  • Communication efficient private set and database operations

    Creator:
    Garimella, Gayathri Annapurna
    Abstract:
    Secure Computation is a powerful tool that enables a set of parties to jointly compute any function over their private inputs, without a trusted third party. Private Set Intersection is a specific case of two-party Secure Computation, where Alice (with private set X) and Bob (with private set Y) specifically...

  • Empowering End Users to Mitigate Privacy and Security Risks in Smart-Home Trigger-Action Apps

    Creator:
    Saeidi, Mahsa
    Abstract:
    Many home users nowadays use various smart devices to improve the efficiency and convenience of their home environments. Trigger-action platforms such as “If-This-Then-That” (IFTTT) enable end users to connect different smart devices and services using simple apps to control these devices and automate the tasks (e.g., if the camera detects...

  • Explanations and Processes to Enable Humans to Assess AI with Respect to Manipulable Properties

    Creator:
    Dodge, Jonathan E.
    Abstract:
    Assessing AI systems is difficult. Humans rely on AI systems in increasing ways, both visible and invisible, meaning a variety of stakeholders need a variety of assessment tools (e.g., a professional auditor, a developer, and an end user all have different needs). We posit that it is possible to provide...

  • Source-Routed Multicast Schemes for Large-Scale Cloud Data Center Networks

    Creator:
    Alqahtani, Jarallah Ali m
    Abstract:
    Data centers (DCs) have been witnessing unprecedented growth in size, number and complexity in recent years. They consist of tens of thousands of servers interconnected by fast network switches, hosting and enabling numerous applications with various traffic characteristics and requirements. As a result, DC networks have been presented with several...

  • Analytical Methods for Improving Causal Inference

    Creator:
    Sinha, Meghamala
    Abstract:
    Causal inference is an important analytical tool to bridge the gap between prediction and decision-making. However, learning a causal network solely from data is a challenging task. In this work, various techniques have been explored for a better and improved causal network learning from data. Firstly, the problem of learning...

  • Computational Elucidation of the Regulatory SNPs in the Non-Coding Regions of the Human Genome

    Creator:
    Yao, Yao
    Abstract:
    We describe a series of novel computational models, CERENKOV (Computational Elucidation of the REgulatory NonKOding Variome) and its successors CERENKOV2, CERENKOV3, and Convolutional CERENKOV3, for discriminating regulatory single nucleotide polymorphisms (rSNPs) from non-regulatory SNPs within non-coding genetic loci. The CERENKOV models are designed for recognizing rSNPs in the context of...

  • Leveraging Structures of the Data in Deep Learning

    Creator:
    Li, Xingyi
    Abstract:
    The performance of deep learning frameworks could be significantly improved through considering the particular underlying structures for each dataset. In this thesis, I summarize our three work about boosting the performance of deep learning models through leveraging structures of the data. In the first work, we theoretically justify that, for...
