Modern organizations rely on complex vendor ecosystems, but third-party risk management (TPRM) and cybersecurity often operate in silos. This book shows how to connect vendor risk management with supply chain cybersecurity using a practical, lifecycle-driven approach.You’ll design a program covering onboarding, vendor risk assessment, continuous monitoring, and offboarding. You’ll begin by examining why TPRM and cybersecurity often operate in separate lanes, and what that gap costs in downtime, breach impact, and compliance exposure. Next, you’ll develop a modern taxonomy of supply chain risk, including fourth-party dependencies and software supply chain concerns, so risk discussions use consistent categories and measurable assumptions.From there, you’ll adopt a lifecycle-based model to structure vendor onboarding, assessment, monitoring, and offboarding—supported by vendor tiering, segmentation, and control mapping. The final chapter focuses on the regulatory blueprint: how to interpret NIST C-SCRM, ISO/IEC 27036, DORA, GDPR, and Executive Order 14028, then convert them into evidence-driven controls and audit-ready documentation.

The transformer architecture has proved to be revolutionary in outperforming the classical RNN and CNN models in use today. With an apply-as-you-learn approach, Transformers for Natural Language Processing investigates in vast detail the deep learning for machine translations, speech-to-text, text-to-speech, language modeling, question answering, and many more NLP domains with transformers.The book takes you through NLP with Python and examines various eminent models and datasets within the transformer architecture created by pioneers such as Google, Facebook, Microsoft, OpenAI, and Hugging Face.The book trains you in three stages. The first stage introduces you to transformer architectures, starting with the original transformer, before moving on to RoBERTa, BERT, and DistilBERT models. You will discover training methods for smaller transformers that can outperform GPT-3 in some cases. In the second stage, you will apply transformers for Natural Language Understanding (NLU) and Natural Language Generation (NLG). Finally, the third stage will help you grasp advanced language understanding techniques such as optimizing social network datasets and fake news identification.By the end of this NLP book, you will understand transformers from a cognitive science perspective and be proficient in applying pretrained transformer models by tech giants to various datasets.

Zostań supermistrzem w krainie łamigłówek! >>Posłuchaj wywiadu Krystiana Hanke (Projekt Tatowanie / Radio 357) z Pauliną Mechło Rozwój intelektu u dziecka nie jest procesem ani ciągłym, ani jednolitym. Każdy rodzic wie, że kolejne umiejętności, zdolność do analizy i syntezy oraz do wyciągania właściwych wniosków w różnych sytuacjach życiowych przychodzą nagle, prawie jak olśnienie. Nie można jednak liczyć na żaden skok w tej dziedzinie, jeśli młody mózg pozbawiony jest pożywki intelektualnej, wielorakiej stymulacji i wyzwań. Dlatego właśnie szczególnie dzieci — choć oczywiście nie tylko one — powinny mieć stały dostęp do zagadek, łamigłówek, ćwiczeń i zadań pobudzających neurony oraz łączących proces myślenia z koordynacją ruchową, a do tego wciągających i ciekawych. Takie zadania można znaleźć w tej książce! Jej autorki wiedzą, jak pobudzić różne obszary mózgu dziecka, zapewnić mu świetną zabawę i odpowiednią dawkę wysiłku umysłowego. Ćwicz z dzieckiem myślenie! Dla młodych zagadkowiczów! Jeśli chcesz poprawić swoją pamięć, żeby szybciej uczyć się do klasówek, zwiększyć umiejętność kojarzenia faktów, łatwiej ogarniać nowe wiadomości i w ogóle lepiej myśleć, te zadania pomogą Ci osiągnąć cel! Nie są trudne, są za to ciekawe i zabawne! Będziesz łączyć sylaby, wymyślać nazwy, rysować jabłka i szukać wzorów w różnych kombinacjach rysunków. Zobacz, jak łatwo zostać mistrzem!
