Propaganda campaigns have long been used to influence public opinion via disseminating biased and/or misleading information. Despite the increasing prevalence of propaganda content on Internet, few attempts made by AI researchers analyze such content. We introduce task multimodal processing, where goal is automatically believe that this presents a long-term challenge and successful processing c...

In der öffentlichen Debatte wird Online-Videos aus dem Spektrum des radikalen Islam zugeschrieben, einen großen Einfluss auf junge Menschen auszuüben. Doch wie nehmen Muslim*innen und Nicht-Muslim*innen diese Videos tatsächlich wahr? Wie stark ihre Sicht die Inhalte von ihrem Religionsverständnis, ihrer sozialen Zugehörigkeit aktuellen politischen gesellschaftlichen Debatten in Deutschland beei...

We present an independent security evaluation of the AccuVote Optical Scan voting terminal (AV-OS). We identify a number of new vulnerabilities of this system which, if exploited maliciously, can invalidate the results of an election process utilizing the terminal. Furthermore, based on our findings an AV-OS can be compromised with off-the-shelf equipment in a matter of minutes even if the mach...

Leader election is an extensively studied problem in Ad hoc networks. In our study, we have implemented an extended idea of an existing leader election algorithm for energy saving to arbitrary topological changes. In this method, our focus is to reduce the number of leader election processes; to make it more energy efficient. Unlike the previous solutions, the algorithm proposes that each node ...

The Single Transferable Vote (STV) is a voting system used in some parts of Britain and Australia today. We model the voting system by randomly generating N candidates over [0,1], and assigning areas closest to them. As N increases, the probability that the STV election and the plurality election will produce the same result decreases. In single-winner elections candidates at .5 have the highes...
