Walls Have Ears: Eavesdropping User Behaviors Via Graphics-Interrupt-Based Side Channel, Haoyu Ma, Jianwen Tian, Debin Gao, Jia Chunfu Dec 2020

Walls Have Ears: Eavesdropping User Behaviors Via Graphics-Interrupt-Based Side Channel, Haoyu Ma, Jianwen Tian, Debin Gao, Jia Chunfu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are now playing a vital role in many devices and systems including computing devices, data centers, and clouds, making them the next target of side-channel attacks. Unlike those targeting CPUs, existing side-channel attacks on GPUs exploited vulnerabilities exposed by application interfaces like OpenGL and CUDA, which can be easily mitigated with software patches. In this paper, we investigate the lower-level and native interface between GPUs and CPUs, i.e., the graphics interrupts, and evaluate the side channel they expose. Being an intrinsic profile in the communication between a GPU and a CPU, the pattern of graphics interrupts …


Machine Learning Integrated Design For Additive Manufacturing, Jingchao Jiang, Yi Xiong, Zhiyuan Zhang, David W. Rosen Nov 2020

Machine Learning Integrated Design For Additive Manufacturing, Jingchao Jiang, Yi Xiong, Zhiyuan Zhang, David W. Rosen

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

For improving manufacturing efficiency and minimizing costs, design for additive manufacturing (AM) has been accordingly proposed. The existing design for AM methods are mainly surrogate model based. Due to the increasingly available data nowadays, machine learning (ML) has been applied to medical diagnosis, image processing, prediction, classification, learning association, etc. A variety of studies have also been carried out to use machine learning for optimizing the process parameters of AM with corresponding objectives. In this paper, a ML integrated design for AM framework is proposed, which takes advantage of ML that can learn the complex relationships between the design and …


Using Data Analytics To Predict Students Score, Nang Laik Ma, Gim Hong Chua Nov 2020

Using Data Analytics To Predict Students Score, Nang Laik Ma, Gim Hong Chua

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Education is very important to Singapore, and the government has continued to invest heavily in our education system to become one of the world-class systems today. A strong foundation of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) was what underpinned Singapore's development over the past 50 years. PISA is a triennial international survey that evaluates education systems worldwide by testing the skills and knowledge of 15-year-old students who are nearing the end of compulsory education. In this paper, the authors used the PISA data from 2012 and 2015 and developed machine learning techniques to predictive the students' scores and understand the …


Base-Package Recommendation Framework Based On Consumer Behaviours In Iptv Platform, Kuruparan Shanmugalingam, Ruwinda Ranganayanke, Chanka Gunawardhaha, Rajitha Navarathna Nov 2020

Internet Protocol TeleVision (IPTV) provides many services such as live television streaming, time-shifted media, and Video On Demand (VOD). However, many customers do not engage properly with their subscribed packages due to a lack of knowledge and poor guidance. Many customers fail to identify the proper IPTV service package based on their needs and to utilise their current package to the maximum. In this paper, we propose a base-package recommendation model with a novel customer scoring-meter based on customers behaviour. Initially, our paper describes an algorithm to measure customers engagement score, which illustrates a novel approach to track customer engagement …


European Floating Strike Lookback Options: Alpha Prediction And Generation Using Unsupervised Learning, Tristan Lim, Aldy Gunawan, Chin Sin Ong Oct 2020

European Floating Strike Lookback Options: Alpha Prediction And Generation Using Unsupervised Learning, Tristan Lim, Aldy Gunawan, Chin Sin Ong

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

This research utilized the intrinsic quality of European floating strike lookback call options, alongside selected return and volatility parameters, in a K-means clustering environment, to recommend an alpha generative trading strategy. The result is an elegant easy-to-use alpha strategy based on the option mechanisms which identifies investment assets with high degree of significance. In an upward trending market, the research had identified European floating strike lookback call option as an evaluative criterion and investable asset, which would both allow investors to predict and profit from alpha opportunities. The findings will be useful for (i) buy-side investors seeking alpha generation and/or …


A Hybrid Framework Using A Qubo Solver For Permutation-Based Combinatorial Optimization, Siong Thye Goh, Sabrish Gopalakrishnan, Jianyuan Bo, Hoong Chuin Lau Sep 2020

A Hybrid Framework Using A Qubo Solver For Permutation-Based Combinatorial Optimization, Siong Thye Goh, Sabrish Gopalakrishnan, Jianyuan Bo, Hoong Chuin Lau

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

In this paper, we propose a hybrid framework to solve large-scale permutation-based combinatorial problems effectively using a high-performance quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) solver. To do so, transformations are required to change a constrained optimization model to an unconstrained model that involves parameter tuning. We propose techniques to overcome the challenges in using a QUBO solver that typically comes with limited numbers of bits. First, to smooth the energy landscape, we reduce the magnitudes of the input without compromising optimality. We propose a machine learning approach to tune the parameters for good performance effectively. To handle possible infeasibility, we introduce …


Are The Code Snippets What We Are Searching For? A Benchmark And An Empirical Study On Code Search With Natural-Language Queries, Shuhan Yan, Hang Yu, Yuting Chen, Beijun Shen Feb 2020

Are The Code Snippets What We Are Searching For? A Benchmark And An Empirical Study On Code Search With Natural-Language Queries, Shuhan Yan, Hang Yu, Yuting Chen, Beijun Shen

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Code search methods, especially those that allow programmers to raise queries in a natural language, plays an important role in software development. It helps to improve programmers' productivity by returning sample code snippets from the Internet and/or source-code repositories for their natural-language queries. Meanwhile, there are many code search methods in the literature that support natural-language queries. Difficulties exist in recognizing the strengths and weaknesses of each method and choosing the right one for different usage scenarios, because (1) the implementations of those methods and the datasets for evaluating them are usually not publicly available, and (2) some methods leverage …


Optimal Feature Selection For Learning-Based Algorithms For Sentiment Classification, Zhaoxia Wang, Zhiping Lin Jan 2020

Optimal Feature Selection For Learning-Based Algorithms For Sentiment Classification, Zhaoxia Wang, Zhiping Lin

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Sentiment classification is an important branch of cognitive computation—thus the further studies of properties of sentiment analysis is important. Sentiment classification on text data has been an active topic for the last two decades and learning-based methods are very popular and widely used in various applications. For learning-based methods, a lot of enhanced technical strategies have been used to improve the performance of the methods. Feature selection is one of these strategies and it has been studied by many researchers. However, an existing unsolved difficult problem is the choice of a suitable number of features for obtaining the best sentiment …
