A Gaussian mechanism with ε = 6 can be less private than one with ε = 8. This points to a problem with how we report privacy guarantees in machine learning. A thread 🧵

This seems to be happening for pretty much everyone outside the EU (plus a few countries with similar legislation). Good example of why strong privacy laws matter.

This looks like a really nice review to demystify the concept of anonymisation of data.

Researchers have studied the genetic diversity of Escherichia coli intestinal bacteria in Pakistan, revealing abundance of antibiotic-resistant strains in the local population. The DNA of the cultures was sequenced using a new deep sequencing method.

We are delighted that so many ambitious startups applied for the first ELSA Open Call! Our five winners have now been announced: @Algomocom, @OASYSNOW, @OttCT, QuantPi and @Sarus_tech will receive funding and work with ELSA on secure AI applications. elsa-ai.eu/winners-call

🎉Exciting news! The 3rd @satml_conf will be held in Copenhagen 🇩🇰 from April 9-11, 2025. We’re thrilled to have @AmartyaSanyal as our General Chair.
📢 More info on the SaTML website: satml.org
Stay tuned for updates on our Call for Papers and Competitions.
Not being able to bid for papers at @NeurIPSConf as an AC means transforming an opportunity to read very interesting papers to managing review of marginally interesting papers. Likely not the best strategy for getting ACs to put an effort into getting a high-quality programme.

Antti Honkela @ahonkela puhui uuden professorin juhlaluennollaan tekoälystä ja sen tietosuojahaasteista. Tekoäly ei saisi paljastaa käyttäjilleen yksityiskohtia siitä aineistosta, jolla se on koulutettu.
