Article Synopsis
  • Research shows that search engine algorithms, like Bing's, don't typically expose users to unreliable websites.
  • Most interactions with unreliable sources happen when users specifically search for those sites, which is a very small part of overall searches.
  • This indicates that user preferences play a significant role in engaging with unreliable information, rather than the algorithms themselves.

Article Synopsis
  • Differentially private synthetic datasets help people share data while keeping personal information safe, which is important in areas like health care and charity work.
  • The study looks at how well synthetic data can work instead of real data in machine learning, checking which methods are best for creating useful and fair data.
  • It finds that a specific type of synthetic data (marginal-based) is better than another type (GAN-based) for training machine learning models, showing that it can be just as good as using real data.
