Anomaly Detection and Spark Implementation - Meetup Presentation.pptxImpetus Technologies
StreamAnalytix sponsored a meetup on “Anomaly Detection Techniques and Implementation using Apache Spark” which took place on Tuesday December 5, 2017 at Larkspur Landing Milpitas Hotel, Milpitas, CA. The meetup was led by Maxim Shkarayev, Lead Data Scientist, Impetus Technologies along with Punit Shah, Solution Architect, StreamAnalytix and Anand Venugopal, Product Head & AVP, StreamAnalytix, who introduced and summarized the vast field of Anomaly Detection and its applications in various industry problems. The speakers at the event also offered a structured approach to choose the right anomaly detection techniques based on specific use-cases and data characteristics which was followed by a demonstration of some real-world anomaly detection use-cases on Apache Spark based analytics platform.
The increased need for unattended authentication in multiple scenarios has motivated a wide deployment of biometric systems in the last few years. This has in turn led to the disclosure of security concerns specifically related to biometric systems. Among them, presentation attacks (PAs, i.e., attempts to log into the system with a fake biometric characteristic or presentation attack instrument) pose a severe threat to the security of the system: any person could eventually fabricate or order a gummy finger or face mask to impersonate someone else. In this context, we present a novel fingerprint presentation attack detection (PAD) scheme based on i) a new capture device able to acquire images within the short wave infrared (SWIR) spectrum, and ii) an in-depth analysis of several state-of-the art techniques based on both handcrafted and deep learning features. The approach is evaluated on a database comprising over 4700 samples, stemming from 562 different subjects and 35 different presentation attack instrument (PAI) species. The results show the soundness of the proposed approach with a detection equal error rate (D-EER) as low as 1.35% even in a realistic scenario where five different PAI species are considered only for testing purposes (i.e., unknown attacks).
The Presentation is about the Basic Introduction to Cybersecurity that talks about introduction and what is security means. Also the presentation talks about CIA Triad i.e confidentiality, integrity and availability
All levels of society rely upon information technology systems. Network operations are pervasive and impact nearly every aspect of our society. The desire of companies to collect, use, store, and secure information about customers, employees, and other individuals is a requirement of the new economy. It is no wonder that the prevalence of electronic communications and a growing dependency on cyber structures and operations also create potential vulnerabilities to cyberattacks. It is critical to preserve information systems and address and prevent weaknesses in cyber protection efforts. This webinar examines the means for companies to reach data goals ethically, efficiently and legally. The panel will also discuss the evolving regulatory approaches of the European Union, United States Federal government and significant developments in U.S. state regimes, including California. Best practices and model comprehensive privacy and cybersecurity policies are discussed. And, data breach response and related litigation, including class action litigation issues and fiduciary duty violations under corporate law, are discussed.

Moral Coppélia: Affective moral reasoning with twofold autonomy and a touch o...Matthijs Pontier
We present a moral reasoner, Moral Coppélia, which combines connectionism, utilitarianism, and ethical theory about the moral duties autonomy, non-maleficence, beneficence, and justice with affective states and personality traits. We, moreover, treat human autonomy in the sense of self-determination as well as making a meaningful choice. Our system combines bottom-up with top-down approaches, calculating the effect of an act on the total moral utility in the world. Moral Coppélia can reproduce the verdicts of medical ethicists and health judges in real-life cases and can handle the emotional differences between logically identical problems such as the Trolley and Footbridge dilemma. It also deals with properties of character and personality such as honesty and humility to explain why logic reasoning is not always descriptive of actual human moral behavior. Apart from simulating known cases, we performed a split-half experiment with the responses of 153 participants in a criminal justice experiment. While fine-tuning the parameters to the first half of the data, the encompassing version of Moral Coppélia was capable of forecasting criminal decisions, leading to a better fit with the second half of the data than either of the loose component parts did. In other words, we found empirical support for the integral contribution of ratio, affect, and personality to moral decision making, which, additionally, could be acceptably simulated by our extended version of the Moral Coppélia system.

ETHICS DEMYSTIFIED
Mention that you are interested in learning how people become ethically mature and people will give you
lots of advice … often not useful.
Many believe that they learned everything that they need about ethics and morals as kids, so they don’t
need any more training. However, just like learning addition doesn’t give us enough math to function in an
adult world, the beginning truths of “don’t hit your sister” and “don’t lie” don’t provide us with enough
guidance to know what to do in complex situations.
Many will say that they “just know” what to do. Unfortunately, our gut is not very good at helping us
explain to others why a particular course of action is better than another. Self-knowledge and thoughtful
reflection help us find the right words to explain our positions and influence a course of action.
Many will say that every problem has only one right answer — and we should know that answer. If that
were so, we would not have so many laws and over 5,000 years of conversation about how one should act in
community. If all the answers were self evident, few would make terrible and often unintentional errors of
judgment that call their ethics into question.
And, finally, every person knows they are ethical — just ask. Yet, as we look around, ethics scandals abound.
With a cocked eyebrow we judge each other’s ethics but not our own. We often find that the other person is
ethically deficient and we are just fine.
And we have this niggling question: why, when so many say they are ethical, do we have so many prob-
lems? Is the problem due to human nature — no one can claim to be ethical and there is no hope? Or is there a
more basic problem, one of definition? What do we mean by ethics? And exactly how do we determine what
actions are — or are not — ethical?
The Ethical Lens Inventory (ELI) is a tool to help you answer those questions and to help you become more
aware about your own values. As you understand what values are important to you, you will discover your
preferred approach to solving ethical dilemmas. The ELI will identify your natural ethical home. You will
also be given strategies to help you become more ethically mature. However, before exploring the four ethi-
cal lenses, let’s examine some basic concepts.
BASIC DEFINITIONS
Ethics can be broadly defined as demonstrating our values through our actions. As we make choices, each of
us knows our own heart, our values, and our motivations. With each choice, our values are translated into
concrete actions in specific situations.
The specific actions are then defined as “ethical” or “unethical” depending on whether the actions match
the observer’s understanding of what behaviors count.
§ Did you follow accepted principles?
§ Did you choose ideal goals?
§ Did you seek justice?
§ Did you demonstrate the expected virtues?
Morality: Each of us has a personal set of values that help us decide what to do. While we share
values with others in a v ...
What’s ethics got to do with this? Ethics and Decision Making in Volunteer En...VolunteerMatch
As leaders of volunteer engagement we’re often asked to make difficult decisions. How do we know if the decisions we’re making are the right ones? When you’re in this type of dilemma how do you intervene or lead? In this highly interactive workshop we’ll explore how ethics guide the work we do leading and engaging volunteers, and we’ll practice using ethical decision making. Attendees will leave with a worksheet to help introduce and use ethical decision making in their organization.
Learn the value of ethics in the workplace, how to deal with conflict of interest, how to instill an ethos of ethics on your board, on your council, in your community, in your organization.
A broad examination of ethics and of individual and definitive good decision-making initiatives in the use of information systems in a global perspective. This course aims to recognize ethical issues raised by existing and rising technologies, apply a sorted-out structure to analyze danger and decision choices, and appreciate the impact of individual ethics and various leveled characteristics on an ethical workplace. Students explore the technological underpinnings of associated technology systems, experiment with individual and group interaction with technologies, and examine the mechanics of ethical and unethical behaviors.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

3. Obligation or Rule-based
(Immanuel Kant, 1724-1804):
There exist absolute moral requirements
regardless of consequences; certain acts are
intrinsically moral, right
Consequence-based (Consequentialism)
(Jeremy Bentham, 1748-1832):
Right or wrong is determined by
the consequences of act/ behavior.
Types of Ethical Theories
Deontological
Teleological
4. Types of Ethical Theories (cont’d)
Rights-based (liberal individualism):
Liberties and freedoms of individuals
should be protected
Community-based (communitarianism):
Cooperative virtues supercede individual liberties
for the common good – communal values
5. Ethical Principles & Values
Autonomy (self determination)
Beneficence (act for other’s benefit)
Nonmaleficence (do not harm)
Justice (fairness)
These principles create an ideal that we try to achieve.
Ethics and ethical codes provide a directive for actions
consistent with these ideals. These directives guide practice.
6. Definitions
Values
Suggest the importance we place on
certain principles
Something “intrinsically valuable or desirable”
(Dolgoff & Skolnick, 1992, p. 100)
Morals
Socially constructed values – “good” or “bad”
Ethics
“The systematic exploration of questions about how
we should act in relation to others” (Rhodes, 1986,
p. 21)
Values in action – how you act on your values.
7. NASW Code of Ethics
A profession is defined by specialized knowledge,
regulated way of obtaining training, and code of ethics
The purpose of a code of ethics is to “set forth values,
ethical principles, and ethical standards to which
professionals aspire and by which their actions can be
judged”
(NASW, 1996, p. 4)
NASW Hotline 1-800-638-8799 TU 10-1, TH 1-4
8. Values, principles & ethics are what
link theory, methods and skills in the
practice setting.
Must also consider clinical
and legal context.
9. Your Turn
Think about your personal value system. What drives
your passion for the field of social work? Are there
any principles you can name that you particularly
value?
Think about your field placement organization. What
values or principles drive the mission of this
organization?
Based on your experiences thus far, what do you think
are the core values of social work as a field that you
relate to?
10. NASW Code of Ethics
• Value - Service
• Social work’s primary goal is to
enhance human well-being and meet
basic needs of all, particularly most
vulnerable and oppressed
• Beneficence - doing good
• Non-maleficence - not doing harm
11. NASW Code of Ethics
Value - Social Justice
Social workers promote social
justice and social change with and
on behalf of clients
Non discrimination (advocacy)
12. NASW Code of Ethics
Value - Dignity and Worth of all
persons
Autonomy (Self-determination)
Privacy (Confidentiality)
13. NASW Code of Ethics
• Value - Importance of Human
Relationships
• Social workers recognize the central
importance of human relationships
• Don’t put clients at risk for exploitation
with dual relationships
• Set appropriate boundaries
14. NASW Code of Ethics
• Value - Integrity
Social workers behave in a trustworthy
manner
Veracity (truth telling)
15. NASW Code of Ethics
• Value - Competence
Social workers practice within
their areas of competence and
develop and enhance their
professional expertise
Reporting the incompetence of
others
16. Limitations in the Code of Ethics
“does not specify which values, principles and
standards are most important and ought to outweigh
others in instances when they conflict” (NASW, 1996, p. 3)
What are other limitations of the Code of Ethics?
17. You are an intern at an agency serving homeless
severely mentally ill adults. The setting provides
housing and counseling services. A significant portion
of the funding supporting the agency comes from a
funder who is tying continued funding to having the
clients participate in individual and group sessions.
Most of your clients do not come to see you and do not
attend scheduled groups. Your supervisor is putting
some pressure on you to have the clients attend.
What are some of the ethical, clinical, and legal
issues involved? What would you do?
18. You are an intern placed in a high school that received
funding through a private foundation to run programs for
students with high rates of absenteeism and tardiness.
Your supervisor feels that continued funding is dependent
on demonstrating that you are reaching many students. He
routinely asks you and your fellow interns (there are 3 of you
from Silberman) to record high numbers of participants for
your weekly groups, even though there are some weeks
when the group isn’t even held because of lack of
participation. When you raise concerns about what you
consider falsification of documents, he replies that the
greater good of maintaining funding to even have these
programs available to students supersedes “fudging” of the
data.
What are some of the ethical, clinical, and legal issues
involved? What would you do?
19. You are responsible for running a mutual aid group within a program
that utilizes a Clubhouse model for individuals with mental health
diagnoses. Because the Club is very diverse with regards to race,
ethnicity, age, religious views, gender identity, gender expression,
sexuality, mental health diagnosis, and developmental ability, it is to be
expected that tensions or conflicts arise. As one member said recently,
“We call it a safe space, but we should really just call it a space.” Ace and
Marvin are two group members who I accompanied on a weekly grocery
shopping trip. Marvin recently began opening up in the group about the
stigma he faces from his family about his mental health condition and
his sexual orientation. They have different views of personal space and
while in the store, Marvin was bothered by Ace being “in my face” and
Ace's feelings were hurt by Marvin's coldness. Underlying this tension
was Marvin's discomfort with Ace's transgenderism. Marvin and Ace are
adults who are all too aware of what it feels like to be talked down to,
which makes you unsure of how to relate to this conflict. You are outside
of the walls of the club, and you are concerned about accomplishing the
grocery needs in time for club cooking that afternoon, a task that brings
up stress for you in general.
What do you do?
20. Inclusive Model of Ethical Decision-Making
(McAuliffe & Chenoweth, 2008)
Model rests on 4 key platforms:
Accountability
Consultation
Cultural Sensitivity
Critical Reflection
22. Inclusive Model of Ethical Decision-
Making
4. Alternative Approaches and Action: what are
available courses of action, alternatives, and
possible outcomes? How do I feel about decision?

24. Reisch & Lowe’s Model for Resolving Ethical
Dilemmas (usually applied in Macro settings)
1. Which ethical principles apply to the situation?
2. What additional information is necessary to examine the ethical
dilemma? What don’t you know that you need to?
3. Identify any potential conflict of interest and people who are
likely to benefit from such conflicts.
4. Identify the relevant ethical principles and/or rules that apply
and rank order them in terms of importance.
5. Determine the consequences of applying different ethical rules
or ranking these rules differently (p. 26).
6. Who should make a final decision on a resolution?

30. You are recruiting supermarket employees during a union
organizing campaign. One prospective recruit tells you that
she fears she will be fired by her employer or subjected to
on-the-job harassment. She asks you to describe the
protections the union provides to new members. She also
wants you to be candid about the possible risks of taking
action.
You know that during previous organizing attempts at other
stores, union supporters have been fired and the union has
only been able to provide $200 and a few bags of groceries
to each terminated employee.
What do you tell her?
31. A social work group work intern at a high school in
Brooklyn is told by her supervisor that she should not
talk about her sexual identity with her groups. The
student is a lesbian and she is out. The student
appealed to the supervisor’s boss.
If you were the supervisor’s boss, what would you do?
What really happened: The supervisor’s boss agreed with the
student’s supervisor. The student brought the issue to Hunter
Social Work and the Director of Field changed the student's
placement. And the Field Director insisted that the supervisor in
the school attend a Seminar in Field Instruction where a cultural
competence workshop was offered.
32. What do you do if you were the student intern?
An intern was placed at an agency offering
services to the elderly. In a home visit with an
elder, the elder requested that the student (a
woman of color) not send any home
attendants to the elder who “were colored”.
The elder's concern was that “the colored”
home attendants are thieves.
