Making A Good Thing Better: Enhancing Password/Pin-Based User Authentication With Smartwatch, Bing Chang, Yingjiu Li, Qiongxiao Wang, Wen-Tao Zhu, Robert H. Deng Dec 2018

Making A Good Thing Better: Enhancing Password/Pin-Based User Authentication With Smartwatch, Bing Chang, Yingjiu Li, Qiongxiao Wang, Wen-Tao Zhu, Robert H. Deng

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Wearing smartwatches becomes increasingly popular in people’s lives. This paper shows that a smartwatch can help its bearer authenticate to a login system effectively and securely even if the bearer’s password has already been revealed. This idea is motivated by our observation that a sensor-rich smartwatch is capable of tracking the wrist motions of its bearer typing a password or PIN, which can be used as an authentication factor. The major challenge in this research is that a sophisticated attacker may imitate a user’s typing behavior as shown in previous research on keystroke dynamics based user authentication. We address this …


Improving Knowledge Tracing Model By Integrating Problem Difficulty, Sein Minn, Feida Zhu, Michel C. Desmarais Nov 2018

Improving Knowledge Tracing Model By Integrating Problem Difficulty, Sein Minn, Feida Zhu, Michel C. Desmarais

Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) are designed for providing personalized instructions to students with the needs of their skills. Assessment of student knowledge acquisition dynamically is nontrivial during her learning process with ITS. Knowledge tracing, a popular student modeling technique for student knowledge assessment in adaptive tutoring, which is used for tracing student's knowledge state and detecting student's knowledge acquisition by using decomposed individual skill or problems with a single skill per problem. Unfortunately, recent KT models fail to deal with practices of complex skill composition and variety of concepts included in a problem simultaneously. Our goal is to investigate a …


Learning Generalized Video Memory For Automatic Video Captioning, Poo-Hee Chang, Ah-Hwee Tan Nov 2018

Learning Generalized Video Memory For Automatic Video Captioning, Poo-Hee Chang, Ah-Hwee Tan

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Recent video captioning methods have made great progress by deep learning approaches with convolutional neural networks (CNN) and recurrent neural networks (RNN). While there are techniques that use memory networks for sentence decoding, few work has leveraged on the memory component to learn and generalize the temporal structure in video. In this paper, we propose a new method, namely Generalized Video Memory (GVM), utilizing a memory model for enhancing video description generation. Based on a class of self-organizing neural networks, GVM’s model is able to learn new video features incrementally. The learned generalized memory is further exploited to decode the …

In past years, deep convolutional neural networks (DCNN) have achieved big successes in image classification and object detection, as demonstrated on ImageNet in academic field. However, There are some unique practical challenges remain for real-world image recognition applications, e.g., small size of the objects, imbalanced data distributions, limited labeled data samples, etc. In this work, we are making efforts to deal with these challenges through a computational framework by incorporating latest developments in deep learning. In terms of two-stage detection scheme, pseudo labeling, data augmentation, cross-validation and ensemble learning, the proposed framework aims to achieve better performances for practical image …


Deep Code Comment Generation, Xing Hu, Ge Li, Xin Xia, David Lo, Zhi Jin May 2018

Deep Code Comment Generation, Xing Hu, Ge Li, Xin Xia, David Lo, Zhi Jin

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

During software maintenance, code comments help developerscomprehend programs and reduce additional time spent on readingand navigating source code. Unfortunately, these comments areoften mismatched, missing or outdated in the software projects.Developers have to infer the functionality from the source code.This paper proposes a new approach named DeepCom to automatically generate code comments for Java methods. The generatedcomments aim to help developers understand the functionalityof Java methods. DeepCom applies Natural Language Processing(NLP) techniques to learn from a large code corpus and generatescomments from learned features. We use a deep neural networkthat analyzes structural information of Java methods for bettercomments generation. We conduct …


Attributed Social Network Embedding, Lizi Liao, Xiangnan He, Hanwang Zhang, Tat-Seng Chua Mar 2018

Attributed Social Network Embedding, Lizi Liao, Xiangnan He, Hanwang Zhang, Tat-Seng Chua

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Embedding network data into a low-dimensional vector space has shown promising performance for many real-world applications, such as node classification and entity retrieval. However, most existing methods focused only on leveraging network structure. For social networks, besides the network structure, there also exists rich information about social actors, such as user profiles of friendship networks and textual content of citation networks. These rich attribute information of social actors reveal the homophily effect, exerting huge impacts on the formation of social networks. In this paper, we explore the rich evidence source of attributes in social networks to improve network embedding. We …
