... Couldn't a user provide their own keystrokes, mouse movements, etc and fine-tune a personalised model on their own system?
this would simply be personalization, not behavioral prediction. all of the behavioral prediction models are based on statistics; you need a sufficient sample size to make inferences from the data. i don't know of any methods that work with a sample size of 1. if you look at open source projects for behavioral modeling and prediction, you see they all use large datasets to build the models. E.g. https://github.com/numenta/nupic, https://github.com/numenta/nupic.core
But wouldn't it be _better_ to have this data out in the public than held privately by marketing and military organisations?
i am not convinced it would be better: consider being a victim of identity theft. should you just post your personal info out in the clear, knowing that some are using it already? no, that'd just make the problem worse. same with an open source open data privacy invasion system: it's still privacy invasive and detrimental! there are some uses of technology that just SHOULD NOT BE. i remain open to changing my mind, however :) best regards, -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iNUEAREKAH0WIQRBwSuMMH1+IZiqV4FlqEfnwrk4DAUCYIboW18UgAAAAAAuAChp c3N1ZXItZnByQG5vdGF0aW9ucy5vcGVucGdwLmZpZnRoaG9yc2VtYW4ubmV0NDFD MTJCOEMzMDdEN0UyMTk4QUE1NzgxNjVBODQ3RTdDMkI5MzgwQwAKCRBlqEfnwrk4 DKbcAQDIJWz/Rj+ioyaAQYn9DLCO0TrBKqQWUihx+NjRIDB+QQEAhNLwq8LaFRjl UGEvbxtxybfvJE10tHhw/Z+tk8Ls8O0= =D/ZQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
