AURA: A Multi-Agent Intelligence Framework for Knowledge-Enhanced Cyber Threat Attribution
Effective attribution of Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) increasingly hinges on the ability to correlate behavioral patterns and reason over complex, varied threat intelligence artifacts. We present AURA (Attribution Using Retrieval-Augmented Agents), a multi-agent, knowledge-enhanced framework for automated and interpretable APT attribution. AURA ingests diverse threat data including Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs), Indicators of Compromise (IoCs), malware details, adversarial to…

Record-breaking heat wave due to climate change hits Iceland & Greenland: Scientists
In May, both Iceland and Greenland experienced record-breaking heat. A new rapid analysis has found that the heat wave in both regions was made worse and more likely in today’s warmer climate. The analysis was conducted by World Weather Attribution (WWA), a global network of researchers that evaluates the role of climate change in extreme […]

Rule-Assisted Attribute Embedding
Recommendation systems often overlook the rich attribute information embedded in property graphs, limiting their effectiveness. Existing graph convolutional network (GCN) models either ignore attributes or rely on simplistic triples, failing to capture deeper semantic structures. We propose RAE (Rule- Assisted Approach for Attribute Embedding), a novel method that improves recommendations by mining semantic rules from property graphs to guide attribute embedding. RAE per…

The Memory Paradox: Why Our Brains Need Knowledge in an Age of AI
In the age of generative AI and ubiquitous digital tools, human cognition faces a structural paradox: as external aids become more capable, internal memory systems risk atrophy. Drawing on neuroscience and cognitive psychology, this paper examines how heavy reliance on AI systems and discovery-based pedagogies may impair the consolidation of declarative and procedural memory -- systems essential for expertise, critical thinking, and long-term retention. We review how tools like ChatGPT and calc…
