What do Smartphone Predictive Text and Cybersecurity have in common?

Posted on by David Vassallo

Maybe the link between your smartphone keyboard and current machine learning research in cybersecurity is not apparent at first glance, but the technology behind both is extremely similar: both leverage deep learning architectures called Recurrent Neural Networks [RNNs], specifically a type of RNN called Long Short Term Memory [LSTM]. One of the main advantages of … Continue reading What do Smartphone Predictive Text and Cybersecurity have in common?
