What Do You Mean? Research In The Age Of Machines, Arthur J. Boston Nov 2019

What Do You Mean? Research In The Age Of Machines, Arthur J. Boston

Faculty & Staff Research and Creative Activity

What Do You Mean?” was an undeniable bop of its era in which Justin Bieber explores the ambiguities of romantic communication. (I pinky promise this will soon make sense for scholarly communication librarians interested in artificial intelligence [AI].) When the single hit airwaves in 2015, there was a meta-debate over what Bieber meant to add to public discourse with lyrics like “What do you mean? Oh, oh, when you nod your head yes, but you wanna say no.” It is unlikely Bieber had consent culture in mind, but the failure of his songwriting team to take into account that some …

Improving Structure Evaluation Through Automatic Hierarchy Expansion, Brian Mcfee, Katherine M. Kinnaird Nov 2019

Improving Structure Evaluation Through Automatic Hierarchy Expansion, Brian Mcfee, Katherine M. Kinnaird

Computer Science: Faculty Publications

Structural segmentation is the task of partitioning a recording into non-overlapping time intervals, and labeling each segment with an identifying marker such as A, B, or verse. Hierarchical structure annotation expands this idea to allow an annotator to segment a song with multiple levels of granularity. While there has been recent progress in developing evaluation criteria for comparing two hierarchical annotations of the same recording, the existing methods have known deficiencies when dealing with inexact label matchings and sequential label repetition. In this article, we investigate methods for automatically enhancing structural annotations by inferring (and expanding) hierarchical information from the …

Low-Resource Name Tagging Learned With Weakly Labeled Data, Yixin Cao, Zikun Hu, Tat-Seng Chua, Zhiyuan Liu, Heng Ji Nov 2019

Low-Resource Name Tagging Learned With Weakly Labeled Data, Yixin Cao, Zikun Hu, Tat-Seng Chua, Zhiyuan Liu, Heng Ji

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Name tagging in low-resource languages or domains suffers from inadequate training data. Existing work heavily relies on additional information, while leaving those noisy annotations unexplored that extensively exist on the web. In this paper, we propose a novel neural model for name tagging solely based on weakly labeled (WL) data, so that it can be applied in any low-resource settings. To take the best advantage of all WL sentences, we split them into high-quality and noisy portions for two modules, respectively: (1) a classification module focusing on the large portion of noisy data can efficiently and robustly pretrain the tag …

Agile Earth Observation Satellite Scheduling: An Orienteering Problem With Time-Dependent Profits And Travel Times, Guansheng Peng, Reginald Dewil, Cédric Verbeeck, Aldy Gunawan, Lining Xing, Pieter Vansteenwegen Nov 2019

Agile Earth Observation Satellite Scheduling: An Orienteering Problem With Time-Dependent Profits And Travel Times, Guansheng Peng, Reginald Dewil, Cédric Verbeeck, Aldy Gunawan, Lining Xing, Pieter Vansteenwegen

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

The scheduling problem of an Agile Earth Observation Satellite is to schedule a subset of weighted observation tasks with each a specific “profit” in order to maximize the total collected profit, under its operational constraints. The “time-dependent transition time” and the “time-dependent profit” are two crucial features of this problem. The former relates to the fact that each pair of consecutive tasks requires a transition time to maneuver the look angle of the camera from the previous task to the next task. The latter follows from the fact that a different look angle of an observation leads to a different …

Ad-Link: An Adaptive Approach For User Identity Linkage, Xin Mu, Wei Xie, Ka Wei, Roy Lee, Feida Zhu, Ee Peng Lim Nov 2019

Ad-Link: An Adaptive Approach For User Identity Linkage, Xin Mu, Wei Xie, Ka Wei, Roy Lee, Feida Zhu, Ee Peng Lim

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

User identity linkage (UIL) refers to linking accounts of the same user across different online social platforms. The state-of-the-art UIL methods usually perform account matching using user account’s features derived from the profile attributes, content and relationships. They are however static and do not adapt well to fast-changing online social data due to: (a) new content and activities generated by users; as well as (b) new platform functions introduced to users. In particular, the importance of features used in UIL methods may change over time and new important user features may be introduced. In this paper, we proposed AD-Link, a …

Choosing Protection: User Investments In Security Measures For Cyber Risk Management, Yoav Ben Yaakov, Xinrun Wang, Joachim Meyer, Bo An

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Firewalls, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), and cyber-insurance are widely used to protect against cyber-attacks and their consequences. The optimal investment in each of these security measures depends on the likelihood of threats and the severity of the damage they cause, on the user’s ability to distinguish between malicious and non-malicious content, and on the properties of the different security measures and their costs. We present a model of the optimal investment in the security measures, given that the effectiveness of each measure depends partly on the performance of the others. We also conducted an online experiment in which participants classified …

Realtime Object Detection Via Deep Learning-Based Pipelines, James G. Shanahan, Liang Dai

Information Systems and Analytics Department Faculty Conference Proceedings

Ever wonder how the Tesla Autopilot system works (or why it fails)? In this tutorial we will look under the hood of self-driving cars and of other applications of computer vision and review state-of-the-art tech pipelines for object detection such as two-stage approaches (e.g., Faster R-CNN) or single-stage approaches (e.g., YOLO/SSD). This is accomplished via a series of Jupyter Notebooks that use Python, OpenCV, Keras, and Tensorflow. No prior knowledge of computer vision is assumed (although it will be help!). To this end we begin this tutorial with a review of computer vision and traditional approaches to object detection such …

Shellnet: Efficient Point Cloud Convolutional Neural Networks Using Concentric Shells Statistics, Zhiyuan Zhang, Binh-Son Hua, Sai-Kit Yeung

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Deep learning with 3D data has progressed significantly since the introduction of convolutional neural networks that can handle point order ambiguity in point cloud data. While being able to achieve good accuracies in various scene understanding tasks, previous methods often have low training speed and complex network architecture. In this paper, we address these problems by proposing an efficient end-to-end permutation invariant convolution for point cloud deep learning. Our simple yet effective convolution operator named ShellConv uses statistics from concentric spherical shells to define representative features and resolve the point order ambiguity, allowing traditional convolution to perform on such features. …

Automatic Generation Of Pull Request Descriptions, Zhongxin Liu, Xin Xia, Christoph Treude, David Lo, Shanping Li

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Enabled by the pull-based development model, developers can easily contribute to a project through pull requests (PRs). When creating a PR, developers can add a free-form description to describe what changes are made in this PR and/or why. Such a description is helpful for reviewers and other developers to gain a quick understanding of the PR without touching the details and may reduce the possibility of the PR being ignored or rejected. However, developers sometimes neglect to write descriptions for PRs. For example, in our collected dataset with over 333K PRs, more than 34% of the PR descriptions are empty. …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Collaborative Mixed Reality (MR) systems are at a critical point in time as they are soon to become more commonplace. However, MR technology has only recently matured to the point where researchers can focus deeply on the nuances of supporting collaboration, rather than needing to focus on creating the enabling technology. In parallel, but largely independently, the field of Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) has focused on the fundamental concerns that underlie human communication and collaboration over the past 30-plus years. Since MR research is now on the brink of moving into the real world, we reflect on three decades …

—Game testing has been long recognized as a notoriously challenging task, which mainly relies on manual playing and scripting based testing in game industry. Even until recently, automated game testing still remains to be largely untouched niche. A key challenge is that game testing often requires to play the game as a sequential decision process. A bug may only be triggered until completing certain difficult intermediate tasks, which requires a certain level of intelligence. The recent success of deep reinforcement learning (DRL) sheds light on advancing automated game testing, without human competitive intelligent support. However, the existing DRLs mostly focus …

Currently, Android malware detection is mostly performed on the server side against the increasing number of Android malware. Powerful computing resource gives more exhaustive protection for Android markets than maintaining detection by a single user in many cases. However, apart from the Android apps provided by the official market (i.e., Google Play Store), apps from unofficial markets and third-party resources are always causing a serious security threat to end-users. Meanwhile, it is a time-consuming task if the app is downloaded first and then uploaded to the server side for detection because the network transmission has a lot of overhead. In …

Semi-Supervised Entity Alignment Via Joint Knowledge Embedding Model And Cross-Graph Model, Chengjiang Li, Yixin Cao, Lei Hou, Jiaxin Shi, Juanzi Li, Tat-Seng Chua

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Entity alignment aims at integrating complementary knowledge graphs (KGs) from different sources or languages, which may benefit many knowledge-driven applications. It is challenging due to the heterogeneity of KGs and limited seed alignments. In this paper, we propose a semi-supervised entity alignment method by joint Knowledge Embedding model and Cross-Graph model (KECG). It can make better use of seed alignments to propagate over the entire graphs with KG-based constraints. Specifically, as for the knowledge embedding model, we utilize TransE to implicitly complete two KGs towards consistency and learn relational constraints between entities. As for the cross-graph model, we extend Graph …

Visualizing The Invisible: Occluded Vehicle Segmentation And Recovery, Xiaosheng Yan, Feigege Wang, Wenxi Liu, Yuanlong Yu, Shengfeng He, Jia Pan

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

In this paper, we propose a novel iterative multi-task framework to complete the segmentation mask of an occluded vehicle and recover the appearance of its invisible parts. In particular, firstly, to improve the quality of the segmentation completion, we present two coupled discriminators that introduce an auxiliary 3D model pool for sampling authentic silhouettes as adversarial samples. In addition, we propose a two-path structure with a shared network to enhance the appearance recovery capability. By iteratively performing the segmentation completion and the appearance recovery, the results will be progressively refined. To evaluate our method, we present a dataset, Occluded Vehicle …

When Players Affect Target Values: Modeling And Solving Dynamic Partially Observable Security Games, Xinrun Wang, Milind Tambe, Branislav Bosanky, Bo An

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Most of the current security models assume that the values of targets/areas are static or the changes (if any) are scheduled and known to the defender. Unfortunately, such models are not sufficient for many domains, where actions of the players modify the values of the targets. Examples include wildlife scenarios, where the attacker can increase value of targets by secretly building supporting facilities. To address such security game domains with player-affected values, we first propose DPOS3G, a novel partially observable stochastic Stackelberg game where target values are determined by the players’ actions; the defender can only partially observe these targets’ …
