The Case for Learned Index Structures
, 2018 Indexes are models: a B-Tree-Index can be seen as a model to map a key to the position of a record within a sorted array, a Hash-Index as a model to map a key to a position of a record within an unsorted array, and a BitMap-Index as a model to indicate ...

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.A study of louse flies in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, and Ireland found 212 different interactions between Hippoboscidae and their hosts, of which 70 were previously unrecorded. No louse flies were found on aquatic species of birds. Host‐switching to gulls (Laridae) has occurred during a period in which these species have started relying on ...

Generic Black-Box End-to-End Attack Against State of the Art API Call Based Malware Classifiers
, 2018 In this paper, we present a black-box attack against API call based machine learning malware classifiers, focusing on generating adversarial sequences combining API calls and static features (e.g., printable strings) that will be misclassified by the ...

Are tits really unsuitable hosts for the Common Cuckoo?
Ornis Fennica, 2014 Avian brood parasites exploit hosts that have accessible nests and a soft insect diet. Common Cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) hosts were traditionally classified as suitable if both parameters were fulfilled or unsuitable if one, or both, were not. In line with this view, hole-nesting tits (Paridae) have become a text-book example of unsuitable Cuckoo hosts ...
