Steven P. CrainHi. I'm a PhD student in Computational Science and Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology. I am interested in the automatic discovery of important patterns, and believe that hierarchical and cascaded machine learning algorithms are key to reaching this goal. |
I am working on issues that arise with hierarchical classification of large collections of text documents, such as are available through The Internet Archive.
I am also working with identifying behaviors in video, to help with interventions for children with Autism Spectrum disorders.
Also see my curriculum vitae.
Burning Your Security At Three Ends: Security, Trust and Privacy in the Age of Disclosure. This is a talk delivered at the Web Science Tea 4/18/2008.
I'll look at the issues relating to security, trust and privacy. We will discuss how security, trust and privacy are being melted from three directions: the human drive for community; the very attempts to improve security, trust and privacy; and, corporate profit.
Our discussion will be guided by several different security models. The economic model, which considers that we "buy" trust with "payments" of private information is currently very popular. We will also use models from information security (for example, the characteristics of a good password).
