• Abstract: This paper presents a probabilistic approach to analyzing copyright infringement disputes by formalizing relevant judicial principles within a coherent framework based on the random-worlds method. The approach provides a structured analysis of key evidentiary principles, with particular emphasis on the "inverse ratio rule"--a controversial doctrine adopted by some courts. Although this rule has faced significant criticism, a formal proof demonstrates its validity, provided it is properly defined. Additionally, the paper examines the heightened copyright risks posed by generative AI, highlighting how extensive access to copyrighted material by generative models increases the risk of infringement. Utilizing the probabilistic approach, the Near Access-Free (NAF) condition, previously proposed as a potential mitigation strategy, is evaluated. The analysis reveals that while the NAF condition mitigates some infringement risks, its justifiability and efficacy are questionable in certain contexts. These findings demonstrate how a rigorous probabilistic approach can advance our understanding of copyright jurisprudence and its interaction with emerging technologies.

  Causality provides rigorous theoretical support for ensuring that the underlying states can be uniquely recovered through identifiability. We revisit this research line and find that incorporating RL-specific context can reduce unnecessary assumptions in previous identifiability analyses for latent states. We propose a novel approach for general partially observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDPs) by replacing the complicated structural constraints in previous methods with two simple constraints for transition and reward preservation.

  We investigate potential randomization approaches that can complement current practices for copyright protection. This is motivated by the inherent ambiguity of the rules that determine substantial similarity in copyright precedents. Similar randomized approaches, such as differential privacy, have been successful in mitigating privacy risks.

VA3 amplifies the probability of generating infringing content on the sustained interactions with generative models. These findings highlight the potential risk of implementing probabilistic copyright protection in practical applications of text-to-image generative models.

  This paper offers a forward-looking, BA-focused review of algorithmic fairness. We first review the state-of-the-art research on sources and measures of bias, as well as bias mitigation algorithms. We then provide a detailed discussion of the utility-fairness relationship, emphasizing that the frequent assumption of a trade-off between these two constructs is often mistaken or short-sighted.

• Fairness Deconstructed: A Sociotechnical View of 'Fair' Algorithms in Criminal Justice [0.0]
  Machine learning researchers have developed methods for fairness, many of which rely on equalizing empirical metrics across protected attributes. I argue that much of the fair ML fails to account for fairness issues with underlying crime data. Instead of building AI that reifies power imbalances, I ask whether data science can be used to understand the root causes of structural marginalization.
