Assessing The Quality Of Software Development Tutorials Available On The Web, Manziba A. Nishi
Assessing The Quality Of Software Development Tutorials Available On The Web, Manziba A. Nishi
Theses and Dissertations
Both expert and novice software developers frequently access software development resources available on the Web in order to lookup or learn new APIs, tools and techniques. Software quality is affected negatively when developers fail to find high-quality information relevant to their problem. While there is a substantial amount of freely available resources that can be accessed online, some of the available resources contain information that suffers from error proneness, copyright infringement, security concerns, and incompatible versions. Use of such toxic information can have a strong negative effect on developer’s efficacy. This dissertation focuses specifically on software tutorials, aiming to automatically …
A Home Security System Based On Smartphone Sensors, Michael Mahler
A Home Security System Based On Smartphone Sensors, Michael Mahler
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Several new smartphones are released every year. Many people upgrade to new phones, and their old phones are not put to any further use. In this paper, we explore the feasibility of using such retired smartphones and their on-board sensors to build a home security system. We observe that door-related events such as opening and closing have unique vibration signatures when compared to many types of environmental vibrational noise. These events can be captured by the accelerometer of a smartphone when the phone is mounted on a wall near a door. The rotation of a door can also be captured …
Support Vector Machines For Image Spam Analysis, Aneri Chavda, Katerina Potika, Fabio Di Troia, Mark Stamp
Support Vector Machines For Image Spam Analysis, Aneri Chavda, Katerina Potika, Fabio Di Troia, Mark Stamp

Email is one of the most common forms of digital communication. Spam is unsolicited bulk email, while image spam consists of spam text embedded inside an image. Image spam is used as a means to evade text-based spam filters, and hence image spam poses a threat to email-based communication. In this research, we analyze image spam detection using support vector machines (SVMs), which we train on a wide variety of image features. We use a linear SVM to quantify the relative importance of the features under consideration. We also develop and analyze a realistic “challenge” dataset that illustrates the limitations …
Explorations Into Machine Learning Techniques For Precipitation Nowcasting, Aditya Nagarajan
Explorations Into Machine Learning Techniques For Precipitation Nowcasting, Aditya Nagarajan
Masters Theses
Recent advances in cloud-based big-data technologies now makes data driven solutions feasible for increasing numbers of scientific computing applications. One such data driven solution approach is machine learning where patterns in large data sets are brought to the surface by finding complex mathematical relationships within the data. Nowcasting or short-term prediction of rainfall in a given region is an important problem in meteorology. In this thesis we explore the nowcasting problem through a data driven approach by formulating it as a machine learning problem.
State-of-the-art nowcasting systems today are based on numerical models which describe the physical processes leading to …
Context-Aware Debugging For Concurrent Programs, Justin Chu
Context-Aware Debugging For Concurrent Programs, Justin Chu
Theses and Dissertations--Computer Science
Concurrency faults are difficult to reproduce and localize because they usually occur under specific inputs and thread interleavings. Most existing fault localization techniques focus on sequential programs but fail to identify faulty memory access patterns across threads, which are usually the root causes of concurrency faults. Moreover, existing techniques for sequential programs cannot be adapted to identify faulty paths in concurrent programs. While concurrency fault localization techniques have been proposed to analyze passing and failing executions obtained from running a set of test cases to identify faulty access patterns, they primarily focus on using statistical analysis. We present a novel …
Evaluating Defect Prediction Using A Massive Set Of Metrics, Xiao Xuan, David Lo, Xin Xia, Yuan Tian
Evaluating Defect Prediction Using A Massive Set Of Metrics, Xiao Xuan, David Lo, Xin Xia, Yuan Tian
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
To evaluate the performance of a within-project defect prediction approach, people normally use precision, recall, and F-measure scores. However, in machine learning literature, there are a large number of evaluation metrics to evaluate the performance of an algorithm, (e.g., Matthews Correlation Coefficient, G-means, etc.), and these metrics evaluate an approach from different aspects. In this paper, we investigate the performance of within-project defect prediction approaches on a large number of evaluation metrics. We choose 6 state-of-the-art approaches including naive Bayes, decision tree, logistic regression, kNN, random forest and Bayesian network which are widely used in defect prediction literature. And we …
Challenges For Mapreduce In Big Data, Katarina Grolinger, Michael Hayes, Wilson Higashino, Alexandra L'Heureux, David Allison, Miriam Capretz
Challenges For Mapreduce In Big Data, Katarina Grolinger, Michael Hayes, Wilson Higashino, Alexandra L'Heureux, David Allison, Miriam Capretz

In the Big Data community, MapReduce has been seen as one of the key enabling approaches for meeting continuously increasing demands on computing resources imposed by massive data sets. The reason for this is the high scalability of the MapReduce paradigm which allows for massively parallel and distributed execution over a large number of computing nodes. This paper identifies MapReduce issues and challenges in handling Big Data with the objective of providing an overview of the field, facilitating better planning and management of Big Data projects, and identifying opportunities for future research in this field. The identified challenges are grouped …

An Automatic Framework For Embryonic Localization Using Edges In A Scale Space, Zachary Bessinger
An Automatic Framework For Embryonic Localization Using Edges In A Scale Space, Zachary Bessinger
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
Localization of Drosophila embryos in images is a fundamental step in an automatic computational system for the exploration of gene-gene interaction on Drosophila. Contour extraction of embryonic images is challenging due to many variations in embryonic images. In the thesis work, we develop a localization framework based on the analysis of connected components of edge pixels in a scale space. We propose criteria to select optimal scales for embryonic localization. Furthermore, we propose a scale mapping strategy to compress the range of a scale space in order to improve the efficiency of the localization framework. The effectiveness of the proposed …
