Description
Image-based process monitoring has recently attracted increasing attention due to the advancement of the sensing technologies. However, existing process monitoring methods fail to fully utilize the spatial information of images due to their complex characteristics including the high dimensionality and complex spatial structures. Recent advancement of the unsupervised deep models such as a generative adversarial network (GAN) and generative adversarial autoencoder (AAE) has enabled to learn the complex spatial structures automatically. Inspired by this advancement, we propose an anomaly detection framework based on the AAE for unsupervised anomaly detection for images. AAE combines the power of GAN with the variational autoencoder, which serves as a nonlinear dimension reduction technique with regularization from the discriminator. Based on this, we propose a monitoring statistic efficiently capturing the change of the image data. The performance of the proposed AAE-based anomaly detection algorithm is validated through a simulation study and real case study for rolling defect detection.

Description
Software engineering education today is a technologically advanced and rapidly evolving discipline. Being a discipline where students not only design but also build new technology, it is important that they receive a hands on learning experience in the form of project based courses. To maximize the learning benefit, students must conduct project-based learning activities in a consistent rhythm, or cadence. Project-based courses that are augmented with a system of frequent, formative feedback helps students constantly evaluate their progress and leads them away from a deadline driven approach to learning.
One aspect of this research is focused on evaluating the use of a tool that tracks student activity as a means of providing frequent, formative feedback. This thesis measures the impact of the tool on student compliance to the learning process. A personalized dashboard with quasi real time visual reports and notifications are provided to undergraduate and graduate software engineering students. The impact of these visual reports on compliance is measured using the log traces of dashboard activity and a survey instrument given multiple times during the course.
A second aspect of this research is the application of learning analytics to understand patterns of student compliance. This research employs unsupervised machine learning algorithms to identify unique patterns of student behavior observed in the context of a project-based course. Analyzing and labeling these unique patterns of behavior can help instructors understand typical student characteristics. Further, understanding these behavioral patterns can assist an instructor in making timely, targeted interventions. In this research, datasets comprising of student’s daily activity and graded scores from an under graduate software engineering course is utilized for the purpose of identifying unique patterns of student behavior.

Description
Due to vast resources brought by social media services, social data mining has
received increasing attention in recent years. The availability of sheer amounts of
user-generated data presents data scientists both opportunities and challenges. Opportunities are presented with additional data sources. The abundant link information
in social networks could provide another rich source in deriving implicit information
for social data mining. However, the vast majority of existing studies overwhelmingly
focus on positive links between users while negative links are also prevailing in real-
world social networks such as distrust relations in Epinions and foe links in Slashdot.
Though recent studies show that negative links have some added value over positive
links, it is dicult to directly employ them because of its distinct characteristics from
positive interactions. Another challenge is that label information is rather limited
in social media as the labeling process requires human attention and may be very
expensive. Hence, alternative criteria are needed to guide the learning process for
many tasks such as feature selection and sentiment analysis.
To address above-mentioned issues, I study two novel problems for signed social
networks mining, (1) unsupervised feature selection in signed social networks; and
(2) unsupervised sentiment analysis with signed social networks. To tackle the first problem, I propose a novel unsupervised feature selection framework SignedFS. In
particular, I model positive and negative links simultaneously for user preference
learning, and then embed the user preference learning into feature selection. To study the second problem, I incorporate explicit sentiment signals in textual terms and
implicit sentiment signals from signed social networks into a coherent model Signed-
Senti. Empirical experiments on real-world datasets corroborate the effectiveness of
these two frameworks on the tasks of feature selection and sentiment analysis.
