Synthetic Cancer - Augmenting Worms with LLMs

Submission to the Swiss AI Safety Prize

Joint work with Benjamin Zimmerman.

🥇🎉 We are thrilled to announce that we have won the first prize and received 7'500 CHF!

Our submission presents a novel malware approach that enhances worms with Large Language Models (LLMs). The proposed metamorphic malware utilizes LLMs for code rewriting and targeted spreading through social engineering.


Towards a Deeper Understanding of Semantic Comprehension in Language Models Paired with Semantic Graphs

Joint work with Matthias Kleiner and Ahmet Özüdogru.

We extend previous work by (Wu et al., 2021) who proposed infusing additional semantic information in the form of DM graphs into graph neural networks stacked on top of language models into models for language tasks. We present a detailed ablation study on semantic understanding in these models and extend them using AMR graphs.


Applying Predictability Minimization onto Unsupervised Contrastive Representation Learning

We demonstrate that existing methods for unsupervised contrastive representation learningsignificantly reduces linear redundancy in the embedding space. With the goal of first quantifying and then reducing the amount of higher- order dependencies, we devise a novel neural network architecture incorporating predictability minimization (PM) into unsupervised representation learning by having two neural networks play a competitive game.


ETH Materials

This is a collection of some materials I have written while studying at ETH Zürich. Since they might be useful for others too, I have decided to make them available on the internet.

More links will follow in the future.

Analysis 1 & 2

For the ETH Ananlysis lectures I have written two summaries which I have used in the exams:

Linear Algebra

A handwritten Linear Algebra summary written for the final exam. The summary was written in fall of 2018.


Probability and Statistics

For spring's Probability and Statistics lecture given by Prof. Teichmann I have written a short summary with key methods and theorems.

The summary is in German as the class was taught in German!

Numerical Methods for CSE

A summary which I have taken to the exam. It mainly consists of Eigen documentation and concepts that could not easily be found on the provided lecture notes.

The summary might have some rough edges.

Promela Cheatsheet

A small summary with the main language constructs of the promela language used by the spin model checker. Written in spring of 2020 for the class "Functional Programming and Formal Methods" at ETH Zürich.

SQL Cheatsheet

A quite comprehensive SQL cheatsheet covering all SQL constructs covered in class. Written in Spring of 2020.

Algorithms Collection for Freshmen Algorithms Classes at ETH

During the first year of my CS studies I have kept a repository where I have implemented a majority of the algorithms shown in class.

The repository definitely has some rough edges as many algorithms were implemented under time constraints, but all in all it should contain a wide variety of algorithms.


ETH Introduction to Machine Learning Cheatsheet 2021

Exam summary for the course Introduction to Machine Learning (2021) at ETH Zürich. The summary is an adapted and slightly updated version of the outstanding summary eth-cs-student-summaries / Introduction-to-Machine-Learning summary. Please check out the original version!
