INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE Documentation Research & Training Centre 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560 059 SEMINAR-5 Data Privacy and Protection in Digital Age Abstract: Privacy is the ability of an individual or group to seclude themselves, or information about themselves, and thereby express themselves selectively. In this Digital age, privacy is a major issue as every aspect of our personal and professional lives have been invaded by the Information Technologies. With the advent of Big Data and Internet of Things, a large amount of data is collected from the users and then analysed to provide individual specific services and even going to the extent of predicting what they want in the future. There are privacy concerns regarding how Businesses and Internet websites collect and use the personal data to provide the users with content according to their individual needs. Here the privacy is not the only concern, data security and protection are also major issues. The domain of Privacy partially overlaps with Security and Protection. In this seminar, the various frameworks regarding data privacy and data protection shall be discussed along with the data protection laws that exist followed by the various data anonymization techniques to anonymize data. The issues and challenges and how they affect the users privacy will also be discussed. Speaker : Sagar Gajbe Date: 06-10-2016 Time: 2 p.m. Venue: DRTC Class Room (G-21), ISI Bangalore. All are cordially invited. Coordinator Dr. Biswanath Dutta -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Google Translator becomes more accurate Washington Post: Google Translate is getting really, really accurate <https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/innovations/wp/2016/10/03/google-transl…>. "Last week, Google launched an updated translation tool that utilizes sophisticated artificial intelligence to produce startlingly accurate language translations. While the tool has been used to successfully translate between English and Spanish, French and Chinese in a research setting, it’s only available currently to everyday users for Chinese to English translations. The new system, which uses deep machine learning to mimic the functioning of a human brain, is called the Google Neural Machine Translation system, or GNMT. To test the system, Google had human raters evaluate translations on a scale from 0 to 6. Translating from English to Spanish, the new Google tool’s translation was rated an average of 5.43; human translators earned an average of 5.5." === Extracted from ResearchBuzz newsletter of Tara dated 4th October 2016 Dr P Vyasamoorthy 30 Gruhalakshmi Colony, Secunderabad 500015 Telangana LL 040-27846631 / Mobile: 9490804278 <http://health.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/diagnostics/old-people-suff…> Disturbed to get a call from 85 year old Ramachandran (Safiluda) was beaten again by his second son, ganging up with his mother. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

India’s first e-book “State Of India’s Environment 2016: In figures
by Kiran Pandey 30 Sep '16

30 Sep '16

Dear Moderator, The members of this forum will find this annual book useful for their organisation. By adding this book to their organisation's collection, they will be creating their own library of data that is comparable and can be used for research and referral. *India’s first e-book “State Of India’s Environment 2016: In figures”* We are now in a time when data is overflowing; information is available from so many sources and so fast that sometimes we end up not making any sense of the happenings. So, processing data and information is the new way to communicate. And this annual report uses data as the messenger. It communicates key developments around us in easy to digest and visually appealing ways to understand fast. It demystifies complex issues through data series. The report has been organised into two broad sections: the key news of the year just gone by (April 2015-March 2016) in numbers and the next section is the state of key aspects related to environment. While the first section works as the digest for the last year and gives you the perspectives of developments in number, the second section is your data library for ever on key environmental aspects of the country. By adding this report to your e-collection, you are creating your own library of data that is comparable and can be used for research and referral. At a time when views are getting sold as news in high-decibel TV talk shows and newspaper edits, "State of India's Environment 2016: In Figures" showcases all the important facts and headline numbers that will help form an informed opinion on issues that matter in India Find more details here: http://www.downtoearth.org.in/reviews/state-of-india-s-environment-2016-in-… Kiran Pandey Programme Director – Library and Information Management Centre for Science and Environment New Delhi India India Environment Portal http://www.indiaenvironmentportal.org.in/ Follow On Twitter https://twitter.com/indiaenvportal Be our friend on Facebook http://ow.ly/GZsf <http://ow.ly/GZsfb> -- <http://www.downtoearth.org.in> -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Call for Participation in UNESCO Sponsored Capacity Building Workshop
by Jagtar Singh 30 Sep '16

30 Sep '16

*Call for Participation in the UNESCO Directed Media and Information Literacy Capacity Building Training Workshop for Youth-led Organizations in India at Punjabi University, Patiala from 17-19 October 2016.* Are you part of a youth-led organization? Is your organization membership-based? Then, this is for you. UNESCO, Punjabi University, Patiala and Media and Information Library Network of India (MILUNI) are planning a workshop at Punjabi University, Patiala for membership-based youth-led organizations. The workshop will focus on giving training to participating youth on a set of critical skills – comprehension, analysis, evaluation and production – to help them appreciate media messages and use media and information to their own advantage in life and work and bring about the required change in their environment. We shall take care of participants' boarding, lodging and travel expenses. Two people (one male and one female) will be invited from 30 youth organizations across India. This workshop is open to all youth organizations regardless of their areas of interest (environment, religion, sports, education, literacy, gender, human rights, inter-cultural dialogue, etc). Interested organizations (membership-based and youth-led) must be registered and get the approval of their boards that they would apply the Media & Information Literacy (MIL) strategies developed at the end of the workshop to their work. Selected organizations will be expected to present a short report (one page) on how they will apply MIL in their work. UNESCO will offer further opportunities to the participating organizations for implementation of MIL-related activities to work and training in Media & Information Literacy (MIL) MOOC. *Interested organizations should send an email to youthcb.india(a)yahoo.com <youthcb.india(a)yahoo.com> or call Dr. Jagtar Singh at 09855444785 or Dr. H. P. S. Kalra at 09855943338 latest by 03 October 2016.* *What is Media & Information Literacy and why it matters?* Media and Information Literacy emphasizes critical thinking and creative skills. Media and Information Literacy is defined by UNESCO as “the ability to access, analyze, evaluate and create media in a variety of forms”. It is about developing critical thinking and media production skills to promote global understanding. UNESCO promotes media literacy education through the development of reading, listening and visual decoding skills with the belief that all those components, combined, support life-long democratic citizenship. Interdisciplinary by nature, media and information literacy represents a necessary, inevitable and realistic response to the complex, ever-changing electronic environment and communication environment that surrounds us. *Media and Information Literacy and University Network of India (MILUNI)* is a non-profit organization working for the empowerment of students and youth through the promotion of media and information literacy. *MILUNI aims at:* - Developing media and information capacity in students and young people to create a general understanding and appreciation of youth issues; - Assisting students and youth (by using media and information) to work up to their full potential; - Encouraging media to include youth issues and perspectives in their contents by regularly providing them with stories and relevant information about young people; - Disseminating widely the best of the results of the youth work in various media forms, and - Facilitating exchange of experiences and views of young people as a way of enhancing intercultural dialogue.
