[rede.APPIA] UNESCO recommendations on Ethics of AI

FYI

Acho que ficou um bom documento, nomeadamente porque refere amiúde as diferenças de riqueza entre países e entre pessoas que a IA fará aumentar.

Foi uma semana de discussão bem interessante, 6 horas por dia de zoom.

Abraços

[rede.APPIA] 15 Sócios da APPIA entre os cientistas mais influentes do mundo, de acordo com estudo de Stanford

Estudo da Universidade de Stanford, divulgado no final de 2020, lista 15 sócios da APPIA entre os cientistas mais influentes do mundo
Em Outubro de 2020, foi publicado na revista PLOS Biology um artigo da autoria dos investigadores John Ioannidis, Kevin Boyack e Jeroen Baas, da Universidade de Stanford, no qual é realizada uma análise de métricas de citação padronizadas através das quais são identificados os 2% de autores/investigadores mais citados nas respectivas área de investigação, e que inclui 15 Sócios da APPIA.

O artigo, intitulado “Updated science-wide author databases of standardized citation indicators”, descreve a metodologia usada para processar o histórico de citações na plataforma Scopus desde os anos 90 do século XX até 2019, e através delas avaliar a influência/ impacto dos investigadores e instituições analisados.

Juntamente com o artigo, são disponibilizadas duas listas de cerca de 160,000 cientistas de 149 países e 22 áreas científicas distintas, uma medindo o impacto ao longo da carreira, e outra medindo o impacto no ano de 2019 apenas. Na lista de investigadores mais influentes ao longo da sua carreira podemos encontrar referências a diversos sócios da APPIA, nomeadamente:

  • Ana Paiva, Instituto Superior Técnico (sócia APPIA n. 164)

[rede.APPIA] CRS21 – Champalimaud Research Symposium – Call for Abstracts

 

13.10.2021 – 15.10.2021

 

2021 Champalimaud Research Symposium
Dialogues on Neural and Machine Intelligence

 

Dear colleague,

For the first time in the history of CRS, we are organising a hybrid edition giving delegates the option to attend and present their work either in-person or online, with different registration fees. The registration period will open on August 1 for both in-person and online attendance.

It is our pleasure to invite you to submit your abstract to the 2021 Champalimaud Research Symposium (CRS21), which will focus on the interface of neuroscience, artificial intelligence and machine learning. Researchers and students are invited to submit their work to the CRS21 until July 23.

To submit your abstract, please pre-register and follow the instructions provided (no payment required). Abstracts will undergo scientific approval to ensure consistency with the theme of the symposium. A limited number of abstracts will be selected for short talks and the remaining abstracts will be invited for poster presentation. Authors will be notified of the results on August 27.

The event is being organised at the Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown, in a stunning location on the waterfront of Lisbon. Online access to the event will be via a designated platform. If required by pandemic regulations, the organisers are prepared to adopt a contingency plan for the symposium to become fully virtual.

At this stage, we would like to reassure all participants planning to attend in-person, that the organisation will include testing facilities, should there be any need for COVID-19 testing, either for travel purposes or at any point during your attendance. Also, the registration process will be as flexible as possible in order for you to adjust your method of attendance to what is practical and safe, with corresponding adjustment of the fees.

Finally, we would also like to inform you that a limited number of travel grants will be available for those attending in-person. Further details can be found here.

If you have any questions at this stage, please do not hesitate to contact symposium@research.fchampalimaud.org

We hope to see you in October!

With best wishes,

Joe Paton & Leopoldo Petreanu, Champalimaud Research
Jakob Macke, University of Tübingen
Chairs of the 2021 Champalimaud Research Symposium

[rede.APPIA] Data Science and Statistics Webinar – 29 June – Detection of Internet Traffic Redirection Attacks using Histogram PCA

DaSSWeb – Data Science and Statistics Webinar
Tuesday 29 June, 14:30
Speaker: M. Rosário Oliveira CEMAT and Mathematics Department, Instituto Superior Técnico, Univ. Lisboa
Title: Detection of Internet Traffic Redirection Attacks using Histogram Principal Component Analysis
Zoom link: videoconf-colibri.zoom.us/j/87373848710
Abstract: Internet security is a major concern for users and Internet Service Providers, since successful attacks can produce substantial damage. Illicit Internet traffic redirection cause man-in-the-middle attacks, in which a malicious agent secretly intercepts the traffic between two hosts connected to the Internet. The attack may be aimed at gaining access to sensitive information from the victim, monitoring its online activity, causing network delay, among other motivations.
To identify traffic redirection attacks we had access to measurements obtained from a worldwide distributed probing platform, designed to detect routing variations based on round-trip-times (RTT) deviations inferred from multiple and disperse geographic locations. At each timestamp, various measurements are collected and summarized by histograms. We propose anomaly detection methods based on histogram principal component analysis. To do so, we discuss how to define a weighted sum of histogram-valued data and how to use the projected data on the first histogram principal component to successfully detect traffic redirections attacks.
This is a joint work with Ana Subtil, Eduardo Mendes, and Lina Oliveira.
