Leveraging Flawed Tutorials for Seeding Large-Scale Web Vulnerability Discovery

The Web is replete with tutorial-style content on how to accomplish programming tasks. Unfortunately, even top-ranked tutorials suffer from severe security vulnerabilities, such as cross-site scripting (XSS), and SQL injection (SQLi). Assuming that these tutorials influence real-world software development, we hypothesize that code snippets from popular tutorials can be used to bootstrap vulnera...

Leveraging over prior knowledge for online learning of visual categories

Open ended learning is a dynamic process based on the continuous analysis of new data, guided by past experience. On one side it is helpful to take advantage of prior knowledge when only few information on a new task is available (transfer learning). On the other, it is important to continuously update an existing model so to exploit the new incoming data, especially if their informative conten...

Online Methods in Learning Theory

We present theoretical results on the performance of Bayesian online learning, namely predictive error bounds for the Bayes mixture and MDL with respect to a countable model class. We briefly discuss how assertions and improvements might be obtained for active learning. 1 Online Learning Proving loss bounds is an important issue in Statistical Learning Theory. Much work has been done in an offl...
