One of the important factors that make a search engine fast and accurate is a concise and duplicate free index. In order to remove duplicate and near-duplicate documents from the index, a search engine needs a swift and reliable duplicate…

In this vision paper, we propose a shift in perspective for improving the effectiveness of similarity search. Rather than focusing solely on enhancing the data quality, particularly machine learning-generated embeddings, we advocate for a…

The growing popularity of Machine Learning (ML) has led to its deployment in various sensitive domains, which has resulted in significant research focused on ML security and privacy. However, in some applications, such as Augmented/Virtual…

Web query log data contain information useful to research; however, release of such data can re-identify the search engine users issuing the queries. These privacy concerns go far beyond removing explicitly identifying information such as…

Consumption of REST services has become a popular means of invoking code provided by third parties, particularly in web applications. Nowadays programmers of web applications can choose TypeScript over JavaScript to benefit from static type…

Many applications that benefit from data offload to cloud services operate on private data. A now-long line of work has shown that, even when data is offloaded in an encrypted form, an adversary can learn sensitive information by analyzing…

Some complex problems, such as image tagging and natural language processing, are very challenging for computers, where even state-of-the-art technology is yet able to provide satisfactory accuracy. Therefore, rather than relying solely on…

Big data problems frequently require processing datasets in a streaming fashion, either because all data are available at once but collectively are larger than available memory or because the data intrinsically arrive one data point at a…

Record linkage is aimed at the accurate and efficient identification of records that represent the same entity within or across disparate databases. It is a fundamental task in data integration and increasingly required for accurate…

Cloud-based outsourced Location-based services have profound impacts on various aspects of people's lives but bring security concerns. Existing spatio-temporal data secure retrieval schemes have significant shortcomings regarding dynamic…

As one of the most important basic operations, matrix multiplication computation (MMC) has varieties of applications in the scientific and engineering community such as linear regression, k-nearest neighbor classification and biometric…

Everyday a huge amount of data is generated in Cloud Computing. The maintenance of this electronic data needs some extremely efficient services. There is a need to properly collect this data, check for its authenticity and develop proper…

Software vulnerabilities (SVs) have become a common, serious, and crucial concern to safety-critical security systems. That leads to significant progress in the use of AI-based methods for software vulnerability detection (SVD). In…

Semantic similarity based retrieval is playing an increasingly important role in many IR systems such as modern web search, question-answering, similar document retrieval etc. Improvements in retrieval of semantically similar content are…

In this paper, we describe the migration of a homebrewed C++ search engine to OpenSearch, aimed at preserving and improving search performance with minimal impact on business metrics. To facilitate the migration, we froze our job corpus and…

Enabling search over encrypted cloud data is essential for privacy-preserving data outsourcing. While searchable encryption has evolved to support individual requirements like fuzzy matching, dynamic updates, and result verification,…

The tremendous expanse of search engines, dictionary and thesaurus storage, and other text mining applications, combined with the popularity of readily available scanning devices and optical character recognition tools, has necessitated…

The enforcement of sensitive policies in untrusted environments is still an open challenge for policy-based systems. On the one hand, taking any appropriate security decision requires access to these policies. On the other hand, if such…

With the help of a shared pool of reconfigurable computing resources, clients of the cloud-based model can keep sensitive data remotely and access the apps and services it offers on-demand without having to worry about maintaining and…

In order to assist security analysts in obtaining information pertaining to their network, such as novel vulnerabilities, exploits, or patches, information retrieval methods tailored to the security domain are needed. As labeled text data…
