Inductive Inference Of Languages From Samplings, Sanjay Jain, Efim Kinber
Inductive Inference Of Languages From Samplings, Sanjay Jain, Efim Kinber
School of Computer Science & Engineering Faculty Publications
We introduce, discuss, and study a model for inductive inference from samplings, formalizing an idea of learning different “projections” of languages. One set of our results addresses the problem of finding a uniform learner for all samplings of a language from a certain set when learners for particular samplings are available. Another set of results deals with extending learnability from a large natural set of samplings to larger sets. A number of open problems is formulated.

Applying The “Contextual Integrity” Model Of Privacy To Personal Blogs In The Blogoshere, Frances Grodzinsky, Herman T. Tavani
School of Computer Science & Engineering Faculty Publications
In this paper, we analyze some controversial aspects of blogging and the blogosphere from the perspective of privacy. In particular, we focus on Helen Nissenbaum’s theory of privacy as “contextual integrity” and apply it to personal blogs, in general, and the case of the “Washingtonienne” blogger, in particular. We examine the question of whether personal blogs that are not password protected can be considered “normatively private contexts” according to Nissenbaum’s principles of privacy. We argue that they cannot. Using Nissenbaum’s original model, we conclude that privacy expectations for those who disclose personal information in such blogs are unrealistic. We also …
