A Developmental Approach to Learning Causal Models for Cyber Security

To keep pace with our adversaries, we must expand the scope of machine learning and reasoning to address the breadth of possible attacks. One approach is to employ an algorithm to learn a set of causal models that describes the entire cyber network and each host end node. Such a learning algorithm would run continuously on the system and monitor activity in real time. With a set of causal model...

Editorial Perspective

It has become a somewhat popular academic exercise to question a newly accepted standard of care by comparing it to a less complicated and more historic predecessor. This attempt by Al Humadi of performing a meta-analysis of a technical aspect of laminoplasty, namely, if screw and plate fixation improves outcomes, follows in this vein. The results presented were met with significant questions b...

Editorial: A Perspective on Tinnitus

0 ne of the more baffling aspects of tinnitus has always been the lack of a clear relation between the patient's apparent distress and such perceived measures of tinnitus character and strength as pitch and loudness. Patients whose tinnitus pitch and loudness judgments are similar often differ widely in the extent to which the tinnitus bothers them in daily living . In this issue of JAAA, autho...

Fruits: A Developmental Perspective.

Embryonic development in many angiosperms occurs concomitantly with the development of the ovary into a specialized organ, the fruit, which provides a suitable environment for seed maturation and often a mechanism for the dispersa1 of mature seeds, as Darwin observed. Despite centuries of intensive genetic selection of agriculturally valuable fruit, we still lack most information about how frui...
