Proposals for model vulnerability and security

O'Reilly on Data

The objective here is to brainstorm on potential security vulnerabilities and defenses in the context of popular, traditional predictive modeling systems, such as linear and tree-based models trained on static data sets. If an attacker can receive many predictions from your model API or other endpoint (website, app, etc.),

Structural Evolutions in Data

O'Reilly on Data

Each time, the underlying implementation changed a bit while still staying true to the larger phenomenon of “Analyzing Data for Fun and Profit.” ” They weren’t quite sure what this “data” substance was, but they’d convinced themselves that they had tons of it that they could monetize.

Using random effects models in prediction problems

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

Through simulation we illustrate issues with model fitting techniques that depend on matrix factorization. Far from hypothetical, we have encountered these issues in our experiences with "big data" prediction problems. These predictive posterior distributions have many uses such as in multi-armed bandit problems.
