Massive "dumpster fire" — University of Sydney professors were caught red-handed plagiarizing and violating intellectual property rights in a big scandal. Details including proof, university acknowledging the violation, and regulator involvement: https://scottgraffius.com/blog/files/intellectual-property-2016-to-date.html | #USYD

The University of Sydney professors' conduct — blatant plagiarism and violating intellectual property rights — constitutes behavior that was disgraceful, unethical, immoral, unprofessional, and illegal. Proof including #USYD admitting to the plagiarism: https://scottgraffius.com/blog/files/intellectual-property-2016-to-date.html

This December, the Faculty of Engineering at #USyd 🇦🇺 is delighted to welcome Prof. Shafi Goldwasser, who will deliver a Dean's Lecture on "Constructing Trust: A Cryptographic Tool Kit!"

Abstract: For decades now cryptographic tools and models have at their essence transformed technology platforms controlled by worst case adversaries to trustworthy platforms. This talk will describe how interactive proofs and cryptographic modeling can be used to build trust in legal domains and various phases of the machine learning pipelines, including verification of LLM outputs.

🕒 Wednesday, Dec 10
3:00—5:00pm
(includes lecture and networking)

📍Eastern Avenue Auditorium (F19)
