Petrophysical Studies On Woodford Shale In Oklahoma And Wolfcamp Shale In Texas: A Multiple-Approach Methodology, Chen Zhao May 2022

Petrophysical Studies On Woodford Shale In Oklahoma And Wolfcamp Shale In Texas: A Multiple-Approach Methodology, Chen Zhao

Earth & Environmental Sciences Dissertations

The successful development of oil and gas from unconventional reservoirs in the United States proves the high petroleum potential that shale rock reserves. Petrophysical studies on shale rocks are an important part of reservoir characterization. Petrophysical studies investigate the basic properties and pore structures of the shale rock, including porosity, density, pore size distribution, specific surface area, wettability, pore connectivity, and permeability, to understand the storage and movement of oil and gas in shale rocks. Multiple experimental approaches were applied onto both outcrop and well-core samples from several U.S. shale plays. A range of complementary methodologies of X-ray diffraction, polarized …

Part I: Synthesis Of Quinolones For Inhibition Of The Β-Barrel Assembly Machine In Gram Negative Bacteria; Part Ii: Synthesis Of Azo Dye Sensors For Detection Of Metal Ions In Aqueous Environments, Katryna Williams May 2022

Part I: Synthesis Of Quinolones For Inhibition Of The Β-Barrel Assembly Machine In Gram Negative Bacteria; Part Ii: Synthesis Of Azo Dye Sensors For Detection Of Metal Ions In Aqueous Environments, Katryna Williams

Theses and Dissertations

Part I: Antibiotic resistance in Gram-negative bacteria is a growing cause of concern worldwide. Thousands of people die from antibiotic resistant bacteria every year. The β-Barrel Assembly Machine (BAM) in Gram-negative bacteria plays a role in antibiotic resistance as its porin, BamA, can regulate which molecules enter the cell, meaning it can prevent antibiotics from entering the bacterial cell. BamA exists in an open and closed form and is only selective in its closed form. BamA opens and closes through the H-bonding of two intramolecular β-strands. It is theorized that the creation of a β-sheet mimetic, based on work done …

Sl-Cyclegan: Blind Motion Deblurring In Cycles Using Sparse Learning, Ali Syed Saqlain, Li-Yun Wang, Zhiyong Liu May 2022

Sl-Cyclegan: Blind Motion Deblurring In Cycles Using Sparse Learning, Ali Syed Saqlain, Li-Yun Wang, Zhiyong Liu

Computer Science Faculty Publications and Presentations

In this paper, we introduce an end-to-end generative adversarial network (GAN) based on sparse learning for single image motion deblurring, which we called SL-CycleGAN. For the first time in image motion deblurring, we propose a sparse ResNet-block as a combination of sparse convolution layers and a trainable spatial pooler k-winner based on HTM (Hierarchical Temporal Memory) to replace non-linearity such as ReLU in the ResNet-block of SL-CycleGAN generators. Furthermore, we take our inspiration from the domain-to-domain translation ability of the CycleGAN, and we show that image deblurring can be cycle-consistent while achieving the best qualitative results. Finally, we perform extensive …

For The Women Who Wear Pi Day Shirts, Jacqui Weaver May 2022

For The Women Who Wear Pi Day Shirts, Jacqui Weaver

Honors College

This project, entitled To The Women Who Wear Pi Day Shirts, is a poetry manuscript that explores a journey of a women in STEM. While taking college English courses, I read about characters such as the creature in Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley, who had intelligence, yet was physically hideous, an outsider from the human population. The creature was an outsider to the normal human, much like how I feel as a woman in STEM, which gave me the idea to write about my own journey. The poetry in this manuscript is a reflection from being in elementary school learning mathematics …

Utilizing Post-Newtonian Expansion To Determine Parameters Of Compact Binary Black Hole Mergers, Jarrod E. Rudis May 2022

Utilizing Post-Newtonian Expansion To Determine Parameters Of Compact Binary Black Hole Mergers, Jarrod E. Rudis

Honors College

The process of determining parameters of black hole mergers requires complicated formulae like the Einstein Field Equations (EFEs) that can only be solved numerically with the help of supercomputers. This paper sought to explore an alternative method to prediction of parameters through the use of 1st order Post-Newtonian Expansion (PNE), which is a way of approximating solutions to the EFEs. Two binary- black hole mergers, GW170814 and GW170809 were analyzed with the use of 1st order PNE to obtain the chirp mass and radiated energy parameters. These parameters were then compared with the parameters obtained using numerical solutions to the …

Tatl: Task Agnostic Transfer Learning For Skin Attributes Detection, Duy M.H. Nguyen, Thu T. Nguyen, Huong Vu, Hong Quang Pham, Manh-Duy Nguyen, Binh T. Nguyen, Daniel Sonntag May 2022

Tatl: Task Agnostic Transfer Learning For Skin Attributes Detection, Duy M.H. Nguyen, Thu T. Nguyen, Huong Vu, Hong Quang Pham, Manh-Duy Nguyen, Binh T. Nguyen, Daniel Sonntag

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Existing skin attributes detection methods usually initialize with a pre-trained Imagenet network and then fine-tune on a medical target task. However, we argue that such approaches are suboptimal because medical datasets are largely different from ImageNet and often contain limited training samples. In this work, we propose Task Agnostic Transfer Learning (TATL), a novel framework motivated by dermatologists’ behaviors in the skincare context. TATL learns an attribute-agnostic segmenter that detects lesion skin regions and then transfers this knowledge to a set of attribute-specific classifiers to detect each particular attribute. Since TATL’s attribute-agnostic segmenter only detects skin attribute regions, it enjoys …

Tourgether360: Exploring 360° Tour Videos With Others, Kartikaeya Kumar, Lev Poretski, Jiannan Li, Anthony Tang May 2022

Tourgether360: Exploring 360° Tour Videos With Others, Kartikaeya Kumar, Lev Poretski, Jiannan Li, Anthony Tang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Contemporary 360° video players do not provide ways to let people explore the videos together. Tourgether360 addresses this problem for 360° tour videos using a pseudo-spatial navigation technique that provides both an overhead “context” view of the environment as a minimap, as well as a shared pseudo-3D environment for exploring the video. Collaborators appear as avatars along a track depending on their position in the video timeline and can point and synchronize their playback. In this work, we describe the intellectual precedents for this work, our design goals, and our implementation approach of Tourgether360. Finally, we discuss future work based …

Learning Transferable Perturbations For Image Captioning, Hanjie Wu, Yongtuo Liu, Hongmin Cai, Shengfeng He May 2022

Learning Transferable Perturbations For Image Captioning, Hanjie Wu, Yongtuo Liu, Hongmin Cai, Shengfeng He

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Present studies have discovered that state-of-the-art deep learning models can be attacked by small but well-designed perturbations. Existing attack algorithms for the image captioning task is time-consuming, and their generated adversarial examples cannot transfer well to other models. To generate adversarial examples faster and stronger, we propose to learn the perturbations by a generative model that is governed by three novel loss functions. Image feature distortion loss is designed to maximize the encoded image feature distance between original images and the corresponding adversarial examples at the image domain, and local-global mismatching loss is introduced to separate the mapping encoding representation …

Sanitizable Access Control System For Secure Cloud Storage Against Malicious Data Publishers, Willy Susilo, Peng Jiang, Jianchang Lai, Fuchun Guo, Guomin Yang, Robert H. Deng May 2022

Sanitizable Access Control System For Secure Cloud Storage Against Malicious Data Publishers, Willy Susilo, Peng Jiang, Jianchang Lai, Fuchun Guo, Guomin Yang, Robert H. Deng

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Cloud computing is considered as one of the most prominent paradigms in the information technology industry, since it can significantly reduce the costs of hardware and software resources in computing infrastructure. This convenience has enabled corporations to efficiently use the cloud storage as a mechanism to share data among their employees. At the first sight, by merely storing the shared data as plaintext in the cloud storage and protect them using an appropriate access control would be a nice solution. This is assuming that the cloud is fully trusted for not leaking any information, which is impractical as the cloud …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

The transfer of power stemming from the 2020 presidential election occurred during an unprecedented period in United States history. Uncertainty from the COVID-19 pandemic, ongoing societal tensions, and a fragile economy increased societal polarization, exacerbated by the outgoing president's offline rhetoric. As a result, online groups such as QAnon engaged in extra political participation beyond the traditional platforms. This research explores the link between offline political speech and online extra-representational participation by examining Twitter within the context of the January 6 insurrection. Using a mixed-methods approach of quantitative and qualitative thematic analyses, the study combines offline speech information with Twitter …

Unified And Incremental Simrank: Index-Free Approximation With Scheduled Principle (Extended Abstract), Fanwei Zhu, Yuan Fang, Kai Zhang, Kevin Chen-Chuan Chang, Hongtai Cao, Zhen Jiang, Minghui Wu May 2022

Unified And Incremental Simrank: Index-Free Approximation With Scheduled Principle (Extended Abstract), Fanwei Zhu, Yuan Fang, Kai Zhang, Kevin Chen-Chuan Chang, Hongtai Cao, Zhen Jiang, Minghui Wu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

SimRank is a popular link-based similarity measure on graphs. It enables a variety of applications with different modes of querying. In this paper, we propose UISim, a unified and incremental framework for all SimRank modes based on a scheduled approximation principle. UISim processes queries with incremental and prioritized exploration of the entire computation space, and thus allows flexible tradeoff of time and accuracy. On the other hand, it creates and shares common “building blocks” for online computation without relying on indexes, and thus is efficient to handle both static and dynamic graphs. Our experiments on various real-world graphs show that …

Xai4fl: Enhancing Spectrum-Based Fault Localization With Explainable Artificial Intelligence, Ratnadira Widyasari, Gede Artha Azriadi Prana, Stefanus Agus Haryono, Yuan Tian, Hafil Noer Zachiary, David Lo

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Manually finding the program unit (e.g., class, method, or statement) responsible for a fault is tedious and time-consuming. To mitigate this problem, many fault localization techniques have been proposed. A popular family of such techniques is spectrum-based fault localization (SBFL), which takes program execution traces (spectra) of failed and passed test cases as input and applies a ranking formula to compute a suspiciousness score for each program unit. However, most existing SBFL techniques fail to consider two facts: 1) not all failed test cases contribute equally to a considered fault(s), and 2) program units collaboratively contribute to the failure/pass of …

Detecting False Alarms From Automatic Static Analysis Tools: How Far Are We?, Hong Jin Kang, Khai Loong Aw, David Lo

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Automatic static analysis tools (ASATs), such as Findbugs, have a high false alarm rate. The large number of false alarms produced poses a barrier to adoption. Researchers have proposed the use of machine learning to prune false alarms and present only actionable warnings to developers. The state-of-the-art study has identified a set of “Golden Features” based on metrics computed over the characteristics and history of the file, code, and warning. Recent studies show that machine learning using these features is extremely effective and that they achieve almost perfect performance. We perform a detailed analysis to better understand the strong performance …

An Exploratory Study On Code Attention In Bert, Rishab Sharma, Fuxiang Chen, Fatemeh H. Fard, David Lo

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Many recent models in software engineering introduced deep neural models based on the Transformer architecture or use transformerbased Pre-trained Language Models (PLM) trained on code. Although these models achieve the state of the arts results in many downstream tasks such as code summarization and bug detection, they are based on Transformer and PLM, which are mainly studied in the Natural Language Processing (NLP) field. The current studies rely on the reasoning and practices from NLP for these models in code, despite the differences between natural languages and programming languages. There is also limited literature on explaining how code is modeled. …

Learning Semantically Rich Network-Based Multi-Modal Mobile User Interface Embeddings, Meng Kiat Gary Ang, Ee-Peng Lim May 2022

Learning Semantically Rich Network-Based Multi-Modal Mobile User Interface Embeddings, Meng Kiat Gary Ang, Ee-Peng Lim

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Semantically rich information from multiple modalities - text, code, images, categorical and numerical data - co-exist in the user interface (UI) design of mobile applications. Moreover, each UI design is composed of inter-linked UI entities which support different functions of an application, e.g., a UI screen comprising a UI taskbar, a menu and multiple button elements. Existing UI representation learning methods unfortunately are not designed to capture multi-modal and linkage structure between UI entities. To support effective search and recommendation applications over mobile UIs, we need UI representations that integrate latent semantics present in both multi-modal information and linkages between …

Indoor Localization Using Solar Cells, Hamada Rizk, Dong Ma, Mahbub Hassan, Moustafa Youssef May 2022

Indoor Localization Using Solar Cells, Hamada Rizk, Dong Ma, Mahbub Hassan, Moustafa Youssef

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

The development of the Internet of Things (IoT) opens the doors for innovative solutions in indoor positioning systems. Recently, light-based positioning has attracted much attention due to the dense and pervasive nature of light sources (e.g., Light-emitting Diode lighting) in indoor environments. Nevertheless, most existing solutions necessitate carrying a high-end phone at hand in a specific orientation to detect the light intensity with the phone's light sensing capability (i.e., light sensor or camera). This limits the ease of deployment of these solutions and leads to drainage of the phone battery. We propose PVDeepLoc, a device-free light-based indoor localization system that …

Prompt For Extraction? Paie: Prompting Argument Interaction For Event Argument Extraction, Yubo Ma, Zehao Wang, Yixin Cao, Mukai Li, Meiqi Chen, Kun Wang, Jing Shao May 2022

Prompt For Extraction? Paie: Prompting Argument Interaction For Event Argument Extraction, Yubo Ma, Zehao Wang, Yixin Cao, Mukai Li, Meiqi Chen, Kun Wang, Jing Shao

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

In this paper, we propose an effective yet efficient model PAIE for both sentence-level and document-level Event Argument Extraction (EAE), which also generalizes well when there is a lack of training data. On the one hand, PAIE utilizes prompt tuning for extractive objectives to take the best advantages of Pre-trained Language Models (PLMs). It introduces two span selectors based on the prompt to select start/end tokens among input texts for each role. On the other hand, it captures argument interactions via multi-role prompts and conducts joint optimization with optimal span assignments via a bipartite matching loss. Also, with a flexible …

Neighbor-Anchoring Adversarial Graph Neural Networks (Extended Abstract), Zemin Liu, Yuan Fang, Yong Liu, Vincent W. Zheng May 2022

Neighbor-Anchoring Adversarial Graph Neural Networks (Extended Abstract), Zemin Liu, Yuan Fang, Yong Liu, Vincent W. Zheng

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

While graph neural networks (GNNs) exhibit strong discriminative power, they often fall short of learning the underlying node distribution for increased robustness. To deal with this, inspired by generative adversarial networks (GANs), we investigate the problem of adversarial learning on graph neural networks, and propose a novel framework named NAGNN (i.e., Neighbor-anchoring Adversarial Graph Neural Networks) for graph representation learning, which trains not only a discriminator but also a generator that compete with each other. In particular, we propose a novel neighbor-anchoring strategy, where the generator produces samples with explicit features and neighborhood structures anchored on a reference real node, …

Static Inference Meets Deep Learning: A Hybrid Type Inference Approach For Python, Yun Peng, Cuiyun Gao, Zongjie Li, Bowei Gao, David Lo, Qirun Zhang, Michael R. Lyu May 2022

Static Inference Meets Deep Learning: A Hybrid Type Inference Approach For Python, Yun Peng, Cuiyun Gao, Zongjie Li, Bowei Gao, David Lo, Qirun Zhang, Michael R. Lyu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Type inference for dynamic programming languages such as Python is an important yet challenging task. Static type inference techniques can precisely infer variables with enough static constraints but are unable to handle variables with dynamic features. Deep learning (DL) based approaches are feature-agnostic, but they cannot guarantee the correctness of the predicted types. Their performance significantly depends on the quality of the training data (i.e., DL models perform poorly on some common types that rarely appear in the training dataset). It is interesting to note that the static and DL-based approaches offer complementary benefits. Unfortunately, to our knowledge, precise type …

Automated Identification Of Libraries From Vulnerability Data: Can We Do Better?, Stefanus A. Haryono, Hong Jin Kang, Abhishek Sharma, Asankhaya Sharma, Andrew E. Santosa, Ming Yi Ang, David Lo

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Software engineers depend heavily on software libraries and have to update their dependencies once vulnerabilities are found in them. Software Composition Analysis (SCA) helps developers identify vulnerable libraries used by an application. A key challenge is the identification of libraries related to a given reported vulnerability in the National Vulnerability Database (NVD), which may not explicitly indicate the affected libraries. Recently, researchers have tried to address the problem of identifying the libraries from an NVD report by treating it as an extreme multi-label learning (XML) problem, characterized by its large number of possible labels and severe data sparsity. As input, …

Structure-Aware Visualization Retrieval, Haotian Li, Yong Wang, Wu Aoyu, Huan Wei, Huamin Qu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

With the wide usage of data visualizations, a huge number of Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG)-based visualizations have been created and shared online. Accordingly, there has been an increasing interest in exploring how to retrieve perceptually similar visualizations from a large corpus, since it can beneft various downstream applications such as visualization recommendation. Existing methods mainly focus on the visual appearance of visualizations by regarding them as bitmap images. However, the structural information intrinsically existing in SVG-based visualizations is ignored. Such structural information can delineate the spatial and hierarchical relationship among visual elements, and characterize visualizations thoroughly from a new perspective. …

Causality-Based Neural Network Repair, Bing Sun, Jun Sun, Long H. Pham, Jie Shi May 2022

Causality-Based Neural Network Repair, Bing Sun, Jun Sun, Long H. Pham, Jie Shi

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Neural networks have had discernible achievements in a wide range of applications. The wide-spread adoption also raises the concern of their dependability and reliability. Similar to traditional decision-making programs, neural networks can have defects that need to be repaired. The defects may cause unsafe behaviors, raise security concerns or unjust societal impacts. In this work, we address the problem of repairing a neural network for desirable properties such as fairness and the absence of backdoor. The goal is to construct a neural network that satisfies the property by (minimally) adjusting the given neural network's parameters (i.e., weights). Specifically, we propose …

Does This Apply To Me? An Empirical Study Of Technical Context In Stack Overflow, Akalanka Galappaththi, Sarah Nadi, Christoph Treude

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Stack Overflow has become an essential technical resource for developers. However, given the vast amount of knowledge available on Stack Overflow, finding the right information that is relevant for a given task is still challenging, especially when a developer is looking for a solution that applies to their specific requirements or technology stack. Clearly marking answers with their technical context, i.e., the information that characterizes the technologies and assumptions needed for this answer, is potentially one way to improve navigation. However, there is no information about how often such context is mentioned, and what kind of information it might offer. …

Learning Target Class Eigen Subspace (Ltc-Es) Via Eigen Knowledge Grid, Sanjay Kumar Sonbhadra, Sonali Agarwal, P. Nagabhushan May 2022

Learning Target Class Eigen Subspace (Ltc-Es) Via Eigen Knowledge Grid, Sanjay Kumar Sonbhadra, Sonali Agarwal, P. Nagabhushan

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In one-class classification (OCC) tasks, only the target class (class-of-interest (CoI)) samples are well defined during training, whereas the other class samples are totally absent. In OCC algorithms, the high dimensional data adds computational overhead apart from its intrinsic property of curse of dimensionality. For target class learning, conventional dimensionality reduction (DR) techniques are not suitable due to negligence of the unique statistical properties of CoI samples. In this context, the present research proposes a novel target class guided DR technique to extract the eigen knowledge grid that contains the most promising eigenvectors of variance-covariance matrix of CoI samples. In …

A New Effective Denoising Filter For High Density Impulse Noise Reduction, Iman Elawady, Caner Özcan

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Today, thanks to the rapid development of technology, the importance of digital images is increasing. However, sensor errors that may occur during the acquisition, interruptions in the transmission of images and errors in storage cause noise that degrades data quality. Salt and pepper noise, a common impulse noise, is one of the most well-known types of noise in digital images. This noise negatively affects the detailed analysis of the image. It is very important that pixels affected by noise are restored without loss of image fine details, especially at high level of noise density. Although many filtering algorithms have been …
