Taveras, who played 28 games for Seattle a season ago, was Baltimore's leadoff man in the bottom of the ninth with his club trailing 4-2 at home. In a spot where he could have jump-started a comeback, he instead struck out in what very well could be the most embarrassing fashion possible of the modern era. Sitting on a 2-2 count, Taveras took a pitch well outside and began walking to first base, thinking he had just been walked. He even began taking off his elbow guard before realizing that he had the pitch count wrong.

University of Waterloo researchers have developed new artificial intelligence (AI) technology that can accurately analyze pitcher performance and mechanics using low-resolution video of baseball games. The system, developed for the Baltimore Orioles by the Waterloo team, plugs holes in much more elaborate and expensive technology already installed in most stadiums that host Major League Baseball (MLB), whose teams have increasingly tapped into data analytics in recent years. Waterloo researchers convert video of a pitcher's performance into a two-dimensional model that PitcherNet's AI algorithm can later analyze. Those systems, produced by a company called Hawk-Eye Innovations, use multiple special cameras in each park to catch players in action, but the data they yield is typically available to the home team that owns the stadium those games are played in. To add away games to their analytics operation, as well as use smartphone video taken by scouts in minor league and college games, the Orioles asked video and AI experts at Waterloo for help about three years ago.

Deep Neural Networks have achieved unprecedented success in the field of face recognition such that any individual can crawl the data of others from the Internet without their explicit permission for the purpose of training high-precision face recognition models, creating a serious violation of privacy. Recently, a well-known system named Fawkes (published in USENIX Security 2020) claimed this privacy threat can be neutralized by uploading cloaked user images instead of their original images. In this paper, we present Oriole, a system that combines the advantages of data poisoning attacks and evasion attacks, to thwart the protection offered by Fawkes, by training the attacker face recognition model with multi-cloaked images generated by Oriole. Consequently, the face recognition accuracy of the attack model is maintained and the weaknesses of Fawkes are revealed. Experimental results show that our proposed Oriole system is able to effectively interfere with the performance of the Fawkes system to achieve promising attacking results. Our ablation study highlights multiple principal factors that affect the performance of the Oriole system, including the DSSIM perturbation budget, the ratio of leaked clean user images, and the numbers of multi-cloaks for each uncloaked image. We also identify and discuss at length the vulnerabilities of Fawkes. We hope that the new methodology presented in this paper will inform the security community of a need to design more robust privacy-preserving deep learning models.

Let's use it to finish our A/B test, starting with layout A. We need to prepare three arguments: data, prior_sampler and simulate. We already have the data for our A/B test. Let's now write a function that simulates the conversion of n_visitors visitors to a website with known probability p: Here's what happens when we run this function a few times to simulate 100 visitors converting with probability 0.1: Effectively, this function runs a fake A/B test in which we already know the conversion fraction.
