The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in data-driven medicine has revolutionized healthcare, presenting practitioners with unprecedented tools for diagnosis and personalized therapy. However, this progress comes with a critical concern: the security and privacy of sensitive patient data. As healthcare increasingly leans on AI, the need for robust solutions to safeguard patient information has become more pressing than ever. Federated Learning and Privacy-Preserving in Healthcare AI emerges as the definitive solution to balancing medical progress with patient data security. This carefully curated volume not only outlines the challenges of federated learning but also provides a roadmap for implementing privacy-preserving AI systems in healthcare. By decentralizing the training of AI models, federated learning mitigates the risks associated with centralizing patient data, ensuring that critical information never leaves its original location. Aimed at healthcare professionals, AI experts, policymakers, and academics, this book not only delves into the technical aspects of federated learning but also fosters a collaborative approach to address the multifaceted challenges at the intersection of healthcare and AI.

Humans have the most advanced method of communication, which is known as natural language. While humans can use computers to send voice and text messages to each other, computers do not innately know how to process natural language. In recent years, deep learning has primarily transformed the perspectives of a variety of fields in artificial intelligence (AI), including speech, vision, and natural language processing (NLP). The extensive success of deep learning in a wide variety of applications has served as a benchmark for the many downstream tasks in AI. The field of computer vision has taken great leaps in recent years and surpassed humans in tasks related to detecting and labeling objects thanks to advances in deep learning and neural networks. Deep Learning Research Applications for Natural Language Processing explains the concepts and state-of-the-art research in the fields of NLP, speech, and computer vision. It provides insights into using the tools and libraries in Python for real-world applications. Covering topics such as deep learning algorithms, neural networks, and advanced prediction, this premier reference source is an excellent resource for computational linguists, software engineers, IT managers, computer scientists, students and faculty of higher education, libraries, researchers, and academicians.

The two volume set LNCS 14958 + 14959 constitutes the proceedings of the 15th International Conference of the CLEF Association, CLEF 2024, held in Grenoble, France, during September 9–12, 2024. The proceedings contain 11 conference papers; 6 best of CLEF 2023 Labs' papers, and 14 Lab overview papers accepted from 45 submissions. In addition an overview paper on the CLEF activities in the last 25 years is included. The CLEF conference and labs of the evaluation forum deal with topics in information access from different perspectives, in any modality and language, focusing on experimental information retrieval (IR). .
