Visual patterns represent the discernible regularity in the visual world. They capture the essential nature of visual objects or scenes. Understanding and modeling visual patterns is a fundamental problem in visual recognition that has wide…

Although deceptive design patterns are subject to growing regulatory oversight, enforcement races to keep up with the scale of the problem. One promising solution is automated detection tools, many of which are developed within academia. We…

User behaviors on an e-commerce app not only contain different kinds of feedback on items but also sometimes imply the cognitive clue of the user's decision-making. For understanding the psychological procedure behind user decisions, we…

It is well-known that the process of developing machine learning (ML) workflows is a dark-art; even experts struggle to find an optimal workflow leading to a high accuracy model. Users currently rely on empirical trial-and-error to obtain…

In the age of social computing, finding interesting network patterns or motifs is significant and critical for various areas such as decision intelligence, intrusion detection, medical diagnosis, social network analysis, fake news…

The proliferation of misinformation and disinformation on social media networks has become increasingly concerning. With a significant portion of the population using social media on a regular basis, there are growing efforts by malicious…

User engagement with data privacy and security through consent banners has become a ubiquitous part of interacting with internet services. While previous work has addressed consent banners from either interaction design, legal, and…

Law-enforcement investigations aimed at preventing attacks by violent extremists have become increasingly important for public safety. The problem is exacerbated by the massive data volumes that need to be scanned to identify complex…

Fraudulent activities on digital banking services are becoming more intricate by the day, challenging existing defenses. While older rule driven methods struggle to keep pace, even precision focused algorithms fall short when new scams are…

We propose a robust classifier to predict buying intentions based on user behaviour within a large e-commerce website. In this work we compare traditional machine learning techniques with the most advanced deep learning approaches. We show…

This paper aimed to discover the risks associated with the dark web and to detect the threats related to human trafficking using image processing with OpenCV and Python. Apart from that, a development environment was set up by installing…

Dark patterns are ubiquitous in digital systems, impacting users throughout their journeys on many popular apps and websites. While substantial efforts from the research community in the last five years have led to consolidated taxonomies…

Dark patterns have emerged as a set of methods to exploit cognitive biases to trick users to make decisions that are more aligned with a third party than to their own. These patterns can have consequences that might range from inconvenience…

Credit card fraud has emerged as major problem in the electronic payment sector. In this survey, we study data-driven credit card fraud detection particularities and several machine learning methods to address each of its intricate…

The clandestine nature of covert networks makes reliable data difficult to obtain and leads to concerns with missing data. We explore the use of network models to represent missingness mechanisms. Exponential random graph models provide a…

With rise in security breaches over the past few years, there has been an increasing need to mine insights from social media platforms to raise alerts of possible attacks in an attempt to defend conflict during competition. In this study,…

The accelerated development of social media websites has posed intricate security issues in cyberspace, where these sites have increasingly become victims of criminal activities including attempts to intrude into them, abnormal traffic…

Detecting semantic backdoors in classification models--where some classes can be activated by certain natural, but out-of-distribution inputs--is an important problem that has received relatively little attention. Semantic backdoors are…

Discriminative pattern mining is a data mining task in which we find patterns that distinguish transactions in the class of interest from those in other classes, and is also called emerging pattern mining or subgroup discovery. One…

Most eCommerce applications, like web-shops have millions of products. In this context, the identification of similar products is a common sub-task, which can be utilized in the implementation of recommendation systems, product search…
