An Intelligent Trust Cloud Management Method for Secure Clustering in 5G enabled Internet of Medical Things
Yang, Liu, Yu, Keping, Yang, Simon X., Chakraborty, Chinmay, Lu, Yinzhi, Guo, Tan
5G edge computing enabled Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is an efficient technology to provide decentralized medical services while Device-to-device (D2D) communication is a promising paradigm for future 5G networks. To assure secure and reliable communication in 5G edge computing and D2D enabled IoMT systems, this paper presents an intelligent trust cloud management method. Firstly, an active training mechanism is proposed to construct the standard trust clouds. Secondly, individual trust clouds of the IoMT devices can be established through fuzzy trust inferring and recommending. Thirdly, a trust classification scheme is proposed to determine whether an IoMT device is malicious. Finally, a trust cloud update mechanism is presented to make the proposed trust management method adaptive and intelligent under an open wireless medium. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method can effectively address the trust uncertainty issue and improve the detection accuracy of malicious devices.
Revealing the CO2 emission reduction of ridesplitting and its determinants based on real-world data
Li, Wenxiang, Li, Yuanyuan, Pu, Ziyuan, Cheng, Long, Wang, Lei, Yang, Linchuan
Ridesplitting, which is a form of pooled ridesourcing service, has great potential to alleviate the negative impacts of ridesourcing on the environment. However, most existing studies only explored its theoretical environmental benefits based on optimization models and simulations. By contrast, this study aims to reveal the real-world emission reduction of ridesplitting and its determinants based on the observed data of ridesourcing in Chengdu, China. Integrating the trip data with the COPERT model, this study calculates the CO2 emissions of shared rides (ridesplitting) and their substituted single rides (regular ridesourcing) to estimate the CO2 emission reduction of each ridesplitting trip. The results show that not all ridesplitting trips reduce emissions from ridesourcing in the real world. The CO2 emission reduction rate of ridesplitting varies from trip to trip, averaging at 43.15g/km. Then, interpretable machine learning models, gradient boosting machines, are applied to explore the relationship between the CO2 emission reduction rate of ridesplitting and its determinants. Based on the SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) method, the overlap rate and detour rate of shared rides are identified to be the most important factors that determine the CO2 emission reduction rate of ridesplitting. Increasing the overlap rate, the number of shared rides, average speed, and ride distance ratio while decreasing the detour rate, actual trip distance, and ride distance gap can increase the CO2 emission reduction rate of ridesplitting. In addition, nonlinear effects and interactions of the determinants are examined through the partial dependence plots. To sum up, this study provides a scientific method for the government and ridesourcing companies to better assess and optimize the environmental benefits of ridesplitting.
A density peaks clustering algorithm with sparse search and K-d tree
Shan, Yunxiao, Li, Shu, Li, Fuxiang, Cui, Yuxin, Li, Shuai, Zhou, Ming, Li, Xiang
Density peaks clustering has become a nova of clustering algorithm because of its simplicity and practicality. However, there is one main drawback: it is time-consuming due to its high computational complexity. Herein, a density peaks clustering algorithm with sparse search and K-d tree is developed to solve this problem. Firstly, a sparse distance matrix is calculated by using K-d tree to replace the original full rank distance matrix, so as to accelerate the calculation of local density. Secondly, a sparse search strategy is proposed to accelerate the computation of relative-separation with the intersection between the set of $k$ nearest neighbors and the set consisting of the data points with larger local density for any data point. Furthermore, a second-order difference method for decision values is adopted to determine the cluster centers adaptively. Finally, experiments are carried out on datasets with different distribution characteristics, by comparing with other six state-of-the-art clustering algorithms. It is proved that the algorithm can effectively reduce the computational complexity of the original DPC from $O(n^2K)$ to $O(n(n^{1-1/K}+k))$. Especially for larger datasets, the efficiency is elevated more remarkably. Moreover, the clustering accuracy is also improved to a certain extent. Therefore, it can be concluded that the overall performance of the newly proposed algorithm is excellent.
GOAL: Towards Benchmarking Few-Shot Sports Game Summarization
Wang, Jiaan, Zhang, Tingyi, Shi, Haoxiang
Sports game summarization aims to generate sports news based on real-time commentaries. The task has attracted wide research attention but is still under-explored probably due to the lack of corresponding English datasets. Therefore, in this paper, we release GOAL, the first English sports game summarization dataset. Specifically, there are 103 commentary-news pairs in GOAL, where the average lengths of commentaries and news are 2724.9 and 476.3 words, respectively. Moreover, to support the research in the semi-supervised setting, GOAL additionally provides 2,160 unlabeled commentary documents. Based on our GOAL, we build and evaluate several baselines, including extractive and abstractive baselines. The experimental results show the challenges of this task still remain. We hope our work could promote the research of sports game summarization. The dataset has been released at https://github.com/krystalan/goal.
Why do tree-based models still outperform deep learning on tabular data?
Grinsztajn, Léo, Oyallon, Edouard, Varoquaux, Gaël
While deep learning has enabled tremendous progress on text and image datasets, its superiority on tabular data is not clear. We contribute extensive benchmarks of standard and novel deep learning methods as well as tree-based models such as XGBoost and Random Forests, across a large number of datasets and hyperparameter combinations. We define a standard set of 45 datasets from varied domains with clear characteristics of tabular data and a benchmarking methodology accounting for both fitting models and finding good hyperparameters. Results show that tree-based models remain state-of-the-art on medium-sized data ($\sim$10K samples) even without accounting for their superior speed. To understand this gap, we conduct an empirical investigation into the differing inductive biases of tree-based models and Neural Networks (NNs). This leads to a series of challenges which should guide researchers aiming to build tabular-specific NNs: 1. be robust to uninformative features, 2. preserve the orientation of the data, and 3. be able to easily learn irregular functions. To stimulate research on tabular architectures, we contribute a standard benchmark and raw data for baselines: every point of a 20 000 compute hours hyperparameter search for each learner.
Towards a General Pre-training Framework for Adaptive Learning in MOOCs
Zhong, Qingyang, Yu, Jifan, Zhang, Zheyuan, Mao, Yiming, Wang, Yuquan, Lin, Yankai, Hou, Lei, Li, Juanzi, Tang, Jie
Adaptive learning aims to stimulate and meet the needs of individual learners, which requires sophisticated system-level coordination of diverse tasks, including modeling learning resources, estimating student states, and making personalized recommendations. Existing deep learning methods have achieved great success over statistical models; however, they still lack generalization for diverse tasks and suffer from insufficient capacity since they are composed of highly-coupled task-specific architectures and rely on small-scale, coarse-grained recommendation scenarios. To realize the idea of general adaptive systems proposed in pedagogical theory, with the emerging pre-training techniques in NLP, we try to conduct a practical exploration on applying pre-training to adaptive learning, to propose a unified framework based on data observation and learning style analysis, properly leveraging heterogeneous learning elements. Through a series of downstream tasks of Learning Recommendation, Learning Resource Evaluation, Knowledge Tracing, and Dropout Prediction, we find that course structures, text, and knowledge are helpful for modeling and inherently coherent to student non-sequential learning behaviors and that indirectly relevant information included in the pre-training foundation can be shared across downstream tasks to facilitate effectiveness. We finally build a simplified systematic application of adaptive learning and reflect on the insights brought back to pedagogy. The source code and dataset will be released.
Human Brains Can't Detect Fake News: A Neuro-Cognitive Study of Textual Disinformation Susceptibility
Arisoy, Cagri, Mandal, Anuradha, Saxena, Nitesh
The spread of digital disinformation (aka "fake news") is arguably one of the most significant threats on the Internet which can cause individual and societal harm of large scales. The susceptibility to fake news attacks hinges on whether Internet users perceive a fake news article/snippet to be legitimate after reading it. In this paper, we attempt to garner an in-depth understanding of users' susceptibility to text-centric fake news attacks via a neuro-cognitive methodology. We investigate the neural underpinnings relevant to fake/real news through EEG. We run an experiment with human users to pursue a thorough investigation of users' perception and cognitive processing of fake/real news. We analyze the neural activity associated with the fake/real news detection task for different categories of news articles. Our results show there may be no statistically significant or automatically inferable differences in the way the human brain processes the fake vs. real news, while marked differences are observed when people are subject to (real/fake) news vs. resting state and even between some different categories of fake news. This neuro-cognitive finding may help to justify users' susceptibility to fake news attacks, as also confirmed from the behavioral analysis. In other words, the fake news articles may seem almost indistinguishable from the real news articles in both behavioral and neural domains. Our work serves to dissect the fundamental neural phenomena underlying fake news attacks and explains users' susceptibility to these attacks through the limits of human biology. We believe this could be a notable insight for the researchers and practitioners suggesting the human detection of fake news might be ineffective, which may also have an adverse impact on the design of automated detection approaches that crucially rely upon human labeling of text articles for building training models
RESAM: Requirements Elicitation and Specification for Deep-Learning Anomaly Models with Applications to UAV Flight Controllers
Islam, Md Nafee Al, Ma, Yihong, Granadeno, Pedro Alarcon, Chawla, Nitesh, Cleland-Huang, Jane
CyberPhysical systems (CPS) must be closely monitored to identify and potentially mitigate emergent problems that arise during their routine operations. However, the multivariate time-series data which they typically produce can be complex to understand and analyze. While formal product documentation often provides example data plots with diagnostic suggestions, the sheer diversity of attributes, critical thresholds, and data interactions can be overwhelming to non-experts who subsequently seek help from discussion forums to interpret their data logs. Deep learning models, such as Long Short-term memory (LSTM) networks can be used to automate these tasks and to provide clear explanations of diverse anomalies detected in real-time multivariate data-streams. In this paper we present RESAM, a requirements process that integrates knowledge from domain experts, discussion forums, and formal product documentation, to discover and specify requirements and design definitions in the form of time-series attributes that contribute to the construction of effective deep learning anomaly detectors. We present a case-study based on a flight control system for small Uncrewed Aerial Systems and demonstrate that its use guides the construction of effective anomaly detection models whilst also providing underlying support for explainability. RESAM is relevant to domains in which open or closed online forums provide discussion support for log analysis.
Explainable Deep Belief Network based Auto encoder using novel Extended Garson Algorithm
Kumar, Satyam, Ravi, Vadlamani
The most difficult task in machine learning is to interpret trained shallow neural networks. Deep neural networks (DNNs) provide impressive results on a larger number of tasks, but it is generally still unclear how decisions are made by such a trained deep neural network. Providing feature importance is the most important and popular interpretation technique used in shallow and deep neural networks. In this paper, we develop an algorithm extending the idea of Garson Algorithm to explain Deep Belief Network based Auto-encoder (DBNA). It is used to determine the contribution of each input feature in the DBN. It can be used for any kind of neural network with many hidden layers. The effectiveness of this method is tested on both classification and regression datasets taken from literature. Important features identified by this method are compared against those obtained by Wald chi square (\c{hi}2). For 2 out of 4 classification datasets and 2 out of 5 regression datasets, our proposed methodology resulted in the identification of better-quality features leading to statistically more significant results vis-\`a-vis Wald \c{hi}2.
