Self-Verifying Anomaly Detection using Explainable AI for Cybersecurity of DER Networks
ExCYDER framework self-verifies anomaly detection alerts for DER power grids using LightGBM and SHAP, reaching over 98% detection accuracy.
The paper presents ExCYDER, an explainable AI anomaly detection framework for Distributed Energy Resource networks that combines LightGBM with SHAP to validate whether each model decision aligns with its feature-attribution evidence. On a realistic DNP3 dataset it achieved over 98% detection accuracy, 14.5 ms SHAP latency per alert, and confidence deviation within 5%. The self-verifying mechanism distinguishes coherent from inconsistent alerts, improving interpretability and auditability for DER-focused security operations centers.
Jensen Huang explains why Nvidia will grow an astounding 70% next year
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang reiterated at a Goldman Sachs conference that revenue could grow 70% year-over-year next year, reaching roughly $680 billion.
Speaking at the Goldman Sachs Communicopia + Technology conference, Huang reaffirmed guidance of about 70% revenue growth next year, implying roughly $680 billion after an expected ~$400 billion this fiscal year. He cited the Grace-Blackwell system (36 Grace CPUs with 72 Blackwell GPUs) experiencing 27% month-over-month order growth and claimed $100 billion in revenue-generating contracts at companies Nvidia invests in. Huang argued Nvidia underpins models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google and tracks global data center capacity, while dismissing concerns about circular deals and competition from hyperscalers, Cerebras, and Etched.
Target leakage, not model class, explains reported accuracy in survey-based cardiovascular screening: a leakage-tiered audit of glass-box and tabular foundation models
Audits of 10 classifiers on BRFSS show target leakage, not model class, drives the reported 0.89 AUROC in survey-based cardiovascular screening.
The study benchmarks ten model classes, including glass-box and tabular foundation models, for prevalent myocardial infarction on 442,067 respondents of the 2022 BRFSS across five feature tiers of decreasing leakage risk. Removing two post-diagnostic features costs every model 0.049-0.051 AUROC and collapses performance into a 0.0045-wide band, and the explainable boosting machine matches all alternatives within 0.005 while scoring roughly 104x faster than the strongest foundation model. Frozen models transport within 0.002 AUROC to 2023 data; the authors conclude evaluation practice and feature sets, not model capacity, are the binding constraint.
'I Saw a Shiny Thing': Cop Explains Why He Used License Plate Reader to Stalk Woman
Body camera footage shows Florida officer Lamar Roman used DMV databases and ALPR cameras to stalk a woman; dozens of Flock misuse cases surfaced.
404 Media published body camera footage showing the investigation into officer Lamar Roman, who met a woman on the set of Apple TV's Bad Monkey, then illegally queried DMV databases and placed her plate on an ALPR hot list. He nearly caused a head-on collision while following her and illegally pulled her over, and was later arrested in front of his home. Flock's CEO said the system has caught many abusive officers, and the Washington Post found at least 50 misuse incidents; Roman used Turing's Guardian ALPR system.
