EFF Teams Up With AV Comparatives to Test Android Stalkerware Detection by Major Antivirus Apps
EFF has, for many years, raised the alarm about the proliferation of stalkerware—commercially-available apps designed to be installed covertly on another person’s device and exfiltrate data from that device without their knowledge. In particular, we have urged the makers of anti-virus products for Android phones to improve their detection of stalkerware and call it out explicitly to users when it is found. In 2020 and 2021, AV Comparatives ran tests to see how well the most popular anti-virus […]

Spectral Community Detection in Clinical Knowledge Graphs
Introduction How do we identify latent groups of patients in a large cohort? How can we find similarities among patients that go beyond the well-known comorbidity clusters associated with specific diseases? And more importantly, how can we extract quantitative signals that can be analyzed, compared, and reused across different clinical scenarios? The information associated to […] The post Spectral Community Detection in Clinical Knowledge Graphs appeared first on Towards Data Science.

New tool makes generative AI models more likely to create breakthrough materials
The artificial intelligence models that turn text into images are also useful for generating new materials. Over the last few years, generative materials models from companies like Google, Microsoft, and Meta have drawn on their training data to help researchers design tens of millions of new materials. But when it comes to designing materials with exotic quantum properties like superconductivity or unique magnetic states, those models struggle. That’s too bad, because humans could use the help. For example, […]

3 Questions: The pros and cons of synthetic data in AI
Synthetic data are artificially generated by algorithms to mimic the statistical properties of actual data, without containing any information from real-world sources. While concrete numbers are hard to pin down, some estimates suggest that more than 60 percent of data used for AI applications in 2024 was synthetic, and this figure is expected to grow across industries. Because synthetic data don’t contain real-world information, they hold the promise of safeguarding privacy while reducing the cost and increasing the […]

A Gaming GPU Helps Crack the Code on a Thousand-Year Cultural Conversation
Ceramics — the humble mix of earth, fire and artistry — have been part of a global conversation for millennia. From Tang Dynasty trade routes to Renaissance palaces, from museum vitrines to high-stakes auction floors, they’ve carried culture across borders, evolving into status symbols, commodities and pieces of contested history. Their value has been shaped by aesthetics and economics, empire and, now, technology. This figure visualizes 20 representative Chinese ceramic craftsmanship styles across seven historical periods, ranging from […]

The Machine Learning “Advent Calendar” Day 6: Decision Tree Regressor
During the first days of this Machine Learning Advent Calendar, we explored models based on distances. Today, we switch to a completely different way of learning: Decision Trees. With a simple one-feature dataset, we can see how a tree chooses its first split. The idea is always the same: if humans can guess the split visually, then we can rebuild the logic step by step in Excel. By listing all possible split values and computing the MSE for […]
