In this episode, I interview Ruthann Anderson, CEO of CAPCA (California Association of Pest Control Advisors). Ruthann explains that CAPCA represents licensed PCAs (Pest Control Advisors) who she describes as “plant doctors,” often recommending non-chemical solutions such as irrigation changes, soil sampling, and nutrition adjustments before turning to pesticides. They advise across agriculture, turf, ornamental, and urban environments, and CAPCA focuses on statewide education and advocacy to support the profession. She discusses challenges like public perception and inconsistent enforcement in the past. A major example is the BeeWhere program, which CAPCA helped modernize to improve communication between beekeepers and pesticide applicators to reduce bee losses, showing how collaboration across groups leads to better outcomes.We also discuss the complexity of pest management, including public health issues like rat infestations, and the misconception that agriculture uses chemicals carelessly. Ruthann mentions grant-funded work documenting over 200 examples of PCAs choosing non-chemical approaches, which CAPCA plans to publish.We also dive into United Ag's mission to transform healthcare in agriculture: simplifying access, reducing costs, and putting empathy first with zero-copay clinics in rural communities. Ruthann highlights how thoughtful decisions, whether in farming or healthcare, lead to better outcomes, and she shares how CAPCA members can leverage United Ag's network for reliable health coverage.CAPCA: https://capca.com/Kirti Mutatkar, President and CEO of UnitedAg. Reach me at kmutatkar@unitedag.org, www.linkedin.com/in/kirtimutatkarUnitedAg website - www.unitedag.orgUnitedAg Health and Wellness Centers - https://www.unitedag.org/health-benefits/united-agricultural-benefit-trust/health-centers/Episode Contributors - Ruthann Anderson, Kirti Mutatkar, Dave Visaya, Rhianna MaciasThe episode is also sponsored by Brent Eastman Insurance Services Inc. - https://brenteastman.comBlue Shield of California - https://www.blueshieldca.comElite Medical - https://www.elitecorpmed.comGallagher - https://www.ajg.com/SAIN Medical https://sainmedical.com/MDI Network - https://www.mdinetworx.com/about-us

Winter ball news includes Javy not only playing for LBPRC but also buying a AA semi-pro team, and the league rebranding in a way that makes Patti think she knows more Spanish than she actually does (El rebranding,” “La Pro”). And how about that Little Machete? More white guys got manager gigs, but one is on his way to being bilingual as Albernaz adds some Baltimore-ese to his native Mass.

Shilling Attacks on Recommender Systems

In this episode of Data Skeptic's Recommender Systems series, Kyle sits down with Aditya Chichani, a senior machine learning engineer at Walmart, to explore the darker side of recommendation algorithms. The conversation centers on shilling attacks—a form of manipulation where malicious actors create multiple fake profiles to game recommender systems, either to promote specific items or sabotage competitors. Aditya, who researched these attacks during his undergraduate studies at SPIT before completing his master's in computer science with a data science specialization at UC Berkeley, explains how these vulnerabilities emerge particularly in collaborative filtering systems. From promoting a friend's ska band on Spotify to inflating product ratings on e-commerce platforms, shilling attacks represent a significant threat in an industry where approximately 4% of reviews are fake, translating to $800 billion in annual sales in the US alone. The discussion delves deep into collaborative filtering, explaining both user-user and item-item approaches that create similarity matrices to predict user preferences. However, these systems face various shilling attacks of increasing sophistication: random attacks use minimal information with average ratings, while segmented attacks strategically target popular items (like Taylor Swift albums) to build credibility before promoting target items. Bandwagon attacks focus on highly popular items to connect with genuine users, and average attacks leverage item rating knowledge to appear authentic. User-user collaborative filtering proves particularly vulnerable, requiring as few as 500 fake profiles to impact recommendations, while item-item filtering demands significantly more resources. Aditya addresses detection through machine learning techniques that analyze behavioral patterns using methods like PCA to identify profiles with unusually high correlation and suspicious rating consistency. However, this remains an evolving challenge as attackers adapt strategies, now using large language models to generate more authentic-seeming fake reviews. His research with the MovieLens dataset tested detection algorithms against synthetic attacks, highlighting how these concerns extend to modern e-commerce systems. While companies rarely share attack and detection data publicly to avoid giving attackers advantages, academic research continues advancing both offensive and defensive strategies in recommender systems security.
