Named entity recognition (NER) on noisy data, specifically user-generated content (e.g. on- line reviews, tweets) is a challenging task because of the presence of ill-formed text. In this regard, while studies on ...

In recent years, research made in person re-identification has gained quite a bit of significance due to the increasing demand from a broad range of application fields with security and surveillance topping the list. A ...

Since mobile devices are increasingly on hand today, users have become more heavily involved with their use in accessing the Internet. Today, most mobile devices use the Android operating system. On mobile devices, users' ...

Most pre-trained word embeddings are achieved from context-based learning algorithms trained over a large text corpus. This leads to learning similar vectors for words that share most of their contexts, while expressing ...

Detecting anomalies in surveillance videos is an important research problem in computer vision. In this thesis, we propose two deep network architectures for anomaly detection, Anomaly Detection Network (ADNet) and Anomaly ...

Automatic term extraction is an essential task in natural language processing. In this thesis, we work on terminology extraction for two purposes. The first aim is to measure inconsistency of scientific terminology for ...

Visual question answering (VQA) is one of the difficult tasks in multimodal machine reasoning. VQA requires machines to provide correct answers to questions about an image or a video. Here, the machine should perceive the ...

Despite the various technological advancements that have been made in the fight against phishing attacks, the problem still remains one of the most common threats in the cybersecurity domain. Due to the increasing number ...

Many representation and modalities are developed for better scene understanding as images, videos, point clouds, etc. In this thesis, we intentionally characterize scene representation as depth maps in order to leverage ...

Real-time data tracking plays an essential role in the flight test processes of an aircraft. The data flowing from the aircraft to the ground control center must be real-time and uninterrupted. However, sometimes ground ...
