Facebook Is Prepping Up In a New Way!

Facebook is testing a new feature that will give users the option to publish a post only to the News Feed and not on their Timeline. This feature will let users post as much as they want on the News Feed without having it saved in its profile history. Currently, Facebook only allows users to hide posts in their Timelines manually after they have posted it on the social platform. Now, Facebook has confirmed that it is testing a feature that will let users pre-determine whether a particular post will go on the Timeline, or not. As mentioned by Facebook, the feature is only under testing, and hence may not be seen by all users on apps or the desktop site.

Data insecurity and loop holes

Social presence and cyber security issues have a deeper correlation regarding security breaching. Even a normal post can harm any damage by sending a phishing mail. You can be at home, work, on your phone, with a tablet or on a public computer or borrowed device. Your phone, which doubles as a virtual office, is the easiest channel for data to leak out. Data leaks can happen in a harmless post about relocating for work when that news is still confidential to your company. It can happen if you hit "paste" with text from a work-related email in your clipboard and post it into the wrong window on your screen and it can also happen if your smartphone auto-corrects something you spelled wrong in a social media post to some project code name that you just used in an email. So an unimportant activity can create a huge impact.

Introducing Gradient Boosting Machines

Introducing Gradient Boosting Machines

Currently one of the state of the art algorithms in Machine Learning is Gradient Boosting Machine (GBM). GBM can be used for regression, based on decision trees as prediction models. In GBMs, the learning procedure consecutively fits new models to provide a more accurate estimate of the response variable. The principle idea behind this algorithm is to construct the new base-learners to be maximally correlated with the negative gradient of the loss function, associated with the whole ensemble. The loss functions applied can be arbitrary, but to give a better perception, if the error function is the classic squared-error loss, the learning procedure would result in consecutive error-fitting.
