The Popularity Contests of "Love Island"

The New Yorker

Most romantic reality TV would have us believe that dating is about getting married, or simply being chosen. In romance, Tolstoy's aphorism about the family is reversed. All unhappy couples are alike, and all happy couples are happy in their own way. Happiness in a couple is a private and fathomless world, a far cry from the mere shared sensibility of the happy family; we can only make fun of the impish, impenetrable languages of other couples, which exclude us. Yet we all know what it is to be unhappy in love.


The 'perfect' Love Island contestants, according to AI - so are they YOUR type on paper?

Daily Mail - Science & tech

The moment that Love Island fans have been waiting for is almost finally here, with Season 10 finally kicking off on Monday. To celebrate the imminent launch, a man has used AI to create the'perfect' Love Island contestants. Duncan Thomsen, 53, a freelance film editor from Brighton, trawled back through all previous nine series to see which couples have won the show so far. Then, using AI, he mashed photos of the winners together to make generic islanders, solely based on their looks. So, are his creations your type on paper?


String to Datetime

#artificialintelligence

Today, I will show you how to take a string and convert it to DateTime so that your artificial intelligence models can probably understand the column.So sit back, relax with your favorite snack and let's get started! Welcome to another excellent tutorial, where today I will be showing you all this fantastic dataset. I believe this dataset is incredible due to two of the columns. These two columns have two different types of potential date-time columns. Making these necessary corrections will seem intimidating at first, but don't worry.


Disparate Vulnerability: on the Unfairness of Privacy Attacks Against Machine Learning

arXiv.org Machine Learning

A membership inference attack (MIA) against a machine learning model enables an attacker to determine whether a given data record was part of the model's training dataset or not. Such attacks have been shown to be practical both in centralized and federated settings, and pose a threat in many privacy-sensitive domains such as medicine or law enforcement. In the literature, the effectiveness of these attacks is invariably reported using metrics computed across the whole population. In this paper, we take a closer look at the attack's performance across different subgroups present in the data distributions. We introduce a framework that enables us to efficiently analyze the vulnerability of machine learning models to MIA. We discover that even if the accuracy of MIA looks no better than random guessing over the whole population, subgroups are subject to disparate vulnerability, i.e., certain subgroups can be significantly more vulnerable than others. We provide a theoretical definition for MIA vulnerability which we validate empirically both on synthetic and real data.


Technical report of "Empirical Study on Human Evaluation of Complex Argumentation Frameworks"

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

In abstract argumentation, multiple argumentation semantics have been proposed that allow to select sets of jointly acceptable arguments from a given argumentation framework, i.e. based only on the attack relation between arguments. The existence of multiple argumentation semantics raises the question which of these semantics predicts best how humans evaluate arguments. Previous empirical cognitive studies that have tested how humans evaluate sets of arguments depending on the attack relation between them have been limited to a small set of very simple argumentation frameworks, so that some semantics studied in the literature could not be meaningfully distinguished by these studies. In this paper we report on an empirical cognitive study that overcomes these limitations by taking into consideration twelve argumentation frameworks of three to eight arguments each. These argumentation frameworks were mostly more complex than the argumentation frameworks considered in previous studies. All twelve argumentation framework were systematically instantiated with natural language arguments based on a certain fictional scenario, and participants were shown both the natural language arguments and a graphical depiction of the attack relation between them. Our data shows that grounded and CF2 semantics were the best predictors of human argument evaluation. A detailed analysis revealed that part of the participants chose a cognitively simpler strategy that is predicted very well by grounded semantics, while another part of the participants chose a cognitively more demanding strategy that is mostly predicted well by CF2 semantics.


5 Languages That Could Change the Way You See the World - Facts So Romantic

Nautilus

I went to my neighbor's house for something to eat yesterday. It's pretty simple--English speakers would know precisely what it means. But what does it actually tell you--or, more to the point, what does it not tell you? It doesn't specify facts like the subject's gender or the neighbor's, or what direction the speaker traveled, or the nature of the neighbors' relationship, or whether the food was just a cookie or a complex curry. English doesn't require speakers to give any of that information, but if the sentence were in French, say, the gender of every person involved would be specified.
