Military Drones Now Common to Nearly 100 Nations, Report Finds
A study by researchers at Bard College's Center for the Study of the Drone found that at least 95 countries currently own unmanned military drones. A report by researchers at Bard College's Center for the Study of the Drone estimated that 95 countries currently own unmanned military drones--up from 60 in 2010--and the infrastructure to support their operation also is expanding. Bard's Dan Gettinger said drones "are featuring more prominently in world affairs, as we've seen most recently in the Saudi drone attacks." The report found the U.S. monopoly on long-distance military drones is eroding, with at least 10 nations, including Azerbaijan and Nigeria, using drones to launch strikes. Fifteen countries have training academies for drone operators, according to the report.
How AI will transform healthcare (and can it fix the US healthcare system?) - KDnuggets
For those who are new to AI, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning, I recommend taking a look at the following article entitled "An Introduction to AI." I will refer to Machine Learning and Deep Learning as being subsets of AI. Furthermore, this article is non-exhaustive in relation to potential applications of AI to healthcare and Quantum Computing to various sectors of the economy. The reason for the focus on AI in healthcare is in light of recent articles by a few senior medical practitioners in the US expressing concern about the role of AI in healthcare. Some of the concerns expressed, such as the need for improved sharing of data by healthcare participants including hospitals and ensuring the highest quality in the preparation of data, are entirely valid and I take the view that the need for access to data and sharing of data by hospitals may need to become a matter of political and regulatory concern.
A Matrix Factorization Model for Hellinger-based Trust Management in Social Internet of Things
Aalibagi, Soroush, Mahyar, Hamidreza, Movaghar, Ali, Stanley, H. Eugene
The Social Internet of Things (SIoT), integration of Internet of Things and Social networks paradigms, has been introduced to build a network of smart nodes which are capable of establishing social links. In order to deal with misbehavioral service provider nodes, service requestor nodes must evaluate their trustworthiness levels. In this paper, we propose a novel trust management mechanism in the SIoT to predict the most reliable service provider for a service requestor, that leads to reduce the risk of exposing to malicious nodes. We model an SIoT with a flexible bipartite graph (containing two sets of nodes: service providers and requestors), then build the corresponding social network among service requestor nodes, using Hellinger distance. After that, we develop a social trust model, by using nodes' centrality and similarity measures, to extract behavioral trust between the network nodes. Finally, a matrix factorization technique is designed to extract latent features of SIoT nodes to mitigate the data sparsity and cold start problems. We analyze the effect of parameters in the proposed trust prediction mechanism on prediction accuracy. The results indicate that feedbacks from the neighboring nodes of a specific service requestor with high Hellinger similarity in our mechanism outperforms the best existing methods. We also show that utilizing social trust model, which only considers the similarity measure, significantly improves the accuracy of the prediction mechanism. Furthermore, we evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed trust management system through a real-world SIoT application. Our results demonstrate that the proposed mechanism is resilient to different types of network attacks and it can accurately find the proper service provider with high trustworthiness.
Why Red Means Red in Almost Every Language - Issue 76: Language
When Paul Kay, then an anthropology graduate student at Harvard University, arrived in Tahiti in 1959 to study island life, he expected to have a hard time learning the local words for colors. His field had long espoused a theory called linguistic relativity, which held that language shapes perception. Color was the "parade example," Kay says. His professors and textbooks taught that people could only recognize a color as categorically distinct from others if they had a word for it. If you knew only three color words, a rainbow would have only three stripes.
US reopens embassy in Somalia after 28 years
Suicide car bomber attacks military airstrip used for U.S. drone mission; reaction and analysis from retired four-star Gen. Jack Keane, Fox News senior strategic analyst. The United States Embassy in Mogadishu, Somalia, has reopened after being closed for 28 years, officials said Wednesday. "The reestablishment of Embassy Mogadishu is another step forward in the resumption of regular U.S.-Somali relations, symbolizing the strengthening of U.S.-Somalia relations and advancement of stability, development and peace for Somalia and the region," the embassy said in a statement. The embassy closed on Jan. 5, 1991, after Somalia became engulfed in a civil war and the regime of Siad Barre was overthrown. The United States reestablished a permanent diplomatic presence in Mogadishu back in December, operated out of Nairobi, Kenya.
Demi Lovato apologizes for 'offending anyone' following 'magical' trip to Israel
Demi Lovato deactivates her Twitter account after getting backlash for mocking 21 Savage following his ICE arrest. Demi Lovato is apologizing after some characterized her recent trip to Israel, during which she was baptized in the Jordan River, as a political statement. Lovato, 27, traveled to the Middle East after she "accepted a free trip to Israel in exchange for a few [social media] posts." But her trip apparently sparked backlash, as the singer saw the need to explain the reasoning for her experience in a follow-up Instagram Story. "I'm extremely frustrated," she wrote. "No one told me there would be anything wrong with going or that I could possibly be offending anyone.
