We are doing it wrong: Threat Modeling DevConf.CZ
Threat modeling is one of the most critical activities if you release any software to the web. There are numerous tools, books (one of each is mine), and tutorials on making it suitable. My talk has a different intent - it walks you through bad practices. How the modeling is wrong, and how bad actors can exploit that. Here is an example: Only one person in the company does Threat modeling. On the surface, the "hero" approach might be a good use of someone's time, but in the end, the thread …

From an Integrated Usability Framework to Lessons on Usability and Performance of Open Government Data Portals: A Comparative Study of European Union and Gulf Cooperation Council Countries
Open Government Data (OGD) initiatives aim to enhance public participation and collaboration by making government data accessible to diverse stakeholders, fostering social, environmental, and economic benefits through public value generation. However, challenges such as declining popularity, lack of OGD portal usability, and private interests overshadowing public accessibility persist. This study proposes an integrated usability framework for evaluating OGD portals, focusing on inclusivity, use…

A procedure for multiple testing of partial conjunction hypotheses based on a hazard rate inequality
The partial conjunction null hypothesis is tested in order to discover a signal that is present in multiple studies. The standard approach of carrying out a multiple test procedure on the partial conjunction (PC) $p$-values can be extremely conservative. We suggest alleviating this conservativeness, by eliminating many of the conservative PC $p$-values prior to the application of a multiple test procedure. This leads to the following two step procedure: first, select the set with PC $p$-values …

BPZ equations for higher degenerate fields and nonperturbative Dyson-Schwinger equations
In the two-dimensional Liouville conformal field theory, correlation functions involving a degenerate field satisfy partial differential equations due to the decoupling of the null descendant field. On the other hand, the instanton partition function of a four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric theory in the $Ω$-background at a special point of the parameter space also satisfies a partial differential equation resulting from the constraints of the gauge field configurations. This parti…

Personally animation will always be superior to live action. Instead of explaining why, I have a slide for you.

DiffusionPID: Interpreting Diffusion via Partial Information Decomposition
Text-to-image diffusion models have made significant progress in generating naturalistic images from textual inputs, and demonstrate the capacity to learn and represent complex visual-semantic relationships. While these diffusion models have achieved remarkable success, the underlying mechanisms driving their performance are not yet fully accounted for, with many unanswered questions surrounding what they learn, how they represent visual-semantic relationships, and why they sometimes fail to ge…

Relational event models with global covariates
Traditional inference in relational event models from dynamic network data involves only dyadic and node-specific variables, as anything that is global, i.e. constant across dyads, drops out of the partial likelihood. We address this with the use of nested case-control sampling on a time-shifted version of the event process. This leads to a partial likelihood of a degenerate logistic additive model, enabling efficient estimation of global and non-global covariate effects. The method's effective…
