Hello,

I'm looking for a housemate to share my place located in Catonsville. The apartment has large common areas, with free parking, laundry room inside the building, and it is just in front of the university shuttle stop and also public bus stop (Catonsville UMBC line, bus 37). It is very spacious.  I look for someone willing to live in a calm and friendly environment.

If you are interested email at jiochoa@umbc.edu or text me at 301 875 8696

We introduce AVScan2Vec, a sequence-to-sequence autoencoder that can ingest AV scan data, extract semantic meaning, and produce meaningful feature vectors for malware. AVScan2Vec is able to bypass several limitations of prior malware feature-extraction methods, while simultaneously showing noteworthy improvement in several relevant ML tasks. Our implementation of AVScan2Vec in combination with Dynamic Continuous Indexing is especially potent, enabling 10 nearest-neighbor lookup queries in ~16ms on a dataset containing over seven million malware samples. Automation has become increasingly more vital to the field of malware analysis due to manual effort being slow and costly. To improve common tasks such as classification, clustering, and nearest-neighbor lookup of malware, improving malware feature extraction has been a significant research focus. Many approaches rely on features that can only be obtained using prolonged analysis. Due to the enormous quantity and variety of malware, however, applying these feature extraction techniques to a production-size malware corpus would be infeasible. Other, more scalable feature-extraction methods are hindered by static obfuscation, restricted to a single file format, and/or limited in their capacity to identify higher-level malware features. Our work explores the under-recognized potential of antivirus (AV) scan data, which is relatively cheap to acquire and contains rich features.

RJ Joyce (joyce8@umbc.edu) is a PhD student at UMBC under the supervision of Dr. Charles Nicholas and Dr. Edward Raff. Presently, RJ works as a data scientist at Booz Allen Hamilton performing research at the intersection of malware analysis and machine learning. RJ is also a visiting lecturer at UMBC and is teaching the Principles of Computer Security course this semester.

Host: Alan T. Sherman, sherman@umbc.edu. Support for this event was provided in part by the National Science Foundation under SFS grant DGE-1753681.  The UMBC Cyber Defense Lab meets biweekly Fridays 12-1pm. All meetings are open to the public.  Upcoming CDL meetings: April 28, Roberto Yus (UMBC), Privacy; May 5, CSEE Research Day (ECS Atrium); May 12, Kia-Won-Tia von Wrex (UMBC), Cyberdawgs

2 females currently reside in the apartment. One is a graduate student at University of Baltimore, and the other is an undergrad (senior) student at UMBC.

A private room is available in Catonsville inside a 3BHK townhouse with a rent of $550 + utilities. You will be sharing the home with three other people. The space will be available from June until the end of August (when the lease ends). The room is medium-sized compared to the other two and gets a lot of light (image 13 from the below link). The common space is furnished with a couch, TV, and a dining table.

The Catonsville line bus stop is a 30-second walk from the front door. This stop also serves the MTA 37 route making it convenient to get around. There is a gas station and a liquor shop near the bus stop for any quick pickups. Frederick Road is also just a block away, where you'll find supermarkets, barbers, bars, and restaurants.

The room requires a security deposit of $600 which you'll get back at the end of 3 months. You will not be part of the home lease. You can always add your name to the BGE account if you need address proof.
