A lightweight transformer based multi task learning model with dynamic weight allocation for improved vulnerability prediction by Lan Liu, Zhanfa Hui, Guiming Chen, Tingfeng Cai, Chiyu Zhou

“…Traditional methods, such as single-task learning and ensemble approaches, often struggle with these challenges, particularly in detecting rare but critical vulnerabilities. To address this, we propose the MTLPT: Multi-Task Learning with Position Encoding and Lightweight Transformer for Vulnerability Prediction, a novel multi-task learning framework that leverages custom lightweight Transformer blocks and position encoding layers to effectively capture long-range dependencies and complex patterns in source code. …”

In-band network telemetry system based on high-performance packet processing architecture VPP by Tian PAN, Xingchen LIN, Jiao ZHANG, Tao HUANG, Yunjie LIU

“…An in-band network telemetry-based system was built based on VPP, a high-performance virtual network forwarding architecture/device, via reorganizing the data plane pipeline processing modules.Moreover, a network-wide telemetry mechanism was further developed via embedding source routing into the probe packet header for specifying the route of probe packets.Finally, a virtual network topology was built with performance evaluation conducted.The evaluation shows that the telemetry system can monitor the network in a high precision of every 0.13 ms, detecting link congestion in real time with minor performance overhead.Given virtual network devices have been widely deployed in data centers, the proposed scheme is expected to improve the reliability of multi-tenancy and network function virtualization in data centers via high-precision, network-wide virtual link telemetry coverage.…”
