Blogging Developer Knowledge: Motivations, Challenges, And Future Directions, Chris Parnin, Christoph Treude, Margaret-Anne Storey
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Why do software developers place so much effort into writing public blog posts about their knowledge, experiences, and opinions on software development? What are the benefits, problems, and tools needed-what can the research community do to help? In this paper, we describe a research agenda aimed at understanding the motivations and issues of software development blogging. We interviewed developers as well as mined and analyzed their blog posts. For this initial study, we selected developers from various backgrounds: IDE plugin development, mobile development, and web development. We found that developers used blogging for a variety of functions such as documentation, …

An Architecture For Online Semantic Labeling On Ugvs, Arne Suppe, Luis Navarro-Serment, Daniel Munoz, Drew Bagnell, Martial Hebert
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
We describe an architecture to provide online semantic labeling capabilities to field robots operating in urban environments. At the core of our system is the stacked hierarchical classifier developed by Munoz et al.,1 which classifies regions in monocular color images using models derived from hand labeled training data. The classifier is trained to identify buildings, several kinds of hard surfaces, grass, trees, and sky. When taking this algorithm into the real world, practical concerns with difficult and varying lighting conditions require careful control of the imaging process. First, camera exposure is controlled by software, examining all of the image’s pixels, …

Unified Entity Search In Social Media Community, Ting Yao, Yuan Liu, Chong-Wah Ngo, Tao Mei
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The search for entities is the most common search behavior on the Web, especially in social media communities where entities (such as images, videos, people, locations, and tags) are highly heterogeneous and correlated. While previous research usually deals with these social media entities separately, we are investigating in this paper a unified, multilevel, and correlative entity graph to represent the unstructured social media data, through which various applications (e.g., friend suggestion, personalized image search, image tagging, etc.) can be realized more effectively in one single framework. We regard the social media objects equally as “entities” and all of these applications …
Why Individuals Seek Diverse Opinions (Or Why They Don't), Jisun An, Daniele Quercia, Jon Crowcroft
Why Individuals Seek Diverse Opinions (Or Why They Don't), Jisun An, Daniele Quercia, Jon Crowcroft
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Fact checking has been hard enough to do in traditional settings, but, as news consumption is moving on the Internet and sources multiply, it is almost unmanageable. To solve this problem, researchers have created applications that expose people to diverse opinions and, as a result, expose them to balanced information. The wisdom of this solution is, however, placed in doubt by this paper. Survey responses of 60 individuals in the UK and South Korea and in-depth structured interviews of 10 respondents suggest that exposure to diverse opinions would not always work. That is partly because not all individuals equally value …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Many online communities struggle with conflicts — e.g. between newcomers and elders — at some point. In July 2012, the Stack Exchange organization attempted to assess the overall “niceness” of the Stack Overflow community by rating the “friendliness” of 7,000 comments made on the site over a 4 year period. We performed a deeper examination of the comment dataset published by Stack Exchange. We find a high degree of comment repetition in the Stack Overflow database and suggest some simple heuristics that may help in automatically identifying unfriendly comments, providing managers of developer communities with simple means that could counter …
Vehicle Localization Along A Previously Driven Route Using An Image Database, Hideyuki Kume, Arne Suppe, Arne Suppe
Vehicle Localization Along A Previously Driven Route Using An Image Database, Hideyuki Kume, Arne Suppe, Arne Suppe
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In most autonomous driving applications, such as parking and commuting, a vehicle follows a previously taken route, or almost the same route. In this paper, we propose a method to localize a vehicle along a previously driven route using images. The proposed method consists of two stages: offline creation of a database, and online localization. In the offline stage, a database is created from images that are captured when the vehicle drives a route for the first time. The database consists of images, 3D positions of feature points estimated by structure-from-motion, and a topological graph. In the online stage, the …
Accelerating Optimistic Hla-Based Simulations In Virtual Execution Environments, Zengxiang Li, Xiaorong Li, Nguyen Binh Duong Ta, Wentong Cai, Stephen John Turner
Accelerating Optimistic Hla-Based Simulations In Virtual Execution Environments, Zengxiang Li, Xiaorong Li, Nguyen Binh Duong Ta, Wentong Cai, Stephen John Turner
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
High Level Architecture (HLA)-based simulations employing optimistic synchronization allows federates to process event and to advance simulation time freely at the risk of over-optimistic execution and execution rollbacks. In this paper, an adaptive resource provisioning system is proposed to accelerate optimistic HLA-based simulations in Virtual Execution Environment (VEE). A performance monitor is introduced using a middleware approach to measure the performance of individual federates transparently to the simulation application. Based on the performance measurements, a resource manager distributes the available computational resources to the federates, making them advance simulation time with comparable speeds. Our proposed approach is evaluated using a …
Mining Sql Injection And Cross Site Scripting Vulnerabilities Using Hybrid Program Analysis, Lwin Khin Shar, Hee Beng Kuan Tan, Lionel C. Briand
Mining Sql Injection And Cross Site Scripting Vulnerabilities Using Hybrid Program Analysis, Lwin Khin Shar, Hee Beng Kuan Tan, Lionel C. Briand
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In previous work, we proposed a set of static attributes that characterize input validation and input sanitization code patterns. We showed that some of the proposed static attributes are significant predictors of SQL injection and cross site scripting vulnerabilities. Static attributes have the advantage of reflecting general properties of a program. Yet, dynamic attributes collected from execution traces may reflect more specific code characteristics that are complementary to static attributes. Hence, to improve our initial work, in this paper, we propose the use of dynamic attributes to complement static attributes in vulnerability prediction. Furthermore, since existing work relies on supervised …
Leakage Resilient Authenticated Key Exchange Secure In The Auxiliary Input Model, Guomin Yang, Yi Mu, Willy Susilo, Duncan S. Wong
Leakage Resilient Authenticated Key Exchange Secure In The Auxiliary Input Model, Guomin Yang, Yi Mu, Willy Susilo, Duncan S. Wong
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Authenticated key exchange (AKE) protocols allow two parties communicating over an insecure network to establish a common secret key. They are among the most widely used cryptographic protocols in practice. In order to resist key-leakage attacks, several leakage resilient AKE protocols have been proposed recently in the bounded leakage model. In this paper, we initiate the study on leakage resilient AKE in the auxiliary input model. A promising way to construct such a protocol is to use a digital signature scheme that is entropically-unforgeable under chosen message and auxiliary input attacks. However, to date we are not aware of any …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
With the advent of social media services, media outlets have started reaching audiences on social-networking sites. On Twitter, users actively follow a wide set of media sources, form interpersonal networks, and propagate interesting stories to their peers. These media subscription and interaction patterns, which had previously been hidden behind media corporations' databases, offer new opportunities to understand media supply and demand on a large scale. Through a map that connects 77 media outlets based on Twitter subscription patterns, we are able to answer a variety of questions: to what extent New York Times and the Wall Street Journal readers overlap? …
Fragmented Social Media: A Look Into Selective Exposure To Political News, Jisun An, Daniele Quercia, Jon Crowcroft
Fragmented Social Media: A Look Into Selective Exposure To Political News, Jisun An, Daniele Quercia, Jon Crowcroft
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The hypothesis of selective exposure assumes that people crave like-minded information and eschew information that conflicts with their beliefs, and that has negative consequences on political life. Yet, despite decades of research, this hypothesis remains theoretically promising but empirically difficult to test. We look into news articles shared on Facebook and examine whether selective exposure exists or not in social media. We find a concrete evidence for a tendency that users predominantly share like-minded news articles and avoid conflicting ones, and partisans are more likely to do that. Building tools to counter partisanship on social media would require the ability …

Implementation Of Slowly Changing Dimension To Data Warehouse To Manage Marketing Campaigns In Banks, Lihui Wang, Junyu Choy, Michelle L. F. Cheong
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Management of updating and recording campaign leads in data warehouse of any banking environment is complex especially with multiple campaigns are active simultaneously. As a way to avoid overly contacting customers for sales-based marketing contacts, the concept of Recency Frame is introduced to “lock” the customers who are targeted in Sales-based campaign for a specified time period. During this Recency Frame, the customer cannot be targeted by other Sales-based campaign under the same channel. This approach increased the difficulties of managing the customers’ data with proper data updating and storing and procedures have to be placed and made sufficiently robust …

Expressive Search On Encrypted Data, Junzuo Lai, Xuhua Zhou, Robert H. Deng, Yingjiu Li, Kefei Chen
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Different from the traditional public key encryption, searchable public key encryption allows a data owner to encrypt his data under a user’s public key in such a way that the user can generate search token keys using her secret key and then query an encryption storage server. On receiving such a search token key, the server filters all or related stored encryptions and returns matched ones as response. Searchable pubic key encryption has many promising applications. Unfortunately, existing schemes either only support simple query predicates, such as equality queries and conjunctive queries, or have a superpolynomial blowup in ciphertext size …

Dynamic Synthesis Of Local Time Requirement For Service Composition, Tian Huat Tan, Étienne André, Jun Sun, Yang Liu, Jin Song Dong, Manman Chen
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Service composition makes use of existing servicebased applications as components to achieve a business goal. In time critical business environments, the response time of a service is crucial, which is also reflected as a clause in service level agreements (SLAs) between service providers and service users. To allow the composite service to fulfill the response time requirement as promised, it is important to find a feasible set of component services, such that their response time could collectively allow the satisfaction of the response time of the composite service. In this work, we propose a fully automated approach to synthesize the …

This paper proposes an adaptive Markov chain pattern detection (AMCPD) method for disclosing the climate change patterns of Singapore through meteorological data mining. Meteorological variables, including daily mean temperature, mean dew point temperature, mean visibility, mean wind speed, maximum sustained wind speed, maximum temperature and minimum temperature are simultaneously considered for identifying climate change patterns in this study. The results depict various weather patterns from 1962 to 2011 in Singapore, based on the records of the Changi Meteorological Station. Different scenarios with varied cluster thresholds are employed for testing the sensitivity of the proposed method. The robustness of the proposed …

Personal Informatics In Chronic Illness Management, Haley Macleod, Anthony Tang, Sheelagh Carpendale
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Many people with chronic illness suffer from debilitating symptoms or episodes that inhibit normal day-to-day function. Pervasive tools offer the possibility to help manage these conditions, particularly by helping people understand their conditions. But, it is unclear how to design these tools, as prior designs have focused on effortful tracking and many see those tools as a burden to use. We report here on an interview study with 12 individuals with chronic illnesses who collect personal data. We learn that these people are motivated through self-discovery and curiosity. We explore how these concepts may support the design of tools that …

Enhancing Robot Perception Using Human Teammates, Jean Oh, Arne Suppe, Anthony Stentz, Martial Hebert
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In robotics research, perception is one of the most challenging tasks. In contrast to existing approaches that rely only on computer vision, we propose an alternative method for improving perception by learning from human teammates. To evaluate, we apply this idea to a door detection problem. A set of preliminary experiments has been completed using software agents with real vision data. Our results demonstrate that information inferred from teammate observations significantly improves the perception precision.
Behind The Magical Numbers: Hierarchical Chunking And The Human Working Memory Capacity, Guoqi Li, Ning Ning, Kiruthika Ramanathan, Wei He, Li Pan, Luping Shi
Behind The Magical Numbers: Hierarchical Chunking And The Human Working Memory Capacity, Guoqi Li, Ning Ning, Kiruthika Ramanathan, Wei He, Li Pan, Luping Shi
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
To explore the influence of chunking on the capacity limits of working memory, a model for chunking in sequential working memory is proposed, using hierarchical bidirectional inhibition-connected neural networks with winnerless competition. With the assumption of the existence of an upper bound to the inhibitory weights in neurobiological networks, it is shown that chunking increases the number of memorized items in working memory from the "magical number 7" to 16 items. The optimal number of chunks and the number of the memorized items in each chunk are the "magical number 4".

Enabling Generative, Emergent Artificial Culture, Jaroslaw Kochanowicz, Ah-Hwee Tan, Daniel Thalmann
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Despite the demand for culturally placed agent models, an adequate simulation approach to the relationship between group-cultural and individual-psychological qualities, including culture emergence, is just appearing. It could be argued that we are at the beginning of a domain forming process, a dawn of generative, emergent artificial culture. In this context we discuss current limitations and argue e.g. that too far reaching agent simplicity within Agent Based Modeling limits the emergence of realistic cultural-conventional level and we advocate psychologically rich models of culture forming mechanisms. We propose an approach to cultural phenomena modeling based on the interaction of habitual, affective …

Your Love Is Public Now: Questioning The Use Of Personal Information In Authentication, Payas Gupta, Swapna Gottipati, Jing Jiang, Debin Gao
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Most social networking platforms protect user's private information by limiting access to it to a small group of members, typically friends of the user, while allowing (virtually) everyone's access to the user's public data. In this paper, we exploit public data available on Facebook to infer users' undisclosed interests on their profile pages. In particular, we infer their undisclosed interests from the public data fetched using Graph APIs provided by Facebook. We demonstrate that simply liking a Facebook page does not corroborate that the user is interested in the page. Instead, we perform sentiment-oriented mining on various attributes of a …

Cost-Sensitive Double Updating Online Learning And Its Application To Online Anomaly Detection, Peilin Zhao, Steven C. H. Hoi
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Although both cost-sensitive classification and online learning have been well studied separately in data mining and machine learning, there was very few comprehensive study of cost-sensitive online classification in literature. In this paper, we formally investigate this problem by directly optimizing cost-sensitive measures for an online classification task. As the first comprehensive study, we propose the Cost-Sensitive Double Updating Online Learning (CSDUOL) algorithms, which explores a recent double updating technique to tackle the online optimization task of cost-sensitive classification by maximizing the weighted sum or minimizing the weighted misclassification cost. We theoretically analyze the cost-sensitive measure bounds of the proposed …

Fans: Face Annotation By Searching Large-Scale Web Facial Images, Steven Hoi, Dayong Wang, I Yeu Cheng, Elmer Lin, Jianke Zhu, Ying He, Chunyan Miao
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Auto face annotation is an important technique for many real-world applications, such as online photo album management, new video summarization, and so on. It aims to automatically detect human faces from a photo image and further name the faces with the corresponding human names. Recently, mining web facial images on the internet has emerged as a promising paradigm towards auto face annotation. In this paper, we present a demonstration system of search-based face annotation: FANS - Face ANnotation by Searching large-scale web facial images. Given a query facial image for annotation, we first retrieve a short list of the most …

Tower Of Babel: A Crowdsourcing Game Building Sentiment Lexicons For Resource-Scarce Languages, Yoonsung Hong, Haewoon Kwak, Youngmin Baek, Sue. Moon
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
With the growing amount of textual data produced by online social media today, the demands for sentiment analysis are also rapidly increasing; and, this is true for worldwide. However, non-English languages often lack sentiment lexicons, a core resource in performing sentiment analysis. Our solution, Tower of Babel (ToB), is a language-independent sentiment-lexicon-generating crowdsourcing game. We conducted an experiment with 135 participants to explore the difference between our solution and a conventional manual annotation method. We evaluated ToB in terms of effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfactions. Based on the result of the evaluation, we conclude that sentiment classification via ToB is accurate, …

Onespace: Shared Depth-Corrected Video Interaction, David Ledo, Bon Adriel Aseniero, Sebastian Boring, Anthony Tang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Video conferencing commonly employs a video portal metaphor to connect individuals from remote spaces. In this work, we explore an alternate metaphor, a shared depth mirror, where video images of two spaces are merged into a single shared, depth-corrected video. Just as seeing one’s mirror image causes reflective interaction, the shared video space changes the nature of interaction in the video space. We realize this metaphor in OneSpace, where the space respects virtual spatial relationships between people and objects, and in so doing, encourages cross-site, full-body interactions. We report preliminary observations of OneSpace in use, describing the role of depth …

It Is Not Just What We Say, But How We Say Them: Lda-Based Behavior-Topic Model, Minghui Qiu, Feida Zhu, Jing Jiang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Textual information exchanged among users on online social network platforms provides deep understanding into users' interest and behavioral patterns. However, unlike traditional text-dominant settings such as o ine publishing, one distinct feature for online social network is users' rich interactions with the textual content, which, unfortunately, has not yet been well incorporated in the existing topic modeling frameworks. In this paper, we propose an LDA-based behavior-topic model (B-LDA) which jointly models user topic interests and behavioral patterns. We focus the study of the model on online social network settings such as microblogs like Twitter where the textual content is relatively …
Retweeting: An Act Of Viral Users, Susceptible Users, Or Viral Topics?, Tuan-Anh Hoang, Ee Peng Lim
Retweeting: An Act Of Viral Users, Susceptible Users, Or Viral Topics?, Tuan-Anh Hoang, Ee Peng Lim
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
When a user retweets, there are three behavioral factors that cause the actions. They are the topic virality, user virality and user susceptibility. Topic virality captures the degree to which a topic attracts retweets by users. For each topic, user virality and susceptibility refer to the likelihood that a user attracts retweets and performs retweeting respectively. To model a set of observed retweet data as a result of these three topic specific factors, we first represent the retweets as a three-dimensional tensor of the tweet authors, their followers, and the tweets themselves. We then propose the V 2S model, a …

Nowadays, software engineers use a variety of online media to search and become informed of new and interesting technologies, and to learn from and help one another. We refer to these kinds of online media which help software engineers improve their performance in software development, maintenance and test processes as software information sites. It is common to see tags in software information sites and many sites allow users to tag various objects with their own words. Users increasingly use tags to describe the most important features of their posted contents or projects. In this paper, we propose TagCombine, an automatic …

Anonymous Authentication Of Visitors For Mobile Crowd Sensing At Amusement Parks, Divyan Konidala, Robert H. Deng, Yingjiu Li, Hoong Chuin Lau, Stephen Fienberg
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In this paper we focus on authentication and privacy aspects of an application scenario that utilizes mobile crowd sensing for the benefit of amusement park operators and their visitors. The scenario involves a mobile app that gathers visitors’ demographic details, preferences, and current location coordinates, and sends them to the park’s sever for various analyses. These analyses assist the park operators to efficiently deploy their resources, estimate waiting times and queue lengths, and understand the behavior of individual visitors and groups. The app server also offers visitors optimal recommendations on routes and attractions for an improved dynamic experience and minimized …
