Kann mir jemand mal 'Anonyme Umfrage' erklären?
Meine Tochter bekam vor ca. 4 Wochen ein Schreiben eines Frankfurter Amtes. Sie sei 1 von 5000 zufällig ausgewählten Bürger_innen und solle doch bitte
1. freiwillig und
2. anonym
an einer Umfrage teilnehmen.
Heute bekommt sie ein weiteres Schreiben. Inhalt: "Leider haben sie noch nicht an unserer Umfrage teilgenommen". Natürlich folgt dann sofort der Hinweis auf Freiwilligkeit und Anonymität. Alles D…

VoxATtack: A Multimodal Attack on Voice Anonymization Systems
Voice anonymization systems aim to protect speaker privacy by obscuring vocal traits while preserving the linguistic content relevant for downstream applications. However, because these linguistic cues remain intact, they can be exploited to identify semantic speech patterns associated with specific speakers. In this work, we present VoxATtack, a novel multimodal de-anonymization model that incorporates both acoustic and textual information to attack anonymization systems. While previous resear…

Protecting participants or population? Comparison of k-anonymous Origin-Destination matrices
Origin-Destination (OD) matrices are a core component of research on users' mobility and summarize how individuals move between geographical regions. These regions should be small enough to be representative of user mobility, without incurring substantial privacy risks. There are two added values of the NetMob2025 challenge dataset. Firstly, the data is extensive and contains a lot of socio-demographic information that can be used to create multiple OD matrices, based on the segments of the pop…

Why Data Anonymization Has Not Taken Off

Why Data Anonymization Has Not Taken Off
Companies are looking to data anonymization research $\unicode{x2013}$ including differential private and synthetic data methods $\unicode{x2013}$ for simple and straightforward compliance solutions. But data anonymization has not taken off in practice because it is anything but simple to implement. For one, it requires making complex choices which are case dependent, such as the domain of the dataset to anonymize; the units to protect; the scope where the data protection should extend to; and …

Ok, in BW wurden „aufgrund eines Computerfehlers“ 1440 Lehrystellen nicht besetzt.¹
Aufregung, Skandal, zahlreiche Artikel. Nur: was genau passiert ist, erklärt wieder mal niemand.
Ich kann mir das ja nicht so vorstellen, daß die Mike-Krüger-Gesamtschule plötzlich feststellt, daß heute niemand die 7b unterrichtet.
Muß ich annehmen, daß ein Rektor ohne Nachfrage im Ministerium hinnimmt, daß er dieses Schuljahr zwei Lehrkräfte weniger hat (z.B. nach Pensionierung nicht nachbe…

Peinliche Computer-Panne: Mehr als tausend Lehrerstellen 20 Jahre übersehen
Über 20 Jahre fällt niemandem auf, dass hunderte Lehrerstellen unbesetzt sind. Das Kultusministerium ist peinlich berührt, kann nun aber kräftig einstellen.

Artificial Intelligence in Breast Cancer Care: Transforming Preoperative Planning and Patient Education with 3D Reconstruction
Effective preoperative planning requires accurate algorithms for segmenting anatomical structures across diverse datasets, but traditional models struggle with generalization. This study presents a novel machine learning methodology to improve algorithm generalization for 3D anatomical reconstruction beyond breast cancer applications. We processed 120 retrospective breast MRIs (January 2018-June 2023) through three phases: anonymization and manual segmentation of T1-weighted and dynamic contras…

Masked ICE agents are only the start of the assault on government transparency.
Now, government attorneys that are arguing to deport immigrants are doing so in secret.
The Intercept reports on two separate instances immigration judges in New York City declined to identify the government attorneys for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
In the first case Judge ShaSha Xu said,
“We’re not really doing names publicly.”
But that’s not really true. Because she *did* ID…

Judges are letting government attorneys do the ugly work of mass deportations anonymously.
