Speaker: Dr Ulf Kargén, LiU Due to its scalability, cost-effectiveness, and ability to uncover critical security bugs, fuzzing has become the de facto standard approach for automatic security testing. Today, many companies also stipulate fuzzing as a mandatory activity during development of security-critical software. Consequently, fuzzing has also received significant attention in academia lately. One area of fuzzing research that is still wanting, however, is fuzzing evaluation, measurement, and benchmarking. This makes it difficult to, for example, reason about why…

Find out more »Lunch seminar: Anomaly detection in radio networks and critically ill patients – similarities and differences in using ML
Abstract: Anomaly detection techniques are well-known in machine learning. Tools and methods like dynamically moving average, isolation forests or thresholds are used often. Although they are defined for general use, they often inhibit different results if used in computer-generated data or human-generated data. In this seminar, I will present the latest results from the associated project microHRV, where we use anomaly detection techniques to help critically ill patients (e.g. stroke) and to recognize events in radio networks (e.g. rain or…
