Causal Discovery in Semi-Stationary Time Series

Causal Discovery in Semi-Stationary Time Series

arXiv:2407.07291v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Discovering causal relations from observational time series without making the stationary assumption is a significant challenge. In practice, this challenge is common in many areas, such as retail sales, transportation systems, and medical science. Here, we consider this problem for a class of non-stationary time series. The structural causal model (SCM) of this type of time series, called the semi-stationary time series, exhibits that a finite number of different causal mechanisms occur sequentially and periodically across time. This model holds considerable practical utility because it can represent periodicity, including common occurrences such as seasonality and…

Microsoft is not done yet: more ads spotted in latest Windows 11 build – gHacks Tech News

Microsoft is not done yet: more ads spotted in latest Windows 11 build – gHacks Tech News

When is an ad an advertisement and not a recommendation? Microsoft clearly likes to use the term recommendation for what others may see as an advertisement. There are recommendations in the Start menu, Settings app, Lock screen, File Explorer, Get Help app, and other areas of the operating system already.  These are often not that useful. App recommendations in the Start menu are limited to Microsoft Store apps. Now, Microsoft is testing recommendations in the Microsoft Store app. If you never use the app, you won't be exposed to these. If you do, you may notice recommendations popping up when…

AI propaganda campaign in Rwanda has been pushing pro-Kagame messages – a dangerous new trend in Africa

AI propaganda campaign in Rwanda has been pushing pro-Kagame messages – a dangerous new trend in Africa

At the end of May 2024, several media outlets led by the journalist network Forbidden Stories released a set of reports titled “Rwanda Classified”. This reporting detailed evidence related to the suspicious death of Rwandan journalist and government critic John Williams Ntwali. The reports include additional details on Kigali’s efforts to silence critics. As a political scientist with a background studying digital disinformation and African politics, I work with the Media Forensics Hub, which monitors the internet for evidence of coordinated influence operations. Following the publication of Rwanda Classified, we identified at least 464 accounts that flooded online discussions of…

My partner and I opened our relationship, and I was surprised by how close I became with his girlfriend

My partner and I opened our relationship, and I was surprised by how close I became with his girlfriend

When my partner Adam asked what I thought of his girlfriend Leah coming out to visit for his birthday, I pragmatically decided to view it as the next step on my path. I'd read in "The Smart Girl's Guide to Polyamory" that one of the best ways to combat jealousy was to meet your metamour. Since she would be coming to visit for a week in August (a whole week straight!), I decided to reach out. And thus began the most texting-intensive relationship of my life.Indeed, it was actually a huge relief to text with Leah. Our exchanges were overtly…
