An Efficient Detection of Malware by Naive Bayes Classifier Using GPGPU

Due to continuous increase in the number of malware (according to AV-Test institute total ~8 x 10^8 malware are already known, and every day they register ~2.5 x 10^4 malware) and files in the computational devices, it is very important to design a system which not only effectively but can also efficiently detect the new or previously unseen malware to prevent/minimize the damages. Therefore, this paper presents a novel group-wise approach for the efficient detection of malware by parallelizing the classification using the power of GPGPU and shown that by using the Naive Bayes classifier the detection speed-up can be boosted up to 200x. The investigation also shows that the classification time increases significantly with the number of features.

Tone Biased MMR Text Summarization

Text summarization is an interesting area for researchers to develop new techniques to provide human like summaries for vast amounts of information. Summarization techniques tend to focus on providing accurate representation of content, and often the tone of the content is ignored. Tone of the content sets a baseline for how a reader perceives the content. As such being able to generate summary with tone that is appropriate for the reader is important. In our work we implement Maximal Marginal Relevance [MMR] based multi-document text summarization and propose a naive model to change tone of the summarization by setting a bias to specific set of words and restricting other words in the summarization output. This bias towards a specified set of words produces a summary whose tone is same as tone of specified words.
