Cloud Resource Prediction Using Explainable And Cooperative Artificial Neural Networks, Nathan R. Nelson Aug 2020

Cloud Resource Prediction Using Explainable And Cooperative Artificial Neural Networks, Nathan R. Nelson

MSU Graduate Theses

This work proposes a system for predicting cloud resource utilization by using runtime assembled cooperative artificial neural networks (RACANN). RACANN breaks up the problem into smaller contexts, each represented by a small-scale artificial neural network (ANN). The relevant ANNs are joined together at runtime when the context is present in the data for training and predictions. By analyzing the structure of a complete ANN, the influence of inputs is calculated and used to create linguistic descriptions (LD) of model behavior, so RACANN becomes explainable (eRACANN). The predictive results of eRACANN are compared against its prototype and a single deep ANN …


Applications Of Artificial Intelligence And Graphy Theory To Cyberbullying, Jesse D. Simpson Aug 2020

Applications Of Artificial Intelligence And Graphy Theory To Cyberbullying, Jesse D. Simpson

MSU Graduate Theses

Cyberbullying is an ongoing and devastating issue in today's online social media. Abusive users engage in cyber-harassment by utilizing social media to send posts, private messages, tweets, or pictures to innocent social media users. Detecting and preventing cases of cyberbullying is crucial. In this work, I analyze multiple machine learning, deep learning, and graph analysis algorithms and explore their applicability and performance in pursuit of a robust system for detecting cyberbullying. First, I evaluate the performance of the machine learning algorithms Support Vector Machine, Naïve Bayes, Random Forest, Decision Tree, and Logistic Regression. This yielded positive results and obtained upwards …
