Analysis Of Median Household Income Differences Between Election Day-Vbm And Eip Voters, Mark Salling, Norman Robbins
Analysis Of Median Household Income Differences Between Election Day-Vbm And Eip Voters, Mark Salling, Norman Robbins
All Maxine Goodman Levin School of Urban Affairs Publications
Analysis of early in-person (EIP) voting in 2008 in Cuyahoga County shows that African-American, white, and Hispanic voters who used EIP voting had significantly lower incomes than members of those same groups who voted on election day or by mail. This result applies to those voting EIP on weekdays, extended weekday hours, weekends, and the three days before election day.
Using Attribute Behavior Diversity To Build Accurate Decision Tree Committees For Microarray Data, Qian Han, Guozhu Dong
Using Attribute Behavior Diversity To Build Accurate Decision Tree Committees For Microarray Data, Qian Han, Guozhu Dong
Kno.e.sis Publications
DNA microarrays (gene chips), frequently used in biological and medical studies, measure the expressions of thousands of genes per sample. Using microarray data to build accurate classifiers for diseases is an important task. This paper introduces an algorithm, called Committee of Decision Trees by Attribute Behavior Diversity (CABD), to build highly accurate ensembles of decision trees for such data. Since a committee's accuracy is greatly influenced by the diversity among its member classifiers, CABD uses two new ideas to "optimize" that diversity, namely (1) the concept of attribute behavior–based similarity between attributes, and (2) …
Ethical Considerations For Virtual Worlds, Alanah Mitchell, Deepak Khazanchi
Ethical Considerations For Virtual Worlds, Alanah Mitchell, Deepak Khazanchi
Information Systems and Quantitative Analysis Faculty Proceedings & Presentations
Metaverses, like Second Life and Teleplace, and the inherent technology capabilities that they offer continue to be of interest for researchers, practitioners, and educators. Due to this trend, and the uncertainty regarding immersive virtual experiences as contrasted with face-to-face experiences, there is a need to further understand the ethical challenges associated with this virtual context. This paper presents a starting point for discussing ethics in virtual worlds. Specifically, we review virtual worlds and their unique technology capabilities as well as the ethical considerations that arise due to these unique capabilities.
Collective Churn Prediction In Social Network, Richard J. Oentaryo, Ee-Peng Lim, David Lo, Feida Zhu, Philips K. Prasetyo
Collective Churn Prediction In Social Network, Richard J. Oentaryo, Ee-Peng Lim, David Lo, Feida Zhu, Philips K. Prasetyo
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In service-based industries, churn poses a significant threat to the integrity of the user communities and profitability of the service providers. As such, research on churn prediction methods has been actively pursued, involving either intrinsic, user profile factors or extrinsic, social factors. However, existing approaches often address each type of factors separately, thus lacking a comprehensive view of churn behaviors. In this paper, we propose a new churn prediction approach based on collective classification (CC), which accounts for both the intrinsic and extrinsic factors by utilizing the local features of, and dependencies among, individuals during prediction steps. We evaluate our …

(Hidden) Social Influences In Switching Mobile Service Platforms, Virpi K. Tuunainen, Tuure Tuunanen, Fiona Fui-Hoon Nah
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
During the past few years, the mobile industry has gone through a radical change from business focusing on excellence in device manufacturing and supply chain management to ecosystems around successful focal players, such as Apple and Google, controlling these service platforms. In order to compete in this environment, these firms need to understand what makes a consumer switch between these mobile service platforms. To that end, we conducted an inductive qualitative study with university students from Finland and USA as subjects (142 altogether), delving into how and why consumers switch mobile phones, and what are the factors affecting their decisions. …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Our paper explores the interaction of persistent firing axonal and presynaptic processes in the generation of short term memory for habituation. We first propose a model of a sensory neuron whose axon is able to switch between passive conduction and persistent firing states, thereby triggering short term retention to the stimulus. Then we propose a model of a habituating synapse and explore all nine of the behavioral characteristics of short term habituation in a two neuron circuit. We couple the persistent firing neuron to the habituation synapse and investigate the behavior of short term retention of habituating response. Simulations show …
Boosting Multi-Kernel Locality-Sensitive Hashing For Scalable Image Retrieval, Hao Xia, Steven C. H. Hoi, Pengcheng Wu, Rong Jin
Boosting Multi-Kernel Locality-Sensitive Hashing For Scalable Image Retrieval, Hao Xia, Steven C. H. Hoi, Pengcheng Wu, Rong Jin
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Similarity search is a key challenge for multimedia retrieval applications where data are usually represented in high-dimensional space. Among various algorithms proposed for similarity search in high-dimensional space, Locality-Sensitive Hashing (LSH) is the most popular one, which recently has been extended to Kernelized Locality-Sensitive Hashing (KLSH) by exploiting kernel similarity for better retrieval efficacy. Typically, KLSH works only with a single kernel, which is often limited in real-world multimedia applications, where data may originate from multiple resources or can be represented in several different forms. For example, in content-based multimedia retrieval, a variety of features can be extracted to represent …
Confidence-Aware Graph Regularization With Heterogeneous Pairwise Features, Yuan Fang, Bo-June Paul Hsu, Kevin Chen-Chuan Chang
Confidence-Aware Graph Regularization With Heterogeneous Pairwise Features, Yuan Fang, Bo-June Paul Hsu, Kevin Chen-Chuan Chang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Conventional classification methods tend to focus on features of individual objects, while missing out on potentially valuable pairwise features that capture the relationships between objects. Although recent developments on graph regularization exploit this aspect, existing works generally assume only a single kind of pairwise feature, which is often insufficient. We observe that multiple, heterogeneous pairwise features can often complement each other and are generally more robust in modeling the relationships between objects. Furthermore, as some objects are easier to classify than others, objects with higher initial classification confidence should be weighed more towards classifying related but more ambiguous objects, an …
Online Feature Selection For Mining Big Data, Steven C. H. Hoi, Jialei Wang, Peilin Zhao, Rong Jin
Online Feature Selection For Mining Big Data, Steven C. H. Hoi, Jialei Wang, Peilin Zhao, Rong Jin
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Most studies of online learning require accessing all the attributes/features of training instances. Such a classical setting is not always appropriate for real-world applications when data instances are of high dimensionality or the access to it is expensive to acquire the full set of attributes/features. To address this limitation, we investigate the problem of Online Feature Selection (OFS) in which the online learner is only allowed to maintain a classifier involved a small and fixed number of features. The key challenge of Online Feature Selection is how to make accurate prediction using a small and fixed number of active features. …

A Non-Parametric Visual-Sense Model Of Images: Extending The Cluster Hypothesis Beyond Text, Kong-Wah Wan, Ah-Hwee Tan, Joo-Hwee Lim, Liang-Tien Chia
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The main challenge of a search engine is to find information that are relevant and appropriate. However, this can become difficult when queries are issued using ambiguous words. Rijsbergen first hypothesized a clustering approach for web pages wherein closely associated pages are treated as a semantic group with the same relevance to the query (Rijsbergen 1979). In this paper, we extend Rijsbergen’s cluster hypothesis to multimedia content such as images. Given a user query, the polysemy in the return image set is related to the many possible meanings of the query. We develop a method to cluster the polysemous images …
Shortest Path Computation With No Information Leakage, Kyriakos Mouratidis, Man Lung Yiu
Shortest Path Computation With No Information Leakage, Kyriakos Mouratidis, Man Lung Yiu
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Shortest path computation is one of the most common queries in location-based services (LBSs). Although particularly useful, such queries raise serious privacy concerns. Exposing to a (potentially untrusted) LBS the client’s position and her destination may reveal personal information, such as social habits, health condition, shopping preferences, lifestyle choices, etc. The only existing method for privacy-preserving shortest path computation follows the obfuscation paradigm; it prevents the LBS from inferring the source and destination of the query with a probability higher than a threshold. This implies, however, that the LBS still deduces some information (albeit not exact) about the client’s location …
A Secure And Efficient Discovery Service System In Epcglobal Network, Jie Shi, Yingjiu Li, Robert H. Deng
A Secure And Efficient Discovery Service System In Epcglobal Network, Jie Shi, Yingjiu Li, Robert H. Deng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In recent years, the Internet of Things (IOT) has drawn considerable attention from the industrial and research communities. Due to the vast amount of data generated through IOT devices and users, there is an urgent need for an effective search engine to help us make sense of this massive amount of data. With this motivation, we begin our initial works on developing a secure and efficient search engine (SecDS) based on EPC Discovery Services (EPCDS) for EPCglobal network, an integral part of IOT. SecDS is designed to provide a bridge between different partners of supply chains to share information while …

Modeling Concept Dynamics For Large Scale Music Search, Jialie Shen, Hwee Hwa Pang, Meng Wang, Shuicheng Yan
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Continuing advances in data storage and communication technologies have led to an explosive growth in digital music collections. To cope with their increasing scale, we need effective Music Information Retrieval (MIR) capabilities like tagging, concept search and clustering. Integral to MIR is a framework for modelling music documents and generating discriminative signatures for them. In this paper, we introduce a multimodal, layered learning framework called DMCM. Distinguished from the existing approaches that encode music as an ensemble of order-less feature vectors, our framework extracts from each music document a variety of acoustic features, and translates them into low-level encodings over …
Data Mining Of Protein Databases, Christopher Assi
Data Mining Of Protein Databases, Christopher Assi
School of Computing: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Data mining of protein databases poses special challenges because many protein databases are non-relational whereas most data mining and machine learning algorithms assume the input data to be a relational database. Protein databases are non-relational mainly because they often contain set data types. We developed new data mining algorithms that can restructure non-relational protein databases so that they become relational and amenable for various data mining and machine learning tools. We applied the new restructuring algorithms to a pancreatic protein database. After the restructuring, we also applied two classification methods, such as decision tree and SVM classifiers and compared their …

Prosody-Based Query-By-Example Spoken Utterance Retrieval, Steven D. Werner, Nigel G. Ward
Prosody-Based Query-By-Example Spoken Utterance Retrieval, Steven D. Werner, Nigel G. Ward
COURI Symposium Abstracts, Summer 2012
Current spoken dialogue retrieval systems are almost entirely lexically based, using automatic transcription by imperfect speech recognition technology. Once audio is reduced to text, little more than existing text search methods are used to retrieve results. However, spoken dialogue contains rich latent prosodic information about dialogue activities - such as agreeing, arguing, deciding, planning, storytelling, showing surprise - and this extra information can often be relevant to the searchers aims. Searching for similar speech acts rather then similar words enables similar contextual results, returning points where the speaker had the same sentiment during a topic. Previous research yielded 76 dimensions …
The Latent Maximum Entropy Principle, Shaojun Wang, Dale Schuurmans, Yunxin Zhao
The Latent Maximum Entropy Principle, Shaojun Wang, Dale Schuurmans, Yunxin Zhao
Kno.e.sis Publications
We present an extension to Jaynes’ maximum entropy principle that incorporates latent variables. The principle of latent maximum entropy we propose is different from both Jaynes’ maximum entropy principle and maximum likelihood estimation, but can yield better estimates in the presence of hidden variables and limited training data. We first show that solving for a latent maximum entropy model poses a hard nonlinear constrained optimization problem in general. However, we then show that feasible solutions to this problem can be obtained efficiently for the special case of log-linear models---which forms the basis for an efficient approximation to the latent maximum …

We used data from a convenience sample of 410 Midwestern United States students from six secondary schools to develop parsimonious models for explaining and predicting precautions and illness related to influenza. Scores for knowledge and perceptions were obtained using two-parameter Item Response Theory (IRT) models. Relationships between outcome variables and predictors were verified using Pearson and Spearman correlations, and nested [student within school] fixed effects multinomial logistic regression models were specified from these using Akaike’s Information Criterion (AIC). Neural network models were then formulated as classifiers using 10-fold cross validation to predict precautions and illness. Perceived barriers against taking precautions …

Information is important for the executive and legislative functions of local officials. The study determined the institutional and individual factors that contributed in sustaining a Barangay Management Information System (BMIS). The study was done in five provinces covering 90 randomly selected continuing barangays and 68 randomly selected non-continuing barangays. Chi-square Test of Independence was used to determine factors associated with whether the barangay will continue to sustain BMIS or not. Logistic regression analysis was also performed to determine factors that may influence barangay's decision to sustain BMIS. The identified significant individual factors that influenced the barangays' decision to sustain BMIS …

Twitter has enjoyed tremendous popularity in the recent years. To help categorizing and search tweets, Twitter users assign hashtags to their tweets. Given that hashtag assignment is the primary way to semantically categorizing and search tweets, it is highly susceptible to abuse by spammers and other anomalous users [1]. Popular hashtags such as #Obama and #ladygaga could be hijacked by having them added to unrelated tweets with the intent of misleading many other users or promoting specific agenda to the users. The users performing this act are known as the hashtag hijackers. As the hijackers usually abuse common sets of …

Twitter is a popular online social information network service which allows people to read and post messages up to 140 characters, known as “tweets”. In this paper, we focus on the tweets between pairs of individuals, i.e., the tweet replies, and propose a generative model to discover topics among groups of twitter users. Our model has then been evaluated with a tweet dataset to show its effectiveness.

Adaptive Cgf For Pilots Training In Air Combat Simulation, Teck-Hou Teng, Ah-Hwee Tan, Wee-Sze Ong, Kien-Lip Lee
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Training of combat fighter pilots is often conducted using either human opponents or non-adaptive computer-generated force (CGF) inserted with the doctrine for conducting air combat mission. The novelty and challenges of such non-adaptive doctrine-driven CGF is often lost quickly. Incorporating more complex knowledge manually is known to be tedious and time-consuming. Therefore, a study of using adaptive CGF to learn from the real-time interactions with human pilots to extend the existing doctrine is conducted in this work. The goal of this study is to show how an adaptive CGF can be more effective than a non-adaptive doctrine-driven CGF for simulator-based …
On-Line Portfolio Selection With Moving Average Reversion, Bin Li, Steven C. H. Hoi
On-Line Portfolio Selection With Moving Average Reversion, Bin Li, Steven C. H. Hoi
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
On-line portfolio selection has attracted increasing interests in machine learning and AI communities recently. Empirical evidences show that stock's high and low prices are temporary and stock price relatives are likely to follow the mean reversion phenomenon. While the existing mean reversion strategies are shown to achieve good empirical performance on many real datasets, they often make the single-period mean reversion assumption, which is not always satisfied in some real datasets, leading to poor performance when the assumption does not hold. To overcome the limitation, this article proposes a multiple-period mean reversion, or so-called Moving Average Reversion (MAR), and a …

Formal Analysis Of Pervasive Computing Systems, Yan Liu, Xian Zhang, Jin Song Dong, Yang Liu, Jun Sun, Jit Biswas, Mounir Mokhtari
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Pervasive computing systems are heterogenous and complex as they usually involve human activities, various sensors and actuators as well as middleware for system controlling. Therefore, analyzing such systems is highly nontrivial. In this work, we propose to use formal methods for analyzing pervasive computing systems. Firstly, a formal modeling framework is proposed to cover the main characteristics of pervasive computing systems (e.g., context-awareness, concurrent communications, layered architectures). Secondly, we identify the safety requirements (e.g., free of deadlocks and conflicts etc.) and propose their specifications as safety and liveness properties. Finally, we demonstrate our ideas using a case study of a …

Information-Theoretic Multi-View Domain Adaptation, Pei Yang, Wei Gao, Qi Tan, Kam-Fai Wong
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
We use multiple views for cross-domain document classification. The main idea is to strengthen the views’ consistency for target data with source training data by identifying the correlations of domain-specific features from different domains. We present an Information-theoretic Multi-view Adaptation Model (IMAM) based on a multi-way clustering scheme, where word and link clusters can draw together seemingly unrelated domain-specific features from both sides and iteratively boost the consistency between document clusterings based on word and link views. Experiments show that IMAM significantly outperforms state-of-the-art baselines.

A common problem in large Urban cities, of the sort seen in Asia, is the huge number of retail options available in the city. In particular, it is not uncommon to find multiple malls, each with hundreds of stores inside, just a short distance from each other in almost every part of these cities. These factors make it incredibly hard for consumers to identify stores of interest to them in any particular mall.In response, a number of shopping assistance applications have been created for mobile phones.However, these applications mostly just allow users to know which stores are where or to …

Kernel methods have been successfully applied to many machine learning problems. Nevertheless, since the performance of kernel methods depends heavily on the type of kernels being used, identifying good kernels among a set of given kernels is important to the success of kernel methods. A straightforward approach to address this problem is cross-validation by training a separate classifier for each kernel and choosing the best kernel classifier out of them. Another approach is Multiple Kernel Learning (MKL), which aims to learn a single kernel classifier from an optimal combination of multiple kernels. However, both approaches suffer from a high computational …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Kernel-based online learning has often shown state-of-the-art performance for many online learning tasks. It, however, suffers from a major shortcoming, that is, the unbounded number of support vectors, making it non-scalable and unsuitable for applications with large-scale datasets. In this work, we study the problem of bounded kernel-based online learning that aims to constrain the number of support vectors by a predefined budget. Although several algorithms have been proposed in literature, they are neither computationally efficient due to their intensive budget maintenance strategy nor effective due to the use of simple Perceptron algorithm. To overcome these limitations, we propose a …
