Exploration And Exploitation: An Essay On (Machine) Learning, Algorithms, And Information Provision, Deven Desai
Exploration And Exploitation: An Essay On (Machine) Learning, Algorithms, And Information Provision, Deven Desai
Loyola University Chicago Law Journal
Legal and regulatory understandings of information provision miss the importance of the exploration-exploitation dynamic. This Essay argues that is a mistake and seeks to bring this perspective to the debate about information provision and competition. A general, ongoing problem for an individual or an organization is whether to stay with a familiar solution to a problem or try new options that may yield better results. Work in organizational learning describes this problem as the exploration-exploitation dilemma. Understanding and addressing that dilemma has become a key part of an algorithmic approach to computation, machine learning, as it is applied to information …

Loyola University Chicago Law Journal
In May 2014, Europe’s highest court planted a flag in the digital rights desert, declaring that individuals have limited, conditional rights against search engines.

Transparency enables government to collect and use personal information from the private sector in ways that circumvent traditional political and legal checks and …
Sharing Shortcoming, Derek E. Bambauer
Sharing Shortcoming, Derek E. Bambauer
Loyola University Chicago Law Journal
Current cybersecurity policy emphasizes increasing the sharing of threat and vulnerability information. Legal reform is seen as crucial to enabling this exchange, both within the public and private sectors and between them. Information sharing is due for some skepticism though, and this Essay (part of a symposium entitled Privacy in a Data Collection Society) attempts to provide it. Not only are there few real legal barriers to data exchange, but greater sharing will generate little benefit and will create significant privacy risks. This Essay creates a typography of vertical and horizontal information sharing, and argues that while top-down communication could …
