2008-10-08 Data mining against terrorism does not work
Oh shock! CNet News reported yesterday that according to a
report by the US National Research Council, "automated identification
of terrorists through data mining or any other mechanism is neither
feasible as an objective nor desirable as a goal of technology
development efforts. Inevitable false positives will result in
ordinary, law-abiding citizens and businesses being incorrectly
flagged as suspects."
Who would've suspected such a shocking revelation?
- Bayes bites
- Datamining is for
dogs
- That myth was
already busted
- Photography won't
help either
Yes indeed, who would've suspected.
