Rhetsec_ | Rhetorical Security, Jennifer Mead

Culminating Projects in English

Rhetsec_ examines the rhetorical situation, the rhetorical appeals, and how phishing emails simulate "real" emails in five categories of phishing emails. While the first focus of cybersecurity is security, you must also understand the language of computers to know how to secure them. Phishing is one way to compromise security using computers, and so the computer becomes a tool for malicious language (phishing emails and malware) to be transmitted. Therefore to be concerned with securing computers, then you must also be concerned with language. Language is rhetoric's domain, and the various rhetorical elements which create an identity of the phisher …

Data Set For An Empirical Analysis Of Search Engines’ Response To Web Search Queries Associated With The Classroom Setting, Oghenemaro Anuyah, Ashlee Milton, Michael Green, Maria Soledad Pera

Computer Science Faculty Scripts and Data

This archive contains queries that capture information in different search contexts. The first file includes those written by children between the 3rd - 6th grade levels, while performing search tasks. We collected and archived this data between the April 2017 -- December 2018, based on Boise State University's IRB approval. We also include simulated queries we extracted from children's reviews. Additional columns in this dataset are children's grade levels, the query source, and the query type (i.e., if it is a keyword, phrase, or question query). The other files are comprised of queries that are meant to lead to the …

Mapping In The Humanities: Gis Lessons For Poets, Historians, And Scientists, Emily W. Fairey

Open Educational Resources

User-friendly Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is the common thread of this collection of presentations, and activities with full lesson plans. The first section of the site contains an overview of cartography, the art of creating maps, and then looks at historical mapping platforms like Hypercities and Donald Rumsey Historical Mapping Project. In the next section Google Earth Desktop Pro is introduced, with lessons and activities on the basics of GE such as pins, paths, and kml files, as well as a more complex activity on "georeferencing" an historic map over Google Earth imagery. The final section deals with ARCGIS Online …

Teaching Computers To Teach Themselves: Synthesizing Training Data Based On Human-Perceived Elements, James Little

Honors Projects

Isolation-Based Scene Generation (IBSG) is a process for creating synthetic datasets made to train machine learning detectors and classifiers. In this project, we formalize the IBSG process and describe the scenarios—object detection and object classification given audio or image input—in which it can be useful. We then look at the Stanford Street View House Number (SVHN) dataset and build several different IBSG training datasets based on existing SVHN data. We try to improve the compositing algorithm used to build the IBSG dataset so that models trained with synthetic data perform as well as models trained with the original SVHN training …

Cs04all: Natural Language Processing Project, Hunter R. Johnson

Open Educational Resources

In this archive there are two activities/assignments suitable for use in a CS0 or Intro course which uses Python.

In the first activity, students are asked to "fill in the code" in a series of short programs that compute a similarity metric (cosine similarity) for text documents. This involves string tokenization, and frequency counting using Python string methods and datatypes.

Integrated Database System With Spatial Information For Disaster Risk Management, Ever Enrique Castillo Osorio, Bashir Hayat, Babar Shah, Francis Chow, Ki Il Kim

All Works

© 2019 AECE. Despite availability of various image sources for specific areas, a new disaster management system is likely to be implemented by using only one of them. Thus, its applicability and extensibility are severely limited. In addition, real-time update for the disaster area is one of the crucial functions for search and rescue activities. To meet the aforementioned requirements, in this paper, we propose a new spatial data infrastructure by defining the methodological scheme for the raster information. The proposed system has four respective layers to reduce the management cost as well as provide a flexible architecture. In each …

Contextual Word Embeddings - Trained On English Wikipedia Corpora, Filip Klubicka, Alfredo Maldonado, Abhijit Mahalunkar, John D. Kelleher

Datasets

This archive contains a collection of computational models called word embeddings. These are vectors that contain numerical representations of words. These have been trained on real language sentences collected from the English Wikipedia. As such, they contain contextual (thematic) knowledge about words (rather than taxonomic).

Taxonomic Word Embeddings - Trained On English Wordnet Random Walk Pseudo-Corpora, Filip Klubicka, Alfredo Maldonado, Abhijit Mahalunkar, John D. Kelleher

Datasets

This archive contains a collection of computational models called word embeddings. These are vectors that contain numerical representations of words. They have been trained on pseudo-sentences generated artificially from a random walk over the English WordNet taxonomy, and thus reflect taxonomic knowledge about words (rather than contextual).
