We are security researchers at Carnegie Mellon University's Software Engineering Institute, CERT division. I'm here today with Zach Kurtz, a data scientist attempting to use machine learning techniques to detect vulnerabilities and malicious code. /r/netsec, ask us anything! Posted: 21 Jun 2019 08:57 AM PDT Zach Kurtz (Statistics Ph.D., CMU 2014) is a data scientist with Carnegie Mellon University's Software Engineering Institute, CERT Division. Zach has developed new evaluation methodologies for open-ended cyber warning competitions, built text-based classifiers, and designed cyber incident data visualization tools. Zach's experience has ranged outside of the pure cybersecurity domain, with research experience in inverse reinforcement learning, natural language processing, and deepfake detection. Zach began his data science career at the age of 14 with a school project on tagging Monarch butterflies near his childhood home in rural West Virginia. Zach's most recent publicly available work might be of particular interest to /r/netsec subscribers. Edit: Thank you for the questions. If you'd like to see more of our work, or have any additional questions you can contact Rotem or Zach off of our Author's pages. submitted by /u/Rotem_Guttman [link] [comments]
