Research Summary: ESCORT: Ethereum Smart COntRacTs Vulnerability Detection using Deep Neural Network and Transfer Learning

Thanks for summarizing this innovative approach to vulnerability detection. Several months ago, @lnrdpss authored a mini-post on the Art of Auditing discussing the balance of automated tools as well as manual review. I’m interested in where ESCORT might fit into the auditing landscape.

I’m also interested in the predictive part of this innovation. The summary states:

An innovative divide-and-conquer approach was proposed. Instead of directly identifying vulnerabilities, they split the task into learning the semantic and syntactic information of smart contracts , and predicting the existence of different types of vulnerabilities .

How is the prediction being accomplished in this approach?
