Provenance graph generation for intrusion detection by Lim, Janesse Ziyi

“…Recent studies have highlighted the potential of provenance graphs in intrusion detection, showcasing their ability to achieve higher detection accuracy and lower false alarm rates compared to conventional system-call based methods. In this study, we aim to validate these findings by generating our own benign and malicious user scenarios. …”

Translational tilings by a polytope, with multiplicity by Robins, Sinai., Shiryaev, Dmitry., Gravin, Nick.

“…Such a covering of Euclidean space by a discrete set of translations is called a k-tiling. The investigation of simple tilings by translations (which we call 1-tilings in this context) began with the work of Fedorov [5] and Minkowski [15], and was later extended by Venkov and McMullen to give a complete characterization of all convex objects that 1-tile Rd. …”
