• Abstract summary: We present a new method for constructing a vulnerability knowledge graph from information in the National Database (NVD) Our approach combines named entity recognition (NER), relation extraction (RE), and entity prediction using a combination of neural models, rules, and knowledge graph embeddings. We demonstrate how our method helps to fix missing entities in knowledge graphs used for cybersecurity and evaluate the performance.

• Abstract: Knowledge graphs have shown promise for several cybersecurity tasks, such as vulnerability assessment and threat analysis. In this work, we present a new method for constructing a vulnerability knowledge graph from information in the National Vulnerability Database (NVD). Our approach combines named entity recognition (NER), relation extraction (RE), and entity prediction using a combination of neural models, heuristic rules, and knowledge graph embeddings. We demonstrate how our method helps to fix missing entities in knowledge graphs used for cybersecurity and evaluate the performance.

  We propose Knowledge-aware Conditional Attention Networks (KCAN) to incorporate knowledge graph into a recommender system. We use a knowledge-aware attention propagation manner to obtain the node representation first, which captures the global semantic similarity on the user-item network and the knowledge graph. Then, by applying a conditional attention aggregation on the subgraph, we refine the knowledge graph to obtain target-specific node representations.
