Human Trafficking And Machine Learning: A Data Pipeline From Law Agencies To Research Groups, Nathaniel Hites May 2022

Human Trafficking And Machine Learning: A Data Pipeline From Law Agencies To Research Groups, Nathaniel Hites

Computer Science and Engineering Theses and Dissertations

Human trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery that, while highly illegal, is more dangerous with the advancements of modern technology (such as the Internet), which allows such a practice to spread more easily and quickly all over the world. While the number of victims of human trafficking is large (according to non-profit organization Safe House, there are estimated to be about 20.5 million human trafficking victims, worldwide (“Human Trafficking Statistics & Facts.” Safe Horizon)- co-erced or manipulated by traffickers into either forced labor, or sexual exploitation and encounters), the number of heard cases is proportionally low- several thousand successful …


Cognition And Context-Aware Computing: Towards A Situation-Aware System With A Case Study In Aviation, Justin C. Wilson Aug 2020

Cognition And Context-Aware Computing: Towards A Situation-Aware System With A Case Study In Aviation, Justin C. Wilson

Computer Science and Engineering Theses and Dissertations

In aviation, flight instructors seek to comprehend the intent and awareness of their students. With this awareness, derived from in-flight observation and post-flight examination, a human instructor can infer the internal contexts of their student aviators as they perform. It is this understanding that is fundamental for evaluating student development. Further, a well-understood construct for describing the state of knowledge about a dynamic environment is known as situational awareness (SA). Often pilot error is associated with SA [80], and it is fundamental to flight safety and mission execution. If these contexts can be automatically inferred, instructors and students can more …


Understanding Natural Keyboard Typing Using Convolutional Neural Networks On Mobile Sensor Data, Travis Siems Apr 2018

Understanding Natural Keyboard Typing Using Convolutional Neural Networks On Mobile Sensor Data, Travis Siems

Computer Science and Engineering Theses and Dissertations

Mobile phones and other devices with embedded sensors are becoming increasingly ubiquitous. Audio and motion sensor data may be able to detect information that we did not think possible. Some researchers have created models that can predict computer keyboard typing from a nearby mobile device; however, certain limitations to their experiment setup and methods compelled us to be skeptical of the models’ realistic prediction capability. We investigate the possibility of understanding natural keyboard typing from mobile phones by performing a well-designed data collection experiment that encourages natural typing and interactions. This data collection helps capture realistic vulnerabilities of the security …
