Meta-Complementing The Semantics Of Short Texts In Neural Topic Models, Ce Zhang, Hady Wirawan Lauw
Meta-Complementing The Semantics Of Short Texts In Neural Topic Models, Ce Zhang, Hady Wirawan Lauw
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Topic models infer latent topic distributions based on observed word co-occurrences in a text corpus. While typically a corpus contains documents of variable lengths, most previous topic models treat documents of different lengths uniformly, assuming that each document is sufficiently informative. However, shorter documents may have only a few word co-occurrences, resulting in inferior topic quality. Some other previous works assume that all documents are short, and leverage external auxiliary data, e.g., pretrained word embeddings and document connectivity. Orthogonal to existing works, we remedy this problem within the corpus itself by proposing a Meta-Complement Topic Model, which improves topic quality …
Towards An Optimal Bus Frequency Scheduling: When The Waiting Time Matters, Songsong Mo, Zhifeng Bao, Baihua Zheng, Zhiyong Peng
Towards An Optimal Bus Frequency Scheduling: When The Waiting Time Matters, Songsong Mo, Zhifeng Bao, Baihua Zheng, Zhiyong Peng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Reorganizing bus frequencies to cater for actual travel demands can significantly save the cost of the public transport system. This paper studies the bus frequency optimization problem considering the user satisfaction. Specifically, for the first time to our best knowledge, we study how to schedule the buses such that the total number of passengers who could receive their bus services within the waiting time threshold can be maximized. We propose two variants of the problem, FAST and FASTCO, to cater for different application needs and prove that both are NP-hard. To solve FAST effectively and efficiently, we first present an …
Variational Graph Author Topic Modeling, Ce Zhang, Hady Wirawan Lauw
Variational Graph Author Topic Modeling, Ce Zhang, Hady Wirawan Lauw
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
While Variational Graph Auto-Encoder (VGAE) has presented promising ability to learn representations for documents, most existing VGAE methods do not model a latent topic structure and therefore lack semantic interpretability. Exploring hidden topics within documents and discovering key words associated with each topic allow us to develop a semantic interpretation of the corpus. Moreover, documents are usually associated with authors. For example, news reports have journalists specializing in writing certain type of events, academic papers have authors with expertise in certain research topics, etc. Modeling authorship information could benefit topic modeling, since documents by the same authors tend to reveal …
Scalable Data Analytics For Relational Databases, Graphs And Videos, Fubao Wu
Scalable Data Analytics For Relational Databases, Graphs And Videos, Fubao Wu
Doctoral Dissertations
Data analytics is to analyze raw data and mine insights, trends, and patterns from them. Due to the dramatic increase in data volume and size in recent years with the development of big data and cloud storage, big data analytics algorithms and techniques have been faced with more challenges. Moreover, there are various types of data formats, such as relational databases, text data, audio data, and image/video data. It is challenging to generate a unified framework or algorithm for data analytics on various data formats. Different data formats still need refined and scalable algorithms. In this dissertation, we explore three …
A Novel Data Lineage Model For Critical Infrastructure And A Solution To A Special Case Of The Temporal Graph Reachability Problem, Ian Moncur
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Rapid and accurate damage assessment is crucial to minimize downtime in critical infrastructure. Dependency on modern technology requires fast and consistent techniques to prevent damage from spreading while also minimizing the impact of damage on system users. One technique to assist in assessment is data lineage, which involves tracing a history of dependencies for data items. The goal of this thesis is to present one novel model and an algorithm that uses data lineage with the goal of being fast and accurate. In function this model operates as a directed graph, with the vertices being data items and edges representing …

Optimized Damage Assessment And Recovery Through Data Categorization In Critical Infrastructure System., Shruthi Ramakrishnan
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Critical infrastructures (CI) play a vital role in majority of the fields and sectors worldwide. It contributes a lot towards the economy of nations and towards the wellbeing of the society. They are highly coupled, interconnected and their interdependencies make them more complex systems. Thus, when a damage occurs in a CI system, its complex interdependencies make it get subjected to cascading effects which propagates faster from one infrastructure to another resulting in wide service degradations which in turn causes economic and societal effects. The propagation of cascading effects of disruptive events could be handled efficiently if the assessment and …
Implementing The Cms+ Sports Rankings Algorithm In A Javafx Environment, Luke Welch
Implementing The Cms+ Sports Rankings Algorithm In A Javafx Environment, Luke Welch
Industrial Engineering Undergraduate Honors Theses
Every year, sports teams and athletes get cut from championship opportunities because of their rank. While this reality is easier to swallow if a team or athlete is distant from the cut, it is much harder when they are right on the edge. Many times, it leaves fans and athletes wondering, “Why wasn’t I ranked higher? What factors when into the ranking? Are the rankings based on opinion alone?” These are fair questions that deserve an answer. Many times, sports rankings are derived from opinion polls. Other times, they are derived from a combination of opinion polls and measured performance. …
Learning Transferable Perturbations For Image Captioning, Hanjie Wu, Yongtuo Liu, Hongmin Cai, Shengfeng He
Learning Transferable Perturbations For Image Captioning, Hanjie Wu, Yongtuo Liu, Hongmin Cai, Shengfeng He
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Present studies have discovered that state-of-the-art deep learning models can be attacked by small but well-designed perturbations. Existing attack algorithms for the image captioning task is time-consuming, and their generated adversarial examples cannot transfer well to other models. To generate adversarial examples faster and stronger, we propose to learn the perturbations by a generative model that is governed by three novel loss functions. Image feature distortion loss is designed to maximize the encoded image feature distance between original images and the corresponding adversarial examples at the image domain, and local-global mismatching loss is introduced to separate the mapping encoding representation …

The Effect Of Using The Gamification Strategy On Academic Achievement And Motivation Towards Learning Problem-Solving Skills In Computer And Information Technology Course Among Tenth Grade Female Students, Mazyunah Almutairi, Prof. Ahmad Almassaad
International Journal for Research in Education
Abstract
This study aimed to identify the effect of using the gamification strategy on academic achievement and motivation towards learning problem-solving skills in computer and information technology course. A quasi-experimental method was adopted. The study population included tenth-grade female students in Al-Badi’ah schools in Riyadh. The sample consisted of 54 students divided into two equal groups: control group and experimental group. The study tools comprised an achievement test and the motivation scale. The results showed that there were statistically significant differences between the two groups in the academic achievement test in favor of the experimental group, with a large effect …

Predicting League Of Legends Ranked Games Outcome, Ngoc Linh Chi Nguyen
Predicting League Of Legends Ranked Games Outcome, Ngoc Linh Chi Nguyen
Senior Projects Spring 2022
League of Legends (LoL) is the one of most popular multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) games in the world. For LoL, the most competitive way to evaluate a player’s skill level, below the professional Esports level, is competitive ranked games. These ranked games utilize a matchmaking system based on the player’s ranks to form a fair team for each game. However, a rank game's outcome cannot necessarily be predicted using just players’ ranks, there are a significant number of different variables impacting a rank game depending on how well each team plays. In this paper, I propose a method to …
