A Strategic Value Appropriation Path For Cloud Computing, Abhishek Kathuria, Arti Mann, Jiban Khuntia, Robert J. Kauffman Sep 2018

A Strategic Value Appropriation Path For Cloud Computing, Abhishek Kathuria, Arti Mann, Jiban Khuntia, Robert J. Kauffman

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Cloud-based information management is one of the leading competitive differentiation strategies for firms. With the increasing criticality of information management in value creation and process support, establishing an integrated capability with cloud computing is vital for organizational success in the changing landscape of business competition. These issues have received scant attention, however. We draw on the resource-based view, dynamic capability hierarchy concepts, and the perspective of operand and operant resources to suggest a cloud value appropriation model for firms. We argue that, to appropriate business value from cloud computing, the firm needs to effectively deploy cloud computing and leverage cloud …

Implicit Linking Of Food Entities In Social Media, Wen Haw Chong, Ee Peng Lim Sep 2018

Implicit Linking Of Food Entities In Social Media, Wen Haw Chong, Ee Peng Lim

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Dining is an important part in people’s lives and this explains why food-related microblogs and reviews are popular in social media. Identifying food entities in food-related posts is important to food lover profiling and food (or restaurant) recommendations. In this work, we conduct Implicit Entity Linking (IEL) to link food-related posts to food entities in a knowledge base. In IEL, we link posts even if they do not contain explicit entity mentions. We first show empirically that food venues are entity-focused and associated with a limited number of food entities each. Hence same-venue posts are likely to share common food …

Efficient And Privacy-Preserving Online Face Recognition Over Encrypted Outsourced Data, Xiaopeng Yang, Hui Zhu, Rongxing Lu, Ximeng Liu, Hui Li

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

With the development of image processing technology and the pervasiveness of mobile devices, face recognition, which can be used to offer convenient and efficient individual authentication service, has attracted considerable interest in recent years. However, people's concern about their face data being leaked during the face recognition process impedes the flourish of face recognition. To address this problem, we present a novel privacy-preserving online face recognition scheme over encrypted outsourced data, named EPFR. With EPFR, a user can achieve secure, accurate and efficient authentication service without disclosing her/his face data. Specifically, an improved homomorphic encryption technology is introduced to provide …

A Hybrid Model For Identity Obfuscation By Face Replacement, Qianru Sun, Ayush Tewari, Weipeng Xu, Mario Fritz, Christian Theobalt, Bernt Schiele Sep 2018

A Hybrid Model For Identity Obfuscation By Face Replacement, Qianru Sun, Ayush Tewari, Weipeng Xu, Mario Fritz, Christian Theobalt, Bernt Schiele

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

As more and more personal photos are shared and tagged in social media, avoiding privacy risks such as unintended recognition, becomes increasingly challenging. We propose a new hybrid approach to obfuscate identities in photos by head replacement. Our approach combines state of the art parametric face synthesis with latest advances in Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) for data-driven image synthesis. On the one hand, the parametric part of our method gives us control over the facial parameters and allows for explicit manipulation of the identity. On the other hand, the data-driven aspects allow for adding fine details and overall realism as …

Secondary Frequency Stochastic Optimal Control In Independent Microgrids With Virtual Synchronous Generator-Controlled Energy Storage Systems, Ting Yang, Yajian Zhang, Zhaoxia Wang, Haibo Pen Sep 2018

Secondary Frequency Stochastic Optimal Control In Independent Microgrids With Virtual Synchronous Generator-Controlled Energy Storage Systems, Ting Yang, Yajian Zhang, Zhaoxia Wang, Haibo Pen

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

With the increasing proportion of renewable energy in microgrids (MGs), its stochastic fluctuation of output power has posed challenges to system safety and operation, especially frequency stability. Virtual synchronous generator (VSG) technology, as one effectivemethod, was used to smoothen frequency fluctuation and improve the system's dynamic performance,which can simulate the inertia and damping of the traditional synchronous generator. This study outlines the integration of VSG-controlled energy storage systems (ESSs) and traditional synchronous generators so they jointly participate in secondary frequency regulation in an independent MG. Firstly, a new uncertain state-space model for secondary frequency control is established, considering the measurement …

Cognitive Antecedents Of Family Business Bias In Investment Decisions: A Commentary On 'Risky Decisions And The Family Firm Bias: An Experimental Study Based On Prospect Theory, H. Fang, Keng Siau, E. Memili, J. Dou Sep 2018

Cognitive Antecedents Of Family Business Bias In Investment Decisions: A Commentary On 'Risky Decisions And The Family Firm Bias: An Experimental Study Based On Prospect Theory, H. Fang, Keng Siau, E. Memili, J. Dou

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Lude and Prügl explored “family business bias,” a cognitive tendency where the family nature of a firm can often reduce investors’ perceived risk in investments. As a result, investors would display lower risk-avoidance in the gain domain and reinforced risk-seeking in the loss domain. We expanded the authors’ work by introducing four cognitive factors (anchoring, representativeness, stereotype heuristic, and information availability) that can explain the underlying mechanisms behind the prevalence of “family business bias” and other cognitive misperceptions surrounding family businesses when it comes to investment decisions.

Challenges In Learning Uml: From The Perspective Of Diagrammatic Representation And Reasoning, Z. Shen, S. Tan, Keng Siau Sep 2018

Challenges In Learning Uml: From The Perspective Of Diagrammatic Representation And Reasoning, Z. Shen, S. Tan, Keng Siau

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Unified modeling language (UML) is widely taught in the information systems (IS) curriculum. To understand UML in IS education, this paper reports on an empirical study that taps into students’ learning of UML. The study uses a concept-mapping technique to identify the challenges in learning UML notational elements. It reveals that some technical properties of UML diagrammatic representation, coupled with students’ cognitive attributes, hinder both perceptual and conceptual processes involved in searching, recognizing, and inferring visual information, which creates learning barriers. This paper also discusses how to facilitate perceptual and conceptual processes in instruction to overcome learning challenges. The study …

A Two-Stage Mechanism For Ordinal Peer Assessment, Zhize Li, Le Zhang, Zhixuan Fang, Jian Li Sep 2018

A Two-Stage Mechanism For Ordinal Peer Assessment, Zhize Li, Le Zhang, Zhixuan Fang, Jian Li

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Peer assessment is a major method for evaluating the performance of employee, accessing the contributions of individuals within a group, making social decisions and many other scenarios. The idea is to ask the individuals of the same group to assess the performance of the others. Scores or rankings are then determined based on these evaluations. However, peer assessment can be biased and manipulated, especially when there is a conflict of interests. In this paper, we consider the problem of eliciting the underlying ordering (i.e. ground truth) of n strategic agents with respect to their performances, e.g., quality of work, contributions, …

A Vector Field Design Approach To Animated Transitions, Yong Wang, Daniel Archambault, Carlos E. Scheidegger, Huamin Qu Sep 2018

A Vector Field Design Approach To Animated Transitions, Yong Wang, Daniel Archambault, Carlos E. Scheidegger, Huamin Qu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Animated transitions can be effective in explaining and exploring a small number of visualizations where there are drastic changes in the scene over a short interval of time. This is especially true if data elements cannot be visually distinguished by other means. Current research in animated transitions has mainly focused on linear transitions (all elements follow straight line paths) or enhancing coordinated motion through bundling of linear trajectories. In this paper, we introduce animated transition design, a technique to build smooth, non-linear transitions for clustered data with either minimal or no user involvement. The technique is flexible and simple to …

Densely Connected Bidirectional Lstm With Applications To Sentence Classification, Zixiang Ding, Rui Xia, Jianfei Yu, Xiang Li, Jian Yang Aug 2018

Densely Connected Bidirectional Lstm With Applications To Sentence Classification, Zixiang Ding, Rui Xia, Jianfei Yu, Xiang Li, Jian Yang

Student Publications

Deep neural networks have recently been shown to achieve highly competitive performance in many computer vision tasks due to their abilities of exploring in a much larger hypothesis space. However, since most deep architectures like stacked RNNs tend to suffer from the vanishing-gradient and overfitting problems, their effects are still understudied in many NLP tasks. Inspired by this, we propose a novel multi-layer RNN model called densely connected bidirectional long short-term memory (DCBi-LSTM) in this paper, which essentially represents each layer by the concatenation of its hidden state and all preceding layers’ hidden states, followed by recursively passing each layer’s …

Secure Enforcement Of Isolation Policy On Multicore Platforms With Virtualization Techniques, Siqi Zhao Aug 2018

Secure Enforcement Of Isolation Policy On Multicore Platforms With Virtualization Techniques, Siqi Zhao

Dissertations and Theses Collection (Open Access)

A number of virtualization based systems have been proposed in the literature as an effective measure against the adversaries with the kernel privilege. However, under a systematic analysis, such systems exhibit vulnerabilities that can still be exploited by such an attacker with the kernel privilege. The fundamental reason is that there is an inherent incompatibility between the tamper-proof requirement and the complete mediation requirement of the reference monitor model. The incompatibility manifests in the virtualization based systems in the form of a discrepancy between the enforcement capability demanded by the high-level policy and the one achievable through the system design …

Demand-Aware Charger Planning For Electric Vehicle Sharing, Bowen Du, Yongxin Tong, Zimu Zhou, Qian Tao, Wenjun Zhou

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Cars of the future have been predicted as shared and electric. There has been a rapid growth in electric vehicle (EV) sharing services worldwide in recent years. For EV-sharing platforms to excel, it is essential for them to offer private charging infrastructure for exclusive use that meets the charging demand of their clients. Particularly, they need to plan not only the places to build charging stations, but also the amounts of chargers per station, to maximally satisfy the requirements on global charging coverage and local charging demand. Existing research efforts are either inapplicable for their different problem formulations or are …

A Formal Specification And Verification Framework For Timed Security Protocols, Li Li, Jun Sun, Yang Liu, Meng Sun, Jin Song Dong Aug 2018

A Formal Specification And Verification Framework For Timed Security Protocols, Li Li, Jun Sun, Yang Liu, Meng Sun, Jin Song Dong

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Nowadays, protocols often use time to provide better security. For instance, critical credentials are often associated with expiry dates in system designs. However, using time correctly in protocol design is challenging, due to the lack of time related formal specification and verification techniques. Thus, we propose a comprehensive analysis framework to formally specify as well as automatically verify timed security protocols. A parameterized method is introduced in our framework to handle timing parameters whose values cannot be decided in the protocol design stage. In this work, we first propose timed applied p-calculus as a formal language for specifying timed security …

Neural Collective Entity Linking, Yixin Cao, Lei Hou, Juanzi Li, Zhiyuan Liu Aug 2018

Neural Collective Entity Linking, Yixin Cao, Lei Hou, Juanzi Li, Zhiyuan Liu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Entity Linking aims to link entity mentions in texts to knowledge bases, and neural models have achieved recent success in this task. However, most existing methods rely on local contexts to resolve entities independently, which may usually fail due to the data sparsity of local information. To address this issue, we propose a novel neural model for collective entity linking, named as NCEL. NCEL applies Graph Convolutional Network to integrate both local contextual features and global coherence information for entity linking. To improve the computation efficiency, we approximately perform graph convolution on a subgraph of adjacent entity mentions instead of …

Transaction Cost Optimization For Online Portfolio Selection, Bin Li, Jialei Wang, Dingjiang Huang, Steven C. H. Hoi Aug 2018

Transaction Cost Optimization For Online Portfolio Selection, Bin Li, Jialei Wang, Dingjiang Huang, Steven C. H. Hoi

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

To improve existing online portfolio selection strategies in the case of non-zero transaction costs, we propose a novel framework named Transaction Cost Optimization (TCO). The TCO framework incorporates the L1 norm of the difference between two consecutive allocations together with the principles of maximizing expected log return. We further solve the formulation via convex optimization, and obtain two closed-form portfolio update formulas, which follow the same principle as Proportional Portfolio Rebalancing (PPR) in industry. We empirically evaluate the proposed framework using four commonly used data-sets. Although these data-sets do not consider delisted firms and are thus subject to survival bias, …

Fusing Multi-Abstraction Vector Space Models For Concern Localization, Yun Zhang, David Lo, Xin Xia, Giuseppe Scanniello, Tien-Duy B. Le, Jianling Sun Aug 2018

Fusing Multi-Abstraction Vector Space Models For Concern Localization, Yun Zhang, David Lo, Xin Xia, Giuseppe Scanniello, Tien-Duy B. Le, Jianling Sun

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Concern localization refers to the process of locating code units that match a particular textual description. It takes as input textual documents such as bug reports and feature requests and outputs a list of candidate code units that are relevant to the bug reports or feature requests. Many information retrieval (IR) based concern localization techniques have been proposed in the literature. These techniques typically represent code units and textual descriptions as a bag of tokens at one level of abstraction, e.g., each token is a word, or each token is a topic. In this work, we propose a multi-abstraction concern …

Customer Level Predictive Modeling For Accounts Receivable To Reduce Intervention Actions, Michelle L. F. Cheong, Wen Shi Aug 2018

Customer Level Predictive Modeling For Accounts Receivable To Reduce Intervention Actions, Michelle L. F. Cheong, Wen Shi

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

One of the main costs associated with Accounts receivable (AR) collection is related to the intervention actions taken to remind customers to pay their outstanding invoices. Apart from the cost, intervention actions may lead to poor customer satisfaction, which is undesirable in a competitive industry. In this paper, we studied the payment behavior of invoices for customers of a logistics company, and used predictive modeling to predict if a customer will pay the outstanding invoices with high probability, in an attempt to reduce intervention actions taken, thus reducing cost and improving customer relationship. We defined a pureness measure to classify …

Exact Processing Of Uncertain Top-K Queries In Multi-Criteria Settings, Kyriakos Mouratidis, Bo Tang Aug 2018

Exact Processing Of Uncertain Top-K Queries In Multi-Criteria Settings, Kyriakos Mouratidis, Bo Tang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Traditional rank-aware processing assumes a dataset that contains available options to cover a specific need (e.g., restaurants, hotels, etc) and users who browse that dataset via top-k queries with linear scoring functions, i.e., by ranking the options according to the weighted sum of their attributes, for a set of given weights. In practice, however, user preferences (weights) may only be estimated with bounded accuracy, or may be inherently uncertain due to the inability of a human user to specify exact weight values with absolute accuracy. Motivated by this, we introduce the uncertain top-k query (UTK). Given uncertain preferences, that is, …

Trajectory-Driven Influential Billboard Placement, Ping Zhang, Zhifeng Bao, Yuchen Li, Guoliang Li, Yipeng Zhang, Zhiyong Peng Aug 2018

Trajectory-Driven Influential Billboard Placement, Ping Zhang, Zhifeng Bao, Yuchen Li, Guoliang Li, Yipeng Zhang, Zhiyong Peng

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

In this paper we propose and study the problem of trajectory-driven influential billboard placement: given a set of billboards U (each with a location and a cost), a database of trajectories T and a budget L, find a set of billboards within the budget to influence the largest number of trajectories. One core challenge is to identify and reduce the overlap of the influence from different billboards to the same trajectories, while keeping the budget constraint into consideration. We show that this problem is NP-hard and present an enumeration based algorithm with (1−1/e) approximation ratio. However, the enumeration should be …

Server-Aided Attribute-Based Signature With Revocation For Resource-Constrained Industrial-Internet-Of-Things Devices, Hui Cui, Robert H. Deng, Joseph K. Liu, Xun Yi, Yingjiu Li

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

The industrial Internet-of-things (IIoT) can be seen as the usage of Internet-of-things technologies in industries, which provides a way to improve the operational efficiency. An attribute-based signature (ABS) has been a very useful technique for services requiring anonymous authentication in practice, where a signer can sign a message over a set of attributes without disclosing any information about his/her identity, and a signature only attests to the fact that it is created by a signer with several attributes satisfying some claim predicate. However, an ABS scheme requires exponentiation and/or pairing operations in the signature generation and verification algorithms, and hence, …

Anonymous Privacy-Preserving Task Matching In Crowdsourcing, Jiangang Shu, Ximeng Liu, Xiaohua Jia, Kan Yang, Robert H. Deng Aug 2018

Anonymous Privacy-Preserving Task Matching In Crowdsourcing, Jiangang Shu, Ximeng Liu, Xiaohua Jia, Kan Yang, Robert H. Deng

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

With the development of sharing economy, crowdsourcing as a distributed computing paradigm has become increasingly pervasive. As one of indispensable services for most crowdsourcing applications, task matching has also been extensively explored. However, privacy issues are usually ignored during the task matching and few existing privacy-preserving crowdsourcing mechanisms can simultaneously protect both task privacy and worker privacy. This paper systematically analyzes the privacy leaks and potential threats in the task matching and proposes a single-keyword task matching scheme for the multirequester/multiworker crowdsourcing with efficient worker revocation. The proposed scheme not only protects data confidentiality and identity anonymity against the crowd-server, …
