Policy-based Automated Compliance Checking

Under the GDPR requirements and privacy-by-design guidelines, access control for personal data should not be limited to a simple role-based scenario. For the processing to be compliant, additional attributes, such as the purpose of processing or legal basis, should be verified against an established data processing agreement or policy.

DAEMA: Denoising Autoencoder with Mask Attention

Missing data is a recurrent and challenging problem, especially when using machine learning algorithms for real-world applications. For this reason, missing data imputation has become an active research area, in which recent deep learning approaches have achieved state-of-the-art results. We propose DAEMA: Denoising Autoencoder with Mask Attention.

Estimating Expected Calibration Errors

Uncertainty in probabilistic classifiers predictions is a key concern when models are used to support human decision making, in broader probabilistic pipelines or when sensitive automatic decisions have to be taken.
Studies have shown that most models are not intrinsically well calibrated, meaning that their decision scores are not consistent.

A Survey of Maturity Models in Data Management

Maturity models are helpful business tools that refine and develop how organizations conduct their businesses and benchmark their maturity status against a scale or with industry peers. They serve to prioritize the actions for improvement better and control the progress in reaching the target maturity stage.
