[Corpora-List] Fully funded PhD Position in ML/NLP for Cybersecurity, Ireland

[Mohammed Hasanuzzaman]

Apologies for multiple posting
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
We invite applications for *fully funded PhD positions* under the Science
Foundation Ireland Centre for Research Training in Advanced Networks for
Sustainable Societies (ADVANCE CRT: http://advance-crt.cs.ucc.ie/). The
ADVANCE CRT is an interdisciplinary centre at the intersection of
information and communication technologies and society. We are motivated by
a society where ubiquitous, high-speed communication networks enable, and
increasingly dominate, our family, social and working lives. These networks
enable an ever-increasing range of human-to-machine and machine-to-machine
(M2M) communication applications in the Internet of Things. This expanding
hyper-connectivity will create new communication, sensing and control
services, and forms of interconnectivity and services between people and
Things in ways we cannot yet fully envisage. Our vision is to train the
next generation of researchers who will seek solutions to the technical and
societal challenges of global hyper-connectivity between large numbers of
People and Things. *The ADVANCE CRT aims at increasing the number of female
researchers *in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and
has strong targets for gender equality.

Considering the importance of cybersecurity in today’s world and sheer
amount of data we now produce each day on the web, there is an increasing
potential for substantial contribution in cybersecurity using machine
learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP) techniques. *I am
looking for candidate interested in topics related to Natural Language
Processing /Machine Learning/Deep Learning for CyberSecurity.* Below is a

 list of  *potential **topics* (however, I am open to other topics) for the
Phd position.

   1. Automatic Threat Intelligence Extraction from Unstructured Sources

   2. Source Code Vulnerability Analysis

   3. Phishing Identification in social Media and other platforms

   4. Vulnerability Exploit Prediction

   5. Cyber Event Forecasting by Discovering Signals from Web

   6. Automatic Identification of Indicators of Compromise

   7. Characterizing Activity on the Dark Web

   8. Incident Response Facilitation using Automatic Text Processing
