At present, the explosive development of large models has had a profound and extensive impact on both industry and academia. In the industrial world, the large model provides strong technical support for the implementation of intelligent applications, promotes the comprehensive upgrade of automation and intelligence, and significantly improves production efficiency and innovation capabilities. In academia, large models not only broaden the research boundaries in the field of artificial intelligence, but also promote in-depth interdisciplinary collaboration, bringing unprecedented opportunities for academic research. At the same time, the rapid development of large models has also accelerated the integration of basic research and applied research, and promoted the all-round development of artificial intelligence technology from theory to practice.

However, the development of large models not only provides researchers with abundant research opportunities, but also poses new challenges. Especially young scholars, in the face of the opportunities and challenges brought by large models, how to maintain academic determination, how to carry out research innovatively, and how to make their own characteristics? It has become an important topic that young scholars need to think about urgently. In order to deeply discuss the opportunities and challenges faced by young scholars in the era of large models, this forum specially invited outstanding experts and scholars in various fields in the theory and application of large models to share their experiences. They will share real-world experiences on how to conduct innovative and impactful research with large models, and exchange insights, challenges, and insights along the way. The invited experts from multiple research fields shared the computing power integration problems of large models, the learning paradigm of knowledge exploration mechanisms and decision-making models, and the construction of large code models and machine language models.

This forum is initiated by the CCF 218 Club. The CCF 218 Club is mainly composed of scholars who have been selected for the "CCF Young Talent Development Program". The CCF Young Talent Development Program aims to support a group of young scholars who have achieved excellent results and have strong innovation capabilities, and the selected scholars are under the age of 32. This forum focuses on the development of young scholars, and aims to form useful suggestions for the development of young scholars through academic reports and exchanges.

He is a distinguished member of CCF, vice president of the Institute of Network Research of Tsinghua University, a tenured associate professor, a Huawei Named Professor, and a coach of the Blue Lotus team. He has won the honors of Tsinghua University Academic Newcomer and National Young Talent. His research interests include software and system security and artificial intelligence security. Developed the world's first large machine language model MLM.

Title: Large Machine Language Models: Technology and Applications

Report Summary: Software is facing security threats such as vulnerabilities, malicious code, and cracking, and a large number of software cannot obtain the source code, so binary security analysis capabilities are urgently needed. However, binary programs are difficult to analyze because they lack a lot of information compared to source programs. Large language model technology has brought a new breakthrough to binary program analysis. This report will share the Machine Language Large Model (MLM) solution, demonstrate the breakthrough capabilities and application effects of MLM in binary program security analysis, and discuss the development direction of software security with you.
