Data-Driven Operational And Safety Analysis Of Emerging Shared Electric Scooter Systems, Qingyu Ma

Computational Modeling & Simulation Engineering Theses & Dissertations

The rapid rise of shared electric scooter (E-Scooter) systems offers many urban areas a new micro-mobility solution. The portable and flexible characteristics have made E-Scooters a competitive mode for short-distance trips. Compared to other modes such as bikes, E-Scooters allow riders to freely ride on different facilities such as streets, sidewalks, and bike lanes. However, sharing lanes with vehicles and other users tends to cause safety issues for riding E-Scooters. Conventional methods are often not applicable for analyzing such safety issues because well-archived historical crash records are not commonly available for emerging E-Scooters.

Perceiving the growth of such a micro-mobility …

Tweet-To-Act: Towards Tweet-Mining Framework For Extracting Terrorist Attack-Related Information And Reporting, Farkhund Iqbal, Rabia Batool, Benjamin C. M. Fung, Saiqa Aleem, Ahmed Abbasi, Abdul Rehman Javed

All Works

The widespread popularity of social networking is leading to the adoption of Twitter as an information dissemination tool. Existing research has shown that information dissemination over Twitter has a much broader reach than traditional media and can be used for effective post-incident measures. People use informal language on Twitter, including acronyms, misspelled words, synonyms, transliteration, and ambiguous terms. This makes incident-related information extraction a non-trivial task. However, this information can be valuable for public safety organizations that need to respond in an emergency. This paper proposes an early event-related information extraction and reporting framework that monitors Twitter streams, synthesizes event-specific …

Characterizing Search Activities On Stack Overflow, Jiakun Liu, Sebastian Baltes, Christoph Treude, David Lo, Yun Zhang, Xin Xia

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

To solve programming issues, developers commonly search on Stack Overflow to seek potential solutions. However, there is a gap between the knowledge developers are interested in and the knowledge they are able to retrieve using search engines. To help developers efficiently retrieve relevant knowledge on Stack Overflow, prior studies proposed several techniques to reformulate queries and generate summarized answers. However, few studies performed a large-scale analysis using real-world search logs. In this paper, we characterize how developers search on Stack Overflow using such logs. By doing so, we identify the challenges developers face when searching on Stack Overflow and seek …

Modeling Of Argon Bombardment And Densification Of Low Temperature Organic Precursors Using Reactive Md Simulations And Machine Learning, Kwabena Asante-Boahen

MSU Graduate Theses

In this study, an important aspect of the synthesis process for a-BxC:Hy was systematically modeled by utilizing the Reactive Molecular Dynamics (MD) in modeling the argon bombardment from the orthocarborane molecules as the precursor. The MD simulations are used to assess the dynamics associated with the free radicals that result from the ion bombardment. By applying the Data Mining/Machine Learning analysis into the datasets generated from the large reactive MD simulations, I was able to identify and quality the kinetics of these radicals. Overall, this approach allows for a better understanding of the overall mechanism at the atomistic level of …

Exploring The Use Of Social Media To Infer Relationships Between Demographics, Psychographics And Vaccine Hesitancy, Abhimanyu Kapur

Computer Science Senior Theses

The growing popularity of social media as a platform to obtain information and share one's opinions on various topics makes it a rich source of information for research. In this study, we aimed to develop a framework to infer relationships between demographic and psychographic characteristics of a user and their opinion on a specific narrative - in this case, their stance on taking the COVID-19 vaccine. Twitter was the chosen platform due to the large USA user base and easily available data. Demographic traits included Race, Age, Gender, and Human-vs-Organization Status. Psychographic traits included the Big Five personality traits (Conscientiousness, …

Mining Subgroups From Temporal Data : From The Parts To The Whole, Alexander Gorovits

Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)

A variety of dynamic systems can be broken down into potentially overlapping subcomponents with varying temporal behavior, ranging from communities in networks, to clusters of trajectories in spatiotemporal data, to co-evolving subsets within multivariate time series. Using explicit regularization on various temporal behaviors within a tensor factorizationframework, I demonstrate means to mine these subgroups along with their temporal activities, as well as how that yields information about the overall systems. Additionally, I adapt this notion of temporal communities to the spatiotemporal setting to develop a reinforcement learning approach for optimizing co-ordinated communication between independent agents.

Robust Inference Of Kinase Activity Using Functional Networks, Serhan Yılmaz, Marzieh Ayati, Daniela Schlatzer, A. Ercüment Çiçek, Mark A. Chance, Mehmet Koyutürk

Computer Science Faculty Publications and Presentations

Mass spectrometry enables high-throughput screening of phosphoproteins across a broad range of biological contexts. When complemented by computational algorithms, phospho-proteomic data allows the inference of kinase activity, facilitating the identification of dysregulated kinases in various diseases including cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. To enhance the reliability of kinase activity inference, we present a network-based framework, RoKAI, that integrates various sources of functional information to capture coordinated changes in signaling. Through computational experiments, we show that phosphorylation of sites in the functional neighborhood of a kinase are significantly predictive of its activity. The incorporation of this knowledge in RoKAI consistently …

Binary Black Widow Optimization Algorithm For Feature Selection Problems, Ahmed Al-Saedi

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

This thesis addresses feature selection (FS) problems, which is a primary stage in data mining. FS is a significant pre-processing stage to enhance the performance of the process with regards to computation cost and accuracy to offer a better comprehension of stored data by removing the unnecessary and irrelevant features from the basic dataset. However, because of the size of the problem, FS is known to be very challenging and has been classified as an NP-hard problem. Traditional methods can only be used to solve small problems. Therefore, metaheuristic algorithms (MAs) are becoming powerful methods for addressing the FS problems. …
