Interesting article on deepfakes used for social engineering attacks. e.g. fake videos of a manager asking you to send a payment or (yikes!) fakes of someone holding loved ones for ransom. Plus some ideas on how to protect from these attacks. scmagazine.com/analysis/blac…

Very interesting case studies of how ML systems can be attacked github.com/mitre/advmlthreat…
Then you can do adversarial attacks against your replica — and those attacks often work on the original model!
great summary of how the "parked domain" business model works and risks that it presents to internet users whoisxmlapi.com/blog/domain-…

key insight #MultitaskLearning: "Often features become available after predictions are made. These features cant be used as inputs as they aren't available at runtime. But they can be collected and used as tasks to provide extra info during training."

I like the framing by @SnorkelAI about the need to also focus on narrow slices of application/domain specific data, not just the coarse-grained overall metrics. snorkel.org/blog/slicing
Leaders that use humor (but nothing offensive!) are "23% more respected, and seen as more competent...Employees that have bosses that use humor are 15% more satisfied and engaged." And it doesn't even need to be that funny, it's the attempt that matters.
Can humor help you out in the workplace? Today on the show, we ask @aaker and @nbagdonas about their new book Humor, Seriously. If you listen to the episode, I'll even throw in my pet frog! npr.org/2021/02/08/965572857…
Excellent introduction to #serverless computing -- covers the basics and some interesting aspects to building a well-functioning serverless application and infrastructure.

"The goal of this tutorial paper is to motivate and give a comprehensive introduction to knowledge graphs" arxiv.org/abs/2003.02320 #KnowledgeGraphs
"Modeling data as a graph in this way offers more flexibility for integrating new sources of data, compared to the standard relational model, where a schema must be defined upfront and followed at each step." A big plus when dealing with the reality/variety of data+sources!
