Radial Spike and Slab Bayesian Neural Networks for Sparse Data in Ransomware Attacks

Jurijs Nazarovs, Jack W. Stokes, Melissa Turcotte +2

Ransomware attacks are increasing at an alarming rate, leading to large financial losses, unrecoverable encrypted data, data leakage, and privacy concerns. The prompt detection of…

Changepoint detection on a graph of time series

Karl L. Hallgren, Nicholas A. Heard, Melissa J. M. Turcotte

When analysing multiple time series that may be subject to changepoints, it is sometimes possible to specify a priori, by means of a graph, which pairs of time series are likely to…
