  <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.

While the concepts and technologies are mature and supported by sound standards, their use within scientific communities remains relatively low.

  <description><![CDATA[Ph.D. Dissertation Proposal

A question faced by semantic web developers is how much explicit semantics to include in their ontologies. A typical answer is that it depends on the use case, since different use cases demand different thicknesses for the semantic layer. This suggest several questions, including: What types of patterns in the rdf graph make a semantic layer &quot;thick&quot; or &quot;thin&quot;? What does it mean for an ontology to support a use case? and Can we create ontologi...]]></description>

A vast amount of information is encoded in tables on the web, spreadsheets and databases. Considerable work has been focused on exploiting unstructured free text; however techniques that are effective for documents and free text do not work well with tables. In this research we present techniques to generate high quality linked data from tables by jointly inferring the semantics of column headers, table cell values (e.g., strings and numbers), relations between ...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[In computer science, policies are rules and
constraints that govern the behavior of software agents. The use of
policies makes systems more flexible by separating the declarative
components of the system from its implementation. Policies are usually
expressed in a readable declarative language that can be understood by
a human. Policy based security model defines rules for access control,
authorization, and authentication of software objects and entities,
and can be greatly beneficia...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[RDF123 is an application and web service for converting data in simple spreadsheets to an RDF graph.  Users control how the spreadsheet's data is converted to RDF by constructing a graphical RDF123 template that specifies how each row in the spreadsheet is converted as well as metadata for the spreadsheet and its RDF translation.  The template can map spreadsheet cells to a new RDF node or to a literal value. Labels on the nodes in the map can be used to create blank nodes or labeled nodes, a...]]></description>

The roles of these factors, along with their interrelationship and interaction, make student mobility a complex decision-making issue. Many textual data generated on social media can answer many open questions about factors affecting human behavior, particularly social mobility. We have developed a novel methodology, called Textual Fuzzy Interpretive Structural Modeling (TFISM), that automatically analyses large textual dat...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Named Entity Recognition (NER) is a critical component of automated knowledge extraction. It allows Natural Language Processing (NLP) models to label instances of real-world entities that are important in the context of the text. To be able to accomplish this, the NLP model needs to be trained on large corpora of human-annotated text. There are examples of general, domain-agonistic text corpora available, but they are not suited for fields such as cybersecurity, that require domain-specific t...]]></description>

The data show that these governments are under constant or near‐constant cyberattack, yet, on average, they practice cybersecurity poorly. While nearly half reported experiencing cyberattacks at least daily, one‐third said that they did not know whether they were under attack, and nearly two‐thirds said that they did not know whether their information systems had been br...]]></description>

Topic modeling is an effective technique for summarizing a collection of documents to find the main themes among them and to classify other documents that have a similar mixture of co-occurring words. We show how grounding a topic model with an ontology, extracted from a glossary of important domain phrases,...]]></description>

By understanding this evolution, predicting the future direction of the discipline becomes more achievable. Dynamic Topic Modeling (DTM) has been applied to a number of disciplines to model topic evolution as a means to learn how a particular scientific discipline and its underlying concepts are changing.

  <description><![CDATA[One way of understanding the evolution of science within a particular scientific discipline is by studying the temporal influences that research publications had on that discipline. We provide a methodology for conducting such an analysis by employing cross-domain topic modeling and local cluster mappings of those publications with the historical texts to understand exactly when and how they influenced the discipline. We apply our method to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)...]]></description>

During the past decade, a "software agents" paradigm has emerged, which views agents as autonomous, cooperating processes that use expressive communication languages to exchange information and knowledge and to coordinate their activities. This has been seen as a way to capitalize on opportunities (and solve many problems) created by the Internet and the Web. Yet the technology has not yet left our laboratories.
