Glass box and black box machine learning approaches to exploit compositional descriptors of molecules in drug discovery and aid the medicinal chemist by Robson, B, Cooper, R

“…If probabilistic methods were used in a complementary way with BB methods and demonstrated comparable predictive power, they would provide guidelines about what groups to include and avoid in next syntheses and quantify the relationships in probabilistic terms. These points are demonstrated by blind test comparison of two main types of BB methods and a probabilistic “Glass Box” (GB) method new outside of medicine, but which appears well suited to the above. …”

Cache refinement type for side-channel detection of cryptographic software by Jiang, Ke, Bao, Yuyan, Wang, Shuai, Liu, Zhibo, Zhang, Tianwei

“…It reveals several significant and effective enhancements with refined types, including bit-level granularity tracking, distinguishing different effects of variables, precise type inferences, and high scalability. (2) CaType is the first static analyzer for crypto libraries in consideration of blinding-based defenses. (3) From the perspective of implementation, CaType uses cache layouts of potential vulnerable control-flow branches rather than cache states to suppress false positives. …”
