Detection Of Stealthy False Data Injection Attacks Against State Estimation In Electric Power Grids Using Deep Learning Techniques, Qingyu Ge Aug 2020

Detection Of Stealthy False Data Injection Attacks Against State Estimation In Electric Power Grids Using Deep Learning Techniques, Qingyu Ge

Theses and Dissertations

Since communication technologies are being integrated into smart grid, its vulnerability to false data injection is increasing. State estimation is a critical component which is used for monitoring the operation of power grid. However, a tailored attack could circumvent bad data detection of the state estimation, thus disturb the stability of the grid. Such attacks are called stealthy false data injection attacks (FDIAs). This thesis proposed a prediction-based detector using deep learning techniques to detect injected measurements. The proposed detector adopts both Convolutional Neural Networks and Recurrent Neural Networks, making full use of the spatial-temporal correlations in the measurement data. …


Information Retrieval Of Opioid Dependence Medications Reviews From Health-Related Social Media, Seyedeh Samaneh Omranian Aug 2020

Information Retrieval Of Opioid Dependence Medications Reviews From Health-Related Social Media, Seyedeh Samaneh Omranian

Theses and Dissertations

Social media provides a convenient platform for patients to share their drug usage experience with others; consequently, health researchers can leverage this potential data to gain valuable information about users’ drug satisfaction. Since the 1990s, opioid drug abuse has become a national crisis. In order to reduce the dependency of opioids, several drugs have been presented to the market, but little is known about patient satisfaction with these treatments. Sentiment analysis is a method to measure and interpret patients’ satisfaction. In the first phase of this study, we aimed to utilize social media posts to predict patients’ sentiment towards opioid …


A Reinforcement Learning Approach To Sequential Acceptance Sampling As A Critical Success Factor For Lean Six Sigma, Hani A. Khalil May 2020

A Reinforcement Learning Approach To Sequential Acceptance Sampling As A Critical Success Factor For Lean Six Sigma, Hani A. Khalil

Theses and Dissertations

In the 21st century, globalization coupled with technological advancement and free trade has created competition among various businesses enterprises. This competition has led many businesses to adopt various management techniques such as acceptance sampling aimed at transforming their processes in order to remain competitive in the global market and adapt to new market demands. The successful implementation of acceptance sampling is highly dependent on what the academic literature refers to as acceptance sampling optimization. A literature review on the optimization of acceptance sampling has not shown any work that studied whether acceptance sampling and machine learning (ML) plans can be …


Old Dogs, New Tricks: Authoritarian Regime Persistence Through Learning, Nicholas Ryan Davis May 2020

Old Dogs, New Tricks: Authoritarian Regime Persistence Through Learning, Nicholas Ryan Davis

Theses and Dissertations

How does diffusion lead to authoritarian regime persistence? Political decisions, regardless of what the actors involved might believe or espouse, do not happen in isolation. Policy changes, institutional alterations, regime transitions-- these political phenomena are all in some part a product of diffusion processes as much as they are derived from internal determinants. As such, political regimes do not exist in a vacuum, nor do they ignore the outside world. When making decisions about policy and practice, we should expect competent political actors to take a look at the wider external world. This dissertation project presents a theory of regime …


Automated Digit Recognition On Sound Pressure Level Meters Based On Deep Learning, Che-Wei Tung May 2020

Automated Digit Recognition On Sound Pressure Level Meters Based On Deep Learning, Che-Wei Tung

Theses and Dissertations

Sound pressure level (SPL) meter is one of the useful devices used for measuring the sound level pressure. The measurement device displays the SPL value in decibels (dB) on a standard LCD screen (no backlight). We could base on the digit number shown on the LCD screen to do some adjustments or evaluations. Thus, SPL has been widely used in several fields to quantify different noise, such as industrial, environmental, and aircraft noise. However, in my basic knowledge, there is no previous study used machine learning to auto-recognize the digit on the SPL meter. This thesis presents a novel system …
