A key mechanism which detects when the brain needs an additional energy boost to support its activity has been identified in a study in mice and cells led by Prof Alexander Gourine and Dr Shefeeq Theparambil Shefeeq Theparambil UCL Neuroscience UCL Biosciences, in nature ucl.ac.uk/news/2024/jul/…

Learning “robust” code representations is hard as we often fail to capture useful and interesting code properties! We exploit code symmetries for learning program semantics @ #icml ‘24 (Spotlight paper): s2lab.cs.ucl.ac.uk/downloads/icml… Visit us Wed Sep 24 11:30am Hall C poster #1000

The SECAI Summer School program in Leuven cybersecurity-research.be/summer-school-… features 4 key pillars: foundational knowledge, selected expert topics, community building, and industry insights. See this year's breakdown of each pillar below:

Ethical challenges in cybersecurity conferences. Deeply disturbing and thanks ACM CCS 2025 for sharing this openly. This calls for action or we risk of devaluing (even more) any research: papers should be byproducts of true and honest advances, not mere numbers.

Three-year prison sentence for abusing generative AI to _create_ a ransomware sample. The piece doesn't clarify if there was a proven intent behind the creation or if he profited from its distribution, so I guess the sentence is _just_ for creating it. japannews.yomiuri.co.jp/society/crime-…
