Polymorphic Adversarial DDoS attack on IDS using GAN
(2020-12-01)
IDS are essential components in preventing malicious traffic from penetrating networks. IDS have been rapidly enhancing their detection ability using ML algorithms. As a result, attackers look for new methods to evade the ...
Group representation learning for group recommendation
(2021-01-01)
Group recommender systems facilitate group decision making for a set of individuals (e.g., a group of friends, a team, a corporation, etc.). Existing group recommendation methods mostly learn group members' individual ...
Development and comparison of augmented and virtual reality interactions for direct ophthalmoscopy
(2020-10-01)
Direct ophthalmoscopy is a medical procedure whereby a health professional examines the back of the eye, searching for life-threatening risks. The direct ophthalmoscope is used for examining the patient and it requires ...
Empirically detecting colour: can we use solar cells as colour sensors?
(2021-08-01)
The purpose of this thesis was to explore the possibility of using solar cells as a colour sensor. Colour sensors already exist, yet they are either costly or fail at correctly sensing monochromatic light. Our experiment ...
Simulating a virtual drilling task using audio, visual, and mouse movement cues during the COVID-19 pandemic
(2021-04-01)
This work examined whether a real-world drilling task can be successfully simulated using combinations of appropriate audio, visual cues, and basic haptic stimuli obtained with mouse movements instead of a haptic device. ...
Enhanced knowledge distillation by auxiliary classifiers
(2021-08-01)
Deep neural models have shown promising results in various areas, e.g., computer vision and natural language processing, at the cost of high computation and storage resource consumption. These characteristics of deep neural ...
Automatic fall risk detection based on imbalanced data
(2021-08-01)
In recent years, the declining birthrate and ageing population have gradually brought countries into an ageing society. In regards to the accidents that occur amongst the elderly, falls are an important problem that quickly ...
Multi-character prediction using attention
(2020-01-01)
We propose a computational attention approach to localize and classify characters in a sequence in a given image. Our approach combines spatial soft-attention with attention regularization and learns “where-to-look” to ...
Brønsted Acid-Catalyzed Reactions of Vinylboronic Acids and Benzhydryl Alcohols
(2020-04-01)
The functionalization of benzhydryl alcohols is an approach to form important building blocks in organic synthesis. More specifically, the derivatization of benzhydryl alcohols to afford an alkene is a desired approach due ...
Forensic electrochemistry: time since deposition (TSD) estimation of degrading bloodstains using differential pulse voltammetry
(2021-12-01)
Methods for bloodstain time since deposition (TSD) estimation are still in development. Hemoglobin (Hb) oxidative changes remain one of the primary means of bloodstain aging. This research explores the use of differential ...
