Researchers in the US have used machine learning techniques to study the GDPR privacy policies of over a thousand representative websites based in the EU. They found that 97% of the sites studied failed to comply with at least one requirement of the European Union’s 2018 regulatory framework, and that they complied least of all with regulatory requirements around the practice of ‘user profiling.’ The study is titled “Automated Detection of GDPR Disclosure Requirements in Privacy Policies using Deep Active Learning,” and comes from three researchers at the University of Virginia.
AI Researchers Estimate 97% Of EU Websites Fail GDPR Privacy Requirements- Especially User Profiling
University of Virginia scientists recently uncovered evidence that a little-known hormone may help prevent severe COVID-19, and the compound – called adiponectin – is suddenly in the spotlight. As research continues to see how well it works, there’s no need to wait: “Boosting adiponectin is one of the best things you can do for yourself, especially if you’re hoping to lose weight,” says Columbia University-trained integrative physician Dr.
A recent working paper from the National Bureau of Economic Research shows, when small businesses experience paid family leave, they actually tend to love it. The research from experts out of Columbia, Stanford, and the University of Virginia exploits the fact that different states offer different benefits. A few like New Jersey and New York have already been offering workers paid family leave for a few years now.
The University of Virginia and Stanford are working on a new approach for brain surgery. If approved, it would allow for a noninvasive way to remove fault brain circuits. PING uses low-intensity, focused ultrasound waves. It then destroys only the cells causing the problem, leaving others unattached, and the skull without cracks.
Researchers at the University of Virginia School of Medicine have helped to create a noninvasive way to remove diseased cells from the brain without a scalpel. According to a release, this method can remove faulty brain circuits, allowing doctors to treat various neurological diseases, such as epilepsy, without the need for conventional brain surgery.
Researchers at the University of Virginia School of Medicine, with help from researchers at Stanford University, have developed a new way to treat neurological diseases without normally invasive brain surgery.
(Editorial) Academic freedom isn’t some new concept in this country. In 1819, however, when former President Thomas Jefferson founded the University of Virginia, his was a radical notion. “This institution will be based on the illimitable freedom of the human mind. For here we are not afraid to follow truth wherever it may lead, nor to tolerate any error so long as reason is left free to combat it,” Jefferson said. Take a moment to digest Jefferson’s words.
Researchers at the University of Virginia have developed a way to operate on the brain - without a scalpel. UVA researcher Kevin Lee has pioneered a new technology called PING -- a noninvasive way to target and destroy problematic clumps of brain cells. It could be used to treat conditions such as epilepsy.
(Commentary) In 2018, the Innocence Project at the University of Virginia School of Law took my case and submitted a pardon application to then-Gov. Terry McAuliffe. After a few years of hard work by my attorneys, Gov. Ralph Northam granted me an absolute pardon in August on the grounds of innocence.
The law schools sending the most recent law graduates to top 10 firms were: 2; The University of Virginia School of Law, with 10.39% of recent alumni at top 10 firms.
The University of Virginia is launching a program designed to create a more equitable Virginia through local government action. Through a combination of data, conversations, and guest speakers, more than a dozen local governments are represented at the Inaugural Equity Cohort, which has a vision of improving the commonwealth.
To strengthen the early warning system, the health department is deploying more than two dozen of these wastewater monitoring sites across the state, the University of Virginia’s Biocomplexity Institute reported in its latest update, although it’s not clear where these systems will be stationed.
Spencer, Kessler, Cantwell and other white supremacists found liable in deadly Unite the Right rally
For 16 days, jurors listened to arguments inside a red brick federal courthouse a mile from the University of Virginia’s Rotunda, where four years ago white supremacists marched with torches and chanted “Jews will not replace us.”
The events surrounding Aug. 11-12, 2017, saw white nationalists and supremacists marching through Charlottesville and the University of Virginia campus chanting, “Jews will not replace us,” “You will not replace us” and “Blood and soil,” a phrase evoking Nazi philosophy on ethnic identity.
The case centered on leaders of the “alt-right” rally in August 2017 that featured mobs chanting “Jews will not replace us” while encircling counter-protesters on the University of Virginia campus, wielding and in some cases throwing burning tiki torches as they marched.
Hundreds of white nationalists descended on Charlottesville for the Unite the Right rally on Aug. 11 and 12, 2017, ostensibly to protest city plans to remove a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee. During a march on the University of Virginia campus, white nationalists chanted “Jews will not replace us,” surrounded counterprotesters and threw tiki torches at them.
Kim Kirschnick never aspired to mascot fame. Becoming the mounted Cavalier, the University of Virginia’s gallant rider, who kicks off every football game racing into Scott Stadium atop his trusty steed, Sabre, wasn’t exactly a lifelong calling. But when the University needed a good horseman to take on the role of what’s affectionately dubbed “Cavman,” the veteran polo player obliged. Twenty years on, it’s been a wild ride.
(Co-written by Brad Wilcox, director of the National Mattiage Project at UVA) For many of us, the holidays offer a time of reflection. We look back at the year that’s passed and ahead to the year to come. Some ask a simple question: Am I happy? That appears to be a more difficult question for liberals than for conservatives. It’s a puzzling but well-established finding: Conservatives are more likely than liberals to report they are happy. But why are conservatives more likely to say they’re happier? And how can liberals live happier lives?
Teams from UVA and the University of Florida recently dove into the powerful inner workings of fish schools. Scientists know so far that dozens to millions of fish assemble in these formations as predator deterrents. Schools also allow for speedy and streamlined movement. The research groups reproduced a group of trout-like swimmers, using a fluid dynamics computer program. Their aim was to further uncover why fish have evolved this interesting phenomenon.
