Fung will discuss two research problems in authorship and malware anal yses and a new project in neuroscience. (1) Given an anonymous e-mail or s ome tweets\, can we identify the author or infer the author's characterist ics based on his/her writing styles? A representation learning method for authorship analysis and a live software demonstration will be presented. ( 2) Assembly code analysis is one of the critical processes for mitigating the exponentially increasing threats from malicious software. However\, it is a manually intensive and time-consuming process even for experienced r everse engineers. An effective and efficient assembly code clone search en gine can greatly reduce the effort of this process. Prof. Fung鈥檚 award-win ning assembly clone search engine will be described. (3) His steam has rec ently started a new collaborative research project with a neuroscience tea m at 9I制作厂免费 to study stress and memory seeking to address an interesting r esearch problem that will be discussed. The potential of machine learning will be examined in that context. If time permits\, the talk will cover th e new online cybersecurity certificate offered by the School of Informatio n Studies.\n\nBio:\n\nDr. Benjamin Fung is a Canada Research Chair in Data Mining for Cybersecurity\, a Full Professor of School of Information Stud ies (SIS) at 9I制作厂免费\, and an Associate Editor of IEEE Transacti ons on Data and Engineering (TKDE) and Elsevier Sustainable Cities and Soc iety (SCS). He received a Ph.D. degree in computing science from Simon Fra ser University in 2007. Collaborating closely with the national defense\, law enforcement\, transportation\, and healthcare sectors\, he has publish ed over 140 refereed articles that span across the research forums of data mining\, machine learning\, privacy protection\, and cybersecurity with o ver 13\,000 citations. A report from Stanford University identified him to be among the top 2% scientists worldwide. His data mining works in crime investigation and authorship analysis have been reported by media\, includ ing New York Times\, BBC\, CBC\, etc. Dr. Fung is an Associate Member of M ILA and a licensed professional engineer in software engineering.\n\nSee h is research website http://dmas.lab.mcgill.ca/fung for more information.\n DTSTART:20220921T163000Z DTEND:20220921T180000Z LOCATION:Rm. 106\, Peel 3661\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 1X1\, 3661 rue Peel SUMMARY:School of Information Studies Research Seminar Series: Machine Lear ning for Cybersecurity and Neuroscience URL:/sis/channels/event/school-information-studies-res earch-seminar-series-machine-learning-cybersecurity-and-neuroscience-34178 7 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
