  <description><![CDATA[While deep learning has made historic improvements in speech recognition and object recognition in recent years, almost all of these gains have been in supervised learning of now fairly well understood discriminative models. In the larger context of machine learning, less is understood about both unsupervised and generative models, but Generative Adversarial Networks have emerged as a promising approach to making progress in that direction.

Data exfilteration is the unauthorized leakage of confidential data from a particular system.  It is a specific form of intrusion that is particularly hard to catch due to the most common cause: an insider entity who is responsible for the leak. That entity could be a person employed in the organization or a malicious hardware component bought from an unreliable third party. Catching such intrusions, therefore, can be extremely difficult.

  <description><![CDATA[In this work we describe an approach to distinguish real and impostor/ compromised accounts on social media. Compromising a user's social media account is not only a breach of security, but can also lead to dissemination of misinformation at a fast pace on social media. There have been several such high profile attacks recently, including on Twitter feeds of AP, CBS, and Delta Airlines. A fake account for the Prime Minister's Office in India was used to spread malicious rumors last year. Our ...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[The World Wide Web differed from other early hypertext systems in the removal of "back links" (the ability of a hyperlinked object to link back to a referring resource). The removal of back links allowed the scalability inherent in the Web's design, but sacrificed the knowledge necessary to update links when content moved. Persistent URLs (PURLs) have been used on the Web since 1995 to provide an inexpensive and partial solution to link updates via HTTP redirection: PURLs do not change thei...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[MS Thesis Defense


Social media websites like Twitter, Flickr and YouTube generate a high volume of user generated content as a major event occurs. Our goal is to automatically determine as accurately as possible when an event starts and when it ends by analyzing the content of social media data. Estimating these temporal boundaries segments the event-related data into three major phases: the buildup to the event, the event itself, and the post-event effects and repercussions.

Service providers and enterprise administrators can deploy systems incorporating activity and relations context to enhance the user experience, but this raises considerable collaboration, trust and privacy issues between different service providers. Our work is an initial step toward enabling devices themselves to represent, acquire and use a richer notion of context th...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Regarding information technology (IT) artifacts as services delivered to the end user (XaaS) is a paradigm shift that is fast changing the way management looks at the role of IT within an organization.  IT Service development and maintenance which was in the past regarded as an integral part of an organization, has been outsourced or off shored by most companies to external consultants who provide onsite or hosted services. This outsourcing model is now being replaced by a new delivery model ...]]></description>

The Healthcare industry anticipates a growing need to audit substance use disorder patient data, commonly referred to as Part 2 data, having been shared without a release of information signed by the patient. To address this need, we developed and evaluated a novel methodology to detect Part 2 data e...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Forcing all communicating agents to share a common ontology is infeasible. A group of
people with similar interests usually has its own organizational schemes for documents. This
organization may be in the form of an ontology. Different agents may define very different
ontologies, and the semantics for the same terms may be very different in their ontologies. A
mapping from one agent's ontology to another agent's ontology is required to facilitate
communication between agents.
