    Jack Fitzsimons | Evil Models: Hiding Malware in Neural Networks

    Jack Fitzsimons | Evil Models: Hiding Malware in Neural Networks Did you know that it's possible to hide malware in neural networks? Actually, you can hide malware in many statistical models. This is the subject of two recently-published papers (aptly titled "EvilModel" & "EvilModel 2.0"). Dr. Jack Fitzsimons makes it easy to understand how this is done, using techniques that began long before computers.     Watch or listen on...  Youtube: https://youtu.be/QBnk8ogL8Nk Podbean: https://dataandsciencepodcast.podbean.com/e/jack-fitzsimons-evil-models-hiding-malware-in-neural-networks/

    Eric Daza | Important Ideas in Causal Inference

    Eric Daza | Important Ideas in Causal Inference YouTube: https://youtu.be/K5nsSMJVIT0 Andrew Gelman and Aki Vehtari wrote a paper titled, "What are the most important statistical ideas of the past 50 years?". The first idea in the list is "counterfactual causal inference". Eric Daza (Evidation Health) walks us through the main ideas of the Gelman & Vehtari paper, drawing examples from several fields, including medical & healthcare statistics.  Topics 0:00 - Coming up...Correlation vs Causation 1:20 - Most important statistical ideas over the last 50 years 6:10 - Counterfactual Causal Inference 9:40 - Assumptions Change between Applied Domains 21:10 - Propensity Score Methods 25:15 - Transportability of Scientific Results  26:30 - People don't want generalizable results 32:00 - Generic Computation Algorithms 37:00 - Reweighting 43:57 - Matching Methods 58:20 - Medical Data is Higher Dimensional that we think. 1:00:15 - Is a Trial Population Representative?  1:10:35 - Causal Models in the Future 1:18:45 - Apostates Welcome 1:21:45 - Scientific Debate

    Simon Mak | Integrating Science into Stats Models

    Simon Mak | Integrating Science into Stats Models #statistics #science #ai It’s a common dictum that statisticians need to incorporate domain knowledge into their modeling and the interpretation of their results. But how deeply can scientific principles be embedded into statistical models? Prof. Simon Mak (Duke University) is pushing this idea to the limit by integrating fundamental physics, physiology, and biology into both the models and model inference. This includes Simon’s joint work with Profs. David Dunson and Ruda Zhang (also of Duke University). Scientific reasoning AND stats. What more could we ask for? Enjoy! Watch it on....
