商品描述
Searching for a needle in a haystack is an important task in several contexts of data analysis and decision-making. Examples include identifying the insider threat within an organization, the prediction of failure in industrial production, or pinpointing the unique signature of a solo perpetrator, such as a school shooter or a lone wolf terrorist. It is a challenge different from that of identifying a rare event (e.g., a tsunami) or detecting anomalies because the needle is not easily distinguished from the haystack. This challenging context is imbued with particular difficulties, from the lack of sufficient data to train a machine learning model through the identification of the relevant features and up to the painful price of false alarms, which might cause us to question the relevance of machine learning solutions even if they perform well according to common performance criteria. In this book, Prof. Neuman approaches the problem of finding the needle by specifically focusing on the human factor, from solo perpetrators to insider threats. Providing for the first time a deep, critical, multidimensional, and methodological analysis of the challenge, the book offers data scientists and decision makers a deep scientific foundational approach combined with a pragmatic practical approach that may guide them in searching for a needle in a haystack.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
在數據分析和決策制定的多個情境中，尋找大海撈針是一項重要的任務。例子包括識別組織內部的威脅、預測工業生產中的故障，或是精確定位獨行犯的獨特特徵，例如校園槍手或孤狼恐怖分子。這是一個不同於識別稀有事件（例如海嘯）或檢測異常的挑戰，因為針在乾草堆中不易被區分。這一挑戰性情境充滿了特定的困難，從缺乏足夠的數據來訓練機器學習模型，到識別相關特徵，再到虛假警報所帶來的痛苦代價，這可能使我們質疑機器學習解決方案的相關性，即使它們在常見的性能標準下表現良好。在本書中，Neuman教授專注於人為因素來解決尋找針的問題，從獨行犯到內部威脅。這本書首次提供了對這一挑戰的深入、批判性、多維度和方法論的分析，為數據科學家和決策者提供了一種深厚的科學基礎方法，結合了務實的實踐方法，可能指導他們在大海撈針的過程中。
