Medical reports have significant clinical value to radiologists and specialists, especially during a pandemic like COVID. However, beyond the common difficulties faced in the natural image captioning, medical report generation specifically requires the model to describe a medical image with a fine-grained and semantic-coherence paragraph that should satisfy both medical...
Fighting medical disinformation in the era of the pandemic is an increasingly important problem. Today, automatic systems for assessing the credibility of medical information do not offer sufficient precision, so human supervision and the involvement of medical expert annotators are required. Our work aims to optimize the utilization of medical experts’ time. We also equip them...
Because of a large number of vehicles in Internet of Vehicle(IoV), distributed nodes and complex driving environment, data security and certification speed are easily affected. Blockchain enables different devices that do not trust each other to work together, maintain the general state in the process of information dissemination and sharing, and protect the privacy of devices...
The partial evaluation and assembly framework has recently been applied for processing subgraph matching queries over large-scale knowledge graphs in the distributed environment. The framework is implemented on the master-slave architecture, endowed with outstanding scalability. However, there are two drawbacks of partial evaluation: if the volume of intermediate results is large...
Knowledge graph, as an extension of graph data structure, is being used in a wide range of areas as it can store interrelated data and reveal interlinked relationships between different objects within a large system. This paper proposes an algorithm to construct an access control knowledge graph from user and resource attributes. Furthermore, an online learning framework for...
Personalized decision-making can be implemented in a Federated learning (FL) framework that can collaboratively train a decision model by extracting knowledge across intelligent clients, e.g. smartphones or enterprises. FL can mitigate the data privacy risk of collaborative training since it merely collects local gradients from users without access to their data. However, FL is...
Online education brings more possibilities for personalized learning, in which identifying the cognitive state of learners is conducive to better providing learning services. Cognitive diagnosis is an effective measurement to assess the cognitive state of students through response data of answering the problems(e.g., right or wrong). Generally, the cognitive diagnosis framework...
Sequential recommendation is a stream of studies on recommender systems, which focuses on predicting the next item a user interacts with by modeling the dynamic sequence of user-item interactions. Since being born to explore the dynamic tendency of variable-length temporal sequence, Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) have been paid much attention in this area. However, the inherent...
Anomaly detection plays a crucial role in many Internet of Things (IoT) applications such as traffic anomaly detection for smart transportation and medical diagnosis for smart healthcare. With the explosion of IoT data, anomaly detection on data streams raises higher requirements for real-time response and strong robustness on large-scale data arriving at the same time and...
In modern days, making recommendation for news articles poses a great challenge due to vast amount of online information. However, providing personalized recommendations from news articles, which are the sources of condense textual information is not a trivial task. A recommendation system needs to understand both the textual information of a news article, and the user contexts...
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is one of the most common diseases in children. Due to the experience-requiring medical image analysis work, online automatic diagnosis of DDH has intrigued the researchers. Traditional implementation of online diagnosis faces challenges with reliability and interpretability. In this paper, we establish an online diagnosis tool based on a...
In recent years, with the rapid development of mobile applications, user check-in histories have been increasing. Successive point-of-interest (POI) recommendation has gained growing attention. Existing successive point-of-interest recommendation methods learn long- and short-term user preferences through historical check-in sequences to provide more personalized services...
We present a novel online decision-making solution, where the optimal path of a given decision tree is dynamically found based on the contextual bandits analysis. At each round, the learner finds a path in the decision tree by making a sequence of decisions following the tree structure and receives an outcome when a terminal node is reached. At each decision node, the environment...
In recent years, artificial intelligence technologies have been successfully applied in time series prediction and analytic tasks. At the same time, a lot of attention has been paid to financial time series prediction, which targets the development of novel deep learning models or optimize the forecasting results. To optimize the accuracy of stock price prediction, in this paper...
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are among the most severe threats in cyberspace. The existing methods are only designed to decide whether certain types of DDoS attacks are ongoing. As a result, they cannot detect other types of attacks, not to mention the even more challenging mixed DDoS attacks. In this paper, we comprehensively analyzed the characteristics of...
Tor is an open source software that allows accessing various kinds of resources, known as hidden services, while guaranteeing sender and receiver anonymity. Tor relies on a free, worldwide, overlay network, managed by volunteers, that works according to the principles of onion routing in which messages are encapsulated in layers of encryption, analogous to layers of an onion. The...
Clickbait is the use of an enticing title as bait to deceive users to click. However, the corresponding content is often disappointing, infuriating or even deceitful. This practice has brought serious damage to our social trust, especially to online media, which is one of the most important channels for information acquisition in our daily life. Currently, clickbait is spreading...
Every epidemic affects the real lives of many people around the world and leads to terrible consequences. Recently, many tweets about the COVID-19 pandemic have been shared publicly on social media platforms. The analysis of these tweets is helpful for emergency response organizations to prioritize their tasks and make better decisions. However, most of these tweets are non...
Online forumpost evaluationis an effective way for instructors to assess students’ knowledge understanding and writing mechanics. Manually evaluating massive posts costs a lot of time. Automatically grading online posts could significantly alleviate instructors’ burden. Similar text assessment tasks like Automated Text Scoring evaluate the writing quality of independent texts or...
Recommendation algorithms are data filtering tools that make use of algorithms and data to recommend the most relevant items to a particular user. The algorithm-driven recommenders become indispensable and supersede search engines as the most important information dissemination channel. On one hand, it becomes an integral component in the existing social media, e.g. Weibo...
