A Word is Worth A Thousand Dollars: Adversarial Attack on Tweets Fools Stock Predictions

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

More and more investors and machine learning models rely on social media (e.g., Twitter and Reddit) to gather real-time information and sentiment to predict stock price movements. Although text-based models are known to be vulnerable to adversarial attacks, whether stock prediction models have similar vulnerability is underexplored. In this paper, we experiment with a variety of adversarial attack configurations to fool three stock prediction victim models. We address the task of adversarial generation by solving combinatorial optimization problems with semantics and budget constraints. Our results show that the proposed attack method can achieve consistent success rates and cause significant monetary loss in trading simulation by simply concatenating a Figure 1: An example of word-replacement adversarial perturbed but semantically similar tweet.


Iran To Supply Russians With UAVs For Ukraine: White House

International Business Times

Iran is planning to supply hundreds of drones with combat weapon capabilities to Russia for use in Ukraine, a top US official said Monday. Jake Sullivan, the White House national security advisor, said the information received by the United States supported views that the Russian military is facing challenges sustaining its weaponry after significant losses in Ukraine. "The Iranian government is preparing to provide Russia with up to several hundred UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles), including weapons-capable UAVs, on an expedited timeline," Sullivan told reporters. "Our information further indicates that Iran is preparing to train Russian forces to use these UAVs, with initial training sessions slated to begin as soon as early July," he said. Sullivan said it was not clear whether Iran had delivered any of the drones to Russia yet.


India Must Be Ready To Face Upheaval Due To Artificial Intelligence: Rajnath Singh

#artificialintelligence

He noted that AI's ethics and dangers must be properly thought out. India needs to work on the artificial intelligence mechanism "extremely carefully" and it must be ready to face a legal, ethical, political, and economic upheaval that may follow due to this technology, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Monday. "We have to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) for humanity's progress and peace. It should not be the case that a country or a group of countries establish their dominance on this technology -- just like nuclear power -- and the remaining countries are not able to enjoy the fruits of this technology," he mentioned. Mr Singh was speaking after inaugurating an event titled'AIDef (Artificial Intelligence in Defence)' here.


3 Ways how AI is shaping our future

#artificialintelligence

In 2017 president Putin discussed the importance of AI in the future while speaking with students. He said, "Whichever nation will lead in AI will be the ruler of the world." Further, he discussed that the future of humanity is in AI, which comes with advantages and threats. AI is now gradually becoming a part of our lives, whether we notice it or not. According to Statista, the global revenue for AI has reached 327.5 billion USD, and companies are investing dozens of billions into the AI sector.


Opinion

#artificialintelligence

The question has arisen with escalating frequency in recent years, a sort of journalistic thought bubble emerging from the collective consciousness of writers. Will artificial intelligence (AI) save humanity, or supplant us? On the one hand, we are told that AI holds the potential to solve some of the world's biggest problems -- challenges like poverty, food insecurity, inequality and climate change. On the other hand, some very smart people have issued warnings. Stephen Hawking said the technology could "spell the end of the human race."

Plans for the future of cutting-edge UK Artificial Intelligence (AI) defence technology have been unveiled in a new strategy published today at London Tech Week AI Summit. The strategy and accompanying policy on the'Ambitious, Safe and Responsible' use of AI underpin a new Defence AI Centre (DAIC), which will offer a visionary hub to champion, enable and innovate these technologies across the UK Armed Forces with pace and ambition. In the face of ever-evolving threats to global security, the Defence AI Strategy outlines how the UK will prioritise research, development, and experimentation to revolutionise our Armed Forces capabilities through new concepts and cutting-edge technology to deliver the latest equipment to the battlefield through effective, efficient, trusted pathways. Concepts include AI-enabled autonomous combat vehicles and resupply systems to deliver supplies without putting people in danger, or soldiers on the front-line guided by smart systems drawing on hours of detailed footage captured by a series of small drones. We also publish today our policy on the'Ambitious, Safe and Responsible' use of AI, developed through partnership with the Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation (CDEI), including new ethical principles for the use of AI in Defence.


Rage Against the Machine rails against Roe v. Wade decision in return to the stage: 'abort the Supreme Court'

FOX News

Fox News Flash top headlines are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com. Alternative rock band Rage Against the Machine returned to the stage for their first performance in 11 years and did not mince words when expressing their anger about the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. During a show Saturday at Alpine Valley Music Theatre in Wisconsin, the band broadcasted several captions on a screen on stage blasting the high court over its decision to reverse the 1973 ruling on abortion rights โ€“ with one caption going as far as to suggest an elimination of the court, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. In addition to speaking out in favor of abortion rights, the captions touched on a number of other hot-button issues, including a reference to women as "birth-givers" and highlighting the rate of child gun violence victims.


Quantum Computing's Time is Coming - Quantum Computing Report

#artificialintelligence

This piece provides an overview of the current status of quantum computing for those just starting to look at the field. For those interested in learning more, we recommend viewing the video of a recent panel session from the recent HPE Discover 2022 event in Las Vegas, Nevada. Besides myself, other members of the panel included Kirk Bresniker, HPE Fellow, VP and Chief Architect, Hewlett Packard Labs, Yehuda Naveh, co-founder and CTO of Classiq, and Dr. Shini Somara, moderator and TV technology journalist. So, is quantum computing ready to take off and disrupt industries as we know them? As an analyst and publisher about all things quantum, I hear variations of this question every day. My response is to fall back on the decades-old "Amara's Law," which states that: "We tend to overestimate the effect of a technology in the short run and underestimate the effect in the long run."


Artificial Intelligence-based smartphone app for characterizing stool form

#artificialintelligence

In a recent study published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology, researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in the United States evaluated an artificial intelligence (AI)-based smartphone application (app) trained to assess a patient's stool characteristics. Study: A Smartphone Application Using Artificial Intelligence Is Superior To Subject Self-Reporting When Assessing Stool Form. Functional gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, especially luminal ones, require that a patient self-report stool form and frequency. However, since the symptoms of diarrhea common in irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D) patients are subjective, the inability to accurately report or assess stool form and frequency makes it challenging to determine the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions in these conditions. The Bristol Stool Scale (BSS) is the United States Food and Drug Administration (US-FDA) approved 7-point scale that ranks stool consistency from 1 (hard lumps) to 7 (liquid).


Futurist Chronicles: The Fourth Industrial Revolution

#artificialintelligence

We are in or about to enter a Fourth Industrial Revolution and I think that the coincidental occurrence of COVID has accelerated that. To be honest my fascination of the 4th Industrial revolution started from when I first realised all the stocks had plummeted. Naturally this made my curiosity peak watching videos trying to soak as much information as possible down the You tube rabbit hole. Now before COVID the only other time that I can remember the stocks plummeting were from significant events such as the dot com crash of the early 2000's and the financial crisis of 2008. These two events were associated with periods of rapid economic growth due to what I'd say were the 3rd and 4th Industrial Revolutions.
