Hydraulic fracturing treatments in unconventional infill (or "child") wells can be significantly affected by depletion from existing parent-well, resulting in asymmetrical fracture growth. These issues may lead to excessive load-water production, proppant deposition, casing deformation in the parent well, and unbalanced stimulation of infill wells. To mitigate these effects, various strategies have been proposed, including the use of far-field diverters in child wells and repressurization of parent wells. Additionally, an increasingly popular strategy involves injecting near-wellbore diverters to temporarily plug entry points into the parent wellbores during frac operations on infill wells. To achieve better application, a novel low-cost, self-degradable, …

Multicolor Bipartite Ramsey Number Of Double Stars, Gregory M. Decamillis Jan 2024

Multicolor Bipartite Ramsey Number Of Double Stars, Gregory M. Decamillis

Honors Undergraduate Theses

The core idea of Ramsey theory is that complete disorder is impossible. Given a large structure, no matter how complex it is, we can always find a smaller substructure that has some sort of order. For positive integers $n, m$, the double star $S(n,m)$ is the graph consisting of the disjoint union of two stars $K_{1,n}$ and $K_{1,m}$ together with an edge joining their centers. The $k$-color bipartite Ramsey number of $ S(n,m)$, denoted by $r_{bip}(S(n,m);k)$, is the smallest integer $N$ such that, in any $k$-coloring of the edges of the complete bipartite graph $K_{N,N}$, there is a monochromatic copy …

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

Geo-Distributed Machine Learning (GDML) aims to train large-scale machine learning models across geographically dispersed datacenters. However, the performance of GDML systems is constrained by the limited Wide Area Network (WAN) bandwidth and the presence of the straggler problem. Existing GDML designs often show contradictory effects in addressing these challenges, while in-network computing attempts are typically restricted to single datacenter environments rather than the more complex GDML scenarios. To overcome these limitations, this paper proposes L3DML to facilitate GDML using the P4-based Software-defined Network (SDN). Our approach incorporates three key innovations. Firstly, we introduce a novel network addressing scheme that enables …

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

Smartphones and wearable devices have been integrated into our daily lives, offering personalized services. However, many apps become overprivileged as their collected sensing data contains unnecessary sensitive information. For example, mobile sensing data could reveal private attributes (e.g., gender and age) and unintended sensitive features (e.g., hand gestures when entering passwords). To prevent sensitive information leakage, existing methods must obtain private labels and users need to specify privacy policies. However, they only achieve limited control over information disclosure. In this work, we present Hippo to dissociate hierarchical information including private metadata and multi-grained activity information from the sensing data. Hippo …


Interlude: Interactions Between Labeled And Unlabeled Data To Enhance Semi-Supervised Learning, Zhe Huang, Xiaowei Yu, Dajiang Zhu, Michael C. Hughes Jan 2024

Interlude: Interactions Between Labeled And Unlabeled Data To Enhance Semi-Supervised Learning, Zhe Huang, Xiaowei Yu, Dajiang Zhu, Michael C. Hughes

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

Semi-supervised learning (SSL) seeks to enhance task performance by training on both labeled and unlabeled data. Mainstream SSL image classification methods mostly optimize a loss that additively combines a supervised classification objective with a regularization term derived solely from unlabeled data. This formulation often neglects the potential for interaction between labeled and unlabeled images. In this paper, we introduce InterLUDE, a new approach to enhance SSL made of two parts that each benefit from labeled-unlabeled interaction. The first part, embedding fusion, interpolates between labeled and unlabeled embeddings to improve representation learning. The second part is a new loss, grounded in …


Core-Periphery Multi-Modality Feature Alignment For Zero-Shot Medical Image Analysis, Xiaowei Yu, Lu Zhang, Zihao Wu, Dajiang Zhu Jan 2024

Core-Periphery Multi-Modality Feature Alignment For Zero-Shot Medical Image Analysis, Xiaowei Yu, Lu Zhang, Zihao Wu, Dajiang Zhu

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

Multi-modality learning, exemplified by the language-image pair pre-trained CLIP model, has demonstrated remarkable performance in enhancing zero-shot capabilities and has gained significant attention recently. However, simply applying language-image pre-trained CLIP to medical image analysis encounters substantial domain shifts, resulting in severe performance degradation due to inherent disparities between natural (non-medical) and medical image characteristics. To address this challenge and uphold or even enhance CLIP's zero-shot capability in medical image analysis, we develop a novel approach, Core-Periphery feature alignment for CLIP (CP-CLIP), to model medical images and corresponding clinical text jointly. To achieve this, we design an auxiliary neural network whose …

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

Recently, a novel cortical folding pattern known as the 3-hinge gyrus (3HG) has been identified. 3HGs are defined as the convergence of the gyri coming from three distinct directions on gyral crests. In contrast to cortical regions, 3HGs are defined at a finer scale and they widely exist across different individuals, representing both commonalities and individualities of cortical folding patterns. It is important to note that 3HGs are identified in individual spaces, lacking natural cross-subject correspondences. To address this issue, we have developed a learning-based method to encode anatomical features of 3HGs into a set of embedding vectors that can …

Location spoofing attack deceiving a Wi-Fi positioning system has been studied for over a decade. However, it has been challenging to construct a practical spoofing attack in urban areas with dense coverage of legitimate Wi-Fi APs. This paper identifies the vulnerability of the Google Geolocation API, which returns the location of a mobile device based on the information of the Wi-Fi access points that the device can detect. We show that this vulnerability can be exploited by the attacker to reveal the black-box localization algorithms adopted by the Google Wi-Fi positioning system and easily launch the location spoofing attack in …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Secure outsourced computation is critical for cloud computing to safeguard data confidentiality and ensure data usability. Recently, secure outsourced computation schemes following a twin-server architecture based on partially homomorphic cryptosystems have received increasing attention. The Secure Outsourced Computation on Integers (SOCI) [1] toolkit is the state-of-the-art among these schemes which can perform secure computation on integers without requiring the costly bootstrapping operation as in fully homomorphic encryption; however, SOCI suffers from relatively large computation and communication overhead. In this paper, we propose SOCI+ which significantly improves the performance of SOCI. Specifically, SOCI+ employs a novel (2,2)-threshold Paillier cryptosystem with fast …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Question generation (QG) aims to automatically generate fluent and relevant questions, where the two most mainstream directions are generating questions from unstructured contextual texts (CQG), such as news articles, and generating questions from structured factoid texts (FQG), such as knowledge graphs or tables. Existing methods for these two tasks mainly face challenges of limited internal structural information as well as scarce background information, while these two tasks can benefit each other for alleviating these issues. For example, when meeting the entity mention “United Kingdom” in CQG, it can be inferred that it is a country in European continent based on …

We demonstrate criticality-aware canvas-based processing of multiple concurrent camera streams at the resource constrained edge to show substantial improvement in the accuracy-throughput trade-off. The proposed system focuses the available computation resources on select Regions of Interest (RoI) across all the camera streams by (i) extracting RoI from the input camera stream (ii) 2D bin packing the RoI on a canvas frame and (iii) batching and inferring upon these constructed composite canvas frames with a YOLOv5 object detection model. Our experiments show that such canvas-based processing can (i) sustain real-time processing throughput of 23 FPS per camera across 6 concurrent input …

Clearspeech: Improving Voice Quality Of Earbuds Using Both In-Ear And Out-Ear Microphones, Dong Ma, Ting Dang, Ming Ding, Rajesh Krishna Balan

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Wireless earbuds have been gaining increasing popularity and using them to make phone calls or issue voice commands requires the earbud microphones to pick up human speech. When the speaker is in a noisy environment, speech quality degrades significantly and requires speech enhancement (SE). In this paper, we present ClearSpeech, a novel deep-learningbased SE system designed for wireless earbuds. Specifically, by jointly using the earbud’s in-ear and out-ear microphones, we devised a suite of techniques to effectively fuse the two signals and enhance the magnitude and phase of the speech spectrogram. We built an earbud prototype to evaluate ClearSpeech under …
