The post debates whether a hash of classified information should be considered classified. While some argue it's classified because it interacts with classified data, others suggest it's not as it's irreversible. https://reddit.com/r/cybersecurity/comments/1c5fmwv/

Complexity of Probabilistic Reasoning for Neurosymbolic Classification Techniques
Neurosymbolic artificial intelligence is a growing field of research aiming to combine neural network learning capabilities with the reasoning abilities of symbolic systems. Informed multi-label classification is a sub-field of neurosymbolic AI which studies how to leverage prior knowledge to improve neural classification systems. A well known family of neurosymbolic techniques for informed classification use probabilistic reasoning to integrate this knowledge during learning, inference or both…

Sketches and Classifying Logoi
Inspired by the theory of classifying topoi for geometric theories, we define rounded sketches and logoi and provide the notion of classifying logos for a rounded sketch. Rounded sketches can be used to axiomatise all the known fragments of infinitary first order logic in $\mathbf{L}_{\infty,\infty}$, in a spectrum ranging from weaker than finitary algebraic to stronger than $λ$-geometric for $λ$ a regular cardinal. We show that every rounded sketch has an associated classifying logos, having…

FCert: Certifiably Robust Few-Shot Classification in the Era of Foundation Models
Few-shot classification with foundation models (e.g., CLIP, DINOv2, PaLM-2) enables users to build an accurate classifier with a few labeled training samples (called support samples) for a classification task. However, an attacker could perform data poisoning attacks by manipulating some support samples such that the classifier makes the attacker-desired, arbitrary prediction for a testing input. Empirical defenses cannot provide formal robustness guarantees, leading to a cat-and-mouse game bet…

For #ThingThursday, here’s a #VanCort “Dragonfly” dioptric kaleidoscope made of dyed birch wood, glass, and brass from 1987, which belonged to my dad. It was made by a husband and wife business who specialized in making handcrafted, 18th and 19th century instruments from 1979 until 2003.

It's a damnable indictment on our whistleblower laws but it could have been a far far worse outcome.
