🎉 Congrats to NUS Computing Professor Chua Tat Seng for winning the Best Paper award at the prestigious ACM Multimedia Conference 2020!
The team presented a first of its kind symbolic music model that integrates pitch, rhythm and dynamics information at a note level, instead of representing music notes using pitch information. Symbolic music refers to music stored in a format that has explicit information such as note onsets and pitch. 🎶
The model forms the basis for a wide range of music tasks, such as music retrieval, genre classification, phrase completion, accomplishment assignment, and music generation.

The 17th SoC Term Project Showcase
A festive yet serious showcase of innovative student works. The biggest developer centric event with multiple tracks focusing on e3. [e3 - Education, Entrepreneurship and Employment] [http://bit.ly/prog17steps]
NUS Computing Assistant Professor Reza Shokri and his team developed the "Machine Learning Privacy Meter”, a tool that helps AI systems guard against data leakage.
Asst Prof Reza and his research collaborators, Mr Mihir Khandekar, Ms Chang Hongyan, Ms Aadyaa Maddi, and Mr Rishav Chourasia, took three years to develop the tool.

Tech News -National University of Singapore (NUS) researchers have developed a tool to safeguard against a new form of cyber attack that can recreate the data sets containing personal information
Can articifial intelligence help advance research in quantum physics? Associate Professor Stéphane Bressan explains how transfer learning can aid in solving a quantum many-body problem: finding the critical point where a system switches between two completely different states (e.g. when a liquid transitions to a gas).

Happy Computer Security Day! 💻 🔒DYK that the first cyberattack, the Morris worm, was accidentally launched 32 years ago in November 1988 by Robert Tappan Morris? This was before the World Wide Web was invented.
🌐 Morris, then a Cornell University graduate student, wanted to find out the size of the Internet, so he created a programme that would help him gauge how big it was, and launched it from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Thus, the world’s first computer worm was born. It was also the world’s first distributed denial of service (DDOS) attack.
📨 The Morris worm spread rapidly to computers operating on the Unix system. (Such worms don’t need a software as its host, so it was able to replicate itself easily.) About 10% of the computers connected to the nascent electronic network that existed then were hit. This included computers used by prestigious universities like Harvard and Stanford. The worm slowed down computers, made them unusable, delayed emails and business functions.
