Adversarial

And now for something completely different . . .

McFadden on Lehrer

"With Mr. Lehrer reporting from Washington and Mr. MacNeil
from New York, the program sought to represent all sides of
a controversy by eliciting comments from rivals for public
attention. But the anchors deliberately drew no sweeping
conclusions of their own about disputed matters, allowing
viewers to decide for themselves what to believe.

The approach had its drawbacks. An extended presentation
of authoritative voices offering conflicting viewpoints left
some viewers dissatisfied, if not confused. Many found the
technique elitist and dull, and even some critics called it
boring — or, worse, a willful refusal by Mr. Lehrer and Mr.
MacNeil to make hard judgments about adversarial issues
affecting the public interest."

Obit et Orbit.

In memoriam

"Doug co-founded the Secure Machine Learning research group
in 2004, focused on defining how adversaries can influence and
manipulate machine learning algorithms and how to make them
robust against such attacks, culminating in a recently published
book, Adversarial Machine Learning , with a colleague and two
former students."

A Very Stable Cornfield

"We show deeper implications of this simple principle,
by establishing a connection with the interplay
of orbits and stabilizers of group actions."
