SUMMARY:Presentation: Beyond the CVSS: Leveraging XGBoost to Filter Vulnerability Noise (hybrid/Boston)
DESCRIPTION:Register now\n\n\n\n\nThis talk will explore the intersection of machine learning and vulnerability management\, focusing on how the XGBoost algorithm can be leveraged to predict the exploitability of Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs). While frontier LLMs are currently revolutionizing vulnerability discovery — such as autonomously identifying zero-days in complex codebases — lightweight ML models remain the critical backbone for enterprise risk prioritization. \n\n\n\nThe presentation will cover the practical methodology of building an exploitability classifier\, the statistical challenges of handling highly imbalanced security datasets where actual exploits are rare\, and how these different AI approaches complement each other in a modern AppSec pipeline. \n\n\n\nThis talk is based on a 2024 research paper called Leveraging XGBoost Machine Learning Algorithm for Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) Exploitability Classification.

SUMMARY:Khoury PhD Town Hall (hybrid/Boston)
DESCRIPTION:Please join Amal Ahmed\, professor and Associate Dean of Graduate Programs\, Kellie Melchin\, Assistant Dean of Graduate Administration\, Laura Adrien\, Assistant Director of PhD Student Services\, and Pete Morency\, Graduate Programs Coordinator for the Spring 2026 PhD Town Hall on Monday\, 23 February from 1:30-2:30pm in person in WVH 366 or virtually on Teams. \n\n\n\nThis event is an opportunity for the PhD community to come together to learn about College initiatives and goals\, share information\, increase transparency\, and provide another platform for feedback.  \n\n\n\nWhat’s on your mind? Please take a moment to share your feedback as we prepare this semester’s Town Hall agenda and check out topics from our previous Town Halls on the PhD Resource Center.
