Introduction to machine learning with applications in information security

By: Stamp, Mark.
Material type: materialTypeLabelBookSeries: Chapman &​ Hall/​CRC machine learning &​ pattern recognition. Publisher: Boca Raton: CRC Press, 2018Description: xiv, 345 p. : ill.; 24 cm.ISBN: 9781138626782.Subject(s): Machine Learning | Dynamic Programming | Scaling
 | Markov Models
 | PHMM | MSA | Neural Networks | Linear Discriminant Analysis | Data Analysis | ROC Curves | Malware
 | Spam | HMM Applications | Classic Cryptanalysis | PR Curves | Clustering | Principal Component Analysis | Quadratic Programming
 | SVDDDC classification: 004.6 Summary: Introduction to Machine Learning with Applications in Information Security provides a class-tested introduction to a wide variety of machine learning algorithms, reinforced through realistic applications. The book is accessible and doesn’t prove theorems, or otherwise dwell on mathematical theory. The goal is to present topics at an intuitive level, with just enough detail to clarify the underlying concepts. The book covers core machine learning topics in-depth, including Hidden Markov Models, Principal Component Analysis, Support Vector Machines, and Clustering. It also includes coverage of Nearest Neighbors, Neural Networks, Boosting and AdaBoost, Random Forests, Linear Discriminant Analysis, Vector Quantization, Naive Bayes, Regression Analysis, Conditional Random Fields, and Data Analysis. Most of the examples in the book are drawn from the field of information security, with many of the machine learning applications specifically focused on malware. The applications presented are designed to demystify machine learning techniques by providing straightforward scenarios. Many of the exercises in this book require some programming, and basic computing concepts are assumed in a few of the application sections. However, anyone with a modest amount of programming experience should have no trouble with this aspect of the book. Instructor resources, including PowerPoint slides, lecture videos, and other relevant material are provided on an accompanying website: http://www.cs.sjsu.edu/~stamp/ML/. For the reader’s benefit, the figures in the book are also available in electronic form, and in color.
