Two changes per the user's feedback that the slide had unused horizontal space and needed per-PDF context. Layout - The reference scene is now a 2-column grid inside the metric-stack: PDF iframe at ~1.7fr on the left, description panel at ~0.55fr on the right (min 280px). On narrow viewports (<1100px) it falls back to a vertical stack with the description capped to 240px. - Added #zoom=page-width to the iframe URL so the PDF's page fits its column width instead of leaving margins beside an 8.5x11 page rendered in a wider iframe. - Hide the prose card on the references scene — the description panel inside the stack covers what the prose was saying, and freeing the right edge gives the description proper room. Description content - Backend reads <stem>.md sidecar files alongside each PDF and returns the contents in the /api/references payload. - Frontend renders them with a tiny built-in markdown subset (headings, bold/italic, lists, inline code, paragraphs) — no third-party renderer dependency. - Initial draft sidecar .md files committed for the four PDFs currently in references/. Each describes how the paper informs a specific scene of the deck (which model row, which eval protocol, which channel selection). Edit them in place and the panel updates on the next reload.

# LSTM on event-log sequences
|
|
|
|
DANTE applies a **plain LSTM directly to system-log event sequences**
|
|
to flag insider-threat behavior. Earlier in the literature than the
|
|
transformer wave, and useful here as a methodological baseline.
|
|
|
|
## What we borrowed
|
|
|
|
- **Evidence that simple recurrent models are enough.** The paper
|
|
shows an LSTM on sequence-of-events alone — no per-task feature
|
|
engineering — captures enough temporal structure to beat
|
|
bag-of-events classifiers. That's the empirical ground for the
|
|
*RNN/GRU/LSTM* entries in our model comparison being plain, not
|
|
bespoke.
|
|
- **Negative-evidence framing.** DANTE is also explicit about cases
|
|
where the LSTM under-performs (low-volume users, novel event
|
|
types). Informs the *split-by-sample, not split-by-time* eval
|
|
protocol on the perf scene — generalising to unseen actors is
|
|
the bar.
|
|
|
|
## Where it differs
|
|
|
|
- Operates on log-event token sequences (categorical), not numeric
|
|
resource metrics (continuous). Our channels are floats from
|
|
`/proc`, so we use the temporal structure DANTE validates without
|
|
inheriting the embedding setup.
