This document provides an overview of neural networks. It defines a neural network as an artificial neural network that is similar to the human brain. The key components of a neural network are input units, output units, and hidden units that are fully interconnected. Neural networks learn through a process called backpropagation, where the network is fed many input-output examples to learn relationships between inputs and outputs. Examples of applications that use neural networks include handwriting recognition, voice recognition, spam detection, and radar scanning systems.

Diving Into Scala Cats - Semigroups and MonoidsKnoldus Inc.
Scala is one of the most commercially used successful programming languages in which functional programming is not only possible, but it is actively supported by language features, popular libraries, and many prominent advocates of functional programming.
In this webinar we look at one of the popular libraries of Scala - Cats Library. Cats contains a wide variety of functional programming tools and allows developers to pick the required ones. The majority of these tools are delivered in the form of type classes that we can apply to existing Scala types. It provides abstractions for functional programming in the Scala programming language.
New to Cats? No worries, Watch and explore in this webinar how amazing Cats and how to use Cats library for writing a more functional code in Scala.
ZIO is a highly concurrent framework powered by fibers that are lightweight virtual threads. They also enable tremendous scalability compared to threads.
Functors allow operating on values inside containers without knowing the container implementation. A Functor has a map operation that transforms the values. Functor laws require identity and composition to work as expected. Common Functors include List, Option, Future. The Functor type class provides a generic map. Syntax allows adding map to custom types using implicit classes.
In this session, we would like to show you a different view of collections in Scala. Generally, collections are considered to be storing objects but here we will discuss a functional view for collections.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

What are Semigroups?
03 Limitations of Semigroups
04 What are Monoids
Associativity law of Semigroups
02
01
05 Identity law of Monoids
4.
5. ● A concept which encapsulates aggregation with associative binary
operation.
● Comes with method combine which combines two values of same data
type following the principle of associativity.
What are Semigroups?
9. Associativity is the only law for Semigroups
Associativity allows us to partition the data any way we want and
potentially parallelize the operations.
16. Limitation of Semigroups
We cannot write a generic method combineAll(collection: Seq[A]): [A] for
the above expression.
Because the fallback value will depend on the type of A
(”” for String, 0 for Int, etc).
17.
18. ● Extends Semigroup and adds a default or fallback value for given type.
● Inherits combine method of Semigroups and comes with new method
empty which performs identity operation.
What are Monoids?
19.
20. Why Monoids?
While using Semigroups with Scala’s fold() to operator on collection of
values, we cannot write a generic method combineAll(collection: Seq[A]):
[A] because fallback value will depend on the type of Semigroup.
24. Why “identity” or “empty” ?
Empty string passed in combineStrings method is known as identity of
empty value.
25.
26. Monoids follow Associativity and Identity Laws
combine operation has to be associative and empty value should be an
identity for the combine operation:
