Interpretable Machine Learning for Privacy-Preserving Pervasive Systems
Our everyday interactions with pervasive systems generate traces that capture
various aspects of human behavior and enable machine learning algorithms to
extract latent information about users. In this paper, we propose a machine
learning interpretability framework that enables users to understand how these
generated traces violate their privacy
California Community Choice Aggregation Law & Regulation
The purpose of this special topic is to provide a summary of the laws and regulations associated with the development of Community Choice Aggregation (âCCAâ) in California and the growing impact of CCA in the California energy market
Non-Local Control of Single Surface Plasmon
Quantum entanglement is a stunning consequence of the superposition
principle. This universal property of quantum systems has been intensively
explored with photons, atoms, ions and electrons. Collective excitations such
as surface plasmons exhibit quantum behaviors. For the first time, we report an
experimental evidence of non-local control of single plasmon interferences
through entanglement of a single plasmon with a single photon. We achieved
photon-plasmon entanglement by converting one photon of an entangled photon
pair into a surface plasmon. The plasmon is tested onto a plasmonic platform in
a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. A projective measurement on the polarization of
the photon allows the non-local control of the interference state of the
plasmon. Entanglement between particles of various natures paves the way to the
design of hybrid systems in quantum information networks.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figure
Socio-Emotional Functioning and Face Recognition Ability in the Normal Population
Recent research indicates face recognition ability varies within the normal population. To date, two factors have been identified that influence this cognitive process: the age and gender of the perceiver. In this paper, we examine the influence of socio-emotional functioning on face recognition ability. We invited participants with high and low levels of empathy (as indicated by the Empathy Quotient) to take part in a face recognition test. Participants were asked to study a set of faces, and at test viewed the studied faces intermixed with novel faces. As predicted, high empaths achieved higher scores in the face recognition test compared to low empaths. This pattern of findings provides further evidence that face recognition ability varies within the normal population, and suggests socio-emotional functioning may be an additional factor that influences face recognition ability
