This paper demonstrates the effectiveness of a diversification mechanism for building a more robust multi-attention system in generic facial action analysis. While previous multi-attention (e.g., visual attention and self-attention) research on facial expression recognition (FER) and Action Unit (AU) detection have been thoroughly studied to focus on "external attention diversification", where attention branches localize different facial areas, we delve into the realm of "internal attention diversification" and explore the impact of diverse attention patterns within the same Region of Interest (RoI). Our experiments reveal that variability in attention patterns significantly impacts model performance, indicating that unconstrained multi-attention plagued by redundancy …

Sigmoid Activation-Based Long Short-Term Memory For Time Series Data Classification, Sajal Das
Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works
With the enhanced usage of Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven applications, the researchers often face challenges in improving the accuracy of the data classification models, while trading off the complexity. In this paper, we address the classification of time series data using the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network while focusing on the activation functions. While the existing activation functions such as sigmoid and tanh are used as LSTM internal activations, the customizability of these activations stays limited. This motivates us to propose a new family of activation functions, called log-sigmoid, inside the LSTM cell for time series data classification, and analyze …

A Low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation consists of a large number of small satellites traveling in space with high mobility and collecting vast amounts of mobility data such as cloud movement for weather forecast, large herds of animals migrating across geo-regions, spreading of forest fires, and aircraft tracking. Machine learning can be utilized to analyze these mobility data to address global challenges, and Federated Learning (FL) is a promising approach because it eliminates the need for transmitting raw data and hence is both bandwidth and privacy friendly. However, FL requires many communication rounds between clients (satellites) and the parameter …

Virtual machine (VM) migration enables cloud service providers (CSPs) to balance workload, perform zero-downtime maintenance, and reduce applications' power consumption and response time. Migrating a VM consumes energy at the source, destination, and backbone networks, i.e., intermediate routers and switches, especially in a Geo-distributed setting. In this context, we propose a VM migration model called Low Energy Application Workload Migration (LEAWM) aimed at reducing the per-bit migration cost in migrating VMs over Geo-distributed clouds. With a Geo-distributed cloud connected through multiple Internet Service Providers (ISPs), we develop an approach to find out the migration path across ISPs leading to the …

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a high-risk dementia condition which progresses to probable Alzheimer's disease (AD) at approximately 10% to 15% per year. Characterization of group-level differences between two subtypes of MCI - stable MCI (sMCI) and progressive MCI (pMCI) is the key step to understand the mechanisms of MCI progression and enable possible delay of transition from MCI to AD. Functional connectivity (FC) is considered as a promising way to study MCI progression since which may show alterations even in preclinical stages and provide substrates for AD progression. However, the representative FC patterns during AD development for different clinical …

As a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, the pathological changes of Alzheimer's disease (AD) might begin as much as two decades before the manifestation of clinical symptoms. Since the nature of the irreversible pathology of AD, early diagnosis provides a more tractable way for disease intervention and treatment. Therefore, numerous approaches have been developed for early diagnostic purposes. Although several important biomarkers have been established, most of the existing methods show limitations in describing the continuum of AD progression. However, understanding this continuous development is essential to understand the intrinsic progression mechanism of AD. In this work, we proposed a supervised deep …

In this paper, we present a drone-based delivery system that assumes to deal with a mixed-area, i.e., two areas, one rural and one urban, placed side-by-side. In the mixed-areas, called EM-grids, the distances are measured with two different metrics, and the shortest path between two destinations concatenates the Euclidean and Manhattan metrics. Due to payload constraints, the drone serves a single customer at a time returning back to the dispatching point (DP) after each delivery to load a new parcel for the next customer. In this paper, we present the 1 -Median Euclidean–Manhattan grid Problem (MEMP) for EM-grids, whose goal …

In this paper, we study the deployment of $K$ heterogeneous UAVs to monitor Points of Interest (PoIs) in a disaster zone, where a PoI may represent a school building or an office building, in which people are trapped. A UAV can take images/videos of PoIs and send its collected information back to a nearby rescue station for decision-making. Unlike most existing studies that focused on only homogeneous UAVs, we here study the scheduling of $K$ heterogeneous UAVs, where different UAVs have different energy capacities and functionalities that lead to different monitoring qualities (monitoring rewards) of each PoI. For example, one …

Selfish routing begets inefficiency in multi-agent transportation systems, leading to significant economic losses in our society. Although several powerful techniques (e. g., marginal cost pricing) have been proposed to mitigate price-of-anarchy (a measure of inefficiency), social welfare maximization still remains a huge challenge in selfish routing, especially when travelers deviate from maximizing their own expected utilities. This paper proposes a novel informational intervention to improve the efficiency of selfish routing, especially in the presence of quantal response travelers. Specifically, modeling the interaction between the system and travelers as a Stackelberg game, and develop a novel approximate algorithm, called LoRI (which …

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 …

The advent of the edge computing network paradigm places the computational and storage resources away from the data centers and closer to the edge of the network largely comprising the heterogeneous IoT devices collecting huge volumes of data. This paradigm has led to considerable improvement in network latency and bandwidth usage over the traditional cloud-centric paradigm. However, the next generation networks continue to be stymied by their inability to achieve adaptive, energy-efficient, timely data transfer in a dynamic and failure-prone environment - the very optimization challenges that are dealt with by biological networks as a consequence of millions of years …

5G technology is foreseen to have a heterogeneous architecture with the various computational capability, and radio-enabled service providers (SPs) and service requesters (SRs), working altogether in a cellular model. However, the coexistence of heterogeneous network model spawns several research challenges such as diverse SRs with uneven service deadlines, interference management, and revenue maximization of non-uniform computational capacities enabled SPs. Thus, we propose a coexistence of heterogeneous SPs and SRs enabled cellular 5G network and formulate the SPs' revenue maximization via resource allocation, considering different kinds of interference, data rate, and latency altogether as an optimization problem and further propose a …

Replicating data across geo-distributed datacenters is usually necessary for large scale cloud services to achieve high locality, durability and availability. One of the major challenges in such geo-replicated data services lies in consistency maintenance, which usually suffers from long latency due to costly coordination across datacenters. Among others, transaction chopping is an effective and efficient approach to address this challenge. However, existing chopping is conducted statically during programming, which is stubborn and complex for developers. In this article, we propose Dynamic Transaction Chopping (DTC), a novel technique that does transaction chopping and determines piecewise execution in a dynamic and automatic …

Predicting Guiding Entities For Entity Aspect Linking, Shubham Chatterjee, Laura Dietz
Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works
Entity linking can disambiguate mentions of an entity in text. However, there are many different aspects of an entity that could be discussed but are not differentiable by entity links, for example, the entity "oyster" in the context of "food" or "ecosystems". Entity aspect linking provides such fine-grained explicit semantics for entity links by identifying the most relevant aspect of an entity in the given context. We propose a novel entity aspect linking approach that outperforms several neural and non-neural baselines on a large-scale entity aspect linking test collection. Our approach uses a supervised neural entity ranking system to predict …

The mobile edge computing (MEC) paradigm changes the role of edge devices from data producers and requesters to data consumers and processors. MEC mitigates the bandwidth limitation between the edge server and the remote cloud by directly processing the large amount of data locally generated by the network of the internet of things (IoT) at the edge. An efficient data-gathering scheme is crucial for providing quality of service (QoS) within MEC. To reduce redundant data transmission, this paper proposes a data collection scheme that only gathers the necessary data from IoT devices (like wireless sensors) along a trajectory. Instead of …

An important research issue in smart metering is to correctly transfer the smart meter readings from consumers to the operator within the given time period by consuming minimum energy. In this paper, we propose an energy efficient smart metering system using Edge computing in Long Range (LoRa). We assume that all appliances in a house are connected to a smart meter that is affixed with Edge device and LoRa node for processing and transferring the processed smart meter readings, respectively. The energy consumption of the appliances can be represented as an energy multivariate time series. The system first proposes a …

Emotions (e.g., Joy, Anger) are prevalent in daily software engineering (SE) activities, and are known to be significant indicators of work productivity (e.g., bug fixing efficiency). Recent studies have shown that directly applying general purpose emotion classification tools to SE corpora is not effective. Even within the SE domain, tool performance degrades significantly when trained on one communication channel and evaluated on another (e.g., Stack Overflow vs. GitHub comments). Retraining a tool with channel-specific data takes significant effort since manually annotating a large dataset of ground truth data is expensive. In this paper, we address this data scarcity problem by …

The recent breakthrough in wireless power transfer (WPT) technology has empowered wireless rechargeable sensor networks (WRSNs) by facilitating stable and continuous energy supply to sensors through mobile chargers (MCs). A plethora of studies have been carried out over the last decade in this regard. However, no comprehensive survey exists to compile the state-of-the-art literature and provide insight into future research directions. To fill this gap, we put forward a detailed survey on mobile charging techniques (MCTs) in WRSNs. In particular, we first describe the network model, various WPT techniques with empirical models, system design issues and performance metrics concerning the …

Wireless Multimedia Sensor Network (WMSN) is increasingly being deployed for surveillance, monitoring and Internet-of-Things (IoT) sensing applications where a set of cameras capture and compress local images and then transmit the data to a remote controller. Such captured local images may also be compressed in a multi-view fashion to reduce the redundancy among overlapping views. In this paper, we present a novel paradigm for compressed-sensing-enabled multi-view coding and streaming in WMSN. We first propose a new encoding and decoding architecture for multi-view video systems based on Compressed Sensing (CS) principles, composed of cooperative sparsity-aware block-level rate-adaptive encoders, feedback channels and …

Silent data corruption poses a significant risk to the integrity of data in storage systems. Although error correction codes (ECC) can recover the majority of such errors, a nonnegligible portion of them escape ECC, referred as uncorrectable errors (UEs). Despite being rare in nature, increasing scale of storage systems and fast-growing I/O rates decreased the mean time between UEs from months to hours. Yet, unlike disk failures, UEs are hard to predict with high precision, making it difficult to adopt proactive measures. In this paper, we introduce a probabilistic approach to deploy UE mitigation strategies that can capture significant portion …

The US National Airspace System is currently operating at a level close to its maximum potential. The limitation comes from the workload demand on the air traffic controllers. Currently, the air traffic flow management is based on the flight path requests by the airline operators, whereas the minimum separation assurance between flights is handled strategically by air traffic control personnel. In this paper, we propose a scalable framework that allows path planning for a large number of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) taking into account the deadline and weather constraints. Our proposed solution has a polynomial-time computational complexity that is also …
