Static analysis is a powerful tool for detecting security vulnerabilities and other programming problems. Global taint tracking, in particular, can spot vulnerabilities arising from complicated data flow across multiple functions. However,…
We are interested in developing an automated system for detection of organized movements in human crowds. Computer vision algorithms can extract information from videos of crowded scenes and automatically detect and track groups of…
Email threat is a serious issue for enterprise security. The threat can be in various malicious forms, such as phishing, fraud, blackmail and malvertisement. The traditional anti-spam gateway often maintains a greylist to filter out…
Fake news travels at unprecedented speeds, reaches global audiences and puts users and communities at great risk via social media platforms. Deep learning based models show good performance when trained on large amounts of labeled data on…
In recent years, social media has become one of the most popular platforms for communication. These platforms allow users to report real-world incidents that might swiftly and widely circulate throughout the whole social network. A social…
Microblogs such as Twitter represent a powerful source of information. Part of this information can be aggregated beyond the level of individual posts. Some of this aggregated information is referring to events that could or should be acted…
The problem associated with the propagation of fake news continues to grow at an alarming scale. This trend has generated much interest from politics to academia and industry alike. We propose a framework that detects and classifies fake…
Identifying the salience (i.e. importance) of discourse units is an important task in language understanding. While events play important roles in text documents, little research exists on analyzing their saliency status. This paper…
In this paper, we investigate a class of information-flow security properties called opacity in partial-observed discrete-event systems. Roughly speaking, a system is said to be opaque if the intruder, which is modeled by a passive…
Monitoring network traffic data to detect any hidden patterns of anomalies is a challenging and time-consuming task that requires high computing resources. To this end, an appropriate summarization technique is of great importance, where it…
Cyberthreats are a permanent concern in our modern technological world. In the recent years, sophisticated traffic analysis techniques and anomaly detection (AD) algorithms have been employed to face the more and more subversive adversarial…
Urban imagery usually serves as forensic analysis and by design is available for incident mitigation. As more imagery collected, it is harder to narrow down to certain frames among thousands of video clips to a specific incident. A…
Upsurging abnormal activities in crowded locations such as airports, train stations, bus stops, shopping malls, etc., urges the necessity for an intelligent surveillance system. An intelligent surveillance system can differentiate between…
Auditing the information leakage of latent sensitive features during the transborder data flow has attracted sufficient attention from global digital regulators. However, there is missing a technical approach for the audit practice due to…
Federated learning (FL) has attracted increasing attention as a promising approach to driving a vast number of end devices with artificial intelligence. However, it is very challenging to guarantee the efficiency of FL considering the…
Artificial intelligence is an emerging topic and will soon be able to perform decisions better than humans. In more complex and creative contexts such as innovation, however, the question remains whether machines are superior to humans.…
At online retail platforms, it is crucial to actively detect the risks of transactions to improve customer experience and minimize financial loss. In this work, we propose xFraud, an explainable fraud transaction prediction framework which…
Algorithms of inference in a computer system oriented to input and semantic processing of text information are presented. Such inference is necessary for logical questions when the direct comparison of objects from a question and database…
Data fragmentation and dispersal over multiple clouds is a way of data protection against honest-but-curious storage or service providers. In this paper, we introduce a novel algorithm for data fragmentation that is particularly well…
People post information about different topics which are in their active vocabulary over social media platforms (like Twitter, Facebook, PInterest and Google+). They follow each other and it is more likely that the person who posts…
