- Abstract: This technical report documents our efforts in addressing the tasks set forth
by the 2021 AMoC (Advanced Modelling of Cyber Criminal Careers) Hackathon. Our
main contribution is a joint visualisation of semantic and temporal features,
generating insight into the supplied data on darknet cybercrime through the
aspects of novelty, transience, and resonance, which describe the potential
impact a message might have on the overall discourse in darknet communities.
All code and data produced by us as part of this hackathon is publicly
available.

We introduce token communications (TokCom), a unified framework to leverage cross-modal context information in generative semantic communications (GenSC)
TokCom is motivated by the recent success of generative foundation models and multimodal large language models (GFM/MLLMs)
We demonstrate the corresponding TokCom benefits in a GenSC setup for image, leveraging cross-modal context information, which increases the bandwidth efficiency by 70.8% with negligible loss of semantic/perceptual quality.

The explosive growth of cyber attacks nowadays, such as malware, spam, and intrusions, caused severe consequences on society.
Traditional Machine Learning (ML) based methods are extensively used in detecting cyber threats, but they hardly model the correlations between real-world cyber entities.
With the proliferation of graph mining techniques, many researchers investigated these techniques for capturing correlations between cyber entities and achieving high performance.
