2025 FuXi-Ocean: A Global Ocean Forecasting System with Sub-Daily Resolution
abstract
Accurate, high-resolution ocean forecasting is crucial for maritime operations and environmental monitoring. While traditional numerical models are capable of producing sub-daily, eddy-resolving forecasts, they are computationally intensive and face challenges in maintaining accuracy at fine spatial and temporal scales. In contrast, recent data-driven approaches offer improved computational efficiency and emerging potential, yet typically operate at daily resolution and struggle with sub-daily predictions due to error accumulation over time. We introduce FuXi-Ocean, the first data-driven global ocean forecasting model achieving six-hourly predictions at eddy-resolving 1/12° spatial resolution, reaching depths of up to 1500 meters. The model architecture integrates a context-aware feature extraction module with a predictive network employing stacked attention blocks. The core innovation is the Mixture-of-Time (MoT) module, which adaptively integrates predictions from multiple temporal contexts by learning variable-specific reliability , mitigating cumulative errors in sequential forecasting. Through comprehensive experimental evaluation, FuXi-Ocean demonstrates superior skill in predicting key variables, including temperature, salinity, and currents, across multiple depths.

2022 Deep Spatio-Temporal Method for ADHD Classification Using Resting-State fMRI
abstract
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common psychiatric disorder among young children. However, there is no accurate and efficient method to diagnose ADHD up to now, due to the complexity of the pathological mechanism and clinical symptoms. This paper aims to present a spatio-temporal method for classification of ADHD and Typical Developing Children (TDC) using Resting-State functional Magnetic (rs-fMRI). To extract the most discriminative features in both space and time dimensions, 3-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (3D-CNN) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) were respectively used to process 3D spatial and 1D temporal information in rs-fMRI. Before GRU, 1D filters with different scales were employed to capture significant features of different time intervals from temporal input. To evaluate proposed method, the 5-fold cross validation was employed using ADHD-200 global competition dataset. As a result, the average accuracy, sensitivity, specificity were 71.65 %, 68.00 % and 73.80 %, respectively. Experiment results show that our method performs better than existing methods, and our model not only has good generalization ability, but maintains a balance between sensitivity and specificity. We believe that our method can be used to build a more accurate automatic assistant diagnosis tool of ADHD.

2019 Five Years of the Right to be Forgotten
abstract
The "Right to be Forgotten" is a privacy ruling that enables Europeans to delist certain URLs appearing in search results related to their name. In order to illuminate the effect this ruling has on information access, we conducted a retrospective measurement study of 3.2 million URLs that were requested for delisting from Google Search over five years. Our analysis reveals the countries and anonymized parties generating the largest volume of requests (just 1,000 requesters generated 16% of requests); the news, government, social media, and directory sites most frequently targeted for delisting (17% of removals relate to a requester's legal history including crimes and wrongdoing); and the prevalence of extraterritorial requests. Our results dramatically increase transparency around the Right to be Forgotten and reveal the complexity of weighing personal privacy against public interest when resolving multi-party privacy conflicts that occur across the Internet. The results of our investigation have since been added to Google's transparency report.

2016 Remedying Web Hijacking: Notification Effectiveness and Webmaster Comprehension
abstract
As miscreants routinely hijack thousands of vulnerable web servers weekly for cheap hosting and traffic acquisition, security services have turned to notifications both to alert webmasters of ongoing incidents as well as to expedite recovery. In this work we present the first large-scale measurement study on the effectiveness of combinations of browser, search, and direct webmaster notifications at reducing the duration a site remains compromised. Our study captures the life cycle of 760,935 hijacking incidents from July, 2014--June, 2015, as identified by Google Safe Browsing and Search Quality. We observe that direct communication with webmasters increases the likelihood of cleanup by over 50% and reduces infection lengths by at least 62%. Absent this open channel for communication, we find browser interstitials---while intended to alert visitors to potentially harmful content---correlate with faster remediation. As part of our study, we also explore whether webmasters exhibit the necessary technical expertise to address hijacking incidents. Based on appeal logs where webmasters alert Google that their site is no longer compromised, we find 80% of operators successfully clean up symptoms on their first appeal. However, a sizeable fraction of site owners do not address the root cause of compromise, with over 12% of sites falling victim to a new attack within 30 days. We distill these findings into a set of recommendations for improving web security and best practices for webmasters.

2007 Spam double-funnel: connecting web spammers with advertisers
abstract
Spammers use questionable search engine optimization (SEO) techniques to promote their spam links into top search results. In this paper, we focus on one prevalent type of spam - redirection spam - where one can identify spam pages by the third-party domains that these pages redirect traffic to. We propose a five-layer, double-funnel model for describing end-to-end redirection spam, present a methodology for analyzing the layers, and identify prominent domains on each layer using two sets of commercial keywords. one targeting spammers and the other targeting advertisers. The methodology and findings are useful for search engines to strengthen their ranking algorithms against spam, for legitimate website owners to locate and remove spam doorway pages, and for legitimate advertisers to identify unscrupulous syndicators who serve ads on spam pages.
