Guangli Wu – Video Summarization – Best Researcher Award

Guangli Wu – Video Summarization

prof Dr. Guangli Wu  distinguished academic and researcher in the field  Video summarization.  The existence of software vulnerabilities will cause serious network attacks and information leakage problems. Timely and accurate detection of vulnerabilities in software has become a research focus on the security field. Most existing work only considers instruction-level features, which to some extent overlooks certain syntax and semantic information in the assembly code segments, affecting the accuracy of the detection model. In this paper, we propose a binary code vulnerability detection model based on multi-level feature fusion. The model considers both word-level features and instruction-level features. In order to solve the problem that traditional text embedding methods cannot handle polysemy, this paper uses the Embeddings from Language Models (ELMo) model to obtain dynamic word vectors containing word semantics and other information. Considering the grammatical structure in the assembly code segment, the model randomly embeds the normalized assembly code segment to represent it. Then the model uses bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) to extract word-level sequence features and instruction-level sequence features respectively.
