Searching for people information on the Web is a common practice in life. However, it is time consuming to search for such information manually. In this paper, we aim to develop an automatic people information search system, named ARISE-PIE. To build such a system, we tackle two major technical challenges: data harvesting and data integration. For data harvesting, we study how to leverage search engine to help crawl the relevant Web pages for a target entity; then we propose a novel learning to query model that can automatically select a set of "best" queries to maximize collective utility (e.g., precision …
Detection Of Cyberbullying In Sms Messaging, Bryan W. Bradley
Detection Of Cyberbullying In Sms Messaging, Bryan W. Bradley
Computer Science Summer Fellows
Cyberbullying is a type of bullying that uses technology such as cell phones to harass or malign another person. To detect acts of cyberbullying, we are developing an algorithm that will detect cyberbullying in SMS (text) messages. Over 80,000 text messages have been collected by software installed on cell phones carried by participants in our study. This paper describes the development of the algorithm to detect cyberbullying messages, using the cell phone data collected previously. The algorithm works by first separating the messages into conversations in an automated way. The algorithm then analyzes the conversations and scores the severity and …

On-line portfolio selection has been attracting increasing interests from artificial intelligence community in recent decades. Mean reversion, as one most frequent pattern in financial markets, plays an important role in some state-of-the-art strategies. Though successful in certain datasets, existing mean reversion strategies do not fully consider noises and outliers in the data, leading to estimation error and thus non-optimal portfolios, which results in poor performance in practice. To overcome the limitation, we propose to exploit the reversion phenomenon by robust L1-median estimator, and design a novel on-line portfolio selection strategy named "Robust Median Reversion" (RMR), which makes optimal portfolios based …

Embedding deals with reducing the high-dimensional representation of data into a low-dimensional representation. Previous work mostly focuses on preserving similarities among objects. Here, not only do we explicitly recognize multiple types of objects, but we also focus on the ordinal relationships across types. Collaborative Ordinal Embedding or COE is based on generative modelling of ordinal triples. Experiments show that COE outperforms the baselines on objective metrics, revealing its capacity for information preservation for ordinal data.

We espouse a vision of small data-based immersive retail analytics, where a combination of sensor data, from personal wearable-devices and store-deployed sensors & IoT devices, is used to create real-time, individualized services for in-store shoppers. Key challenges include (a) appropriate joint mining of sensor & wearable data to capture a shopper’s product level interactions, and (b) judicious triggering of power-hungry wearable sensors (e.g., camera) to capture only relevant portions of a shopper’s in-store activities. To explore the feasibility of our vision, we conducted experiments with 5 smartwatch-wearing users who interacted with objects placed on cupboard racks in our lab (to …
