Optimized Cancer Detection On Various Magnified Histopathological Colon Imagesbased On Dwt Features And Fcm Clustering, Tina Babu, Tripty Singh, Deepa Gupta, Shahin Hameed Jan 2022

Optimized Cancer Detection On Various Magnified Histopathological Colon Imagesbased On Dwt Features And Fcm Clustering, Tina Babu, Tripty Singh, Deepa Gupta, Shahin Hameed

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Due to the morphological characteristics and other biological aspects in histopathological images, the computerized diagnosis of colon cancer in histopathology images has gained popularity. The images acquired using the histopathology microscope may differ for greater visibility by magnifications. This causes a change in morphological traits leading to intra and inter-observer variability. An automatic colon cancer diagnosis system for various magnification is therefore crucial. This work proposes a magnification independent segmentation approach based on the connected component area and double density dual tree DWT (discrete wavelet transform) coefficients are derived from the segmented region. The derived features are reduced further shortened …

Temporal Bagging: A New Method For Time-Based Ensemble Learning, Göksu Tüysüzoğlu, Derya Bi̇rant, Volkan Kiranoğlu Jan 2022

Temporal Bagging: A New Method For Time-Based Ensemble Learning, Göksu Tüysüzoğlu, Derya Bi̇rant, Volkan Kiranoğlu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

One of the main problems associated with the bagging technique in ensemble learning is its random sample selection in which all samples are treated with the same chance of being selected. However, in time-varying dynamic systems, the samples in the training set have not equal importance, where the recent samples contain more useful and accurate information than the former ones. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes a new time-based ensemble learning method, called temporal bagging (T-Bagging). The significant advantage of our method is that it assigns larger weights to more recent samples with respect to older ones, so it …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Passwords are pervasively used to authenticate users' identities in mobile apps. To secure passwords against attacks, protection is applied to the password authentication protocol (PAP). The implementation of the protection scheme becomes an important factor in protecting PAP against attacks. We focus on two basic protection in Android, i.e., SSL/TLS-based PAP and timestamp-based PAP. Previously, we proposed an automated tool, GLACIATE, to detect authentication flaws. We were curious whether orchestration (i.e., involving manual-effort) works better than automation. To answer this question, we propose an orchestrated approach, AUTHEXPLOIT and compare its effectiveness GLACIATE. We study requirements for correct implementation of PAP …

Correlating Automated And Human Evaluation Of Code Documentation Generation Quality, Xing Hu, Qiuyuan Chen, Haoye Wang, Xin Xia, David Lo, Thomas Zimmermann

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Automatic code documentation generation has been a crucial task in the field of software engineering. It not only relieves developers from writing code documentation but also helps them to understand programs better. Specifically, deep-learning-based techniques that leverage large-scale source code corpora have been widely used in code documentation generation. These works tend to use automatic metrics (such as BLEU, METEOR, ROUGE, CIDEr, and SPICE) to evaluate different models. These metrics compare generated documentation to reference texts by measuring the overlapping words. Unfortunately, there is no evidence demonstrating the correlation between these metrics and human judgment. We conduct experiments on two …

Authenticated Data Redaction With Accountability And Transparency, Jinhua Ma, Xinyi Huang, Yi Mu, Robert H. Deng Jan 2022

Authenticated Data Redaction With Accountability And Transparency, Jinhua Ma, Xinyi Huang, Yi Mu, Robert H. Deng

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

A common practice in data redaction is removing sensitive information prior to data publication or release. In data-driven applications, one must be convinced that the redacted data is still trustworthy. Meanwhile, the data redactor must be held accountable for (malicious) redaction, which could change/hide the meaning of the original data. Motivated by these concerns, we present a novel solution for authenticated data redaction based on a new Redactable Signature Scheme with Implicit Accountability (RSS - IA). In the event of a dispute, not only the original data signer but also the redactor can generate an evidence tag to unequivocally identify …

A Quantum Interpretation Of Separating Conjunction For Local Reasoning Of Quantum Programs Based On Separation Logic, Xuan Bach Le, Shang-Wei Lin, Jun Sun, David Sanan

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

It is well-known that quantum programs are not only complicated to design but also challenging to verify because the quantum states can have exponential size and require sophisticated mathematics to encode and manipulate. To tackle the state-space explosion problem for quantum reasoning, we propose a Hoare-style inference framework that supports local reasoning for quantum programs. By providing a quantum interpretation of the separating conjunction, we are able to infuse separation logic into our framework and apply local reasoning using a quantum frame rule that is similar to the classical frame rule. For evaluation, we apply our framework to verify various …

Delta Debugging Microservice Systems With Parallel Optimization, Xiang Zhou, Xin Peng, Tao Xie, Jun Sun, Chao Ji, Wenha Li, Dan Ding

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Microservice systems are complicated due to their runtime environments and service communications. Debugging a failure involves the deployment and manipulation of microservice systems on a containerized environment and faces unique challenges due to the high complexity and dynamism of microservices. To address these challenges, we propose a debugging approach for microservice systems based on the delta debugging algorithm, which is to minimize failure-inducing deltas of circumstances (e.g., deployment, environmental configurations). Our approach includes novel techniques for defining, deploying/manipulating, and executing deltas during delta debugging. In particular, to construct a (failing) circumstance space for delta debugging to minimize, our approach defines …

"More Than Deep Learning": Post-Processing For Api Sequence Recommendation, Chi Chen, Xin Peng, Bihuan Chen, Jun Sun, Zhenchang Xing, Xin Wang, Wenyun Zhao

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

In the daily development process, developers often need assistance in finding a sequence of APIs to accomplish their development tasks. Existing deep learning models, which have recently been developed for recommending one single API, can be adapted by using encoder-decoder models together with beam search to generate API sequence recommendations. However, the generated API sequence recommendations heavily rely on the probabilities of API suggestions at each decoding step, which do not take into account other domain-specific factors (e.g., whether an API suggestion satisfies the program syntax and how diverse the API sequence recommendations are). Moreover, it is difficult for developers …
