Enhancing Usability And Explainability Of Data Systems, Anna Fariha
Enhancing Usability And Explainability Of Data Systems, Anna Fariha
Doctoral Dissertations
The recent growth of data science expanded its reach to an ever-growing user base of nonexperts, increasing the need for usability, understandability, and explainability in these systems. Enhancing usability makes data systems accessible to people with different skills and backgrounds alike, leading to democratization of data systems. Furthermore, proper understanding of data and data-driven systems is necessary for the users to trust the function of the systems that learn from data. Finally, data systems should be transparent: when a data system behaves unexpectedly or malfunctions, the users deserve proper explanation of what caused the observed incident. Unfortunately, …

Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) Conference Proceedings
Although some general definitions classify Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI) as technological standards, institutional and even political agreements, which allow the discovery and use of geospatial information by users for different purposes [Kuhn 2005], computationally this platforms are valuable data repositories that should reach people efficiently and effectively for analysis and decision making on issues of collective interest. Costa Rica has several SDIs experiences at national level (SNIT - http://www.snitcr.go.cr), regional level (IDEHN - http://www.idehn.tec.ac.cr) or local/cantonal level (IDESCA - http://idesca.cr). Those infrastructures can facilitate access between geospatial information managers and their consumers through the implementation of particular software applications. The …
Design And Implementation Of Digital Information Security For Physical Documents, Pengcheng Wang
Design And Implementation Of Digital Information Security For Physical Documents, Pengcheng Wang
Masters Theses
The objective of this thesis is to improve the security for physical paper documents. Providing information security has been difficult in environments that rely on physical paper documents to implement business processes. Our work presents the design of a digital information security system for paper documents, called "CryptoPaper", that uses 2-dimensional codes to represent data and its security properties on paper. A special scanner system is designed for "CryptoPaper" which uses image recognition techniques and cloud-based access control to display plaintext of encrypted and encoded data to authorized users.
