In the paper, we explore privacy attacks via linkage of samples of human microbiome, and extend on the current threat landscape by a more effective linkage attack. We further discuss mitigation actions. Our paper was published in “Computers & Security“, a Q1 ranked journal by… Read More
With this we explore the transformative potential of AI in facilitating interdisciplinary research, enhancing learning experiences, and reducing academic workload. It delves into specific AI-driven tools that can democratize knowledge access, benefit both generalists and specialists, and streamline administrative tasks. The presentation aims to stimulate discussions on responsibly harnessing AI… Read More
The article discusses potential strategies for automation of assessment of data management plans so that researchers and funders can receive quick feedback on the quality and FAIRness of planned or executed actions. The results presented on the paper will have impact on the new features developed in the… Read More
Our article “I Know What You Trained Last Summer: A Survey on Stealing Machine Learning Models and Defences” by Daryna Oliynyk, Rudolf Mayer and Andreas Rauber, researchers at SBA Research, was just published by ACM Computing Surveys. The… Read More
