Machine Learning-Based Device Type Classification For Iot Device Re- And Continuous Authentication, Kaustubh Gupta
Machine Learning-Based Device Type Classification For Iot Device Re- And Continuous Authentication, Kaustubh Gupta
Department of Computer Science and Engineering: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Today, the use of Internet of Things (IoT) devices is higher than ever and it is growing rapidly. Many IoT devices are usually manufactured by home appliance manufacturers where security and privacy are not the foremost concern. When an IoT device is connected to a network, currently there does not exist a strict authentication method that verifies the identity of the device, allowing any rogue IoT device to authenticate to an access point. This thesis addresses the issue by introducing methods for continuous and re-authentication of static and dynamic IoT devices, respectively. We introduce mechanisms and protocols for authenticating a …
Towards A Machine Learning Based Generalizable Framework For Detecting Covid-19 Misinformation On Social Media, Yuanzhi Chen
Towards A Machine Learning Based Generalizable Framework For Detecting Covid-19 Misinformation On Social Media, Yuanzhi Chen
Department of Computer Science and Engineering: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus, online social media has become a conduit for the rapid propagation of misinformation. The misinformation is a type of fake news that is created inadvertently without the intention of causing harm. Yet COVID-19 misinformation has caused serious social disruptions including accidental death and destruction of public property. Timely prevention of the propagation of online misinformation requires the development of automated detection tools. Machine learning (ML) based models have been used to automate techniques for identifying fake news. These techniques involve converting text data …
Domain Adaptation In Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Landing Using Reinforcement Learning, Pedro Lucas Franca Albuquerque
Domain Adaptation In Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Landing Using Reinforcement Learning, Pedro Lucas Franca Albuquerque
Department of Computer Science and Engineering: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Landing an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) on a moving platform is a challenging task that often requires exact models of the UAV dynamics, platform characteristics, and environmental conditions. In this thesis, we present and investigate three different machine learning approaches with varying levels of domain knowledge: dynamics randomization, universal policy with system identification, and reinforcement learning with no parameter variation. We first train the policies in simulation, then perform experiments both in simulation, making variations of the system dynamics with wind and friction coefficient, then perform experiments in a real robot system with wind variation. We initially expected that providing …
Dynamic Data Management In A Data Grid Environment, Björn Barrefors
Dynamic Data Management In A Data Grid Environment, Björn Barrefors
Department of Computer Science and Engineering: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
A data grid is a geographically distributed set of resources providing a facility for computationally intensive analysis of large datasets to a large number of geographically distributed users. In the scientific community, data grids have become increasingly popular as scientific research is driven by large datasets. Until recently, developments in data management for data grids have focused on management of data at lower layers in the data grid architecture. With dataset sizes expected to approach exabyte scale in coming years, data management in data grids are facing a new set of challenges. In particularly, the problem of automatically placing and …
Identification Of Tcp Protocols, Juan Shao
Identification Of Tcp Protocols, Juan Shao
Department of Computer Science and Engineering: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Recently, many new TCP algorithms, such as BIC, CUBIC, and CTCP, have been deployed in the Internet. Investigating the deployment statistics of these TCP algorithms is meaningful to study the performance and stability of the Internet. Currently, there is a tool named Congestion Avoidance Algorithm Identification (CAAI) for identifying the TCP algorithm of a web server and then for investigating the TCP deployment statistics. However, CAAI using a simple k-NN algorithm can not achieve a high identification accuracy. In this thesis, we comprehensively study the identification accuracy of five popular machine learning models. We find that the random forest model …
