PEDES: I DON'T WANT TO SPREAD FALSE INFORMATION. Anyone with technical expertise is welcome to try and give info about this stuff. We do know for a fact Aleksandar and the other Dominion employees nuked their LinkedIn and Dominion association immediately after they started getting attention. But whether they had anything to do with Scorecard is not actually known.

This ain’t it chief. The poster doesn’t know what she’s talking about. This is just a machine learning algorithm to deal with a data particularly (needle in a haystack basically).

Here’s one I’ve heard of: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AdaBoost

And you’ll note that if you read about boosting in general, the original post is wrong on the face about this being a unique boosting algorithm. Researchers tend to oversell the novelty of their findings.

So Alexsandar Lazarevic's work was quite mundane/routine, is what you're saying?

No way, it seems pretty exciting research for working on voting machines, but it is the nature of machine learning research that you get a lot of similar stuff that are really incremental.

I peeked his google scholar because I was curious and some of his papers are in intrusion detection systems, so that actually makes some sense that he’s a security dude there.
