TikTok’s messy merger in Indonesia could be a preview of what’s to come in the U.S.
A year after merging with local giant Tokopedia, TikTok’s business model is alienating sellers, forcing many to join rival platforms.

Research Study on Data Privacy and Collective Redress
A researcher at University College Dublin wants to conduct anonymous interviews to learn about why you would or would not participate in a legal action to rectify a data protection violation. This information can be used to help nonprofit organizations better represent you when organizations violate your data protection rights. Provide your email to receive more information. All personally identifiable information will be deleted following completion of the study.

Multi-dimensional queue-reactive model and signal-driven models: a unified framework
We present a Markovian market model driven by a hidden Brownian efficient price. In particular, we extend the queue-reactive model, making its dynamics dependent on the efficient price. Our study focuses on two sub-models: a signal-driven price model where the mid-price jump rates depend on the efficient price and an observable signal, and the usual queue-reactive model dependent on the efficient price via the intensities of the order arrivals. This way, we are able to correlate the evolution o…

Rectifying Privacy and Efficacy Measurements in Machine Unlearning: A New Inference Attack Perspective
Machine unlearning focuses on efficiently removing specific data from trained models, addressing privacy and compliance concerns with reasonable costs. Although exact unlearning ensures complete data removal equivalent to retraining, it is impractical for large-scale models, leading to growing interest in inexact unlearning methods. However, the lack of formal guarantees in these methods necessitates the need for robust evaluation frameworks to assess their privacy and effectiveness. In this wo…

Please folks, the torment nexus isn't any better just because it's home-made… I hate how the intellectually bankrupt narratives of Silicon Valley are just copied over, as if that solved anything.
