It takes skill to build a meaningful predictive model even with the abundance of implementations of modern machine learning algorithms and readily available computing resources. Building a model becomes challenging if hundreds of terabytes…
Recent model-based Recommender Systems (RecSys) algorithms emphasize on the use of features, also called side information, in their design similar to algorithms in Machine Learning (ML). In contrast, some of the most popular and traditional…
The size of a software artifact influences the software quality and impacts the development process. In industry, when software size exceeds certain thresholds, memory errors accumulate and development tools might not be able to cope…
Mobile apps offer significant benefits, but their privacy protections often remain ineffective and confusing for users. While prior work mainly analyzes app privacy vulnerabilities, few approaches help users understand, set, and enforce…
Previous work has investigated the particularities of security practices within specific user communities defined based on country of origin, age, prior tech abuse, and economic status. Their results highlight that current security…
Automated persuasion systems (APS) aim to persuade a user to believe something by entering into a dialogue in which arguments and counterarguments are exchanged. To maximize the probability that an APS is successful in persuading a user, it…
With ChatGPT-like large language models (LLM) prevailing in the community, how to evaluate the ability of LLMs is an open question. Existing evaluation methods suffer from following shortcomings: (1) constrained evaluation abilities, (2)…
Augmented-reality (AR) glasses that will have access to onboard sensors and an ability to display relevant information to the user present an opportunity to provide user assistance in quotidian tasks. Many such tasks can be characterized as…
The aim of this study is to demostrate that mobile phone usage data can be used to make predictions and find the best classification method for credit scoring even if the dataset is small (2,503 customers). We use different classification…
In modern computing environments, users may have multiple systems accessible to them such as local clusters, private clouds, or public clouds. This abundance of choices makes it difficult for users to select the system and configuration for…
