For some products, it's just too easy to find vulnerabilities. First, find the most heavily used functionality, including the first points of entry into the product. Then, perform the most obvious attacks against the most common types of vulnerabilities. Using this crude method, even unskilled attackers can break into an insecure application within minutes. The developer likely faces a long roa...

This paper describes a method of retrieving handwritten text using directional features. Text search from handwritten digital ink employing character recognition technology has been developed. However, the character recognition based approach does not support languages which are not assumed. To address this problem, the proposed method was devised to hypothetically segment text into character s...

Natural language understanding (NLU) is an important module of spoken dialogue systems. One of the difficulties when it comes to adapting NLU to new domains is the high cost of constructing new training data for each domain. To reduce this cost, we propose a zero-shot learning of NLU that takes into account the sequential structures of sentences together with general question types across diffe...
