Along with the shutdown, the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015 lapsed, making it now more complex for organizations to share threat info with the government and their peers.
Check out my CSO piece on this development. Thanks to Nathaniel Jones, Mike Hamilton, and Ari Schwartz for their insight.
CISA 2015 cyber threat info-sharing law lapses amid government shutdown

CISA 2015 cyber threat info-sharing law lapses amid government shutdown
The expiration of a landmark cybersecurity law strips liability protections for cyber threat information sharing, leaving US cyber defenses weaker until lawmakers act.

In this post, guest author Maxi shares her experience in reusing data and machine learning models.
The short version:
It's frustrating, because people don't share or don't even respond to a clearly "reasonable request". We cannot build on other researchers' work if they don't share anything. Model weights offer the possibility to share information without sharing sensitive data, but even those are not shared.

Uncertainty Quantification for Regression using Proper Scoring Rules
Quantifying uncertainty of machine learning model predictions is essential for reliable decision-making, especially in safety-critical applications. Recently, uncertainty quantification (UQ) theory has advanced significantly, building on a firm basis of learning with proper scoring rules. However, these advances were focused on classification, while extending these ideas to regression remains challenging. In this work, we introduce a unified UQ framework for regression based on proper scoring r…
