Online Passive Aggressive Active Learning And Its Applications, Jing Lu, Peilin Zhao, Steven C. H. Hoi Nov 2014

Online Passive Aggressive Active Learning And Its Applications, Jing Lu, Peilin Zhao, Steven C. H. Hoi

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

We investigate online active learning techniques for classification tasks in data stream mining applications. Unlike traditional learning approaches (either batch or online learning) that often require to request the class label of each incoming instance, online active learning queries only a subset of informative incoming instances to update the classification model, which aims to maximize classification performance using minimal human labeling effort during the entire online stream data mining task. In this paper, we present a new family of algorithms for online active learning called Passive-Aggressive Active (PAA) learning algorithms by adapting the popular Passive-Aggressive algorithms in an online active …


Active Code Search: Incorporating User Feedback To Improve Code Search Relevance, Shaowei Wang, David Lo, Lingxiao Jiang Sep 2014

Active Code Search: Incorporating User Feedback To Improve Code Search Relevance, Shaowei Wang, David Lo, Lingxiao Jiang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Code search techniques return relevant code fragments given a user query. They typically work in a passive mode: given a user query, a static list of code fragments sorted by the relevance scores decided by a code search technique is returned to the user. A user will go through the sorted list of returned code fragments from top to bottom. As the user checks each code fragment one by one, he or she will naturally form an opinion about the true relevance of the code fragment. In an active model, those opinions will be taken as feedbacks to the search …


Evolving An Information Systems Capstone Course To Align With The Fast Changing Singapore Marketplace, Chris Boesch, Benjamin Kok Siew Gan Jun 2014

Evolving An Information Systems Capstone Course To Align With The Fast Changing Singapore Marketplace, Chris Boesch, Benjamin Kok Siew Gan

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Every year, around fifty-five undergraduate teams of four to six students are required to complete a capstone course for the School of Information Systems at Singapore Management University. Each team spends approximately five months working with an industry sponsor using the latest tools and techniques. Students actively learn by implementing the system to solve a real world problem. In addition to delivering value to the local sponsor, our students learn specialized skills currently needed in the marketplace, which might not yet be incorporated into electives and core courses. In this paper, we discuss the tradeoffs of providing students and project …
