preface

Given the popularity of social media and online streaming services, you have probably experienced how far machine learning (ML) can go in delivering personalized services. Even though this exciting field opens doors to many new possibilities and has become an indispensable part of our lives, training ML models requires the use of significant amounts of data collected in various ways. When this data is processed through ML models, it is essential to preserve the confidentiality and privacy of individuals and to maintain the trust of those who use these models.

While preserving privacy in ML is essential, it is also challenging. In late 2014, Dr. Chang and his former PhD student, Dr. Mohammad Al-Rubaie, started to investigate ...

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
