Anomaly detection
Human in-the-loop learning
Outlier detection

description: Anomaly detection (AD) task corresponds to identifying the true anomalies among a given set of data instances. AD algorithms score the data instances and produce a ranked list of candidate anomalies. The ranked list of anomalies is then analyzed by a human to discover the true anomalies. However, AD systems are not practical when the number of false-positives is very high resulting in lot of wasted human effort. Therefore, in many real-world AD applications including computer security and fraud prevention, the anomaly detector must be configurable by the human analyst to minimize the effort on false positives. One important way to configure the detector is by providing true labels (nominal or anomaly) for a few instances by the analyst.
description: This dissertation builds on the recent work on human-in-the-loop methods for anomaly detection and makes the following contributions. First, we provide an important insight that explains the practical successes of unsupervised tree-based {\em local} AD ensembles and active learning based on greedy querying for anomaly discovery. Second, we exploit the inherent strengths of tree-based ensembles to discover diverse anomalies and for generating interpretations of discovered anomalies to improve the usability of human-in-the-loop anomaly detection systems. Third, we develop a novel active learning algorithm to handle the streaming data setting. We present a novel data drift detection algorithm that not only detects the drift robustly, but also allows us to take corrective actions to adapt the anomaly detector in a principled manner. Fourth, to support human analysts that use AD systems based on simple and explainable {\em global} anomaly detectors, we propose a novel human-in-the-loop learning algorithm that automatically learns their {\em local} relevance to specific data instances using label feedback. Finally, we apply the principles and algorithms from our active anomaly detection work to a challenging real-world application, namely, accurate detection of malware on Android over time.

Evolutionary Cost-sensitive Extreme Learning Machine

description: Conventional extreme learning machines solve a Moore-Penrose generalized inverse of hidden layer activated matrix and analytically determine the output weights to achieve generalized performance, by assuming the same loss from different types of misclassification. The assumption may not hold in cost-sensitive recognition tasks, such as face recognition based access control system, where misclassifying a stranger as a family member may result in more serious disaster than misclassifying a family member as a stranger. Though recent cost-sensitive learning can reduce the total loss with a given cost matrix that quantifies how severe one type of mistake against another, in many realistic cases the cost matrix is unknown to users. Motivated by these concerns, this paper proposes an evolutionary cost-sensitive extreme learning machine (ECSELM), with the following merits: 1) to our best knowledge, it is the first proposal of ELM in evolutionary cost-sensitive classification scenario; 2) it well addresses the open issue of how to define the cost matrix in cost-sensitive learning tasks; 3) an evolutionary backtracking search algorithm is induced for adaptive cost matrix optimization. Experiments in a variety of cost-sensitive tasks well demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approaches, with about 5%~10% improvements.

Singular Pseudodifferential Operators, Symmetrizers, and Oscillatory Multidimensional Shocks
Creators: name: Williams, Mark
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2002

description: We introduce a calculus of singular pseudodifferential operators (SPOs) depending on wavelength ε and use them to solve three different types of singular quasilinear hyperbolic systems. Such systems arise in nonlinear geometric optics and also, for example, in the study of incompressible limits and of nonlinear wave equations with small nonlinear terms or small data. The SPOs act in both slow and fast variables and are singular not only because their symbols have finite regularity and depend on , but also because their derivatives fail to decay in the usual way in the dual variables. There is a necessarily crude calculus with large parameter (e.g., residual operators are just bounded on L2), but the calculus admits the proof of Garding inequalities and enables us to symmetrize and sometimes even diagonalize the singular systems being considered by microlocalizing simultaneously in both slow and fast variables. The paper culminates in a proof of the existence of oscillatory multidimensional shocks on a fixed time interval independent of the wavelength ε as ε→0. The use of SPOs allows us to eliminate the small divisor assumptions made in earlier work and also to construct more general oscillatory solutions in which elliptic boundary layers are present on one or both sides of the shock.

description: На основе микрофотографий гистохимических препаратов проведен биоинформатический анализ активности ферментов кожного покрова некоторых грызунов. Метод заключается в определении rgb-координат пикселей полутоновых изображений с последующим расчетом фактического цветового отличия (AE, усл. ед.), при этом модификация формулы предполагает выявление евклидовой дистанции между параметрами белого цвета и серых тонов. Используя данный подход, рассчитаны предельные значения гистоэнзиматической активности, варьирующие от 0 до 441.67 усл. ед. Для оценки относительного уровня гистоэнзиматической активности предложен показатель относительного цветового отличия (ф,%), который равен отношению фактического цветового отличия к максимальному цветовому отличию (AEmax = 441.67 усл. ед.), выраженному в процентах. Чем ближе значение относительного цветового отличия приближается к 100%, тем выше уровень гистоэнзиматической активности. Данный метод был рассмотрен на примере ферментов кожного покрова самок некоторых грызунов, при этом получены следующие результаты (Средняя ± Стандартная ошибка,%) по относительному цветовому отличию: (1) кислая фосфатаза в анальных железах крыс линии Август -70.43 ± 0.63%; (2) щелочная фосфатаза в эккриновых железах подошв задних лап монгольской песчанки - 30.51 ± 3.40%; (3) аденозинтрифосфатаза в сальных железах углов рта крыс линии Август - 62.75 ± 2.87%; (4) щелочная фосфатаза в дерме белых нелинейных крыс - 66.16 ± 3.95%; (5) ди-оксифенилаланин-оксидаза в меланоцитах дермы ануса крыс линии Вистар - 64.04 ± 3.59%. Полученные результаты указывают на универсальность и экспрессный характер данного метода, а также на возможность использования количественной оценки гистохимической активности ферментов по микрофотографиям в клинической лабораторной диагностике, широко внедренной в практику биомедицинских исследований.
Regularity of functions smooth along foliations, and elliptic regularity
Creators: name: Rauch, Jeffrey
name: Taylor, Michael
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2005

description: We produce two sets of results arising in the analysis of the degree of smoothness of a function that is known to be smooth along the leaves of one or more foliations. These foliations might arise from Anosov systems, and while each leaf is smooth, the leaves might vary in a nonsmooth fashion. One set of results gives microlocal regularity of such a function away from the conormal bundle of a foliation. The other set of results gives local regularity of solutions to a class of elliptic systems with fairly rough coefficients. Such a regularity theory is motivated by one attack on the foliation regularity problem.

description: Take a family of independent events. If some of these events, or all of them, are replaced by their complements, then independence still holds. This fact, which is agreed upon by the members of the statistical/probability communities, is tremendously well known, is fairly intuitive and has always been frequently used for easing probability calculations and allowing important developments in probability theory. However, can this result be proven without advanced elements from probability theory, such as independent σ-fields and related results? This paper aims primarily to fill this possible gap. Two elementary proofs that require only introductory probability content are given in detail and compared with the ‘technical’ proof found in books on advanced probability theory. A discussion regarding how these proofs could be included in regular probability courses is also included in the survey.

description: Monitoring of radiocarbon ($^{14}$C) in carbon dioxide is demonstrated using mid-infrared spectroscopy and a quantum cascade laser. The measurement is based on cavity ring-down spectroscopy, and a high sensitivity is achieved with a simple setup. The instrument was tested using a standardised sample containing elevated levels of radiocarbon. Radiocarbon dioxide could be detected from samples with an isotopic ratio $^{14}$C/C as low as 50 parts-per-trillion, corresponding to an activity of 5 kBq/m$^3$ in pure CO$_2$, or 2 Bq/m$^3$ in air after extraction of the CO$_2$ from an air sample. The instrument is simple, compact and robust, making it the ideal tool for on-site measurements. It is aimed for monitoring of radioactive gaseous emissions in nuclear power environment, during the operation and decommissioning of nuclear power plants. Its high sensitivity also makes it the ideal tool for the detection of leaks in radioactive waste repositories.

Creators: name: Simoncini, Alessandro
Publisher: name: Università di Pisa
Year: 2020

description: The article focuses on some fragments of Foucault’s work from which, in the second half of the 1970s, a critique of the «droits de l’homme» emerges and leads to the sketch of a «droit des gouvernés». The Foucauldian perspective is questioned starting from the positions taken on the affaire Croissant and on the issue of Vietnamese refugees. These political events are important to understand the Foucauldian thematization of the need for a new form of right and for a «politics of the governed» capable of injecting new democratic substance into the worn-out legal machine of human rights.

description: The terms hold-in, pull-in (capture), and lock-in ranges are widely used by engineers for the concepts of frequency deviation ranges within which PLL-based circuits can achieve lock under various additional conditions. Usually only non-strict definitions are given for these concepts in engineering literature. After many years of their usage, F.~Gardner in the 2nd edition of his well-known work, Phaselock Techniques, wrote "There is no natural way to define exactly any unique lock-in frequency" and "despite its vague reality, lock-in range is a useful concept." Recently these observations have led to the following advice given in a handbook on synchronization and communications "We recommend that you check these definitions carefully before using them." In this survey it is shown that, from a mathematical point of view, in some cases the hold-in and pull-in "ranges" may not be the intervals of values but a union of intervals and thus their widely used definitions require clarification. Rigorous mathematical definitions for the hold-in, pull-in, and lock-in ranges are given. An effective solution for the problem on the unique definition of the lock-in frequency, posed by Gardner, is suggested.

Cracking a hierarchical chaotic image encryption algorithm based on permutation

Subjects: subject: Cryptography and Security (cs.CR)

description: In year 2000, an efficient hierarchical chaotic image encryption (HCIE) algorithm was proposed, which divides a plain-image of size $M\times N$ with $T$ possible value levels into $K$ blocks of the same size and then operates position permutation on two levels: intra-block and inter-block. As a typical position permutation-only encryption algorithm, it has received intensive attention. The present paper analyzes specific security performance of HCIE against ciphertext-only attack and known/chosen-plaintext attack. It is found that only $O(\lceil\log_T(M\cdot N/K) \rceil)$ known/chosen plain-images are sufficient to achieve a good performance, and the computational complexity is $O(M\cdot N\cdot \lceil\log_T(M\cdot N/K) \rceil)$, which effectively demonstrates that hierarchical permutation-only image encryption algorithms are less secure than normal (i.e., non-hierarchical) ones. Detailed experiment results are given to verify the feasibility of the known-plaintext attack. In addition, it is pointed out that the security of HCIE against ciphertext-only attack was much overestimated.

In line with the work carried out by the school in reducing the environmental impact generated by food remains through different strategies, this collaboration aims to develop various activities related to the utilization of food. Among these activities, proposed the development of a brief guide, for use and optional application in the field family, which aims to offer additional information on healthy eating and focused mainly on providing practical advice to families on some resources of possible interest for the use of surpluses and materials premiums that occur in the family. In no case does it seek to replace the menu and the recommendations offered by Colegio Vizcaya.
Strichartz estimates and local smoothing estimates for asymptotically flat Schrödinger equations

description: In this article we study global-in-time Strichartz estimates for the Schrödinger evolution corresponding to long-range perturbations of the Euclidean Laplacian. This is a natural continuation of a recent article [D. Tataru, Parametrices and dispersive estimates for Schrödinger operators with variable coefficients, Amer. J. Math. 130 (2008) 571–634] of the third author, where it is proved that local smoothing estimates imply Strichartz estimates. By [D. Tataru, Parametrices and dispersive estimates for Schrödinger operators with variable coefficients, Amer. J. Math. 130 (2008) 571–634] the local smoothing estimates are known to hold for small perturbations of the Laplacian. Here we consider the case of large perturbations in three increasingly favorable scenarios: (i) without non-trapping assumptions we prove estimates outside a compact set modulo a lower order spatially localized error term, (ii) with non-trapping assumptions we prove global estimates modulo a lower order spatially localized error term, and (iii) for time independent operators with no resonance or eigenvalue at the bottom of the spectrum we prove global estimates for the projection onto the continuous spectrum.

description: Decomposition into a direct sum of irreducible representations of the representation of the full collineation group of a finite Desarguesian plane, as a group of matrices permuting the flags of the plane and the simple components of the corresponding commutant algebra, have been worked out here for the projective plane PG(2, 2) and the affine plane EG(2, 3). The dimension and the components of the covariance matrix of the observations from a design derived from such a plane, which commutes with such a permutation representation of the full collineation group of the plane, are thus determined.

Lepton flavour violating decay of 125 GeV Higgs boson to $μτ$ channel and excess in $t\bar t H$

description: A recent search for the lepton flavor violating (LFV) decays of the Higgs boson, performed by CMS collaboration, reports an interesting deviation from the standard model (SM). The search conducted in the channel $H\rightarrow μτ_e$ and $H\rightarrow μτ_{\textrm{had}}$ shows an excess of $2.4σ$ signal events with 19.7 fb$^{-1}$ data at a center-of-mass energy $\sqrt s=8$ TeV. On the other hand, a search performed by CMS collaboration for the SM Higgs boson produced in association with a top quark pair ($t\bar t H$) also showed an excess in the same-sign di-muon final state. In this work we try to find out if these two seemingly uncorrelated excesses are related or not. Our analysis reveals that a lepton flavour violating Higgs decay ($H\rightarrowμτ$) can partially explain the excess in the same sign di-muon final state in the $t\bar t H$ search, infact brings down the excess well within 2$σ$ error of the SM expectation. Probing such non-standard Higgs boson decay is of interest and might contain hints of new physics at the electroweak scale.

description: In this paper, the dimension t and a linear basis of the commutant algebra corresponding to the representation of the full collineation group as matrices permuting the flags (incident point-line or point-hyperplane pairs) have been determined for each one of the four geometries PG(2, s), EG(2, s), PG(k, s), and EG(k, s), s = pr, k ⩾ 3. For the four geometries, t = 6, 7, 7, and 8, respectively, and the corresponding linear bases are (I, G, B, T, BT, TB), (I, G, B, T, BT, TB, BTB), (I, G, B, T, BT, TB, S), and (I, G, B, T, BT, TB, BTB, S). I, G, B, T are the relationship matrices of James (Ann. Math. Statist. 28 (1957), 993–1082) and the matrix S was introduced by Sysoev and Shaikin (Avtomat. i Telemekh. 5 (1976), 64–73).

description: A homeomorphism f is said to be quasiconformal, with given complex dilatation μ, in a domain G of the complex plane, if it satisfies the Beltrami equation fz, = μfz, (1) where μ =μ(z) is a complex-valued measurable function on G with μ< k< 1, and fz=1/2(fx-ify), fz = 1/2(fx + ify). (2) There are two principal problems: finding such quasiconformal homeomorphisms of the whole plane on itself, and of the unit disk D on itself. In both cases it is well known that a homeomorphism exists and, with appropriate normalization, it is unique.

description: A Hybrid single cavity (HSC) linac, which is formed by combining a radio frequency quadrupole (RFQ) structure and a drift tube (DT) structure into one interdigital-H (IH) cavity, is fabricated and assembled as a proof of principle (PoP) type injector for cancer therapy synchrotron according to the series researches. The injection method of the HSC linac adopt a direct plasma injection scheme (DPIS), which is considered to be the only method for accelerating an intense current heavy ion beam produced by a laser ion source (LIS). The input beam current of the HSC was designed to be 20 milliampere (mA) C6+ ions. According to numerical simulations, the HSC linac could accelerate a 6-mA C6+ beam which meets requirement of the needed particle number for cancer therapy use (108~9 ions per pulse). The injection system adopted HSC injector with the method of DPIS can make the existing multi-turn injection system and the stripping system unnecessary, and also can make the beam pipe of the existing synchrotron magnets downsize which could reduce the whole cost of synchrotron (estimated millions dollars). Details of the measurements and evaluations of the assembled HSC linac, and the results of the high power test using a LIS with DPIS are reported in this paper.

On the local stability of nonautonomous difference equations in Rn
Creators: name: Artzrouni, Marc
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1987

description: We prove several theorems on the local stability of an iterative process associated with a nonautonomous difference equation in Rn. These results provide general conditions under which the common fixed point X* of a family of operators is uniformly stable, uniformly attractive, or uniformly exponentially stable. The stability conditions are obtained by majorizing products of Jacobian matrices in a neighborhood of X*. When the Frechet derivatives are equicontinuous at X*, majorizations at X* suflice to ensure stable behavior. Nonuniform stability conditions are discussed. Stability conditions are also investigated when the spectral radii of the Jacobian matrices at X* are uniformly bounded below 1.
title: Ogni cosa è un’invenzione recente. Foucault e gli equivoci del nominalismo
Creators: name: Guadagni, Giulia
Publisher: name: Università di Pisa

description: The work of Michel Foucault has often been interpreted as an example of Relativism and philosophical Constructivism. The article suggests that this interpretation would be due to an unwarranted generalization and a wrong comprehension of the conclusion of Les Mots et les Choses: «the man is a recent invention». In the first part, it will be presented the reasons of the opponents to the constructivist drift, who propose realistic theses, giving Foucault a share of responsibility in the current discredit of concepts as truth, objectivity, reality. The second part will be dedicated to Foucault’s methodological Nominalism. Here, I’ll state that the wrong understanding of the «recent invention» is based on a reductive view of the language as a system of nomenclature, unduly attributed to Foucault. In this regard, I take in account the work of Paul Veyne.
title:  «Un fatale andare». Enrico Ferri dal socialismo all’«accordo pratico» tra fascismo e Scuola positiva
Creators: name: Colao, Floriana

description: Enrico Ferri è stato per oltre trent’anni leader e parlamentare socialista. Fondatore della «Scuola positiva», dal 1883 ha legato il penale alla società, prospettandone il senso come «difesa sociale», e presentando, nel 1921, un Progetto di codice penale ancorato a principi integralmente positivisti, quali la responsabilità legale, a sostituire il principio di legalità. Nel 1923 Ferri aderiva al gruppo parlamentare dei Socialisti nazionali, disposti a collaborare col governo di Mussolini, per Ferri capo carismatico in grado di risolvere la crisi dello Stato liberale, nel fallimento del Socialismo italiano, irrisolto tra riforme e rivoluzione e dedito a lacerazioni fazionarie. Dal 1924 Ferri accentuava lo statualismo a scapito dei diritti individuali, teorizzando «Lo Stato, organo supremo e unitario della giustizia sociale» e i «diritti dello Stato nella difesa sociale». Alla ricerca dell’«accordo pratico» con l’idealismo e con l’«annunciata riforma penale dell’amico on. Rocco», apprezzava il ripristino della pena di morte per gli attentati politici. Membro della Commissione incaricata dal guardasigilli di un nuovo codice penale, del Progetto del 1927 Ferri apprezzava la previsione delle misure di sicurezza, cavallo di battaglia positivista. Riconosceva che il testo era fondato sul retribuzionismo, e, da evoluzionista, lo definiva tappa dell’«evoluzione ulteriore delle leggi penali»

description: This is Part II of the paper series on data-compatible T-matrix completion (DCTMC), which is a method for solving nonlinear inverse problems. Part I of the series contains theory and here we present simulations for inverse scattering of scalar waves. The underlying mathematical model is the scalar wave equation and the object function that is reconstructed is the medium susceptibility. The simulations are relevant to ultrasound tomographic imaging and seismic tomography. It is shown that DCTMC is a viable method for solving strongly nonlinear inverse problems with large data sets. It provides not only the overall shape of the object but the quantitative contrast, which can correspond, for instance, to the variable speed of sound in the imaged medium.

Estimation of nonlinearities in parabolic models for growth, predation, and dispersal of populations
Creators: name: Banks, H.T
name: Murphy, K.A
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1989

description: A convergence theory is given for approximation techniques to treat inverse problems involving systems of nonlinear parabolic partial differential equations. These techniques can be used to estimate density-dependent dispersal coefficients in population models, as well as nonlinear growth and predation terms. Numerical experiences with the resulting algorithms on both conventional (scalar) and vector computers are reported along with an indication of performance of the methods with field data from prey-predator experiments.
title:  Il conflitto delle fedeltà. Arturo Carlo Jemolo e il fascismo
Creators: name: Fantappiè  ,  Carlo

description: Non è facile ricostruire il pensiero ideologico di A.C. Jemolo (1891-1981). Tra il 1912 e il 1914 assume posizioni nazionaliste e reazionarie in opposizione alle idee socialiste e massoniche. Alla vigilia della prima guerra mondiale aderisce a “Italia nostra”, un gruppo di intellettuali neutralisti. L’esperienza della guerra e l’incontro con Ernesto Buonaiuti provocano il suo distacco dal nazionalismo. In un primo momento respinge decisamente il fascismo come movimento sovvertitore dello Stato ma, dopo che esso si è consolidato, Jemolo è obbligato a scegliere una  linea di condotta che difenda i suoi princìpi. Tra il 1927 e il 1938 loda la figura di Mussolini e la sua politica ecclesiastica in diversi scritti. Dopo la caduta del regime, Jemolo reinterpreta il suo atteggiamento verso il fascismo come un “conflitto di fedeltà” tra lo Stato e il dovere d’ufficio, tra la propria etica e la coscienza cristiana. Nel 1947 la sua riflessione sfocia nella critica al formalismo giuridico e nell'affermazione dei limiti della funzione del giurista nella società.

Spectral weight redistribution in (LaNiO3)n/(LaMnO3)2 superlattices from optical spectroscopy

description: We have studied the optical properties of four (LaNiO$_3$)$_n$/(LaMnO$_3$)$_2$ superlattices (SL) ($n$=2, 3, 4, 5) on SrTiO$_3$ substrates. We have measured the reflectivity at temperatures from 20 K to 400 K, and extracted the optical conductivity through a fitting procedure based on a Kramers-Kronig consistent Lorentz-Drude model. With increasing LaNiO$_3$ thickness, the SLs undergo an insulator-to-metal transition (IMT) that is accompanied by the transfer of spectral weight from high to low frequency. The presence of a broad mid-infrared band, however, shows that the optical conductivity of the (LaNiO$_3$)$_n$/(LaMnO$_3$)$_2$ SLs is not a linear combination of the LaMnO$_3$ and LaNiO$_3$ conductivities. Our observations suggest that interfacial charge transfer leads to an IMT due to a change in valence at the Mn and Ni sites.

description: We study finite-dimensional integrals in a way that elucidates the mathematical meaning behind the formal manipulations of path integrals occurring in quantum field theory. This involves a proper understanding of how Wick's theorem allows one to evaluate integrals perturbatively, i.e., as a series expansion in a formal parameter irrespective of convergence properties. We establish invariance properties of such a Wick expansion under coordinate changes and the action of a Lie group of symmetries, and we use this to study essential features of path integral manipulations, including coordinate changes, Ward identities, Schwinger-Dyson equations, Faddeev-Popov gauge-fixing, and eliminating fields by their equation of motion. We also discuss the asymptotic nature of the Wick expansion and the implications this has for defining path integrals perturbatively and nonperturbatively.
