SPECIAL SESSION ON MACHINE LEARNING APPLICATIONS IN CYBER SECURITY
IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence (WCCI) 2020
​
International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN) 2020
​
19 - 24th July, 2020, Glasgow (UK)
AIM AND SCOPE
As the use of internet gains increasing dominance in our day to day life, the criminal
exploitation of cyberspace grows in correspondence. Cybercrimes are now a global problem
that affect many aspects of human life, making people more conscious about their personal
or business data. Consequently, cyber security is a field of science in rapid development.
Machine learning provides a variety of techniques that are applicable to problem solving
within many disciplines. The aim of this special session is to obtain an insight into the current
state of the practice of machine learning applications in addressing challenges faced in cyber
security.
Topics relevant to this session include, but are not limited to:
• Applications of machine learning in data encryption
• Applications of machine learning in the process of authentication
• Applications of machine learning in detection and prevention of network intrusion
• Applications of machine learning in digital security and social networks
• Applications of machine learning in detection and prevention of identity theft
• Applications of machine Learning in identification of malwares
• Applications of machine Learning in detection and prevention of phishing threats
• Applications of machine learning in information security
• Applications of machine learning in cyber-attack detection and prevention
• Application of machine learning in web server attacks
• Applications of machine learning in fraud detection
• Applications of machine learning in identity resolution
