Unified Entity Search In Social Media Community, Ting Yao, Yuan Liu, Chong-Wah Ngo, Tao Mei
Unified Entity Search In Social Media Community, Ting Yao, Yuan Liu, Chong-Wah Ngo, Tao Mei
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The search for entities is the most common search behavior on the Web, especially in social media communities where entities (such as images, videos, people, locations, and tags) are highly heterogeneous and correlated. While previous research usually deals with these social media entities separately, we are investigating in this paper a unified, multilevel, and correlative entity graph to represent the unstructured social media data, through which various applications (e.g., friend suggestion, personalized image search, image tagging, etc.) can be realized more effectively in one single framework. We regard the social media objects equally as “entities” and all of these applications …
Why Individuals Seek Diverse Opinions (Or Why They Don't), Jisun An, Daniele Quercia, Jon Crowcroft
Why Individuals Seek Diverse Opinions (Or Why They Don't), Jisun An, Daniele Quercia, Jon Crowcroft
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Fact checking has been hard enough to do in traditional settings, but, as news consumption is moving on the Internet and sources multiply, it is almost unmanageable. To solve this problem, researchers have created applications that expose people to diverse opinions and, as a result, expose them to balanced information. The wisdom of this solution is, however, placed in doubt by this paper. Survey responses of 60 individuals in the UK and South Korea and in-depth structured interviews of 10 respondents suggest that exposure to diverse opinions would not always work. That is partly because not all individuals equally value …
Vehicle Localization Along A Previously Driven Route Using An Image Database, Hideyuki Kume, Arne Suppe, Arne Suppe
Vehicle Localization Along A Previously Driven Route Using An Image Database, Hideyuki Kume, Arne Suppe, Arne Suppe
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In most autonomous driving applications, such as parking and commuting, a vehicle follows a previously taken route, or almost the same route. In this paper, we propose a method to localize a vehicle along a previously driven route using images. The proposed method consists of two stages: offline creation of a database, and online localization. In the offline stage, a database is created from images that are captured when the vehicle drives a route for the first time. The database consists of images, 3D positions of feature points estimated by structure-from-motion, and a topological graph. In the online stage, the …
Personal Informatics In Chronic Illness Management, Haley Macleod, Anthony Tang, Sheelagh Carpendale
Personal Informatics In Chronic Illness Management, Haley Macleod, Anthony Tang, Sheelagh Carpendale
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Many people with chronic illness suffer from debilitating symptoms or episodes that inhibit normal day-to-day function. Pervasive tools offer the possibility to help manage these conditions, particularly by helping people understand their conditions. But, it is unclear how to design these tools, as prior designs have focused on effortful tracking and many see those tools as a burden to use. We report here on an interview study with 12 individuals with chronic illnesses who collect personal data. We learn that these people are motivated through self-discovery and curiosity. We explore how these concepts may support the design of tools that …
Behind The Magical Numbers: Hierarchical Chunking And The Human Working Memory Capacity, Guoqi Li, Ning Ning, Kiruthika Ramanathan, Wei He, Li Pan, Luping Shi
Behind The Magical Numbers: Hierarchical Chunking And The Human Working Memory Capacity, Guoqi Li, Ning Ning, Kiruthika Ramanathan, Wei He, Li Pan, Luping Shi
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
To explore the influence of chunking on the capacity limits of working memory, a model for chunking in sequential working memory is proposed, using hierarchical bidirectional inhibition-connected neural networks with winnerless competition. With the assumption of the existence of an upper bound to the inhibitory weights in neurobiological networks, it is shown that chunking increases the number of memorized items in working memory from the "magical number 7" to 16 items. The optimal number of chunks and the number of the memorized items in each chunk are the "magical number 4".
Enabling Generative, Emergent Artificial Culture, Jaroslaw Kochanowicz, Ah-Hwee Tan, Daniel Thalmann
Enabling Generative, Emergent Artificial Culture, Jaroslaw Kochanowicz, Ah-Hwee Tan, Daniel Thalmann
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Despite the demand for culturally placed agent models, an adequate simulation approach to the relationship between group-cultural and individual-psychological qualities, including culture emergence, is just appearing. It could be argued that we are at the beginning of a domain forming process, a dawn of generative, emergent artificial culture. In this context we discuss current limitations and argue e.g. that too far reaching agent simplicity within Agent Based Modeling limits the emergence of realistic cultural-conventional level and we advocate psychologically rich models of culture forming mechanisms. We propose an approach to cultural phenomena modeling based on the interaction of habitual, affective …

Impact Of Multimedia In Sina Weibo: Popularity And Life Span, Xun Zhao, Feida Zhu, Weining Qian, Aoying Zhou
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Multimedia contents such as images and videos are widely used in social network sites nowadays. Sina Weibo, a Chinese microblogging service, is one of the first microblog platforms to incorporate multimedia content sharing features. This work provides statistical analysis on how multimedia contents are produced, consumed, and propagated in Sina Weibo. Based on 230 million tweets and 1.8 million user profiles in Sina Weibo, we study the impact of multimedia contents on the popularity of both users and tweets as well as tweet life span. Our preliminary study shows that multimedia tweets dominant pure text ones in Sina Weibo. Multimedia …
Cost-Sensitive Double Updating Online Learning And Its Application To Online Anomaly Detection, Peilin Zhao, Steven C. H. Hoi
Cost-Sensitive Double Updating Online Learning And Its Application To Online Anomaly Detection, Peilin Zhao, Steven C. H. Hoi
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Although both cost-sensitive classification and online learning have been well studied separately in data mining and machine learning, there was very few comprehensive study of cost-sensitive online classification in literature. In this paper, we formally investigate this problem by directly optimizing cost-sensitive measures for an online classification task. As the first comprehensive study, we propose the Cost-Sensitive Double Updating Online Learning (CSDUOL) algorithms, which explores a recent double updating technique to tackle the online optimization task of cost-sensitive classification by maximizing the weighted sum or minimizing the weighted misclassification cost. We theoretically analyze the cost-sensitive measure bounds of the proposed …
Fans: Face Annotation By Searching Large-Scale Web Facial Images, Steven Hoi, Dayong Wang, I Yeu Cheng, Elmer Lin, Jianke Zhu, Ying He, Chunyan Miao
Fans: Face Annotation By Searching Large-Scale Web Facial Images, Steven Hoi, Dayong Wang, I Yeu Cheng, Elmer Lin, Jianke Zhu, Ying He, Chunyan Miao
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Auto face annotation is an important technique for many real-world applications, such as online photo album management, new video summarization, and so on. It aims to automatically detect human faces from a photo image and further name the faces with the corresponding human names. Recently, mining web facial images on the internet has emerged as a promising paradigm towards auto face annotation. In this paper, we present a demonstration system of search-based face annotation: FANS - Face ANnotation by Searching large-scale web facial images. Given a query facial image for annotation, we first retrieve a short list of the most …

Your Love Is Public Now: Questioning The Use Of Personal Information In Authentication, Payas Gupta, Swapna Gottipati, Jing Jiang, Debin Gao
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Most social networking platforms protect user's private information by limiting access to it to a small group of members, typically friends of the user, while allowing (virtually) everyone's access to the user's public data. In this paper, we exploit public data available on Facebook to infer users' undisclosed interests on their profile pages. In particular, we infer their undisclosed interests from the public data fetched using Graph APIs provided by Facebook. We demonstrate that simply liking a Facebook page does not corroborate that the user is interested in the page. Instead, we perform sentiment-oriented mining on various attributes of a …
It Is Not Just What We Say, But How We Say Them: Lda-Based Behavior-Topic Model, Minghui Qiu, Feida Zhu, Jing Jiang
It Is Not Just What We Say, But How We Say Them: Lda-Based Behavior-Topic Model, Minghui Qiu, Feida Zhu, Jing Jiang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Textual information exchanged among users on online social network platforms provides deep understanding into users' interest and behavioral patterns. However, unlike traditional text-dominant settings such as o ine publishing, one distinct feature for online social network is users' rich interactions with the textual content, which, unfortunately, has not yet been well incorporated in the existing topic modeling frameworks. In this paper, we propose an LDA-based behavior-topic model (B-LDA) which jointly models user topic interests and behavioral patterns. We focus the study of the model on online social network settings such as microblogs like Twitter where the textual content is relatively …
Retweeting: An Act Of Viral Users, Susceptible Users, Or Viral Topics?, Tuan-Anh Hoang, Ee Peng Lim
Retweeting: An Act Of Viral Users, Susceptible Users, Or Viral Topics?, Tuan-Anh Hoang, Ee Peng Lim
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
When a user retweets, there are three behavioral factors that cause the actions. They are the topic virality, user virality and user susceptibility. Topic virality captures the degree to which a topic attracts retweets by users. For each topic, user virality and susceptibility refer to the likelihood that a user attracts retweets and performs retweeting respectively. To model a set of observed retweet data as a result of these three topic specific factors, we first represent the retweets as a three-dimensional tensor of the tweet authors, their followers, and the tweets themselves. We then propose the V 2S model, a …
R-Energy For Evaluating Robustness Of Dynamic Networks, Ming Gao, Ee Peng Lim, David Lo
R-Energy For Evaluating Robustness Of Dynamic Networks, Ming Gao, Ee Peng Lim, David Lo
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The robustness of a network is determined by how well its vertices are connected to one another so as to keep the network strong and sustainable. As the network evolves its robustness changes and may reveal events as well as periodic trend patterns that affect the interactions among users in the network. In this paper, we develop R-energy as a new measure of network robustness based on the spectral analysis of normalized Laplacian matrix. R-energy can cope with disconnected networks, and is efficient to compute with a time complexity of O (jV j + jEj) where V and E are …
Fragmented Social Media: A Look Into Selective Exposure To Political News, Jisun An, Daniele Quercia, Jon Crowcroft
Fragmented Social Media: A Look Into Selective Exposure To Political News, Jisun An, Daniele Quercia, Jon Crowcroft
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The hypothesis of selective exposure assumes that people crave like-minded information and eschew information that conflicts with their beliefs, and that has negative consequences on political life. Yet, despite decades of research, this hypothesis remains theoretically promising but empirically difficult to test. We look into news articles shared on Facebook and examine whether selective exposure exists or not in social media. We find a concrete evidence for a tendency that users predominantly share like-minded news articles and avoid conflicting ones, and partisans are more likely to do that. Building tools to counter partisanship on social media would require the ability …
Strong Location Privacy: A Case Study On Shortest Path Queries [Invited Paper], Kyriakos Mouratidis
Strong Location Privacy: A Case Study On Shortest Path Queries [Invited Paper], Kyriakos Mouratidis
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The last few years have witnessed an increasing availability of location-based services (LBSs). Although particularly useful, such services raise serious privacy concerns. For example, exposing to a (potentially untrusted) LBS the client's position may reveal personal information, such as social habits, health condition, shopping preferences, lifestyle choices, etc. There is a large body of work on protecting the location privacy of the clients. In this paper, we focus on shortest path queries, describe a framework based on private information retrieval (PIR), and conclude with open questions about the practicality of PIR and other location privacy approaches.

Vistruclizer: A Structural Visualizer For Multi-Dimensional Social Networks, Bingtian Dai, Agus Trisnajaya Kwee, Ee Peng Lim
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
With the popularity of Web 2.0 sites, social networks today increasingly involve different kinds of relationships among different types of users in a single network. Such social networks are said to be multi-dimensional. Analyzing multi-dimensional networks is a challenging research task that requires intelligent visualization techniques. In this paper, we therefore propose a visual analytics tool called ViStruclizer to analyze structures embedded in a multi-dimensional social network. ViStruclizer incorporates structure analyzers that summarize social networks into both node clusters each representing a set of users, and edge clusters representing relationships between users in the node clusters. ViStruclizer supports user interactions …

Roundtriprank: Graph-Based Proximity With Importance And Specificity, Yuan Fang, Kevin Chen-Chuan Chang, Hady W. Lauw
Roundtriprank: Graph-Based Proximity With Importance And Specificity, Yuan Fang, Kevin Chen-Chuan Chang, Hady W. Lauw
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Graph-based proximity has many applications with different ranking needs. However, most previous works only stress the sense of importance by finding "popular” results for a query. Often times important results are overly general without being well-tailored to the query, lacking a sense of specificity— which only emerges recently. Even then, the two senses are treated independently, and only combined empirically. In this paper, we generalize the well-studied importance-based random walk into a round trip and develop RoundTripRank, seamlessly integrating specificity and importance in one coherent process. We also recognize the need for a flexible trade-off between the two senses, and …
Finding The Optimal Social Trust Path For The Selection Of Trustworthy Service Providers In Complex Social Networks, Guanfeng Liu, Yan Wang, Mehmet A. Orgun, Ee Peng Lim
Finding The Optimal Social Trust Path For The Selection Of Trustworthy Service Providers In Complex Social Networks, Guanfeng Liu, Yan Wang, Mehmet A. Orgun, Ee Peng Lim
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Online social networks have provided the infrastructure for a number of emerging applications in recent years, e.g., for the recommendation of service providers or the recommendation of files as services. In these applications, trust is one of the most important factors in decision making by a service consumer, requiring the evaluation of the trustworthiness of a service provider along the social trust paths from a service consumer to the service provider. However, there are usually many social trust paths between two participants who are unknown to one another. In addition, some social information, such as social relationships between participants and …
Beta Atomic Contacts: Identifying Critical Specific Contacts In Protein Binding Interfaces, Qian Lu, Chee Keong Kwoh, Steven C. H. Hoi
Beta Atomic Contacts: Identifying Critical Specific Contacts In Protein Binding Interfaces, Qian Lu, Chee Keong Kwoh, Steven C. H. Hoi
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Specific binding between proteins plays a crucial role in molecular functions and biological processes. Protein binding interfaces and their atomic contacts are typically defined by simple criteria, such as distance-based definitions that only use some threshold of spatial distance in previous studies. These definitions neglect the nearby atomic organization of contact atoms, and thus detect predominant contacts which are interrupted by other atoms. It is questionable whether such kinds of interrupted contacts are as important as other contacts in protein binding. To tackle this challenge, we propose a new definition called beta (β) atomic contacts. Our definition, founded on the …
Core Versus Peripheral Information Technology Employees And Their Impact On Firm Performance, Ling Liu, Daniel Q. Chen, Nan Hu, Indranil Bose, Garry D. Bruton
Core Versus Peripheral Information Technology Employees And Their Impact On Firm Performance, Ling Liu, Daniel Q. Chen, Nan Hu, Indranil Bose, Garry D. Bruton
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Scholars have widely argued, but not previously examined, that core employees with firm specific skills are critical to the firm's strategic success. This argument has led to the belief that employees whose skills are not firm specific can be readily replaced in the external market and are peripheral to the firm's strategic goals. Employing a resource based view of the firm, we find that the core information technology (IT) employees with firm specific skills are value-adding resources that aid the firm's performance whereas peripheral employees with less firm specific skills provide no value to the firm's performance. Examining the issue …

Twicube: A Real-Time Twitter Online Community Analysis Tool, Juan Du, Wei Xie, Cheng Li, Feida Zhu, Ee Peng Lim
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
As a micro-blogging service, Twitter differs from other social network services in two ways: 1) the absence of mutual consent in establishing follow links and 2) being a mixture of news media and social network. A key question to ask in better understanding Twitter user behavior is which part of a user’s Twitter network reflects one’s real-life social network. TwiCube is an online tool that employs a novel algorithm capable of identifying a user’s real-life social community, which we call the user’s off-line community, purely from examining the link structure among the user’s followers and followees. Based on the identified …
Dynamic Label Propagation In Social Networks, Juan Du, Feida Zhu, Ee Peng Lim
Dynamic Label Propagation In Social Networks, Juan Du, Feida Zhu, Ee Peng Lim
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Label propagation has been studied for many years, starting from a set of nodes with labels and then propagating to those without labels. In social networks, building complete user profiles like interests and affiliations contributes to the systems like link prediction, personalized feeding, etc. Since the labels for each user are mostly not filled, we often employ some people to label these users. And therefore, the cost of human labeling is high if the data set is large. To reduce the expense, we need to select the optimal data set for labeling, which produces the best propagation result. In this …

Enabling An Integrated Rate-Temporal Learning Scheme On Memristor, Wei He, Kejie Huang, Ning Ning, Kiruthika Ramanathan, Guoqi Li, Yu Jiang, Jiayin Sze, Luping Shi, Rong Zhao, Jing Pei
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Learning scheme is the key to the utilization of spike-based computation and the emulation of neural/synaptic behaviors toward realization of cognition. The biological observations reveal an integrated spike time- and spike rate-dependent plasticity as a function of presynaptic firing frequency. However, this integrated rate-temporal learning scheme has not been realized on any nano devices. In this paper, such scheme is successfully demonstrated on a memristor. Great robustness against the spiking rate fluctuation is achieved by waveform engineering with the aid of good analog properties exhibited by the iron oxide-based memristor. The spike-time-dependence plasticity (STDP) occurs at moderate presynaptic firing frequencies …

Robust Image Analysis With Sparse Representation On Quantized Visual Features, Bingkun Bao, Guangyu Zhu, Jialie Shen, Shuicheng Yan
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Recent techniques based on Sparse Representation (SR) have demonstrated promising performance on high-level visual recognition, exemplified by the high-accuracy face recognition under occlusions and other sparse corruptions [1]. Most research in this area has focused on classification algorithms using raw image pixels, and very few have been proposed to utilize the quantized visual features, such as the popular Bagof- Words (BOW) feature abstraction. In such cases, besides the inherent quantization errors, ambiguity associated with visual word assignment and mis-detection of feature points due to factors such as visual occlusions and noises, constitutes the major causes to the dense corruptions of …
Semi-Supervised Heterogeneous Fusion For Multimedia Data Co-Clustering, Lei Meng, Ah-Hwee Tan, Dong Xu
Semi-Supervised Heterogeneous Fusion For Multimedia Data Co-Clustering, Lei Meng, Ah-Hwee Tan, Dong Xu
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Co-clustering is a commonly used technique for tapping the rich meta-information of multimedia web documents, including category, annotation, and description, for associative discovery. However, most co-clustering methods proposed for heterogeneous data do not consider the representation problem of short and noisy text and their performance is limited by the empirical weighting of the multi-modal features. In this paper, we propose a generalized form of Heterogeneous Fusion Adaptive Resonance Theory, called GHF-ART, for co-clustering of large-scale web multimedia documents. By extending the two-channel Heterogeneous Fusion ART (HF-ART) to multiple channels, GHF-ART is designed to handle multimedia data with an arbitrarily rich …
Confidence Weighted Mean Reversion Strategy For Online Portfolio Selection, Bin Li, Steven C. H. Hoi, Peilin Zhao, Vivekanand Gopalkrishnan
Confidence Weighted Mean Reversion Strategy For Online Portfolio Selection, Bin Li, Steven C. H. Hoi, Peilin Zhao, Vivekanand Gopalkrishnan
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Online portfolio selection has been attracting increasing attention from the data mining and machine learning communities. All existing online portfolio selection strategies focus on the first order information of a portfolio vector, though the second order information may also be beneficial to a strategy. Moreover, empirical evidence shows that relative stock prices may follow the mean reversion property, which has not been fully exploited by existing strategies. This article proposes a novel online portfolio selection strategy named Confidence Weighted Mean Reversion (CWMR). Inspired by the mean reversion principle in finance and confidence weighted online learning technique in machine learning, CWMR …
Image Collection Summarization Via Dictionary Learning For Sparse Representation, Chunlei Yang, Jialie Shen, Jinye Peng, Jianping Fan
Image Collection Summarization Via Dictionary Learning For Sparse Representation, Chunlei Yang, Jialie Shen, Jinye Peng, Jianping Fan
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In this paper, a novel approach is developed to achieve automatic image collection summarization. The effectiveness of the summary is reflected by its ability to reconstruct the original set or each individual image in the set. We have leveraged the dictionary learning for sparse representation model to construct the summary and to represent the image. Specifically we reformulate the summarization problem into a dictionary learning problem by selecting bases which can be sparsely combined to represent the original image and achieve a minimum global reconstruction error, such as MSE (Mean Square Error). The resulting “Sparse Least Square” problem is NP-hard, …

A Self-Training Framework For Automatic Identification Of Exploratory Dialogue, Zhongyu Wei, Yulan He, Simon Shum, Rebecca Ferguson, Wei Gao, Kam-Fai Wong
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The dramatic increase in online learning materials over the last decade has made it difficult for individuals to locate information they need. Until now, researchers in the field of Learning Analytics have had to rely on the use of manual approaches to identify exploratory dialogue. This type of dialogue is desirable in online learning environments, since training learners to use it has been shown to improve learning outcomes. In this paper, we frame the problem of exploratory dialogue detection as a binary classification task, classifying a given contribution to an online dialogue as exploratory or non-exploratory. We propose a self-training …

Data Visualization On Interactive Surfaces: A Research Agenda, Petra Isenberg, Tobias Isenberg, Tobias Hesselmann, Bongshin Lee, Ulrich Von Zadow, Anthony Tang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Interactive tabletops and surfaces (ITSs) provide rich opportunities for data visualization and analysis and consequently are used increasingly in such settings. A research agenda of some of the most pressing challenges related to visualization on ITSs emerged from discussions with researchers and practitioners in human-computer interaction, computer-supported collaborative work, and a variety of visualization fields at the 2011 Workshop on Data Exploration for Interactive Surfaces (Dexis 2011)
