PrivaSee: Building an Automated Interface to Enhance Usability and User Comprehension of Privacy Policies
(2020-06-17)
This thesis presents PrivaSee, proof-of-concept demo interface for reading privacy policies to aid user decision making by improving readability, comprehension, and understanding of the policy in relation to other privacy ...
Secure Messaging
(2020-06-17)
This work examines the cryptographic notion of secure two-party communication. It analyzes optimal confidentiality and authenticity in the setting of an insecure channel, insecure user states, and leaky randomness. It ...
Computational Entropy and Cryptographic Constructions
(2019-08-23)
In the field of cryptography, the primitive of a one-way function is a powerful tool that can be effectively wielded to construct such tools as pseudorandom generators \citep{HILL99}, commitment schemes \citep{VZ11}, and ...
Directed Network Analysis of Genome-Wide Data for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Fibromyalgia Diagnosis
(2019-08-23)
Network-based computational analysis of genome-wide data has been used to aid prediction of disease status with success in the past. Machine learning classifiers are usually applied to datasets of gene expression and/or ...
What Makes the Market Tix: A Machine Learning Analysis of the Resale Concert Ticket Market
(2020-06-17)
The resale concert ticket market is a largely unexplored domain in terms of rigorous statistical analysis. It is a market in which tickets are sold at multiples of their face value minutes after they are released to the ...
Coarse-to-Fine Circular Sequence Alignment
(2020-06-18)
A novel coarse-to-fine alignment algorithm for small, circular sequences.
Register Allocation by Pseudo-Boolean Optimization
(2020-06-18)
Register Allocation is a part of the compilation process in which virtual registers are mapped to a physical memory location. This problem is NP-hard yet also an integral part of the compilation process which has led to ...
READR: A RST Driven Text Processing Platform for Reading Comprehension
(2020-06-17)
Human language is built upon underlying structure, yet the text we are used to reading is displayed in a flat body with minimal context. I present READR, a tool that can identify and highlight hidden structures in text ...
The Voting Power Gap: Identifying Racial Gerrymandering with a Discrete Voter Model
(2020-06-17)
Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA) prohibits voting practices or procedures that discriminate based on race, color, or membership in a language minority group, and is often cited by plaintiffs seeking to ...
Explaining Explanations and Perturbing Perturbations
(2020-06-17)
The impressive performance of machine learning models on prediction and classification tasks has sparked interest in deploying such models to make high-stakes decisions in domains such as health care and criminal justice. ...
