Social media analytics: What's the buzz? - The Data Scientist
First of all, social media have a huge impact on our lives. With more than 2.5 billion users worldwide, this is not really up for debate. Data extracted from social media is used for all sorts of purposes from building recommender systems for products, to building statistical models that affect voters and elections. Secondly, every field related to data science has its own domain-related peculiarities. For example, econometrics deals a lot with panel data, and transparent statistical model. Natural language processing requires powerful methods for feature selection and cleaning.

Huge Data Leak Doxes Members of Notorious Neo-Nazi Forum
A week ago today, hackers unleashed the first known attack using the vulnerability known as BlueKeep, a long-feared development that in practice turned out to be relatively benign. But don't worry, plenty of other things still went wrong. Like, say, the revelation that you can hack Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri with lasers. Take the two former Twitter employees who allegedly used their insider access to spy on behalf of Saudi Arabia--a stark reminder of how ill prepared even the biggest companies are to protect consumer data from the people who work there. Or the spate of zombie text messages from February that hit people's phones Thursday with no explanation, the result of a third-party server that had failed on February 14 and was reactivated November 7. All the messages stranded in that queue finally got sent.

The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Customer Experience Analytics Insight
We as a whole understand that artificial intelligence is playing an important role in how organizations work. Artificial intelligence projects and services are changing everything from data accumulation and processing in the marketing division to on-boarding in the HR office. While AI and automation hold colossal value as far as time and cost reserve savings internally, there is another area wherein AI guarantees much greater, progressively important returns: client experience. Customer experience is the foundation of digital transformation. Each tech choice we make should come back to this core foundation.
How artificial intelligence and machine learning is changing medicine
When you think of artificial intelligence (AI), you might imagine what you see in the movies: robots, self-driving vehicles, and computers that think and act like humans. You might already be using AI every day when you ask Siri or Alexa for help. AI might be better described as machine learning or deep learning, and it is a fast-growing part of medicine, changing how health care providers treat patients. For example, AI is being used at Mayo Clinic to detect heart disease, treat stroke patients faster and create algorithms for diagnostic radiology. On the next Mayo Clinic Radio program, Dr. Bradley Erickson, a Mayo Clinic diagnostic radiologist, will discuss AI in medicine and society.
A browser bug was enough to hack an Amazon Echo – TechCrunch
Two security researchers have been crowned the top hackers in this year's Pwn2Own hacking contest after developing and testing several high profile exploits, including an attack against an Amazon Echo. Amat Cama and Richard Zhu, who make up Team Fluoroacetate, scored $60,000 in bug bounties for their integer overflow exploit against the latest Amazon Echo Show 5, an Alexa-powered smart display. The researchers found that the device uses an older version of Chromium, Google's open-source browser projects, which had been forked some time during its development. The bug allowed them to take "full control" of the device if connected to a malicious Wi-Fi hotspot, said Brian Gorenc, director of Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative, which put on the Pwn2Own contest. The researchers tested their exploits in a radio-frequency shielding enclosure to prevent any outside interference.
