Measuring the size and severity of the integrated cyber attack surface across US county governments

Published on 2025-01-17 by @OXFORD

Abstract: AbstractLimited methodologies to measure, enumerate, aggregate, and evaluate the cyber attack surface of US county governments prevent the full estimation of the importance of local government cybersecurity to national resilience. Our study aims to address this gap. We further develop existing OSINT-based methodologies to measure the attack surface and assess the size and vulnerability of publicly accessible county infrastructures. By collecting data on 42 735 Internet-facing devices across 30[...]

Our summary: Study measures and evaluates cyber attack surface of US county governments to highlight importance of local government cybersecurity, showing variations in size, diversity, and vulnerability. Correlation trends with county population and risk quantification reveal impact on national cyber resilience.

An Integrative Review

Published on 2025-01-07 by Tarek Al-Rimawi, Michael Nadler @MDPI

Abstract: This study aims to identify the added value of smart city technologies in real estate development, one of the most significant factors that would transform traditional real estate into smart ones. In total, 16 technologies utilized at both levels have been investigated. The research followed an integrative review methodology; the review is based on 168 publications. The compiled results based on metadata analysis displayed the state of each technology&rsquo;s added values and usage in bo[...]

Our summary: Study identifies added value of smart city technologies in real estate development, reviews 16 technologies, categorizes added values based on real estate life cycle, and recommends implementation for stakeholders.

Geographic Adaptation of Pretrained Language Models

Published on 2024-04-22 by Valentin Hofmann, Goran Glava�, Nikola Ljube�i?, Janet Pierrehumbert, Hinrich Sch�tze @MIT

Abstract: While pretrained language models (PLMs) have been shown to possess a plethora of linguistic knowledge, the existing body of research has largely neglected extralinguistic knowledge, which is generally difficult to obtain by pretraining on text alone. Here, we contribute to closing this gap by examining geolinguistic knowledge, i.e., knowledge about geographic variation in language. We introduce geoadaptation, an intermediate training step that couples language modeling with geolocation predictio[...]

Our summary: Injecting geolinguistic knowledge into pretrained language models through geoadaptation. Outperforming existing models on geolocation prediction and language identification tasks. Retrofitting the representation space of PLMs for geographic variation in language.
