Prediction-Based Gesture Detection In Lecture Videos By Combining Visual, Speech And Electronic Slides, Feng Wang, Chong-Wah Ngo, Ting-Chuen Pong
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
This paper presents an efficient algorithm for gesture detection in lecture videos by combining visual, speech and electronic slides. Besides accuracy, response time is also considered to cope with the efficiency requirements of real-time applications. Candidate gestures are first detected by visual cue. Then we modifity HMM models for complete gestures to predict and recognize incomplete gestures before the whole gestures paths are observed. Gesture recognition is used to verify the results of gesture detection. The relations between visual, speech and slides are analyzed. The correspondence between speech and gesture is employed to improve the accuracy and the responsiveness of …

The workload management layer is configured to assign a workload to application containers based on the quality of service metrics received by the application containers.
Autonomic Management Of Stream Processing Applications Via Adaptive Bandwidth Control, Dimitrios Pendarakis, Jeremy Silber, Laura Wynter
Autonomic Management Of Stream Processing Applications Via Adaptive Bandwidth Control, Dimitrios Pendarakis, Jeremy Silber, Laura Wynter
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
We present a novel autonomic control system for high performance stream processing systems. The system uses bandwidth controls on incoming or outgoing streams to achieve a desired resource utilization balance among a set of concurrently executing stream processing tasks. We show that CPU prioritization and allocation mechanisms in schedulers and virtual machine managers are not sufficient to control such I/O-centric applications, and present an autonomic bandwidth control system that adaptively adjusts incoming and outgoing traffic rates to achieve system management goals. The system dynamically learns the bandwidth rate necessary to meet the system management goals using stochastic nonlinear optimization, and …
Extraction Of Coherent Relevant Passages Using Hidden Markov Models, Jing Jiang, Chengxiang Zhai
Extraction Of Coherent Relevant Passages Using Hidden Markov Models, Jing Jiang, Chengxiang Zhai
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In information retrieval, retrieving relevant passages, as opposed to whole documents, not only directly benefits the end user by filtering out the irrelevant information within a long relevant document, but also improves retrieval accuracy in general. A critical problem in passage retrieval is to extract coherent relevant passages accurately from a document, which we refer to as passage extraction. While much work has been done on passage retrieval, the passage extraction problem has not been seriously studied. Most existing work tends to rely on presegmenting documents into fixed-length passages which are unlikely optimal because the length of a relevant passage …

Crossing The Chasm: The Xid Technologies Story, Arcot Desai Narasimhalu, Roberto Mariani
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
XID Technologies is a face processing start up company built initially around a disruptive face recognition technology. The technology innovation came from Kent Ridge Digital Labs, a publicly funded software research laboratory in Singapore. Face recognition is the least intrusive and harmless among the various biometric solutions available in the market. The basic approach to human face recognition is to identify a robust feature set that was unique enough to differentiate amongst the many millions of human faces that the system was required to verify. The technology innovation used by XID framed the problem differently and thereby overcame the challenges …
Private Information Retrieval Using Trusted Hardware, Shuhong Wang, Xuhua Ding, Robert H. Deng, Feng Bao
Private Information Retrieval Using Trusted Hardware, Shuhong Wang, Xuhua Ding, Robert H. Deng, Feng Bao
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Many theoretical PIR (Private Information Retrieval) constructions have been proposed in the past years. Though information theoretically secure, most of them are impractical to deploy due to the prohibitively high communication and computation complexity. The recent trend in outsourcing databases fuels the research on practical PIR schemes. In this paper, we propose a new PIR system by making use of trusted hardware. Our system is proven to be information theoretically secure. Furthermore, we derive the computation complexity lower bound for hardware-based PIR schemes and show that our construction meets the lower bounds for both the communication and computation costs, respectively.

A Novel Privacy Preserving Authentication And Access Control Scheme For Pervasive Computing Environments, K. Ren, Wenjing Lou, K. Kim, Robert H. Deng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Privacy and security are two important but seemingly contradictory objectives in a pervasive computing environment (PCE). On one hand, service providers want to authenticate legitimate users and make sure they are accessing their authorized services in a legal way. On the other hand, users want to maintain the necessary privacy without being tracked down for wherever they are and whatever they are doing. In this paper, a novel privacy preserving authentication and access control scheme to secure the interactions between mobile users and services in PCEs is proposed. The proposed scheme seamlessly integrates two underlying cryptographic primitives, namely blind signature …
Authenticating Multi-Dimensional Query Results In Data Publishing, Weiwei Cheng, Hwee Hwa Pang, Kian-Lee Tan
Authenticating Multi-Dimensional Query Results In Data Publishing, Weiwei Cheng, Hwee Hwa Pang, Kian-Lee Tan
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In data publishing, the owner delegates the role of satisfying user queries to a third-party publisher. As the publisher may be untrusted or susceptible to attacks, it could produce incorrect query results. This paper introduces a mechanism for users to verify that their query answers on a multi-dimensional dataset are correct, in the sense of being complete (i.e., no qualifying data points are omitted) and authentic (i.e., all the result values originated from the owner). Our approach is to add authentication information into a spatial data structure, by constructing certified chains on the points within each partition, as well as …
Batch Mode Active Learning And Its Applications To Medical Image Classification, Steven C. H. Hoi, Rong Jin, Jianke Zhu, Michael R. Lyu
Batch Mode Active Learning And Its Applications To Medical Image Classification, Steven C. H. Hoi, Rong Jin, Jianke Zhu, Michael R. Lyu
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The goal of active learning is to select the most informative examples for manual labeling. Most of the previous studies in active learning have focused on selecting a single unlabeled example in each iteration. This could be inefficient since the classification model has to be retrained for every labeled example. In this paper, we present a framework for "batch mode active learning" that applies the Fisher information matrix to select a number of informative examples simultaneously. The key computational challenge is how to efficiently identify the subset of unlabeled examples that can result in the largest reduction in the Fisher …
Learning Distance Metrics With Contextual Constraints For Image Retrieval, Steven C. H. Hoi, Wei Liu, Michael R. Lyu, Wei-Ying Ma
Learning Distance Metrics With Contextual Constraints For Image Retrieval, Steven C. H. Hoi, Wei Liu, Michael R. Lyu, Wei-Ying Ma
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Relevant Component Analysis (RCA) has been proposed for learning distance metrics with contextual constraints for image retrieval. However, RCA has two important disadvantages. One is the lack of exploiting negative constraints which can also be informative, and the other is its incapability of capturing complex nonlinear relationships between data instances with the contextual information. In this paper, we propose two algorithms to overcome these two disadvantages, i.e., Discriminative Component Analysis (DCA) and Kernel DCA. Compared with other complicated methods for distance metric learning, our algorithms are rather simple to understand and very easy to solve. We evaluate the performance of …

Interactive storytelling attracts a lot of research interests among the interactive entertainments in recent years. Designing story plot for interactive storytelling is currently one of the most critical problems of interactive storytelling. Some traditional AI planning methods, such as Hierarchical Task Network, Heuristic Searching Method are widely used as the planning tool for the story plot design. This paper proposes a model called Fuzzy Cognitive Goal Net as the story plot planning tool for interactive storytelling, which combines the planning capability of Goal net and reasoning ability of Fuzzy Cognitive Maps. Compared to conventional methods, the proposed model shows a …
Exploiting Domain Structure For Named Entity Recognition, Jing Jiang, Chengxiang Zhai
Exploiting Domain Structure For Named Entity Recognition, Jing Jiang, Chengxiang Zhai
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Named Entity Recognition (NER) is a fundamental task in text mining and natural language understanding. Current approaches to NER (mostly based on supervised learning) perform well on domains similar to the training domain, but they tend to adapt poorly to slightly different domains. We present several strategies for exploiting the domain structure in the training data to learn a more robust named entity recognizer that can perform well on a new domain. First, we propose a simple yet effective way to automatically rank features based on their generalizabilities across domains. We then train a classifier with strong emphasis on the …
Cognitive Mapping Techniques For User-Database Interaction, Keng Siau, X. Tan
Cognitive Mapping Techniques For User-Database Interaction, Keng Siau, X. Tan
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In this paper, we first develop a framework of user-database interaction. Based on this framework, we then provide a discussion on how notable human factors influence various dimensions of user-database interaction. Following that, we propose using cognitive mapping techniques to overcome some cognitive and behavioral biases during user-database interaction. Three popular cognitive mapping techniques-causal mapping, semantic mapping, and concept mapping-are introduced as techniques to elicit an individual's belief systems regarding a problem domain. Through an example database application, we demonstrate how to use these cognitive mapping techniques to improve user-database interaction. Finally, we discuss the implications of this research for …
Security Analysis On A Conference Scheme For Mobile Communications, Zhiguo Wan, Feng Bao, Robert H. Deng, A. L. Ananda
Security Analysis On A Conference Scheme For Mobile Communications, Zhiguo Wan, Feng Bao, Robert H. Deng, A. L. Ananda
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The conference key distribution scheme (CKDS) enables three or more parties to derive a common conference key to protect the conversation content in their conference. Designing a conference key distribution scheme for mobile communications is a difficult task because wireless networks are more susceptible to attacks and mobile devices usually obtain low power and limited computing capability. In this paper we study a conference scheme for mobile communications and find that the scheme is insecure against the replay attack. With our replay attack, an attacker with a compromised conference key can cause the conferees to reuse the compromised conference key, …

Multilearner Based Recursive Supervised Training, Kiruthika Ramanathan, Sheng Uei Guan, Laxmi R. Iyer
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In supervised learning, most single solution neural networks such as constructive backpropagation give good results when used with some datasets but not with others. Others such as probabilistic neural networks (PNN) fit a curve to perfection but need to be manually tuned in the case of noisy data. Recursive percentage based hybrid pattern training (RPHP) overcomes this problem by recursively training subsets of the data, thereby using several neural networks. MultiLearner based recursive training (MLRT) is an extension of this approach, where a combination of existing and new learners are used and subsets are trained using the weak learner which …

Can Online Reviews Reveal A Product's True Quality? Empirical Findings Analytical Modeling Of Online Word-Of-Mouth Communication, Nan Hu, Paul Pavlou, Jennifer Zhang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
As a digital version of word-of-mouth, online review has become a major information source for consumers and has very important implications for a wide range of management activities. While some researchers focus their studies on the impact of online product review on sales, an important assumption remains unexamined, that is, can online product review reveal the true quality of the product? To test the validity of this key assumption, this paper first empirically tests the underlying distribution of online reviews with data from Amazon. The results show that 53% of the products have a bimodal and non-normal distribution. For these …

On The Release Of Crls In Public Key Infrastructure, Chengyu Ma, Nan Hu, Yingjiu Li
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Public key infrastructure provides a promising foundation for verifying the authenticity of communicating parties and transferring trust over the internet. The key issue in public key infrastructure is how to process certificate revocations. Previous research in this aspect has concentrated on the tradeoffs that can be made among different revocation options. No rigorous efforts have been made to understand the probability distribution of certificate revocation requests based on real empirical data. In this study, we first collect real empirical data from VeriSign and derive the probability function for certificate revocation requests. We then prove that a revocation system will become …

Time-Dependent Semantic Similarity Measure Of Queries Using Historical Click-Through Data, Qiankun Zhao, Steven C. H. Hoi, Tie-Yan Liu, Sourav S. Bhowmick, Michael R. Lyu, Wei-Ying Ma
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
It has become a promising direction to measure similarity of Web search queries by mining the increasing amount of click-through data logged by Web search engines, which record the interactions between users and the search engines. Most existing approaches employ the click-through data for similarity measure of queries with little consideration of the temporal factor, while the click-through data is often dynamic and contains rich temporal information. In this paper we present a new framework of time-dependent query semantic similarity model on exploiting the temporal characteristics of historical click-through data. The intuition is that more accurate semantic similarity values between …

Osprey: A Practical Type System For Validating Dimensional Unit Correctness Of C Programs, Lingxiao Jiang, Zhendong Su
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Misuse of measurement units is a common source of errors in scientific applications, but standard type systems do not prevent such errors. Dimensional analysis in physics can be used to manually detect such errors in physical equations. It is, however, not feasible to perform such manual analysis for programs computing physical equations because of code complexity. In this paper, we present a type system to automatically detect potential errors involving measurement units. It is constraint-based: we model units as types and flow of units as constraints. However, standard type checking algorithms are not powerful enough to handle units because of …
Large-Scale Text Categorization By Batch Mode Active Learning, Steven C. H. Hoi, Rong Jin, Michael R. Lyu
Large-Scale Text Categorization By Batch Mode Active Learning, Steven C. H. Hoi, Rong Jin, Michael R. Lyu
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Large-scale text categorization is an important research topic for Web data mining. One of the challenges in large-scale text categorization is how to reduce the human efforts in labeling text documents for building reliable classification models. In the past, there have been many studies on applying active learning methods to automatic text categorization, which try to select the most informative documents for labeling manually. Most of these studies focused on selecting a single unlabeled document in each iteration. As a result, the text categorization model has to be retrained after each labeled document is solicited. In this paper, we present …
Gestalt-Based Feature Similarity Measure In Trademark Database, Hui Jiang, Chong-Wah Ngo, Hung-Khoon Tan
Gestalt-Based Feature Similarity Measure In Trademark Database, Hui Jiang, Chong-Wah Ngo, Hung-Khoon Tan
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Motivated by the studies in Gestalt principle, this paper describes a novel approach on the adaptive selection of visual features for trademark retrieval. We consider five kinds of visual saliencies: symmetry, continuity, proximity, parallelism and closure property. The first saliency is based on Zernike moments, while the others are modeled by geometric elements extracted illusively as a whole from a trademark. Given a query trademark, we adaptively determine the features appropriate for retrieval by investigating its visual saliencies. We show that in most cases, either geometric or symmetric features can give us good enough accuracy. To measure the similarity of …

Mining Rdf Metadata For Generalized Association Rules: Knowledge Discovery In The Semantic Web Era, Tao Jiang, Ah-Hwee Tan
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In this paper, we present a novel frequent generalized pattern mining algorithm, called GP-Close, for mining generalized associations from RDF metadata. To solve the over-generalization problem encountered by existing methods, GP-Close employs the notion of emphgeneralization closure for systematic over-generalization reduction.

Discovering Causal Dependencies In Mobile Context-Aware Recommenders, Ghim-Eng Yap, Ah-Hwee Tan, Hwee Hwa Pang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Mobile context-aware recommender systems face unique challenges in acquiring context. Resource limitations make minimizing context acquisition a practical need, while the uncertainty inherent to the mobile environment makes missing context values a major concern. This paper introduces a scalable mechanism based on Bayesian network learning in a tiered context model to overcome both of these challenges. Extensive experiments on a restaurant recommender system showed that our mechanism can accurately discover causal dependencies among context, thereby enabling the effective identification of the minimal set of important context for a specific user and task, as well as providing highly accurate recommendations even …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Next-generation converged networks shall deliver many innovative services over the standardized SIPbased IMS signaling infrastructure. Several such services exploit the joint presence information of a consumer, i.e. SIP entity requesting a service, and a vendor, i.e. SIP resource providing a service. Presence information is a collection of contextual attributes (e.g. location, availability, reputation), some of which change dynamically. Moreover, this collective presence information is distributed across multiple presence servers. While performing query matching based on joint presence information, a server usually routes each query to a locally available resource. However, skews in the spatio-temporal distribution of queries and resources may …

On In-Network Synopsis Join Processing For Sensor Networks, Hai Yu, Ee Peng Lim, Jun Zhang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The emergence of sensor networks enables applications that deploy sensors to collaboratively monitor environment and process data collected. In some scenarios, we are interested in using join queries to correlate data stored in different regions of a sensor network, where the data volume is large, making it prohibitive to transmit all data to a central server for joining. In this paper, we present an in-network synopsis join strategy for evaluating join queries in sensor networks with communication efficiency. In this strategy, we prune data that do not contribute to the join results in the early stage of the join processing, …
Clip-Based Similarity Measure For Query-Dependent Clip Retrieval And Video Summarization, Yuxin Peng, Chong-Wah Ngo
Clip-Based Similarity Measure For Query-Dependent Clip Retrieval And Video Summarization, Yuxin Peng, Chong-Wah Ngo
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
This paper proposes a new approach and algorithm for the similarity measure of video clips. The similarity is mainly based on two bipartite graph matching algorithms: maximum matching (MM) and optimal matching (OM). MM is able to rapidly filter irrelevant video clips, while OM is capable of ranking the similarity of clips according to visual and granularity factors. We apply the similarity measure for two tasks: retrieval and summarization. In video retrieval, a hierarchical retrieval framework is constructed based on MM and OM. The validity of the framework is theoretically proved and empirically verified on a video database of 21 …

Winning Back The Cup For Distributed Pomdps: Planning Over Continuous Belief Spaces, Pradeep Varakantham, Ranjit Nair, Milind Tambe, Makoto Yokoo
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Distributed Partially Observable Markov Decision Problems (Distributed POMDPs) are evolving as a popular approach for modeling multiagent systems, and many different algorithms have been proposed to obtain locally or globally optimal policies. Unfortunately, most of these algorithms have either been explicitly designed or experimentally evaluated assuming knowledge of a starting belief point, an assumption that often does not hold in complex, uncertain domains. Instead, in such domains, it is important for agents to explicitly plan over continuous belief spaces. This paper provides a novel algorithm to explicitly compute finite horizon policies over continuous belief spaces, without restricting the space of …

Real-Time Non-Rigid Shape Recovery Via Active Appearance Models For Augmented Reality, Jianke Zhu, Steven C. H. Hoi, Michael R. Lyu
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
One main challenge in Augmented Reality (AR) applications is to keep track of video objects with their movement, orientation, size, and position accurately. This poses a challenging task to recover nonrigid shape and global pose in real-time AR applications. This paper proposes a novel two-stage scheme for online non-rigid shape recovery toward AR applications using Active Appearance Models (AAMs). First, we construct 3D shape models from AAMs offline, which do not involve processing of the 3D scan data. Based on the computed 3D shape models, we propose an efficient online algorithm to estimate both 3D pose and non-rigid shape parameters …

The popular models for repairable item inventory, both in the literature as well as practical applications, assume that the demands for items are independent of the number of working systems. However this assumption can introduce a serious underestimation of availability when the number of working systems is small, the failure rate is high or the repair time is long. In this paper, we study a multi-echelon repairable item inventory system under the phenomenon of passivation, i.e. serviceable items are passivated (“switched off”) upon system failure. This work is motivated by corrective maintenance of high-cost technical equipment in the miltary. We …
