Unmasking Shadows: Unraveling Crime Patterns In Nyc's Boroughs, Jack Hachicho, Muhammad Hassan Butt

Publications and Research

New York City's crime dynamics have been on the rise for decades. Brooklyn and The Bronx have been disproportionately affected. This research aims to understand the crime landscape in these boroughs to formulate effective policies. Using crime data from official sources, statistical analyses, and data visualizations, the study identifies patterns and trends. The data encompasses over 400,000 reported incidents collected over the past 10 years, meticulously categorized by borough, crime type, and demographic information. Brooklyn has the highest overall crime rate, followed by The Bronx. Most shooting victims are Black. This highlights the need for holistic community programs to address …

Μakka: Mutation Testing For Actor Concurrency In Akka Using Real-World Bugs, Mohsen Moradi Moghadam, Mehdi Bagherzadeh, Raffi Takvor Khatchadourian Ph,D,, Hamid Bagheri

Publications and Research

Actor concurrency is becoming increasingly important in the real-world and mission-critical software. This requires these applications to be free from actor bugs, that occur in the real world, and have tests that are effective in finding these bugs. Mutation testing is a well-established technique that transforms an application to induce its likely bugs and evaluate the effectiveness of its tests in finding these bugs. Mutation testing is available for a broad spectrum of applications and their bugs, ranging from web to mobile to machine learning, and is used at scale in companies like Google and Facebook. However, there still is …

Towards Safe Automated Refactoring Of Imperative Deep Learning Programs To Graph Execution, Raffi Takvor Khatchadourian Ph.D., Tatiana Castro Vélez, Mehdi Bagherzadeh, Nan Jia, Anita Raja

Publications and Research

Efficiency is essential to support responsiveness w.r.t. ever-growing datasets, especially for Deep Learning (DL) systems. DL frameworks have traditionally embraced deferred execution-style DL code—supporting symbolic, graph-based Deep Neural Network (DNN) computation. While scalable, such development is error-prone, non-intuitive, and difficult to debug. Consequently, more natural, imperative DL frameworks encouraging eager execution have emerged at the expense of run-time performance. Though hybrid approaches aim for the “best of both worlds,” using them effectively requires subtle considerations to make code amenable to safe, accurate, and efficient graph execution. We present our ongoing work on automated refactoring that assists developers in specifying whether …

Ai-Supported Academic Advising: Exploring Chatgpt’S Current State And Future Potential Toward Student Empowerment, Daisuke Akiba, Michelle C. Fraboni

Publications and Research

Artificial intelligence (AI), once a phenomenon primarily in the world of science fiction, has evolved rapidly in recent years, steadily infiltrating into our daily lives. ChatGPT, a freely accessible AI-powered large language model designed to generate human-like text responses to users, has been utilized in several areas, such as the healthcare industry, to facilitate interactive dissemination of information and decision-making. Academic advising has been essential in promoting success among university students, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds. Unfortunately, however, student advising has been marred with problems, with the availability and accessibility of adequate advising being among the hurdles. The current study …

Artificial Intelligence In Neuroradiology: A Scoping Review Of Some Ethical Challenges, Pegah Khosravi, Mark Schweitzer

Publications and Research

Artificial intelligence (AI) has great potential to increase accuracy and efficiency in many aspects of neuroradiology. It provides substantial opportunities for insights into brain pathophysiology, developing models to determine treatment decisions, and improving current prognostication as well as diagnostic algorithms. Concurrently, the autonomous use of AI models introduces ethical challenges regarding the scope of informed consent, risks associated with data privacy and protection, potential database biases, as well as responsibility and liability that might potentially arise. In this manuscript, we will first provide a brief overview of AI methods used in neuroradiology and segue into key methodological and ethical challenges. …

Understanding Data Mining And Its Relation To Information Systems, Malak Alammari

Publications and Research

This research project aims to enrich an Open Educational Resource (OER) textbook on Introduction to Information Systems/Technology with a focus on data mining and its relation to hardware and software components of information systems. The study will address the following research questions: (1) What is data mining? and (2) How does data relate to the hardware and software components of information systems? To answer these questions, the researcher will conduct research to ascertain the current state of data mining and its relevance in the field of information systems/technology. The results of the research will be incorporated into an existing OER …

Augmented & Virtual Reality: Advancement Of Technology And Its Impacts On Medicine, Education, And Other Industries, Yassine Chahid

Publications and Research

Throughout the early 2000s, the ways in which the World Wide Web was used would undergo major changes. The introduction of these changes around this time period would be collectively known as Web 2.0. With Web 2.0, accessibility and distribution of applications became more simplified. During the 2000s, much has evolved from hard capabilities to the internet and its widespread usage amongst companies and general consumers. In contemporary times, multiple technologies, both hardware and digital are becoming more advanced, with general consumers either rejecting or accepting these gradual shifts in what may become everyday technology. Web 3.0, the theoretical advancement …
