Crowdsourcing is becoming increasingly important for contemporary applications in machine learning and artificial intelligence. However, crowdsourcing systems may be susceptible to adversarial attacks where a subset of annotators deliberately provide erroneous responses. This paper introduces a nove…
Eigenvector embeddings have been widely used to study graph properties in signal processing, mining, and learning tasks. However, if a graph is changing dynamically, these embeddings have to be recomputed. In this work we introduce a novel matrix resolvent expansion-based projection scheme to update…
Assessing set-membership and evaluating distances to the related set boundary are problems of widespread interest, and can often be computationally challenging. Seeking efficient learning models for such tasks, this paper deals with voltage stability margin prediction for power systems. Supervised t…
The present work addresses the problem of adversarial attacks in unsupervised ensemble or crowdsourcing classification tasks. Under certain conditions, it is shown, both analytically and through numerical tests, that spammers cause the most damage with respect to classification performance. To curb…
The present work introduces a simple scheme for active classification of data using unsupervised ensembles of classifiers. Uncertainty sampling, with different uncertainty measures, is evaluated for data selection, while an online expectation maximization algorithm is derived to estimate model param…
