Automatic Query Reformulation For Code Search Using Crowdsourced Knowledge, Mohammad M. Rahman, Chanchal K. Roy, David Lo Jan 2019

Automatic Query Reformulation For Code Search Using Crowdsourced Knowledge, Mohammad M. Rahman, Chanchal K. Roy, David Lo

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Traditional code search engines (e.g., Krugle) often do not perform well with natural language queries. They mostly apply keyword matching between query and source code. Hence, they need carefully designed queries containing references to relevant APIs for the code search. Unfortunately, preparing an effective search query is not only challenging but also time-consuming for the developers according to existing studies. In this article, we propose a novel query reformulation technique–RACK–that suggests a list of relevant API classes for a natural language query intended for code search. Our technique offers such suggestions by exploiting keyword-API associations from the questions and answers …


Software Engineering Dashboards: Types, Risks, And Future, Margaret-Anne Storey, Christoph Treude Jan 2019

Software Engineering Dashboards: Types, Risks, And Future, Margaret-Anne Storey, Christoph Treude

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

The large number of artifacts created or modified in a software project and the flood of information exchanged in the process of creating a software product call for tools that aggregate this data to communicate higher-level insights to all stakeholders involved. In many projects—in software engineering as well as in other domains—dashboards are used to communicate information that may bring insights on the productivity of project activities and other aspects. Stephen Few defines a dashboard as “a visual display of the most important information needed to achieve one or more objectives which fits entirely on a single computer screen so …

Cybersecurity is a field that has seen its workforce demands rising steadily throughout the past decade. Although the Wisconsin Department of Administration has been actively encouraging collaboration efforts between the public and private sectors and promoting cybersecurity as a promising career path, the demand for cybersecurity professionals continues to be greater than the supply, which is a trend noticed also nationwide. The state of Wisconsin is facing several challenges in attempting to promote cybersecurity including limited security curricula resources, lack of programs and other initiatives that promote security principles, and lack of awareness of cybersecurity risks. In this paper, we …


Distributed Multi-Label Learning On Apache Spark, Jorge Gonzalez Lopez Jan 2019

Distributed Multi-Label Learning On Apache Spark, Jorge Gonzalez Lopez

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis proposes a series of multi-label learning algorithms for classification and feature selection implemented on the Apache Spark distributed computing model. Five approaches for determining the optimal architecture to speed up multi-label learning methods are presented. These approaches range from local parallelization using threads to distributed computing using independent or shared memory spaces. It is shown that the optimal approach performs hundreds of times faster than the baseline method. Three distributed multi-label k nearest neighbors methods built on top of the Spark architecture are proposed: an exact iterative method that computes pair-wise distances, an approximate tree-based method that indexes …


Privacy-Preserving Attribute-Based Keyword Search In Shared Multi-Owner Setting, Yibin Miao, Ximeng Liu, Robert H. Deng, Robert H. Deng, Jjguo Li, Hongwei Li, Jianfeng Ma Jan 2019

Privacy-Preserving Attribute-Based Keyword Search In Shared Multi-Owner Setting, Yibin Miao, Ximeng Liu, Robert H. Deng, Robert H. Deng, Jjguo Li, Hongwei Li, Jianfeng Ma

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

Ciphertext-Policy Attribute-Based Keyword Search (CP-ABKS) facilitates search queries and supports fine-grained access control over encrypted data in the cloud. However, prior CP-ABKS schemes were designed to support unshared multi-owner setting, and cannot be directly applied in the shared multi-owner setting (where each record is accredited by a fixed number of data owners), without incurring high computational and storage costs. In addition, due to privacy concerns on access policies, most existing schemes are vulnerable to off-line keyword-guessing attacks if the keyword space is of polynomial size. Furthermore, it is difficult to identify malicious users who leak the secret keys when more …


Global Inference For Aspect And Opinion Terms Co-Extraction Based On Multi-Task Neural Networks, Jianfei Yu, Jing Jiang, Rui Xia Jan 2019

Global Inference For Aspect And Opinion Terms Co-Extraction Based On Multi-Task Neural Networks, Jianfei Yu, Jing Jiang, Rui Xia

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Extracting aspect terms and opinion terms are two fundamental tasks in opinion mining. The recent success of deep learning has inspired various neural network architectures, which have been shown to achieve highly competitive performance in these two tasks. However, most existing methods fail to explicitly consider the syntactic relations among aspect terms and opinion terms, which may lead to the inconsistencies between the model predictions and the syntactic constraints. To this end, we first apply a multi-task learning framework to implicitly capture the relations between the two tasks, and then propose a global inference method by explicitly modelling several syntactic …


Assessment Of Techno-Economic Benefits For Smart Charging Scheme Of Electric Vehicles In Residential Distribution System, Kumari Kasturi, Manas Ranjan Nayak Jan 2019

Assessment Of Techno-Economic Benefits For Smart Charging Scheme Of Electric Vehicles In Residential Distribution System, Kumari Kasturi, Manas Ranjan Nayak

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Connecting multiple electric vehicles (EVs) to a power system network for the purpose of charging has major setbacks like decrease in power quality, instability in voltage profile, and increase in power losses and thus electricity price. This paper focuses on devising an optimal charging scheme to reduce the negative impacts of EVs' presence in the distribution network by limiting the charging process to only off-peak demand periods when the electricity price is comparatively lower. The salp swarm algorithm, an efficient, fast, and reliable optimization technique, is used to obtain the optimal locations for the EVs and their charging schedule in …


Antenna Selection And Transmission Power For Energy Efficiency In Downlink Massive Mimo Systems, Adeeb Salh, Lukman Audah, Nor Shahida Mohd Shah, Shipun Anuar Hamzah, Hasan Saeed Mir Jan 2019

Antenna Selection And Transmission Power For Energy Efficiency In Downlink Massive Mimo Systems, Adeeb Salh, Lukman Audah, Nor Shahida Mohd Shah, Shipun Anuar Hamzah, Hasan Saeed Mir

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Massive multiinput-multioutput (M-MIMO) systems are crucial for maximizing energy efficiency (EE) in fifth-generation (5G) wireless networks. A M-MIMO system's achievable high data rate is highly related to the number of antennas, but increasing the number of antennas the system raises energy consumption. In this paper, we derive ergodic EE based on the optimal transmit power and joint optimization antenna selection (AS) with impact pilot reuse sequences (PRSs). We apply Newton's method and the Lagrange multiplier to derive jointly optimized AS and optimal transmission power under the effect of PRSs. The proposed algorithm prevents repeated searching for joint optimal AS and …


Lung Segmentation In Chest Radiographs Using Fully Convolutional Networks, Rahul Hooda, Ajay Mittal, Sanjeev Sofat Jan 2019

Lung Segmentation In Chest Radiographs Using Fully Convolutional Networks, Rahul Hooda, Ajay Mittal, Sanjeev Sofat

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Automated segmentation of medical images that aims at extracting anatomical boundaries is a fundamental step in any computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system. Chest radiographic CAD systems, which are used to detect pulmonary diseases, first segment the lung field to precisely define the region-of-interest from which radiographic patterns are sought. In this paper, a deep learning-based method for segmenting lung fields from chest radiographs has been proposed. Several modifications in the fully convolutional network, which is used for segmenting natural images to date, have been attempted and evaluated to finally evolve a network fine-tuned for segmenting lung fields. The testing accuracy and …

On Spectral Analysis Of The Internet Delay Space And Detecting Anomalous Routing Paths, Gonca Gürsun Jan 2019

On Spectral Analysis Of The Internet Delay Space And Detecting Anomalous Routing Paths, Gonca Gürsun

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Latency is one of the most critical performance metrics for a wide range of applications. Therefore, it is important to understand the underlying mechanisms that give rise to the observed latency values and diagnose the ones that are unexpectedly high. In this paper, we study the Internet delay space via robust principal component analysis (RPCA). Using RPCA, we show that the delay space, i.e. the matrix of measured round trip times between end hosts, can be decomposed into two components: the estimated latency between end hosts with respect to the current state of the Internet and the inflation on the …


Measurement Of Network-Based And Random Meetings In Social Networks, Pranav Nerurkar, Madhav Chandane, Sunil Bhirud Jan 2019

Measurement Of Network-Based And Random Meetings In Social Networks, Pranav Nerurkar, Madhav Chandane, Sunil Bhirud

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Social networks are created by the underlying behavior of the actors involved in them. Each actor has interactions with other actors in the network and these interactions decide whether a social relationship should develop between them. Such interactions may occur due to meeting processes such as chance-based meetings or network-based (choice) meetings. Depending upon which of these two types of interactions plays a greater role in creation of links, a social network shall evolve accordingly. This evolution shall result in the social network obtaining a suitable structure and certain unique features. The aim of this work is to determine the …

A Novel Design Of An Electromagnetically Levitated Vibrational Viscometer For Biomedical And Clinical Applications, Ali̇ Akpek

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Accurate determination of the viscosity behavior of fluids is extremely important, especially for biomedical and clinical applications. For example, blood viscosity is used to detect cardiovascular diseases in patients. Like blood, all body fluids and biochemical solvents used in biomedical studies are very limited resources. Therefore, a viscometer that is especially focused for biomedical and clinical applications should have the ability to obtain viscosity results from a reservoir as small as possible, in a range as wide as possible and in a period of time as short as possible. The measurements must be accurate even when the fluid temperatures shift …


Classification Of Generic System Dynamics Model Outputs Via Supervised Time Series Pattern Discovery, Mert Edali, Mustafa Gökçe Baydoğan, Gönenç Yücel Jan 2019

Classification Of Generic System Dynamics Model Outputs Via Supervised Time Series Pattern Discovery, Mert Edali, Mustafa Gökçe Baydoğan, Gönenç Yücel

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

System dynamics (SD) is a simulation-based approach for analyzing feedback-rich systems. An ideal SD modeling cycle requires evaluating the qualitative pattern characteristics of a large set of time series model output for testing, validation, scenario analysis, and policy analysis purposes. This traditionally requires expert judgement, which limits the extent of experimentation due to time constraints. Although time series recognition approaches can help to automate such an evaluation, utilization of them has been limited to a hidden Markov model classifier, namely the Indirect Structure Testing Software (ISTS) algorithm. Despite being used within several automated model-analysis tools, ISTS has several shortcomings. In …

Graph Analysis Of Network Flow Connectivity Behaviors, Hangyu Hu, Xuemeng Zhai, Mingda Wang, Guangmin Hu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Graph-based approaches have been widely employed to facilitate in analyzing network flow connectivity behaviors, which aim to understand the impacts and patterns of network events. However, existing approaches suffer from lack of connectivity-behavior information and loss of network event identification. In this paper, we propose network flow connectivity graphs (NFCGs) to capture network flow behavior for modeling social behaviors from network entities. Given a set of flows, edges of a NFCG are generated by connecting pairwise hosts who communicate with each other. To preserve more information about network flows, we also embed node-ranking values and edge-weight vectors into the original …

Design And Fabrication Of A Dual-Polarized, Dual-Band Reflectarray Using Optimal Phase Distribution, Iman Aryanian, Arash Ahmadi, Mehdi Rabbani, Sina Hassibi, Majid Karimipour

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Two main factors limiting the reflectarray bandwidth are different phase slopes versus the frequency at every point on the aperture and the phase limitation of comprising elements at different frequencies. Considering these two factors, a novel design method is proposed to implement a dual-band, dual-polarized reflectarray antenna in X and Ku bands. An optimization algorithm is adopted to find the optimum phase for each unit cell on the reflectarray aperture. The best geometrical parameters of the phasing elements are suggested based on the phase variation of the element versus frequency and the element position with respect to the antenna feed. …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The basis of encryption techniques is random number generators (RNGs). The application areas of cryptology are increasing in number due to continuously developing technology, so the need for RNGs is increasing rapidly, too. RNGs can be divided into two categories as pseudorandom number generator (PRNGs) and true random number generator (TRNGs). TRNGs are systems that use unpredictable and uncontrollable entropy sources and generate random numbers. During the design of TRNGs, while analog signals belonging to the used entropy sources are being converted to digital data, generally comparators, flip-flops, Schmitt triggers, and ADCs are used. In this study, a computer-controlled new …

The Biobjective Multiarmed Bandit: Learning Approximate Lexicographic Optimal Allocations, Cem Teki̇n Jan 2019

The Biobjective Multiarmed Bandit: Learning Approximate Lexicographic Optimal Allocations, Cem Teki̇n

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

We consider a biobjective sequential decision-making problem where an allocation (arm) is called $\epsilon$ lexicographic optimal if its expected reward in the first objective is at most $\epsilon$ smaller than the highest expected reward, and its expected reward in the second objective is at least the expected reward of a lexicographic optimal arm. The goal of the learner is to select arms that are $\epsilon$ lexicographic optimal as much as possible without knowing the arm reward distributions beforehand. For this problem, we first show that the learner's goal is equivalent to minimizing the $\epsilon$ lexicographic regret, and then, propose a …
