Learning Representations Of Ultrahigh-Dimensional Data For Random Distance-Based Outlier Detection, Guansong Pang, Longbing Cao, Ling Chen, Defu Lian, Huan Liu Aug 2018

Learning Representations Of Ultrahigh-Dimensional Data For Random Distance-Based Outlier Detection, Guansong Pang, Longbing Cao, Ling Chen, Defu Lian, Huan Liu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Learning expressive low-dimensional representations of ultrahigh-dimensional data, e.g., data with thousands/millions of features, has been a major way to enable learning methods to address the curse of dimensionality. However, existing unsupervised representation learning methods mainly focus on preserving the data regularity information and learning the representations independently of subsequent outlier detection methods, which can result in suboptimal and unstable performance of detecting irregularities (i.e., outliers).This paper introduces a ranking model-based framework, called RAMODO, to address this issue. RAMODO unifies representation learning and outlier detection to learn low-dimensional representations that are tailored for a state-of-the-art outlier detection approach - the random …

Neural Collective Entity Linking, Yixin Cao, Lei Hou, Juanzi Li, Zhiyuan Liu Aug 2018

Neural Collective Entity Linking, Yixin Cao, Lei Hou, Juanzi Li, Zhiyuan Liu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Entity Linking aims to link entity mentions in texts to knowledge bases, and neural models have achieved recent success in this task. However, most existing methods rely on local contexts to resolve entities independently, which may usually fail due to the data sparsity of local information. To address this issue, we propose a novel neural model for collective entity linking, named as NCEL. NCEL applies Graph Convolutional Network to integrate both local contextual features and global coherence information for entity linking. To improve the computation efficiency, we approximately perform graph convolution on a subgraph of adjacent entity mentions instead of …

Evaluation Criteria For Selecting Nosql Databases In A Single Box Environment, Ryan D. Engle, Brent T. Langhals, Michael R. Grimaila, Douglas D. Hodson Aug 2018

Evaluation Criteria For Selecting Nosql Databases In A Single Box Environment, Ryan D. Engle, Brent T. Langhals, Michael R. Grimaila, Douglas D. Hodson

Faculty Publications

In recent years, NoSQL database systems have become increasingly popular, especially for big data, commercial applications. These systems were designed to overcome the scaling and flexibility limitations plaguing traditional relational database management systems (RDBMSs). Given NoSQL database systems have been typically implemented in large-scale distributed environments serving large numbers of simultaneous users across potentially thousands of geographically separated devices, little consideration has been given to evaluating their value within single-box environments. It is postulated some of the inherent traits of each NoSQL database type may be useful, perhaps even preferable, regardless of scale. Thus, this paper proposes criteria conceived to …

Fostering The Retrieval Of Suitable Web Resources In Response To Children's Educational Search Tasks, Oghenemaro Deborah Anuyah Aug 2018

Fostering The Retrieval Of Suitable Web Resources In Response To Children's Educational Search Tasks, Oghenemaro Deborah Anuyah

Boise State University Theses and Dissertations

Children regularly turn to search engines (SEs) to locate school-related materials. Unfortunately, research has shown that when utilizing SEs, children do not always access resources that specifically target them. To support children, popular and child-oriented SEs make available a safe search filter, which is meant to eliminate inappropriate resources. Safe search is, however, not always the perfect deterrent as pornographic and hate-based resources may slip through the filter, while resources relevant to an educational search context may be misconstrued and filtered out. Moreover, filtering inappropriate resources in response to children searches is just one perspective to consider in offering them …

Cryptovisor: A Cryptocurrency Advisor Tool, Matthew Baldree, Paul Widhalm, Brandon Hill, Matteo Ortisi

SMU Data Science Review

In this paper, we present a tool that provides trading recommendations for cryptocurrency using a stochastic gradient boost classifier trained from a model labeled by technical indicators. The cryptocurrency market is volatile due to its infancy and limited size making it difficult for investors to know when to enter, exit, or stay in the market. Therefore, a tool is needed to provide investment recommendations for investors. We developed such a tool to support one cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, based on its historical price and volume data to recommend a trading decision for today or past days. This tool is 95.50% accurate with …

Predicting River Stage Using Recurrent Neural Networks, Eric Rohli Jul 2018

Predicting River Stage Using Recurrent Neural Networks, Eric Rohli

LSU Master's Theses

River stage prediction is an important problem in the water transportation industry. Accurate river stage predictions provide crucial information to barge and tow boat operators, port terminal captains, and lock management officials. Shallow river levels caused by prolonged drought impact the loading capacity of barges and tow boats. High river levels caused by excessive rainfall or snowmelt allow for greater tow capacities but make downstream transportation and lock management risky. Current academic river height prediction systems utilize either time series statistical analysis or machine learning algorithms to forecast future river heights, but systems that combine these two areas often limit …

Is Information Systems Misuse Always Bad? A New Perspective On Is Misuse In Hospitals Under The Context Of Disasters, Dheyaaldin Alsalman Jul 2018

Is Information Systems Misuse Always Bad? A New Perspective On Is Misuse In Hospitals Under The Context Of Disasters, Dheyaaldin Alsalman

Masters Theses & Doctoral Dissertations

Although the extant literature has investigated how individuals engage in inappropriate behaviors based on the rational choice theory (RCT) (e.g., computer misconduct), the neutralization theory (e.g., IS security policies violation), and workarounds under normal situations, it has given little consideration to how individuals are involved in misuse of information systems with a good intention under the context of disasters. To fill this research gap, we propose a selfless misuse model, which offers a theoretical explanation for the concept of individuals’ selfless misuse intention under uncertainty caused by disasters. In this study, we show why employees make decisions to misuse the …

Hybrid Recommender For Online Petitions With Social Network And Psycholinguistic Features, Ahmed Elnoshokaty Jul 2018

Hybrid Recommender For Online Petitions With Social Network And Psycholinguistic Features, Ahmed Elnoshokaty

Masters Theses & Doctoral Dissertations

The online petition has become one of the most important channels of civic participation. Most of the state-of-the-art online platforms, however, tend to use simple indicators (such as popularity) to rank petitions, hence creating a situation where the most popular petitions dominate the rank and attract most people’s attention. For the petitions which focus on specific issues, they are often in a disadvantageous position on the list. For example, a petition for local environment problem may not be seen by many people who are really concerned with it, simply because it takes multiple pages to reach it. Therefore, the simple …

Autonomous Agents In Snake Game Via Deep Reinforcement Learning, Zhepei Wei, Di Wang, Ming Zhang, Ah-Hwee Tan, Chunyan Miao, You Zhou Jul 2018

Autonomous Agents In Snake Game Via Deep Reinforcement Learning, Zhepei Wei, Di Wang, Ming Zhang, Ah-Hwee Tan, Chunyan Miao, You Zhou

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Since DeepMind pioneered a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) model to play the Atari games, DRL has become a commonly adopted method to enable the agents to learn complex control policies in various video games. However, similar approaches may still need to be improved when applied to more challenging scenarios, where reward signals are sparse and delayed. In this paper, we develop a refined DRL model to enable our autonomous agent to play the classical Snake Game, whose constraint gets stricter as the game progresses. Specifically, we employ a convolutional neural network (CNN) trained with a variant of Q-learning. Moreover, we …

Mining Temporal Activity Patterns On Social Media, Nikan Chavoshi Jul 2018

Mining Temporal Activity Patterns On Social Media, Nikan Chavoshi

Computer Science ETDs

Social media provide communication networks for their users to easily create and share content. Automated accounts, called bots, abuse these platforms by engaging in suspicious and/or illegal activities. Bots push spam content and participate in sponsored activities to expand their audience. The prevalence of bot accounts in social media can harm the usability of these platforms, and decrease the level of trustworthiness in them. The main goal of this dissertation is to show that temporal analysis facilitates detecting bots in social media. I introduce new bot detection techniques which exploit temporal information. Since automated accounts are controlled by computer programs, …

Context Recovery In Location-Based Social Networks, Wen Haw Chong Jul 2018

Context Recovery In Location-Based Social Networks, Wen Haw Chong

Dissertations and Theses Collection (Open Access)

This dissertation addresses context recovery in Location-Based Social Networks (LBSN), which are platforms where users post content from various locations. With this general LBSN definition, many existing social media platforms that support user-generated location relevant content using mobile devices could also qualify as LBSNs. Context recovery for such user posts refers to recovering the venue and the semantic contexts of these user posts. Such information is useful for user profiling and to support various applications such as venue recommendation and location- based advertising.

Striving To Earn More: A Survey Of Work Strategies And Tool Use Among Crowd Workers, Toni Kaplan, Susumu Saito, Kotaro Hara, Jeffrey P. Bigham

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Earning money is a primary motivation for workers on Amazon Mechanical Turk, but earning a good wage is difficult because work that pays well is not easily identified and can be time-consuming to find. We explored the strategies that both low- and high-earning workers use to find and complete tasks via a survey of 360 workers. Nearly all workers surveyed had earning money as their primary goal, and workers used many of the same tools (browser extensions and scripts) and strategies in an attempt to earn more money, regardless of earning level. However, high-earning workers used more tools, were more …

Efficient Representative Subset Selection Over Sliding Windows, Yanhao Wang, Yuchen Li, Kian-Lee Tan Jul 2018

Efficient Representative Subset Selection Over Sliding Windows, Yanhao Wang, Yuchen Li, Kian-Lee Tan

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Representative subset selection (RSS) is an important tool for users to draw insights from massive datasets. Existing literature models RSS as submodular maximization to capture the "diminishing returns" property of representativeness, but often only has a single constraint, which limits its applications to many real-world problems. To capture the recency issue and support various constraints, we formulate dynamic RSS as maximizing submodular functions subject to general d -knapsack constraints (SMDK) over sliding windows. We propose a KnapWindow framework (KW) for SMDK. KW utilizes KnapStream (KS) for SMDK in append-only streams as a subroutine. It maintains a sequence of checkpoints and …

Deeptravel: A Neural Network Based Travel Time Estimation Model With Auxiliary Supervision, Hanyuan Zhang, Hao Wu, Weiwei Sun, Baihua Zheng Jul 2018

Deeptravel: A Neural Network Based Travel Time Estimation Model With Auxiliary Supervision, Hanyuan Zhang, Hao Wu, Weiwei Sun, Baihua Zheng

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Estimating the travel time of a path is of great importance to smart urban mobility. Existing approaches are either based on estimating the time cost of each road segment or designed heuristically in a non-learning-based way. The former is not able to capture many cross-segment complex factors while the latter fails to utilize the existing abundant temporal labels of the data, i.e., the time stamp of each trajectory point. In this paper, we leverage on new development of deep neural networks and propose a novel auxiliary supervision model, namely DeepTravel, that can automatically and effectively extract different features, as well …

Probabilistic Guided Exploration For Reinforcement Learning In Self-Organizing Neural Networks, Peng Wang, Weigui Jair Zhou, Di Wang, Ah-Hwee Tan Jul 2018

Probabilistic Guided Exploration For Reinforcement Learning In Self-Organizing Neural Networks, Peng Wang, Weigui Jair Zhou, Di Wang, Ah-Hwee Tan

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Exploration is essential in reinforcement learning, which expands the search space of potential solutions to a given problem for performance evaluations. Specifically, carefully designed exploration strategy may help the agent learn faster by taking the advantage of what it has learned previously. However, many reinforcement learning mechanisms still adopt simple exploration strategies, which select actions in a pure random manner among all the feasible actions. In this paper, we propose novel mechanisms to improve the existing knowledgebased exploration strategy based on a probabilistic guided approach to select actions. We conduct extensive experiments in a Minefield navigation simulator and the results …

Modeling Contemporaneous Basket Sequences With Twin Networks For Next-Item Recommendation, Duc Trong Le, Hady W. Lauw, Yuan Fang Jul 2018

Modeling Contemporaneous Basket Sequences With Twin Networks For Next-Item Recommendation, Duc Trong Le, Hady W. Lauw, Yuan Fang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Our interactions with an application frequently leave a heterogeneous and contemporaneous trail of actions and adoptions (e.g., clicks, bookmarks, purchases). Given a sequence of a particular type (e.g., purchases)-- referred to as the target sequence, we seek to predict the next item expected to appear beyond this sequence. This task is known as next-item recommendation. We hypothesize two means for improvement. First, within each time step, a user may interact with multiple items (a basket), with potential latent associations among them. Second, predicting the next item in the target sequence may be helped by also learning from another supporting sequence …

Pacela: A Neural Framework For User Visitation In Location-Based Social Networks, Thanh Nam Doan, Ee-Peng Lim Jul 2018

Pacela: A Neural Framework For User Visitation In Location-Based Social Networks, Thanh Nam Doan, Ee-Peng Lim

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Check-in prediction using location-based social network data is an important research problem for both academia and industry since an accurate check-in predictive model is useful to many applications, e.g. urban planning, venue recommendation, route suggestion, and context-aware advertising. Intuitively, when considering venues to visit, users may rely on their past observed visit histories as well as some latent attributes associated with the venues. In this paper, we therefore propose a check-in prediction model based on a neural framework called Preference and Context Embeddings with Latent Attributes (PACELA). PACELA learns the embeddings space for the user and venue data as well …

Online Deep Learning: Learning Deep Neural Networks On The Fly, Doyen Sahoo, Hong Quang Pham, Jing Lu, Steven C. H. Hoi Jul 2018

Online Deep Learning: Learning Deep Neural Networks On The Fly, Doyen Sahoo, Hong Quang Pham, Jing Lu, Steven C. H. Hoi

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are typically trained by backpropagation in a batch setting, requiring the entire training data to be made available prior to the learning task. This is not scalable for many real-world scenarios where new data arrives sequentially in a stream. We aim to address an open challenge of “Online Deep Learning” (ODL) for learning DNNs on the fly in an online setting. Unlike traditional online learning that often optimizes some convex objective function with respect to a shallow model (e.g., a linear/kernel-based hypothesis), ODL is more challenging as the optimization objective is non-convex, and regular DNN with …

Distributed K-Nearest Neighbor Queries In Metric Spaces, Xin Ding, Yuanliang Zhang, Lu Chen, Yunjun Gao, Baihua Zheng Jul 2018

Distributed K-Nearest Neighbor Queries In Metric Spaces, Xin Ding, Yuanliang Zhang, Lu Chen, Yunjun Gao, Baihua Zheng

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Metric k nearest neighbor (MkNN) queries have applications in many areas such as multimedia retrieval, computational biology, and location-based services. With the growing volumes of data, a distributed method is required. In this paper, we propose an Asynchronous Metric Distributed System (AMDS), which uniformly partitions the data with the pivot-mapping technique to ensure the load balancing, and employs publish/subscribe communication model to asynchronously process large scale of queries. The employment of asynchronous processing model also improves robustness and efficiency of AMDS. In addition, we develop an efficient estimation based MkNN method using AMDS to improve the query efficiency. Extensive experiments …

Online Active Learning With Expert Advice, Shuji Hao, Peiying Hu, Peilin Zhao, Steven C. H. Hoi, Chunyan Miao Jul 2018

Online Active Learning With Expert Advice, Shuji Hao, Peiying Hu, Peilin Zhao, Steven C. H. Hoi, Chunyan Miao

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

In literature, learning with expert advice methods usually assume that a learner always obtain the true label of every incoming training instance at the end of each trial. However, in many real-world applications, acquiring the true labels of all instances can be both costly and time consuming, especially for large-scale problems. For example, in the social media, data stream usually comes in a high speed and volume, and it is nearly impossible and highly costly to label all of the instances. In this article, we address this problem with active learning with expert advice, where the ground truth of an …
