Iot In Smart Communities, Technologies And Applications., Muhammad Zaigham Abbas Shah Syed
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Internet of Things is a system that integrates different devices and technologies, removing the necessity of human intervention. This enables the capacity of having smart (or smarter) cities around the world. By hosting different technologies and allowing interactions between them, the internet of things has spearheaded the development of smart city systems for sustainable living, increased comfort and productivity for citizens. The Internet of Things (IoT) for Smart Cities has many different domains and draws upon various underlying systems for its operation, in this work, we provide a holistic coverage of the Internet of Things in Smart Cities by discussing …
Deception Detection Across Domains, Languages And Modalities, Subhadarshi Panda
Deception Detection Across Domains, Languages And Modalities, Subhadarshi Panda
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
With the increase of deception and misinformation especially in social media, it has become crucial to develop machine learning methods to automatically identify deception. In this dissertation, we identify key challenges underlying text-based deception detection in a cross-domain setting, where we do not have training data in the target domain. We analyze the differences between domains and as a result develop methods to improve cross-domain deception detection. We additionally develop approaches that take advantage of cross-lingual properties to support deception detection across languages. This involves the usage of either multilingual NLP models or translation models. Finally, to better understand multi-modal …
Anonymization & Generation Of Network Packet Datasets Using Deep Learning, Spencer K. Vecile
Anonymization & Generation Of Network Packet Datasets Using Deep Learning, Spencer K. Vecile
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Corporate networks are constantly bombarded by malicious actors trying to gain access. The current state of the art in protecting networks is deep learning-based intrusion detection systems (IDS). However, for an IDS to be effective it needs to be trained on a good dataset. The best datasets for training an IDS are real data captured from large corporate networks. Unfortunately, companies cannot release their network data due to privacy concerns creating a lack of public cybersecurity data. In this thesis I take a novel approach to network dataset anonymization using character-level LSTM models to learn the characteristics of a dataset; …

Learning With Limited Labeled Data For Image And Video Understanding, Razieh Kaviani Baghbaderani
Doctoral Dissertations
Deep learning-based algorithms have remarkably improved the performance in many computer vision tasks. However, deep networks often demand a large-scale and carefully annotated dataset and sufficient sample coverage of every training category. However, it is not practical in many real-world applications where only a few examples may be available, or the data annotation is costly and require expert knowledge. To mitigate this issue, learning with limited data has gained considerable attention and is investigated thorough different learning methods, including few-shot learning, weakly/semi supervised learning, open-set learning, etc.
In this work, the classification problem is investigated under an open-world assumption to …
Digitalization Of Construction Project Requirements Using Natural Language Processing (Nlp) Techniques, Fahad Ul Hassan
Digitalization Of Construction Project Requirements Using Natural Language Processing (Nlp) Techniques, Fahad Ul Hassan
All Dissertations
Contract documents are a critical legal component of a construction project that specify all wishes and expectations of the owner toward the design, construction, and handover of a project. A single contract package, especially of a design-build (DB) project, comprises hundreds of documents including thousands of requirements. Precise comprehension and management of the requirements are critical to ensure that all important explicit and implicit requirements of the project scope are captured, managed, and completed. Since requirements are mainly written in a natural human language, the current manual methods impose a significant burden on practitioners to process and restructure them into …
Extractive Text Summarization On Single Documents Using Deep Learning, Shehab Mostafa Abdel-Salam Mohamed
Extractive Text Summarization On Single Documents Using Deep Learning, Shehab Mostafa Abdel-Salam Mohamed
Theses and Dissertations
The task of summarization can be categorized into two methods, extractive and abstractive summarization. Extractive approach selects highly meaningful sentences to form a summary while the abstractive approach interprets the original document and generates the summary in its own words. The task of generating a summary, whether extractive or abstractive, has been studied with different approaches such as statistical-based, graph-based, and deep-learning based approaches. Deep learning has achieved promising performance in comparison with the classical approaches and with the evolution of neural networks such as the attention network or commonly known as the Transformer architecture, there are potential areas for …
