Dismastd: An Efficient Distributed Multi-Aspect Streaming Tensor Decomposition, Keyu Yang, Yunjun Gao, Yifeng Shen, Baihua Zheng, Lu Chen Apr 2021

Dismastd: An Efficient Distributed Multi-Aspect Streaming Tensor Decomposition, Keyu Yang, Yunjun Gao, Yifeng Shen, Baihua Zheng, Lu Chen

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Tensor decomposition is a fundamental multidimensional data analysis tool for many data-driven applications, such as social computing, computer vision, and bioinformatics, to name but a few. However, the rapidly increasing streaming data nowadays introduces new challenges to traditional static tensor decomposition. It requires an efficient distributed dynamic tensor decomposition without re-computing the whole tensor from scratch. In this paper, we propose DisMASTD, an efficient distributed multi-aspect streaming tensor decomposition. First, we prove the optimal tensor partitioning problem is NP-hard. Second, we present two heuristic tensor partitioning approaches to ensure the load balancing. Third, we develop a distributed multi-aspect streaming tensor …


Identifying Regional Trends In Avatar Customization, Peter Mawhorter, Sercan Sengun, Haewoon Kwak, D. Fox Harrell Dec 2019

Since virtual identities such as social media profiles and avatars have become a common venue for self-expression, it has become important to consider the ways in which existing systems embed the values of their designers. In order to design virtual identity systems that reflect the needs and preferences of diverse users, understanding how the virtual identity construction differs between groups is important. This paper presents a new methodology that leverages deep learning and differential clustering for comparative analysis of profile images, with a case study of almost 100 000 avatars from a large online community using a popular avatar creation …

The rise of Initial Coin Offerings (ICO) in recent times and their potential for investment opportunities have investors spending a lot of time researching ICOs or having to follow the crowd. This paper aims to explore four broad factors of ICOs: identity, credibility, investor sentiment, and price movement to develop a framework that is useful in determining ICO quality. Research is shown using data sources including public forums, chat groups, web sites, white papers as well as smart contract details. Finally, a system, based on the framework, is proposed that can be used to detect and regulate ICO activities and …


Smartphone Sensing Meets Transport Data: A Collaborative Framework For Transportation Service Analytics, Yu Lu, Archan Misra, Wen Sun, Huayu Wu Aug 2017

Smartphone Sensing Meets Transport Data: A Collaborative Framework For Transportation Service Analytics, Yu Lu, Archan Misra, Wen Sun, Huayu Wu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

We advocate for and introduce TRANSense, a framework for urban transportation service analytics that combines participatory smartphone sensing data with city-scale transportation-related transactional data (taxis, trains etc.). Our work is driven by the observed limitations of using each data type in isolation: (a) commonly-used anonymous city-scale datasets (such as taxi bookings and GPS trajectories) provide insights into the aggregate behavior of transport infrastructure, but fail to reveal individual-specific transport experiences (e.g., wait times in taxi queues); while (b) mobile sensing data can capture individual-specific commuting-related activities, but suffers from accuracy and energy overhead challenges due to usage artefacts and lack …


Feature Knowledge Based Fault Detection Of Induction Motors Through The Analysis Of Stator Current Data, Ting Yang, Haibo Pen, Zhaoxia Wang, Che Sau Chang Mar 2016

Feature Knowledge Based Fault Detection Of Induction Motors Through The Analysis Of Stator Current Data, Ting Yang, Haibo Pen, Zhaoxia Wang, Che Sau Chang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

The fault detection of electrical or mechanical anomalies in induction motors has been a challenging problem for researchers over decades to ensure the safety and economic operations of industrial processes. To address this issue, this paper studies the stator current data obtained from inverter-fed laboratory induction motors and investigates the unique signatures of the healthy and faulty motors with the aim of developing knowledge based fault detection method for performing online detection of motor fault problems, such as broken-rotor-bar and bearing faults. Stator current data collected from induction motors were analyzed by leveraging fast Fourier transform (FFT), and the FFT …

As part of its overall effort to maintain good customer service while managing operational efficiency and reducing cost, a bank in Singapore has embarked on using data and decision analytics methodologies to perform better ad-hoc ATM failure forecasting and plan the field service engineers to repair the machines. We propose using a combined Data and Decision Analytics Framework which helps the analyst to first understand the business problem by collecting, preparing and exploring data to gain business insights, before proposing what objectives and solutions can and should be done to solve the problem. This paper reports the work in analyzing …


Fisa: Feature-Based Instance Selection For Imbalanced Text Classification, Aixin Sun, Ee Peng Lim, Boualem Benatallah, Mahbub Hassan Apr 2006

Fisa: Feature-Based Instance Selection For Imbalanced Text Classification, Aixin Sun, Ee Peng Lim, Boualem Benatallah, Mahbub Hassan

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Support Vector Machines (SVM) classifiers are widely used in text classification tasks and these tasks often involve imbalanced training. In this paper, we specifically address the cases where negative training documents significantly outnumber the positive ones. A generic algorithm known as FISA (Feature-based Instance Selection Algorithm), is proposed to select only a subset of negative training documents for training a SVM classifier. With a smaller carefully selected training set, a SVM classifier can be more efficiently trained while delivering comparable or better classification accuracy. In our experiments on the 20-Newsgroups dataset, using only 35% negative training examples and 60% learning …


Sgpm: Static Group Pattern Mining Using Apriori-Like Sliding Window, John Goh, David Taniar, Ee Peng Lim Apr 2006

Sgpm: Static Group Pattern Mining Using Apriori-Like Sliding Window, John Goh, David Taniar, Ee Peng Lim

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Mobile user data mining is a field that focuses on extracting interesting pattern and knowledge out from data generated by mobile users. Group pattern is a type of mobile user data mining method. In group pattern mining, group patterns from a given user movement database is found based on spatio-temporal distances. In this paper, we propose an improvement of efficiency using area method for locating mobile users and using sliding window for static group pattern mining. This reduces the complexity of valid group pattern mining problem. We support the use of static method, which uses areas and sliding windows instead …
