DOMINOES Glossary

Any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements

A natural person about whom a controller holds personal data and who can be identified, directly or indirectly, by reference to that personal data (GDPR)

Deep learning is a class of machine learning algorithms based on artificial neural networks with representation learning. It includes three modalities according to how learning is conducted:  supervised, semi-supervised or unsupervised. It have been applied to a wide scope of fields including

(Fake) News pieces which use stories that are tailored to and targeted at specific audiences, in order to reinforce what people believe describes their lives

(A portmanteau of "deep learning" and "fake") are synthetic media in which a person in an existing image or video is replaced with someone else's likeness. While the act of creating fake content is not new, deepfakes leverage powerful techniques from machine learning and artificial intelligence to manipulate or generate visual and audio content that can more easily deceive. The main machine learning methods used to create deepfakes are based on deep learning and involve training generative neural network architectures, such as autoencoders, or generative adversarial networks (GANs)

False or misleading content that is spread with an intention to deceive or secure economic or political gain, and which may cause public harm. Disinformation includes various forms of misleading content such as fake news, hoaxes, lies, half-truths and, also, artificially inflated engagement based on automated accounts, trolls, bots, fake profiles that spread and amplify social media posts

Social media account that has been hijacked or replicated and is operated by bots
