

    Abstract: Beyond incident response and threat intelligence operations, threat hunting can provide an extra layer of defense for your company's network. In many organizations, security analysts initiate threat hunting when they spot something weird-network conditions or activity not easily explained-in an effort to catch subtle, more deeply embedded attackers. With this practical ebook, you'll explore how this method works and learn how to stage an effective threat hunting program and evaluate the results. Author Michael Collins, chief scientist for the network security and data analysis company RedJack in Washington, DC, explains why threat hunting is an ideal support for your existing security operations center. With both architecture and attacks constantly changing, proactive threat hunting will help security analysts and security managers discover how your company's assets really work. Learn about the process, goals, and benefits of threat hunting Examine your organization's readiness for threat hunting, including the resources, data, and personnel you need Delve into the process using a typical threat hunting workflow Get a brief encyclopedia of threat hunting techniques, including core concepts and situational awareness Explore resources for additional threat hunting strategies and techniques

    Abstract: Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks have existed for almost as long as the commercial web itself, and they remain one of the most effective ways to disrupt online services. But, since many of these attacks go undisclosed, industry collaboration on ways to combat them has been slow to emerge. This ebook provides engineers and IT managers with techniques for detecting and mitigating ongoing and potential DDoS events. Authors Rich Groves and Eric Chou explain how DDoS can disrupt services by flooding your network with traffic from many different sources, often by using a botnet. You'll learn about the people behind these attacks and their motivations-such as criminals seeking financial gain, thrill and status seekers, and angry and disgruntled users-and ways that you can thwart them. The techniques in this ebook enable small to mid-sized organizations to implement DDoS prevention measures on a budget-before the size of your infrastructure requires the services of a commercial DDoS vendor. Get an overview of DDoS, including common attacks, botnet-driven attacks, and those that take advantage of IoT devices Explore the pros and cons of current DDoS detection methods and mechanisms Study the approach to DDoS mitigation at the network and application level, including ways to combat SYN Flood and Classic Flood attacks Evaluate cloud-based DDoS detection and mitigation vendors to determine the best fit for your organization Learn how to leverage community-based systems to construct a DDoS-focused Threat Intelligence system

    Abstract: Agile transformation has become a big deal among enterprise organizations, even if the deal has proved difficult to close. Agile software development has long thrived among independent developers, but recently large organizations across all industries have begun agile programs-only to watch those initiatives run into obstacles and lose steam. In this concise report, author Matt LeMay discusses why agile transformations in the enterprise fail, and then examines a business-goals-first approach that can help your company move forward with agile. You'll learn best practices for taking the goals-first approach, including two methods for implementing and scaling your agile process-using top-down scaled agile frameworks, or bottom-up localized experiments. After presenting case studies from Coca Cola and Adobe, LeMay also addresses additional steps that your organization can take to "future-proof" your agile transformation efforts.

    Abstract: With more than 500 new Node.js packages arriving each day, npm is the world's largest reusable package registry and the Node ecosystem's greatest strength. But as the number of detected vulnerabilities continues to rise significantly, the packages themselves are becoming a liability. This ebook shows application developers and penetration testers practical strategies for evaluating and working with today's npm packages. Author Chetan Karande ( Securing Node Applications ) analyzes package vulnerabilities found by security researchers and the Node community, including common coding mistakes behind the most severe and frequently found problems. While the database is by no means comprehensive due to the flood of new packages, these known vulnerabilities still provide a valuable guide to help you conduct a manual code review of npm packages. You'll examine the top Node package vulnerabilities, including: Insecure access to the filesystem that leads to directory traversal and symlink attacks Pitfalls that often cause Node developers to inadvertently expose sensitive data Denial-of-service attacks that can prevent legitimate users from accessing your service Cross-site scripting (XSS), a prevalent web application security flaw and frequently occurring vulnerability in Node packages Injection vulnerabilities that enable attackers to obtain, corrupt, or destroy server contents

    Abstract: If your organization is planning a move to the cloud this year, choosing a provider from among hundreds available can be the most difficult part. How do you narrow down the field? In this article, Jesse Anderson, managing director of the Big Data Institute, provides guidelines to help you find a cloud provider that meets your company's specific needs. Understanding your use case is key. Providers employ different technologies, and if your organization is tackling big data problems at scale, those differences can be critical. There are also logistical concerns: How difficult will it be to train your staff on the provider's technologies? Who in your company will be responsible for the many moving parts? How do you deal with vendor lock-in? With the guidelines in this article, you'll learn how to distinguish among the capabilities of various cloud providers and then fine-tune your decision process by homing in on questions related to your particular use case.

    Abstract: Docker's catchphrase for its containers is compelling: "Build, Ship and Run Any App, Anywhere." Go already has some of those attributes built in, including cross-compilation and the production of single executable files without dependencies. Are there any reasons, then, for Go programmers to use containers to deploy code? In this lesson, veteran developer Liz Rice outlines several advantages that containers can provide for Go programmers-such as how they help you restrict the resources that your code can access, and how you can use them to run and test your software locally with other components. You'll then look at some cases where containers wouldn't add any benefit at all. As always, it's important to use the right tool for the job, and containers can offer advantages for Go programmers in the right circumstances. This lesson provides some helpful guidelines.

    Abstract: In the race to compete in today's fast-moving markets, large enterprises are busy adopting new technologies for creating new products, processes, and business models. But one obstacle on the road to digital transformation is placing too much emphasis on technology, and not enough on the types of processes technology enables. What if different lines of business could build their own services and applications-and decision-making was distributed rather than centralized? This report explores the concept of a digital business platform as a way of empowering individual business sectors to act on data in real time. Much innovation in a digital enterprise will increasingly happen at the edge, whether it involves business users (from marketers to data scientists) or IoT devices. To facilitate the process, your core IT team can provide these sectors with the digital tools they need to innovate quickly. This report explores: Key cultural and organizational changes for developing business capabilities through cross-functional product teams A platform for integrating applications, data sources, business partners, clients, mobile apps, social networks, and IoT devices Creating internal API programs for building innovative edge services in low- code or no-code environments Tools including Integration Platform as a Service, Application Platform as a Service, and Integration Software as a Service The challenge of integrating microservices and serverless architectures An integration solution for a digital business platform that serves every audience in your organization

    Abstract: Positions in product management are in high demand today for job seekers and companies alike, and yet there is much confusion in the market about what, exactly, this role is and does. Many conflate product management with project management, a much more familiar role. This ebook explains the distinction between product and project management for executives and hiring managers, including how these two roles often overlap and complement one another. Bruce McCarthy, CEO of UpUp Labs and President of the Boston Product Management Association, explains that while project managers are responsible for marshalling resources to deliver products on time and on budget, product managers are responsible for the entire lifecycle, from initial research to final product-including market analysis after the product is released. This ebook examines the responsibilities, skills, and expertise that define and differentiate product management and project management, and provides guidelines to help you determine which position best fits your needs.

    Abstract: The data lake was once heralded as the answer to the flood of big data that arrived in a variety of structured and unstructured formats. But, due to the ease of integration and the lack of governance, data lakes in many companies have devolved into unusable data swamps. This short ebook shows you how to solve this problem using an Operational Data Hub (ODH) to collect, store, index, cleanse, harmonize, and master data of all shapes and formats. Gerhard Ungerer-CTO and co-founder of Random Bit LLC-explains how the ODH supports transactional integrity so that the hub can serve as integration point for enterprise applications. You'll also learn how the ODH helps you leverage the investment in your data lake (or swamp), so that the data trapped there can finally be ingested, processed, and provisioned. With this ebook, you'll learn how an ODH: Allows you to focus on categorizing data for easy and fast retrieval Provides flexible storage models, indexing support, query capabilities, security, and a governance framework Delivers flexible storage models; support for indexing, scripting, and automation; query capabilities; transactional integrity; and security Includes a governance model to help you access, ingest, harmonize, materialize, provision, and consume data

As this report explains, the Actor model provides a relatively simple but powerful way to design and implement reactive applications that can distribute work across clusters of cores and servers. Author Hugh McKee shows you how Actors behave and interact as humans do when it comes to communicating, and how these similar behavioral patterns provide basic intuition when designing reactive systems. Actors allow your teams to focus on an application's business logic rather than on low-level protocols, accelerating time-to-market while keeping your infrastructure costs low. Download this report and discover: Why actor-based systems are one of the foundational technologies for creating microservice architectures How Actors delegate work by creating other Actors in a supervisor-to-worker relationship How Actors manage requests and scale horizontally in large systems The difference between traditional systems and actor-based systems How an Actor system forms clusters when the flow of work exceeds a system's capacity to process it Why failure detection and failure recovery is an architectural feature of Actor systems An example of using Actors to build an Internet of Things (IoT) application Hugh McKee is a solutions architect at Lightbend. Prior to this role he served as a software architect and engineer at HP, where he helped build the core frameworks and platform that support the organization's internal application teams. Now he is focused on helping others to discover the significant advantages and joys of building responsive, resilient, elastic, message-based applications.

    Abstract: Organizations across all industries are attempting to capitalize on the promise of Big Data by using their information assets as a source of competitive advantage. In doing so, they are investing heavily in areas such as analytic tools and new storage capabilities. However, they often neglect the data management layer of the equation: it's not simply about finding an optimal way to store or analyze the data, but it's also vital that you prepare and manage the data for consumption. After all, if the data is inaccurate or incomplete, no consumer will trust or use it. Typically, organizations expend a lot of time on manual data cleaning and vetting to create "master records"-a single, trusted view of an organizational entity such as a customer or supplier-and this is often the area where most help is needed. This report explains just how powerful machine learning can be when applied directly to the creation of master data records. Known as agile data mastering, this method leverages ML's speed and flexibility to quickly create accurate master records that can scale across datasets and domains. You'll learn agile data mastering processes based on the operation of Tamr, an enterprise-scale data unification company that applies human-guided machine learning to this task. This report explores the: Overall importance and many uses of master data records Challenge of creating these records in distributed, complex data environments Differences between traditional master data management (MDM) and agile data mastering Advantages of agile data mastering Technology of Tamr, a data unification company that provides agile data mastering solutions

    Abstract: Relentless focus on customer experience, continuous (and fast) iteration, and empathy are hallmarks of today's most successful businesses. Those practices are also core tenets of design thinking-and it's crucial for business leaders to master them, in addition to classic "business thinking" skills like strategic planning and direction setting. In this report, Holly O'Driscoll, founder and CEO of design thinking consultancy Ampersand Innovation, explains why the best leaders employ design thinking alongside business thinking to inspire creative breakthroughs and innovations. Learn why successful business leaders are masters of both deductive reasoning and the more open-ended work of imagining possibilities that challenge assumptions Understand how to synthesize right-brain business thinking with left-brain design thinking to deliver results See how a focus on customers' needs led to the creation of innovative products at Gillette and Ring

    Abstract: The cloud has ushered in a new era of computing, but its tenants still use old-school methods to deploy poorly secured, resource-hogging applications. This 40-page report provides a high-level overview of unikernels: small, secure, and fast workloads that could usher in a new phase in cloud computing. Author Russell Pavlicek examines several key problems that unikernels address. Virtual machines loaded with full operating systems and thousands of utilities don't make sense in the cloud. They waste resources and provide a wide attack surface with a target-rich environment, as demonstrated by massive data breaches in the past few years. Unikernels use only the OS resources necessary make their applications work. Because these single-address-space machine images introduce low-level OS operations at compile time, they typically measure just kilobytes in size, with tiny attack surfaces. With this report, you'll examine: What a unikernel is and why it should matter to you What their development, testing, and deployment stages look like How unikernels derive from embedded programming Why unikernels help reduce data-center resource overload How unikernels could significantly increase cloud security Key projects, including MirageOS, HaLVM, LING, and ClickOS Ecosystem projects that support the development and use of unikernels Limitations to consider when adopting unikernel-based solutions Future developments, including integration with Docker and possible fusion with container technology

    Abstract: Delegating work often goes awry. The software doesn't work, the invitations aren't sent out on time, or nobody shows up to staff the trade show booth. Or the work is done on time, but at the expense of team member engagement. When a project fails or just plain doesn't match your expectations as team leader, it's usually your fault. This insightful report examines the best ways to delegate work so that you not only end up with successfully completed tasks, but also a team of cheerful people- including a cheerful you. Through interviews with more than two dozen management authorities-executives, managers, leadership coaches, advisors, and authors-author Esther Schindler takes you on a journey through the process, pitfalls, and rewards of delegating work to others. Adopt a managerial attitude: learn how to cede control and trust your team Understand empowerment: know what, how, and to whom to delegate tasks Assign tasks sensibly: delegate objectives and clarify expectations Check on a task's progress: learn how to provide communication and support Judge the results through a mentor's eyes: praise your team and cope with failure

    Abstract: As more connected products are launched and kickstarted daily, it's clear that homes have become a new data factory for entrepreneurs, designers, and developers. But most of these products are based on the assumption that efficiency is the main goal of domestic life. In this O'Reilly report, you'll explore why and how smart home products also need to fit into the contextual and cultural environment-the experiences and rituals-of our everyday lives. Author Simone Rebaudengo explores ways that designers can find the right balance between control and automation. How can culture and context help you design connected-product behaviors that fit our lives rather than change them? This report looks at the possibilities. Explore "smart" homes of the past, the technological dream, and promises of automation Consider examples of today's smart home products, including the pitfalls of today's metaphors and interfaces Peer under the hood of "smartness" and learn to think of agency and algorithms as new design materials Learn how to "domesticate" smart products and understand why it's essential to design relationships rather than just connectivity

    Abstract: Investors recognize that technology is a powerful tool for obtaining and interpreting financial data that could give them the one thing everyone on Wall Street wants: an edge. Yet, many don't realize that you don't need to be a programmer to access behind-the-scenes financial information from Bloomberg, IHS Markit, or other systems found at most banks and investment firms. This practical guide teaches analysts a useful subset of Excel skills that will enable them to access and interpret financial information-without any prior programming experience. This book will show analysts, step-by-step, how to quickly produce professional reports that combine their views with Bloomberg or Markit data including historical financials, comparative analysis, and relative value. For portfolio managers, this book demonstrates how to create professional summary reports that contain a high-level view of a portfolio's performance, growth, risk-adjusted return, and composition. If you are a programmer, this book also contains a parallel path that covers the same topics using C#. Topics include: Access additional data that isn't visible on Bloomberg screens Create tables containing corporate data that makes it possible to compare multiple companies, bonds, or loans side-by- side Build one-page analytic ("Tear Sheet") reports for individual companies that incorporates important financials, custom notes, relative value comparison of the company to its peers, and price trends with research analyst targets Build two-page portfolio summary report that contains a high-level view of the portfolio's performance, growth, risk-adjusted return, and composition Explore daily prices and facility information for most of the tradable corporate bond and loan market Determine the relationship between two securities (or index) using correlation and regression Compare each security's performance to a cohort made of up of securities with similar risk and return characteristics Measure portfolio risk-adjusted return by calculating variance, standard deviation, and Sharpe ratio Use Markit data to identify meaningful trends in prices, new issue spreads, and refinancings
