This webinar is part of the Cyber Pulse by CIC series hosted by Sumit Kundu. Deep neural networks have demonstrated strong performance on complex cybersecurity tasks; however, large model sizes and reliance on extensive labeled datasets limit their suitability for real-time deployment. Knowledge Distillation (KD) addresses these limitations by transferring knowledge from a high-capacity teacher model to a lightweight student model. The process employs temperature-scaled soft logits that capture dark knowledge, revealing inter-class relationships beyond conventional one-hot labels. From a theoretical perspective, KD maximizes the mutual information shared between teacher and student representations, thereby enhancing generalization. This webinar presents both a theoretical overview of the student-teacher learning framework and a practical demonstration of how KD enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of lightweight models in cybersecurity applications. Dr. Mahdi Rabbani is a Research Scientist at the Canadian Institute for Cybersecurity, University of New Brunswick. He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science and Technology from Nanjing University of Science and Technology, where he specialized in machine learning approaches for detecting malicious behavior in intrusion detection systems. He also earned an M.Tech. in Artificial Intelligence and a B.E. in Software Engineering. Dr. Rabbani has led and contributed to several industry-driven R&D projects with partners such as MasterCard Canada and IBM. His recent work includes developing frameworks for detecting credential stuffing, phishing attacks, and IoT anomalies—leveraging graph learning, explainable AI, and knowledge distillation. With a robust academic and research background, he specializes in cybersecurity, machine learning, and behavioral threat detection, focusing on scalable and interpretable solutions to address emerging cyber threats. He has published extensively in top-tier journals and conferences in the cybersecurity domain. -------------------------------

UPDATED: Bruce Wark @ " Wark Times " - ex-CBC journalist and journalism professor at King's College

Just wanted to say thanks Bruce Wark because you're doing a great job in Sackville NB of providing an alternative news source for readers who are looking for information.  "Town of Sackville" Facebook page censors and bans people from posting and asking questions and that's a problem -- look to Town Hall minions Ron Kelly Spurles, Phil Handrahan and Matt Pryde for that problematic issue with this blogger back in 2015.

Taking away people's voices online is violating their rights.

We no longer have the bland and lacklustre reporting of "Sackville Tribune Post".. [now defunct] 

Bruce Wark taught journalism at the University of King's College in Halifax Nova Scotia.  He is a legit reporter. No doubt.  Bruce Wark is connected to the hierarchy at CHMA 106.9 fm website publishing and radio programming on the local university campus as well... a site that also censors commentary.... why?  Why so much suppression of free speech in this so called enlightened university town?  Controlling the narrative.. its just that simple.. its repulsive behaviour to be honest... its the dark ages.

Bruce actually digs in deep on a lot of topics and lots of people benefit from having his website forum to interact and comment.  Find Bruce's "Wark Times" on Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/warktimes/

"Why are the council and mayor letting the ‘technocrats’, pond diggers, and climate fear specialists run their town and policy and decision making .. simple question happens to have a complicated answer: Read Patrick Wood’s books, especially “Technocracy Rising” .. and before Les Hicks rags on me yet again about being a lousy reporter in the region just know this: people are not stupid Les and they know when their government is not acting on their own best interests… Patrick now does a podcast show on youtube which you’ll find helpful .. and informative… he’s been researching the work of globalists for decades and the problem is the OPPRESSIVE top down global governance the UN pushes “Agenda 2030” SDGs sustainable development goals .. which includes making fools of themselves about co2 being a pollutant.. its not ..as a way to tax us more than they already do .. its a scam .. their interference into our local governments is difficult to ignore at this point and the pressure they exert on all our staff and politicians.. what I called “the green cabbal” when recently speaking with Shawn Mesheau and Bruce Phinney.. its why I would not run for any office at this point.. it is fully corrupted by this sustainable development UN Agenda 2030 global governance… Patrick Wood’s website: http://technocracy.news .. I have the book if you want to borrow it Bruce… thanks again for all your great efforts around here."

At a sidewalk chit chat gathering one day near the post office in 2019 with town councillors Bruce Phinney and Shawn Mesheau I was told that I'm thought of as a low class unimportant troublemaker because of the publishing and advocacy that I do here.

Wark's site is a good place to find local conversations/opinions but some censorship is taking place, specifically of my commentary, at his website.  Just two questions:

Is he related to Wesley Wark, CSIS intelligence operative? 

Does he plan to report on King John III claim by Joseph Gregory Hallett?

Bruce writes as follows recently in response to local Harold Jarche's recent commentary at his site [Harold being a man who impolitely interrupted conversation to say " aliens control everything " to me in the Black Duck Cafe when I was sitting and talking to former town councillor Virgil Hammock once about U.N. Agenda 21 ... what a joke of a town this truly is .. where are the adults and critical-thinkers? Where are the true leaders and visionaries?  This darkness that has descended upon our society is because we do not and will allow freedom of speech and freedom of the press.. we are starved for real news and real information, sadly.]

Thanks Harold for your supportive comment.

As I pointed out in my article, Sgt. Gagné was very frank about distinguishing between traditional media outlets — he mentioned the CBC and the Times & Transcript — and those, such as Warktimes, that he classifies as “social media”. He appears to use that distinction to justify not returning phone messages. In this case, I had called the Sackville detachment repeatedly for more than a week, but finally received a call back only after I sought the help of Cst. Hans Ouellette who handles province-wide communications for the RCMP out of Fredericton.

So, while the Supreme Court of Canada clearly states the rights and responsibilities of online disseminators of news and information, that does not mean that authorities will recognize their legitimacy and respond to their questions.

I faced this problem with former Mayor Higham who stopped responding to my phone calls and e-mail messages in January 2020. He never gave an explicit reason, but I concluded for a number of reasons that he too, classified Warktimes as “social media” and therefore, felt no need to respond to my requests for information. And, since the mayor speaks for council, I found it much harder to get information than more distant reporters from Moncton or Toronto whose calls he did return. Although I was still able to ask for information during town council question periods, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted those sessions for a time too.

Thankfully, Acting Mayor Aiken does return my calls and e-mails and town staff have always been helpful when I needed information.

The Sackville detachment of the RCMP, however, is another matter. Here’s a little history:

After I raised the issue of why all RCMP council briefings were held behind closed doors in August 2019, the town decided to make them public and Sgt. Gagné clearly was not happy. He refused when I asked to take his photo outside the council chambers before his first public briefing. I gave him my business card and said I’d been a journalist for 50 years. “Anybody can be a blogger,” he replied as he walked away.

Then last February, he asked for a return to closed-door council briefings.

“Since we changed the format of our present meeting to being open to the public, I personally don’t find as much value in being here as I did before because I found our exchanges much more, I would say, hearty and substantial,” he told council.

Unfortunately, members of council are prohibited from disclosing information from closed-door sessions, so anything the RCMP says during them is shrouded in secrecy. Without the public sessions, for example, we would never have known that Councillor Tower had repeatedly asked the police to enforce no parking restrictions to keep fossil-fuel tanker trucks from parking on the Walker Road on and off ramps near the town’s water supply.

So yes, the RCMP may not officially have the right to decide who is a journalist, but they can decide who gets information and who doesn’t. Let’s hope at least, that council continues to hold RCMP briefings in public."

Bruce Wark is an embedded journalist in Sackville N.B.

and is unable to report on any topics UNLESS he is told to report on them by

the local technocrats / green cabbal... and the same must be said for CHMA 106.9 fm..

and that's why.... 

you'll find the administration at the town hall approve of Bruce Wark because clearly he is listed at the Town's website:
