Live Streaming Technology and Online Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse - A Scoping Review
Trauma, Violence, & Abuse (2023).Status: Accepted
Live Streaming Technology and Online Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse - A Scoping Review
Livestreaming of child sexual abuse is an established form of online child sexual exploitation
and abuse. However, only a limited body of research has examined this issue. The Covid-19
pandemic has accelerated internet use and user knowledge of livestreaming services
emphasising the importance of understanding this crime. In this scoping review, existing
literature was brought together through an iterative search of eight databases containing peer-
reviewed journal articles, as well as grey literature. Records were eligible for inclusion if the
primary focus was on livestream technology and online child sexual exploitation and abuse,
the child being defined as eighteen years or younger. Fourteen of the 2,218 records were
selected. The data were charted and divided into four categories: victims, offenders,
legislation, and technology. Limited research, differences in terminology, study design, and
population inclusion criteria present a challenge to drawing general conclusions on the
current state of livestreaming of child sexual abuse. The records show that victims are
predominantly female. The average livestream offender was found to be older than the
average online child sexual abuse offender. Therefore, it is unclear whether the findings are
representative of the global population of livestream offenders. Furthermore, there appears to
be a gap in what the records show on platforms and payment services used and current digital
trends. The lack of a legal definition and privacy considerations pose a challenge to
investigation, detection, and prosecution. The available data allow some insights into a
potentially much larger issue.

Approximate Bayesian Inference Based on Expected Evaluation

Approximate Bayesian Inference Based on Expected Evaluation
Approximate Bayesian computing (ABC) and Bayesian Synthetic likelihood (BSL) are two popular families of methods to evaluate the posterior distribution when the likelihood function is not available or tractable. For existing variants of ABC and BSL, the focus is usually first put on the simulation algorithm, and after that the form of the resulting approximate posterior distribution comes as a consequence of the algorithm. In this paper we turn this around and firstly define a reasonable approximate posterior distribution by studying the distributional properties of the expected discrepancy, or more generally an expected evaluation, with respect to generated samples from the model. The resulting approximate posterior distribution will be on a simple and interpretable form compared to ABC and BSL.
Secondly a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm is developed to simulate from the resulting approximate posterior distribution. The algorithm was evaluated on a synthetic data example and on the Stepping Stone population genetics model, demonstrating that the proposed scheme has real world applicability. The algorithm demonstrates competitive results with the BSL and sequential Monte Carlo ABC algorithms, but is outperformed by the ABC MCMC.

Sparse Online Learning with Kernels using Random Features for Estimating Nonlinear Dynamic Graphs
IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing 71 (2023): 2027-2042.Status: Published
Sparse Online Learning with Kernels using Random Features for Estimating Nonlinear Dynamic Graphs
Online topology estimation of graph-connected time series is challenging in practice, particularly because the dependencies between the time series in many real-world scenarios are nonlinear. To address this challenge, we introduce a novel kernel-based algorithm for online graph topology estimation. Our proposed algorithm also performs a Fourier-based random feature approximation to tackle the curse of dimensionality associated with kernel representations. Exploiting the fact that real-world networks often exhibit sparse topologies, we propose a group-Lasso based optimization framework, which is solved using an iterative composite objective mirror descent method, yielding an online algorithm with fixed computational complexity per iteration. We provide theoretical guarantees for our algorithm and prove that it can achieve sublinear dynamic regret under certain reasonable assumptions. In experiments conducted on both real and synthetic data, our method outperforms existing state-of-the-art competitors.

Usefulness of Heat Map Explanations for Deep-Learning-Based Electrocardiogram Analysis

Usefulness of Heat Map Explanations for Deep-Learning-Based Electrocardiogram Analysis
Deep neural networks are complex machine learning models that have shown promising results in analyzing high-dimensional data such as those collected from medical examinations. Such models have the potential to provide fast and accurate medical diagnoses. However, the high complexity makes deep neural networks and their predictions difficult to understand. Providing model explanations can be a way of increasing the understanding of “black box” models and building trust. In this work, we applied transfer learning to develop a deep neural network to predict sex from electrocardiograms. Using the visual explanation method Grad-CAM, heat maps were generated from the model in order to understand how it makes predictions. To evaluate the usefulness of the heat maps and determine if the heat maps identified electrocardiogram features that could be recognized to discriminate sex, medical doctors provided feedback. Based on the feedback, we concluded that, in our setting, this mode of explainable artificial intelligence does not provide meaningful information to medical doctors and is not useful in the clinic. Our results indicate that improved explanation techniques that are tailored to medical data should be developed before deep neural networks can be applied in the clinic for diagnostic purposes.
