In the second half of the 19th and the first half of the 20th century, nearly one-third of the population of today¿s Slovenia permanently settled in countries around the world. Many more were traveling back and forth, searching for work to ensure the survival of the family members left behind at home and the prosperity for the families and communities they were creating abroad. From one of the smallest nations in Europe, barely reaching one and a half million inhabitants at the time, people departed in numbers reaching 440,000. This book tells their stories, about the "daring dreams of the future," as the Slovenian poet Oton ¿upanc¿ic¿¿whose words open the book¿so beautifully put it. The people who left took recipes for their foods, accordions for their music, and love for their culture and language, which was, and has remained, a linguistic island between Vienna and Venice. In their new communities, they built homes, churches, and cultural institutions that have survived until today.

In many contemporary and emerging applications of machine learning and statistical inference, the phenomena of interest are characterized by variables defined over large alphabets. This increasing size of both the data and the number of inferences, and the limited available training data means there is a need to understand which inference tasks can be most effectively carriedout, and, in turn, what features of the data are most relevant to them. In this monograph, the authors develop the idea of extracting "universally good" features, and establish that diverse notions of such universality lead to precisely the same features. The information-theoretic approach used results in a local information geometric analysis that facilitates their computation in a host of applications. The authors provide a comprehensive treatment that guides the reader through the basic principles to the advanced techniques including many new results. They emphasize a development from first-principles together with common, unifying terminology and notation, and pointers to the rich embodying literature, both historical and contemporary. Written for students and researchers, this monograph is a complete treatise on the information theoretic treatment of a recognized and current problem in machine learning and statistical inference.

This book explores the concept of S-Risks, or suffering risks, and delves into their significance, distinguishing them from conspiracy theories and alarmism. It categorizes S-Risks into agential, natural, and incidental types, discussing the disjunctive nature and various factors influencing them. Examining technological progress, the existence of powerful agents, and unintended consequences, the book addresses societal values, ethical considerations, and specific risks like COVID-19, gain-of-function research, computer hacking, and social media impact. It thoroughly covers AI-related S-Risks, existential risks, misincentives, goal misalignment, adversarial AI, autonomous weapons, economic disruptions, surveillance, and privacy concerns. Additionally, it explores S-Risks associated with climate change, energy, activism, natural disasters, biological engineering, quantum technological outcomes, cosmic phenomena, social and economic experiments, cultural or memetic risks, and global consciousness networks. The book concludes by proposing a classification system for S-Risks and grouping S-Risk profiles.

Black women and girls are underrepresented in the STEM fields. In 2019, only 28% of the STEM workforce was female, and only 3% of that workforce was black. This digital skill gap has several negative consequences, both for black women and girls themselves and for society. Black women and girls are less likely to have access to high-quality education in STEM fields and are more likely to face discrimination and harassment in the workplace. As a result, they are less likely to be hired for STEM jobs, and they are more likely to leave STEM jobs early. The lack of black women in STEM fields has several negative consequences for society. SHE, DISRUPTS is the book that will change the way the industry sees itself.
