Anonymous social networks present a number of new and challenging problems for existing Social Network Analysis techniques. Traditionally, existing methods for analysing graph structure, such as community detection, required global…
The use of supervised learning for Human Activity Recognition (HAR) on mobile devices leads to strong classification performances. Such an approach, however, requires large amounts of labeled data, both for the initial training of the…
Process mining employs event logs to provide insights into the actual processes. Event logs are recorded by information systems and contain valuable information helping organizations to improve their processes. However, these data also…
Data anonymization is an approach to privacy-preserving data release aimed at preventing participants reidentification, and it is an important alternative to differential privacy in applications that cannot tolerate noisy data. Existing…
Radar systems are mainly used for tracking aircraft, missiles, satellites, and watercraft. In many cases, information regarding the objects detected by the radar system is sent to, and used by, a peripheral consuming system, such as a…
The collection of security-related logs holds the key to understanding attack behaviors and diagnosing vulnerabilities. Still, their analysis remains a daunting challenge. Recently, Language Models (LMs) have demonstrated unmatched…
Computation offloading (often to external computing resources over a network) has become a necessity for modern applications. At the same time, the proliferation of machine learning techniques has empowered malicious actors to use such…
Process mining techniques enable analysts to identify and assess process improvement opportunities based on event logs. A common roadblock to process mining is that event logs may contain private information that cannot be used for analysis…
Anomaly detection in event logs is a promising approach for intrusion detection in enterprise networks. By building a statistical model of usual activity, it aims to detect multiple kinds of malicious behavior, including stealthy tactics,…
Current techniques for privacy auditing of large language models (LLMs) have limited efficacy -- they rely on basic approaches to generate canaries which leads to weak membership inference attacks that in turn give loose lower bounds on the…
We present an analytic provenance data repository that can be used to study human analysis activity, thought processes, and software interaction with visual analysis tools during exploratory data analysis. We conducted a series of user…
Automated analysis methods are crucial aids for monitoring and defending a network to protect the sensitive or confidential data it hosts. This work introduces a flexible, powerful, and unsupervised approach to detecting anomalous behavior…
Web search logs contain extremely sensitive data, as evidenced by the recent AOL incident. However, storing and analyzing search logs can be very useful for many purposes (i.e. investigating human behavior). Thus, an important research…
FLAIM (Framework for Log Anonymization and Information Management) addresses two important needs not well addressed by current log anonymizers. First, it is extremely modular and not tied to the specific log being anonymized. Second, it…
How can the stability and efficiency of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) be ensured through a systematic analysis method? This paper seeks to address that query. While numerous factors can influence the learning process of ANNs, utilizing…
