The book also supplies a preview of technologies currently under development and describes how they will fit in to existing approaches to knowledge discovery.



Provides Proactive Formulas for Staying One Step Ahead of Adversaries





 



While all knowledge-discovery systems are susceptible to manipulation, designers and users of algorithmic systems who are armed with the knowledge of these subversive tactics are better able to create systems to avoid these vulnerabilities. This book delineates an effective process for integrating knowledge-discovery tools, provides a unique understanding of the limits of the technology, and contains a clear presentation of the upsides and pitfalls of data collection. It is a powerful weapon in the arsenal of anyone confronting the increasingly sophistic
