Demystify quantum computing by learning the math it is built onKey FeaturesBuild a solid mathematical foundation to get started with developing powerful quantum solutionsUnderstand linear algebra, calculus, matrices, complex numbers, vector spaces, and other concepts essential for quantum computingLearn the math needed to understand how quantum algorithms functionBook DescriptionQuantum computing is an exciting subject that offers hope to solve the world's most complex problems at a quicker pace. It is being used quite widely in different spheres of technology, including cybersecurity, finance, and many more, but its concepts, such as superposition, are often misunderstood because engineers may not know the math to understand them. This book will teach the requisite math concepts in an intuitive way and connect them to principles in quantum computing.Starting with the most basic of concepts, 2D vectors that are just line segments in space, you'll move on to tackle matrix multiplication using an instinctive method. Linearity is the major theme throughout the book and since quantum mechanics is a linear theory, you'll see how they go hand in hand. As you advance, you'll understand intrinsically what a vector is and how to transform vectors with matrices and operators. You'll also see how complex numbers make their voices heard and understand the probability behind it all.It's all here, in writing you can understand. This is not a stuffy math book with definitions, axioms, theorems, and so on. This book meets you where you're at and guides you to where you need to be for quantum computing. Already know some of this stuff? No problem! The book is componentized, so you can learn just the parts you want. And with tons of exercises and their answers, you'll get all the practice you need.What you will learnOperate on vectors (qubits) with matrices (gates)Define linear combinations and linear independenceUnderstand vector spaces and their basis setsRotate, reflect, and project vectors with matricesRealize the connection between complex numbers and the Bloch sphereDetermine whether a matrix is invertible and find its eigenvaluesProbabilistically determine the measurement of a qubitTie it all together with bra-ket notationWho this book is forIf you want to learn quantum computing but are unsure of the math involved, this book is for you. If you've taken high school math, you'll easily understand the topics covered. And even if you haven't, the book will give you a refresher on topics such as trigonometry, matrices, and vectors. This book will help you gain the confidence to fully understand quantum computation without losing you in the process!
Understand the key aspects and challenges of machine learning interpretability, learn how to overcome them with interpretation methods, and leverage them to build fairer, safer, and more reliable modelsKey FeaturesLearn how to extract easy-to-understand insights from any machine learning modelBecome well-versed with interpretability techniques to build fairer, safer, and more reliable modelsMitigate risks in AI systems before they have broader implications by learning how to debug black-box modelsBook DescriptionDo you want to understand your models and mitigate risks associated with poor predictions using machine learning (ML) interpretation? Interpretable Machine Learning with Python can help you work effectively with ML models. The first section of the book is a beginner's guide to interpretability, covering its relevance in business and exploring its key aspects and challenges. You'll focus on how white-box models work, compare them to black-box and glass-box models, and examine their trade-off. The second section will get you up to speed with a vast array of interpretation methods, also known as Explainable AI (XAI) methods, and how to apply them to different use cases, be it for classification or regression, for tabular, time-series, image or text. In addition to the step-by-step code, the book also helps the reader to interpret model outcomes using examples. In the third section, you'll get hands-on with tuning models and training data for interpretability by reducing complexity, mitigating bias, placing guardrails, and enhancing reliability. The methods you'll explore here range from state-of-the-art feature selection and dataset debiasing methods to monotonic constraints and adversarial retraining. By the end of this book, you'll be able to understand ML models better and enhance them through interpretability tuning.What you will learnRecognize the importance of interpretability in businessStudy models that are intrinsically interpretable such as linear models, decision trees, and Naive BayesBecome well-versed in interpreting models with model-agnostic methodsVisualize how an image classifier works and what it learnsUnderstand how to mitigate the influence of bias in datasetsDiscover how to make models more reliable with adversarial robustnessUse monotonic constraints to make fairer and safer modelsWho this book is forThis book is for data scientists, machine learning developers, and data stewards who have an increasingly critical responsibility to explain how the AI systems they develop work, their impact on decision making, and how they identify and manage bias. Working knowledge of machine learning and the Python programming language is expected.
