June 19, 2024
Author(s)
Lan Zhang, Qingtian Zou, Anoop Singhal, Xiaoyan Sun, Peng Liu
The advent of Large Language Models (LLMs) has enabled advancement in automated code generation, translation, and summarization. Despite their promise, evaluating the use of LLMs in repairing real-world code vulnerabilities remains underexplored. In this

Predicting the toughness of compatibilized polymer blends

June 19, 2024
Author(s)
Robert Ivancic, Debra Audus
Polymer blends can yield superior materials by merging the unique properties of their components. However, these mixtures often phase separate, leading to brittleness. While compatibilizers can toughen these blends, their vast design space makes

Analysis of Neural Network Detectors for Network Attacks
