New Orleans ends its relationship with tech firm Palantir
I wonder if all they did was parallel reconstruction . None of what was in the article was doable or feasible. Predicting crime like they said they could is just probably another form of profiling but just automated instead . Figuring out influencers in a social network is hard from my experience as an undergraduate researcher and community detection can be done but to predict people’s behavior is quite another.  I wonder if any other customers of Palantir will have more fallout if people find out what they are doing ?<p><a href="http://leitang.net/presentation/Community%20Detection%20in%20Social%20Networks.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://leitang.net/presentation/Community%20Detection%20in%2...</a><p><a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/260598010_PREDICTING_INFLUENCE_IN_SOCIAL_NETWORKS" rel="nofollow">https://www.researchgate.net/publication/260598010_PREDICTIN...</a>
