Netiquette IQ Blog Of 3-4-27 Researchers work on AI algorithms to detect fake news




====================================================






The  following blog is a follow up from yesterday's "Fake News" posting. There is hope for the increasingly large and many times disturbing volume of fake news that we are subjected, particularly from the highest government officials

Fake news has dominated headlines for months, but now, a group of artificial intelligence researchers is trying to do something about it. So how far will they and their AI technology get in solving the problem?
It all starts with Carnegie Mellon University adjunct professor Dean Pomerleau, who recently started the Fake News Challenge. He's offering up to $2,000 to five research teams if they can come up with AI algorithms capable of accurately spotting examples of fake news.
Some of the big players, like Google and Facebook, are also working on the problem, developing AI algorithms in-house to try to clamp down on fraudulent stories.
But researchers are up against some major challenges. Unlike other areas, where AI algorithms are successful, such as image recognition or natural language processing, there are fewer patterns to rely on with fake news. The very nature of the problem makes it resistant to pattern. Therefore, any AI tool developed will need to have a component of judgment, something today's AI isn't quite capable of achieving.
Beyond the problem of fake news, the competition could be a good proving ground for more advanced forms of AI than we currently have today. That is, of course, if researchers are able to develop tools that function significantly better than what we see currently.
Listen to this podcast to learn more about some of the challenges and opportunities researchers will face as they look to tackle the problem of fake news, and how their successes or failures could say a lot about the state of AI today.

Netiquette IQ Blog And Term Of The Day - Fake News - A Must Read


Buy the books at

 www.amazon.com/author/paulbabicki
====================================================







One of most repeated catch term of our current political landscape is Fake News. It is attributed to President Trump and has now gone beyond America's borders to places from Europe to China. It is now becoming overused. It is useful for all to have an accurate definition so below you have one!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
from www.whatis.com

Fake News
Fake news is an inaccurate, sometimes sensationalistic report that is created to gain attention, mislead, deceive or damage a reputation. Unlike misinformation, which is inaccurate because a reporter has confused facts, fake news is created with the intent to manipulate someone or something. Fake news can spread quickly when it provides disinformation that is aligned with the audience's point of view because such content is not likely to be questioned or discounted.


In recent years, the internet has provided a low-cost distribution channel for fake news. Posting fake news in discussion forums, website comment fields, blogs and social media websites requires little, if any, technical know-how. Social media websites in particular have proved to be an easy venue for distributing fake news. Bogus stories can be tweeted or posted from a mobile smartphone and quickly distributed to a large audience through retweets and sharing.

Although some creators and distributors of fake news have political or social agendas, others are more entrepreneurial, using fake news that appeals to recipients on an emotional level to make money from digital advertising placed around the content. When fake news is used to spread propaganda, it can be dangerous. In addition to shaping public opinion and behavior, it can also cause mistrust, encourage dissent and deflect attention from real news.

In response to criticism about failing to curb the distribution of fake news during the 2016 presidential election in the United States, Facebook and Google have taken steps to crack down on disinformation. They have formed a coalition called First Draft and are working with major media outlets to educate Internet users about how to spot fake news. They are also working with third parties to create independent fact-checking websites and are exploring ways to identify and label news stories that can not be verified, much like the way Wikipedia editors label entries they feel should be questioned. 

On the internet, news that is created with the intent to deceive often has poor grammar and misspelled words; it may use racial language or have an excessive number of capital letters and exclamation points. To verify the accuracy of a news story, it can be useful to query a search engine in order to confirm that legitimate, traditional news sources are also covering the story; fake news stories often have only one source. Another strategy for identifying fake news is to check the host site's domain name and URL. Often, fake news will appear to have a legitimate-sounding domain name, but will have a URL that ends in .com.co or another unusual suffix. 

Unlike other areas where machine learning algorithms have been used successful, such as image recognition or natural language processing, there are fewer patterns to rely on with fake news. AI tool developed will need to have a component of judgment, something today's AI isn't quite capable of achieving.

Netiquette IQ Tecnical Term Of The Day - The "Peter Principal" - Do you Know What It Is?











from: whatis.com
Peter Principle
The Peter principle is an observation about a commonly-seen pattern in hierarchical corporate cultures in which employees are promoted based on current performance rather than aptitude for the roles they are being considered for.
According to the Peter principle, employees continue to be promoted as long as they perform well in their roles; as a result, they rise to their level of incompetence: the point at which they fail to do a good job. That pattern negatively impacts employee productivity and corporate performance because it tends to mean that people end up in positions where they are incapable of doing a good job and that, furthermore, they tend to stay in those positions because -- since they aren't performing well -- they are not promoted. Eventually, as the Peter principle plays out, all positions in an organization could be held by individuals who are incapable of fulfilling their roles.
Laurence J. Peter first formulated and named the phenomenon in 1969, in a satirical book "The Peter Principle," where he stated that "In a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence ... in time every post tends to be occupied by an employee who is incompetent to carry out its duties ... Work is accomplished by those employees who have not yet reached their level of incompetence."
Peter called the tendency to "kick employees upstairs" (promote them to management positions) percussive sublimation and suggested it was a method used to keep them from hampering more productive workers. Percussive sublimation, in turn, is related to the Dilbert principle, which maintains that the real purpose of the hierarchy is to provide managerial roles that will minimize the ability of those employees to interfere with the actual work being accomplished by more productive staff members.

Gigamon Visibility for AWS

With the rapid evolution of the public cloud that brings instant advantages of economies of scale, elasticity and agility, IT and data center administrators are re-evaluating their investments to deploy or scale applications on-premise.  They either deploy new applications in the public cloud or use the public cloud for additional needs to augment the on-premise private cloud.  In either case, what enterprises end up with is a hybrid cloud environment.  Other enterprises start in the cloud with no physical data center footprint, commonly referred to as a born-in-the-cloud model.  Unlike SaaS environments, in which application ownership and security of information is the responsibility of the SaaS provider, an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), or public cloud environment, places the responsibility of application and information security on the enterprise.
So, how does an enterprise which has migrated or deployed workloads into the public cloud manage, secure and understand its data traversing the public cloud?
