Efficient Algorithms For Trajectory-Aware Mobile Crowdsourcing, Chung-Kyun Han

Dissertations and Theses Collection (Open Access)

Mobile crowdsourcing, a subclass of crowdsourcing dealing with location-specific tasks, is prevalent in our daily life. From sensing urban environment such as noise, air pollution to package delivery, various location-specific tasks are posted on mobile crowdsourcing platforms to tap on the pool of crowdsourced workers. Many digital platforms compete with each other to expand and retain their pool of crowdsourced workers. Comparing with the traditional workforce, crowdsourced workers do not dedicate their time to do tasks fully and have strong spatiotemporal preferences. The ignorance of crowdsourced workers’ mobility patterns and the lack of personalization would lead to crowdsourced workers’ exodus, …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Federated deep learning has been widely used in various fields. To protect data privacy, many privacy-preserving approaches have also been designed and implemented in various scenarios. However, existing works rarely consider a fundamental issue that the data shared by certain users (called irregular users) may be of low quality. Obviously, in a federated training process, data shared by many irregular users may impair the training accuracy, or worse, lead to the uselessness of the final model. In this paper, we propose PPFDL, a Privacy-Preserving Federated Deep Learning framework with irregular users. In specific, we design a novel solution to reduce …

Introduction: Multiple algorithms based on 12-lead ECG measurements have been proposed to identify the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) locations from which ventricular tachycardia (VT) and frequent premature ventricular complex (PVC) originate. However, a clinical-grade machine learning algorithm that automatically analyzes characteristics of 12-lead ECGs and predicts RVOT or LVOT origins of VT and PVC is not currently available. The effective ablation sites of RVOT and LVOT, confirmed by a successful ablation procedure, provide evidence to create RVOT and LVOT labels for the machine learning model.
