Special Topics in Natural Languague Processing: MWE Indentification, Opinion Question Answering and Summarization
(2020-05-22)Natural Language Processing (NLP) is the use of computers for the analysis of text. The approaches used to solve problems in NLP has transitioned from human tagging to statistical methods and currently many of the approaches ... -
SQL-based Approach To Significant Interval Discovery In Time-Series Data
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2007-08-23)With time-series data, events (like turning off a light, opening garage door, turning on TV) occur with a high degree of certainty not at specific time points but within time intervals (sequence of time points). So, it is ... -
STATEFUL DETECTION OF STEALTHY BEHAVIORS IN ANDROID APPS
(2017-08-08)The number of smartphones has increased greatly during the last few years. Among the popular mobile operating systems (such as iOS and Android) installed on these devices, Android captures most of the mobile market share. ... -
Stepping-stone Network Attack Kit (SNEAK) For Evading Timing-based Detection Methods Under The Cloak Of Constant Rate Multimedia Streams
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2008-09-17)With the advent of the Internet, network-based security threats have been constantly on the rise. The source of an attack could be traced by studying the system logs and the source IP address of the attack can be used to ... -
Stochastic Models For In-silico Event-based Biological Network Simulation
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2008-04-22)The multi-scale biological system model is a new research direction to capture the dynamic measurements of complex biological systems. The current statistical thermodynamic models can not scale to this challenge due to the ... -
