Deep Air Learning: Interpolation, Prediction, And Feature Analysis Of Fine-Grained Air Quality, Zhongang Qi, Tianchun Wang, Guojie Song, Weisong Hu, Xi Li, Zhongfei Mark Zhang Dec 2018

Deep Air Learning: Interpolation, Prediction, And Feature Analysis Of Fine-Grained Air Quality, Zhongang Qi, Tianchun Wang, Guojie Song, Weisong Hu, Xi Li, Zhongfei Mark Zhang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

The interpolation, prediction, and feature analysis of fine-gained air quality are three important topics in the area of urban air computing. The solutions to these topics can provide extremely useful information to support air pollution control, and consequently generate great societal and technical impacts. Most of the existing work solves the three problems separately by different models. In this paper, we propose a general and effective approach to solve the three problems in one model called the Deep Air Learning (DAL). The main idea of DAL lies in embedding feature selection and semi-supervised learning in different layers of the deep …


Dsm: A Specification Mining Tool Using Recurrent Neural Network Based Language Model, Tien-Duy B. Le, Lingfeng Bao, David Lo Nov 2018

Dsm: A Specification Mining Tool Using Recurrent Neural Network Based Language Model, Tien-Duy B. Le, Lingfeng Bao, David Lo

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Formal specifications are important but often unavailable. Furthermore, writing these specifications is time-consuming and requires skills from developers. In this work, we present Deep Specification Miner (DSM), an automated tool that applies deep learning to mine finite-state automaton (FSA) based specifications. DSM accepts as input a set of execution traces to train a Recurrent Neural Network Language Model (RNNLM). From the input traces, DSM creates a Prefix Tree Acceptor (PTA) and leverages the inferred RNNLM to extract many features. These features are then forwarded to clustering algorithms for merging similar automata states in the PTA for assembling a number of …


Prediction Of Relatedness In Stack Overflow: Deep Learning Vs. Svm: A Reproducibility Study, Bowen Xu, Amirreza Shirani, David Lo, Mohammad Amin Alipour Oct 2018

Prediction Of Relatedness In Stack Overflow: Deep Learning Vs. Svm: A Reproducibility Study, Bowen Xu, Amirreza Shirani, David Lo, Mohammad Amin Alipour

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Background Xu et al. used a deep neural network (DNN) technique to classify the degree of relatedness between two knowledge units (question-answer threads) on Stack Overflow. More recently, extending Xu et al.'s work, Fu and Menzies proposed a simpler classification technique based on a fine-tuned support vector machine (SVM) that achieves similar performance but in a much shorter time. Thus, they suggested that researchers need to compare their sophisticated methods against simpler alternatives.Aim The aim of this work is to replicate the previous studies and further investigate the validity of Fu and Menzies' claim by evaluating the DNN- and SVM-based …


Online Deep Learning: Learning Deep Neural Networks On The Fly, Doyen Sahoo, Hong Quang Pham, Jing Lu, Steven C. H. Hoi Jul 2018

Online Deep Learning: Learning Deep Neural Networks On The Fly, Doyen Sahoo, Hong Quang Pham, Jing Lu, Steven C. H. Hoi

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are typically trained by backpropagation in a batch setting, requiring the entire training data to be made available prior to the learning task. This is not scalable for many real-world scenarios where new data arrives sequentially in a stream. We aim to address an open challenge of “Online Deep Learning” (ODL) for learning DNNs on the fly in an online setting. Unlike traditional online learning that often optimizes some convex objective function with respect to a shallow model (e.g., a linear/kernel-based hypothesis), ODL is more challenging as the optimization objective is non-convex, and regular DNN with …


Deep Specification Mining, Tien-Duy B. Le, David Lo Jul 2018

Deep Specification Mining, Tien-Duy B. Le, David Lo

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Formal specifications are essential but usually unavailable in software systems. Furthermore, writing these specifications is costly and requires skills from developers. Recently, many automated techniques have been proposed to mine specifications in various formats including finite-state automaton (FSA). However, more works in specification mining are needed to further improve the accuracy of the inferred specifications. In this work, we propose Deep Specification Miner (DSM), a new approach that performs deep learning for mining FSA-based specifications. Our proposed approach uses test case generation to generate a richer set of execution traces for training a Recurrent Neural Network Based Language Model (RNNLM). …


D-Pruner: Filter-Based Pruning Method For Deep Convolutional Neural Network, Nguyen Loc Huynh, Youngki Lee, Rajesh Krishna Balan Jun 2018

D-Pruner: Filter-Based Pruning Method For Deep Convolutional Neural Network, Nguyen Loc Huynh, Youngki Lee, Rajesh Krishna Balan

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

The emergence of augmented reality devices such as Google Glass and Microsoft Hololens has opened up a new class of vision sensing applications. Those applications often require the ability to continuously capture and analyze contextual information from video streams. They often adopt various deep learning algorithms such as convolutional neural networks (CNN) to achieve high recognition accuracy while facing severe challenges to run computationally intensive deep learning algorithms on resource-constrained mobile devices. In this paper, we propose and explore a new class of compression technique called D-Pruner to efficiently prune redundant parameters within a CNN model to run the model …

Urlnet: Learning A Url Representation With Deep Learning For Malicious Url Detection, Hung Le, Hong Quang Pham, Doyen Sahoo, Steven C. H. Hoi Mar 2018

Urlnet: Learning A Url Representation With Deep Learning For Malicious Url Detection, Hung Le, Hong Quang Pham, Doyen Sahoo, Steven C. H. Hoi

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Malicious URLs host unsolicited content and are used to perpetrate cybercrimes. It is imperative to detect them in a timely manner. Traditionally, this is done through the usage of blacklists, which cannot be exhaustive, and cannot detect newly generated malicious URLs. To address this, recent years have witnessed several efforts to perform Malicious URL Detection using Machine Learning. The most popular and scalable approaches use lexical properties of the URL string by extracting Bag-of-words like features, followed by applying machine learning models such as SVMs. There are also other features designed by experts to improve the prediction performance of the …
