Developing Hands-on Labs for Source Code Vulnerability Detection with AI
As the role of information and communication technologies gradually increases in our lives, source code security becomes a significant issue to protect against malicious attempts. Furthermore, with the advent of data-driven techniques, there is now a growing interest in leveraging machine learning and natural language processing (NLP) as a source code assurance method to build trustworthy systems. Therefore, training our future software developers to write secure source code is in high demand. In this thesis, we propose a framework including learning modules and handson labs to guide future IT professionals towards developing secure programming habits and mitigating source code vulnerabilities at the early stages of the software development lifecycle. In this thesis, our goal is to design learning modules with a set of hands-on labs that will introduce students to secure programming practices using source code and log file analysis tools to predict/identify vulnerabilities. In a Secure Coding Education framework called (SeCodEd) we will (1) improve students' skills and awareness on source code vulnerabilities, detection tools, and mitigation techniques; (2) integrate concepts of source code vulnerabilities from Function, API, and library level to bad programming habits and practices; (3) leverage deep learning, NLP and static analysis tools for log file analysis to introduce the root cause of source code vulnerabilities.

Is Machine Learning Hard? A Guide to Getting Started
Machine learning is an advanced field that incorporates many aspects of mathematics, computer science, and coding. A career in machine learning typically requires a Master's of Science degree. The education and training involved in machine learning can require intense dedication, depth of knowledge, and attention to detail. You can get started with machine learning by learning coding languages, practicing fine-tuning algorithms, and paying close attention to artificial intelligence applications for products and services. Everything from the technology of a Tesla vehicle, Netflix's recommendation algorithms, c or speech-to-text recognition on your iPhone represents an innovation in machine learning. You can find information about machine learning from a breadth of free, accessible resources.

A Prescriptive Learning Analytics Framework: Beyond Predictive Modelling and onto Explainable AI with Prescriptive Analytics and ChatGPT
A significant body of recent research in the field of Learning Analytics has focused on leveraging machine learning approaches for predicting at-risk students in order to initiate timely interventions and thereby elevate retention and completion rates. The overarching feature of the majority of these research studies has been on the science of prediction only. The component of predictive analytics concerned with interpreting the internals of the models and explaining their predictions for individual cases to stakeholders has largely been neglected. Additionally, works that attempt to employ data-driven prescriptive analytics to automatically generate evidence-based remedial advice for at-risk learners are in their infancy. eXplainable AI is a field that has recently emerged providing cutting-edge tools which support transparent predictive analytics and techniques for generating tailored advice for at-risk students. This study proposes a novel framework that unifies both transparent machine learning as well as techniques for enabling prescriptive analytics, while integrating the latest advances in large language models. This work practically demonstrates the proposed framework using predictive models for identifying at-risk learners of programme non-completion. The study then further demonstrates how predictive modelling can be augmented with prescriptive analytics on two case studies in order to generate human-readable prescriptive feedback for those who are at risk using ChatGPT.
Bayesian Learning for Neural Networks: an algorithmic survey
Magris, Martin, Iosifidis, Alexandros
The last decade witnessed a growing interest in Bayesian learning. Yet, the technicality of the topic and the multitude of ingredients involved therein, besides the complexity of turning theory into practical implementations, limit the use of the Bayesian learning paradigm, preventing its widespread adoption across different fields and applications. This self-contained survey engages and introduces readers to the principles and algorithms of Bayesian Learning for Neural Networks. It provides an introduction to the topic from an accessible, practical-algorithmic perspective. Upon providing a general introduction to Bayesian Neural Networks, we discuss and present both standard and recent approaches for Bayesian inference, with an emphasis on solutions relying on Variational Inference and the use of Natural gradients. We also discuss the use of manifold optimization as a state-of-the-art approach to Bayesian learning. We examine the characteristic properties of all the discussed methods, and provide pseudo-codes for their implementation, paying attention to practical aspects, such as the computation of the gradients.

In the previous tutorial, I showed you how to make Handwritten word recognition. That's a challenging task that involves interpreting text written in handwriting. This task has various applications, including converting handwritten notes into digital text, transcribing historical documents, automating the grading of exams, etc. One of the critical challenges in handwritten sentence recognition is handwriting variability. People have different handwriting styles, and even the same person can have different handwriting styles at other times.
Practical Data Science for Roadway Professionals โ Official Site of the International Road Federation
With the recent advances in data science and artificial intelligence in every industry, including transportation infrastructure and highway operations, it is important for roadway professionals to learn the fundamental components of data science to implement them in their day-to-day practice. Contrary to the general belief, in order to understand and implement these tool and techniques in roadway construction, operations and management, no prior coding or computer programming experience is needed. The main goal of this online training is to introduce the fundamentals of practical data science relevant to transportation and roadway experts. Various aspects, such as the use of different data processing tools, data visualization, data mining and artificial intelligence will be discussed through online hands-on tutorials. Participants will be guided through various interactive course modules and hands-on tutorials to develop skills and knowledge to employ various data science tools on real-world example datasets.

Behavioural Reports of Multi-Stage Malware
Carpenter, Marcus, Luo, Chunbo
The extensive damage caused by malware requires anti-malware systems to be constantly improved to prevent new threats. The current trend in malware detection is to employ machine learning models to aid in the classification process. We propose a new dataset with the objective of improving current anti-malware systems. The focus of this dataset is to improve host based intrusion detection systems by providing API call sequences for thousands of malware samples executed in Windows 10 virtual machines. A tutorial on how to create and expand this dataset is provided along with a benchmark demonstrating how to use this dataset to classify malware. The data contains long sequences of API calls for each sample, and in order to create models that can be deployed in resource constrained devices, three feature selection methods were tested. The principal innovation, however, lies in the multi-label classification system in which one sequence of APIs can be tagged with multiple labels describing its malicious behaviours.
