Machine Learning for Computer Security

Good and bad times with machine learning and security research

My Thesis as a Paperback.

It may sound a little odd, but when I submitted my thesis to the library of my university, I was missing something. Back then, all I had to do was to send in some PDF file and fill out some form. Had the outcome of several months of hard work been yet another PDF document?

Recently, I started to alleviate this strange pain by publishing my thesis as a print-on-demand book at lulu.com. The process is pretty straightforward and, given that most of us work with latex, took only a couple of hours to adapt the sources. Needless to say, that I felt much better, once I held the first paperback version of the thesis in my hands. And, if you are truly interested in reading this work, you can also grab a paperback copy for only 9.99€.

Of course, if you aim for true scientific glory, it might be more appropriate to hunt for a renowned publisher, convince the editors, struggle with presentation and content requirements and finally receive a real book at about 99€.
