We are pleased to announce that Professor Reza Shokri and his team have been honoured with the prestigious Best Paper Award at the 6th annual ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency (ACM FAccT) in Chicago! ๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ‘

The insightful paper, "On The Impact of Machine Learning Randomness on Group Fairness," was the collaborative effort of MComp graduate Prakhar Ganesh, PhD students Hongyan Chang and Martin Strobel, and our very own Prof. Reza Shokri. ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ“

Their pioneering research delves into the world of machine learning, unraveling how randomness in data order during training affects group fairness. Their insights are especially crucial for minority groups, who face higher prediction uncertainty. The team also introduced a novel data ordering technique that bolsters model fairness! ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ’ก

๐ŸŒ With advanced AI tools๐Ÿค–, scammers can now mimic voices and create realistic videos to trick unsuspecting victims. ๐Ÿšจ

When interviewed by the Straits Times, #NUSComputing's Associate Professor Terence Sim emphasized the dangers, stating, "When a victim sees a video of a friend or a loved one, he tends to believe that it is real and that they are in need of help. There is an increased level of believability and deception behind such scams." ๐Ÿ˜ง

Additionally, #NUSComputing's Professor Hahn Jungpil in an interview with Lianhe Zaobao, added his insights by saying, "Consumers should generally be more skeptical and vigilant.โ€

โ€œA certain level of skepticism will help consumers tune into subtle visual and auditory anomalies that may suggest that the content they are seeing is indeed a deepfake.โ€
