Ti-Girl Power: American Utopianism in the Queer Superhero Text by Matt Yockey

“…This paper examines the ways in which artist-writer Jaime Hernandez engages with issues of national belonging in terms of ethnicity and gender in his 2012 superhero graphic novel God and Science: Return of the Ti-Girls. By presenting the adventures of a group of multi-racial female superheroes, Hernandez productively exploits the inherent social marginality of the superhero, conflating it with a comparable marginality of non-whites and women in American society. …”

Adversarial Drift Detection in Intrusion Detection System by Yaguan Qian, Xiaohui Guan

“…The recent intrusion detection systems based on machine learning generally assume that the intrusion traffic always satisfies stationary of statistics.However,this assumption is not always held when adversaries arbitrarily alter the distribution of traffic data,or develop new attack techniques,which may reduce the detection rate.To overcome this adversarial drift,a novel drift detection approach based on weighted Rényi distance was suggested.The experiment on KDD Cup99 shows that the weighted Rényi distance is able to perfectly detect the adversarial drift,and improve the intrusion detection rate by retraining the model.…”
