[Informatics] Fwd: Algorithmic fallibility, structured streaming, convolutional sequence-to-sequence learning + more

As the American psychologist and economist Herbert Simon once pointed out, ‘in an information rich world, attention becomes a scarce resource’. This applies to organisations as much as it does to individuals.
