  Dissertation Defense: Sanad Biswas

  The School of Data Science and Analytics is pleased to announce the dissertation defense of Mr. Sanad Biswas on Monday, July 14th at 12:00 p.m. Please join us in person in Atrium J2225 or via Teams at this link.

   

  Mr. Biswas’s dissertation is entitled “Feature Significance and Explainability in Neural Network.”

  His committee is: Dr. Sherry Ni (chair), Dr. Linh Le, Dr. Jonathan Boardman, and Dr. Xinyan Zhang.

  _________________________

   

  Abstract:

  As deep neural networks grow increasingly powerful, concerns about their opacity and interpretability escalate, hindering their trustworthiness in high-stakes scenarios. eXplainable AI (XAI) methods have emerged to enhance transparency and accountability in neural networks, emphasizing interpretability through global feature significance, which explains model behavior across entire datasets, and local feature attribution, which explains individual predictions. A critical yet overlooked aspect is the selection of appropriate baselines for attribution methods. This dissertation addresses these dimensions by proposing rigorous methodologies: (1) a permutation-based testing framework for global feature significance, uniquely permuting the target variable to robustly handle nonlinear relationships and multicollinearity without restrictive assumptions; (2) statistical hypothesis tests and confidence intervals for local feature attribution methods, including Integrated Gradients, DeepLIFT, SHAP, and LIME, providing robust validation of individual feature contributions; and (3) a generative contrastive baseline approach that constructs minimally perturbed counterfactuals, offering actionable, realistic explanations within the data manifold. Together, these methodologies significantly advance XAI, integrating statistical rigor with practical applicability to promote transparent, accountable, and ethically responsible neural network models.

  Dissertation Defense: Jitendra Sai Kota

  10:00am

  The School of Data Science and Analytics is pleased to announce the dissertation defense of Mr. Jitendra Sai Kota on Friday, July 18th at 10:00 a.m. Please join us in person in Atrium J1112 or via Teams (Link HERE).
   

  Mr. Kota’s dissertation is entitled “Enhancing Off-Angle Iris Recognition Performance”.

  His committee is: Dr. Mahmut Karakaya (chair), Dr. Ramazan Aygun, and Dr. Md. Abdullah Al Hafiz Khan.

  _____________________________

  Abstract:

  The usage of biometrics offers a reliable and high performing technology in the field of person identification and verification. Iris recognition, which uses the human iris as the biometric, is known for its low False Acceptance Rates and False Rejection Rates, making it one of the most secure and accurate forms of biometric authentication available today. However, most of the current iris recognition systems are based on frontal iris recognition, which limits the usability of the technology.

   

  In frontal iris recognition, it is required that the axis of the human eye aligns with the axis of camera lens. To make iris recognition unconstrained and expand on its usability, there is a need for off-angle iris recognition. In off-angle iris recognition, there is no need for the axis match of human eye and camera lens, making off-angle iris recognition suitable for tasks like fast security checks and remote surveillance. However, off-angle iris recognition is not as simple as performing a perspective projection, because of several factors such as illumination, presence of cornea and limbus in the human eye. In this thesis, we propose three models that aim at improving the off-angle iris recognition at different levels. The first model identifies the most affected regions in the iris images and masks them. The second model creates a frontal projection of the off-angle iris image using a modified Pix2Pix GAN model. The third model proposes a novel segmentation algorithm for off-angle iris images.

  Ms. Grundlingh’s dissertation is entitled “Quantifying Uncertainty in Image Generative Models.”

  Her committee is: Dr. Herman Ray (chair), Dr. Xinyan Zhang, and Dr. Linh Le.

  __________________

   

  Abstract:

  Recent advancements in deep learning, particularly the development of large language models, have generated substantial interest, yet there remains limited evidence that these technologies consistently fulfill their anticipated potential. While uncertainty quantification has been extensively studied in the context of classification and regression tasks, it is comparatively underdeveloped in generative models, and image captioning models in particular. At present, there is limited consensus regarding appropriate methodologies for quantifying uncertainty in these systems.

   

  This research examines existing uncertainty quantification approaches and evaluates their suitability for image captioning models. The findings indicate that current methods are generally inadequate for the generative setting, owing to the conditional and recursive nature of language generation. To address this gap, we conduct experiments involving the generation of structured captions and developed a distributional framework to quantify uncertainty based on the predicted probabilities associated with generated tokens. We find the distributional method works for a limited number of tokens generated. Subsequently, the investigation extends to unstructured captions, wherein we introduce a method for constructing prediction sets around parts of speech, thereby providing a specified level of confidence that the true value resides within the set. These prediction sets can be utilized to score captions, facilitating the identification of captions that warrant further review. This approach not only enables the quantification of uncertainty in generated text captions but also supports the formation of word sets that are most relevant to the image.

  Analysis and Applied Mathematics (AAM) Seminar

  1:30pm

  Speaker: Dr. Ihsan Topaloglu, Virginia Commonwealth University
  Title: “A Variational model involving nonlocal interactions of Wasserstein type”
  Abstract: In this talk, I will consider a variational problem which appears in models of bilayer membranes. After introducing and deriving the model I will establish the existence of volume-constrained minimizers where the energy functional consists of two competing terms: a surface energy term penalizing transitions between sets and a nonlocal energy involving the Wasserstein distance between equal volume sets. In the second part of the talk I will consider the maximization of the minimum Wasserstein distance between two given sets, and show that this maximum is obtained by a ball. These results are drawn from joint works with Almut Burchard, Davide Carazzato, Michael Novack, and Raghavendra Venkatraman.

   

  The Analysis and Applied Mathematics (AAM) Seminar is intended for Kennesaw State faculty working in the various areas of analysis and applied mathematics to get together to discuss their current work or related questions. Seminars often involve advanced mathematical knowledge. However, the seminars are open to anyone interested in attending.

   

  This seminar will be held virtually.

  Using Rubrics for Grading Assessments

  1:00pm

  Have you used rubrics for your online assessments before? Have you been frustrated using the rubrics tool in D2L? Do you know that rubrics can improve student performance by providing clarity on student expectations?

  In the webinar “Using Rubrics for Grading Assessments”, we will talk about two different types of rubrics and why using rubrics can help instructors build a presence in their courses through inbuilt feedback and clear assessment guidelines. We will also take this opportunity to focus on how rubrics can help improve student performance and the quality of student learning and make grading a fair and impartial process. During the webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use the rubrics tool in D2L and how instructors can easily evaluate student work and provide feedback.

  Rubrics have proved to reduce grading time for instructors and help provide consistent feedback to students over the long run. If you are interested in using rubrics for an upcoming online class, please attend this 60-minute webinar on April-20 2023, at 2 pm on Teams.

  Analysis and Applied Mathematics (AAM) Seminar

  11:00am

  Speaker: Seongmin Jeon, Hanyang University
  Title: “The free boundary for a superlinear system”
  Abstract: In this paper, we study superlinear systems that give rise to free boundaries. Such systems appear for example from the minimization of the energy functional

  $$
  \int_{\Omega}\left(|\nabla\mathbf{u}|^2+\frac2p|\mathbf{u}|^p\right),\quad 0<p<1,
  $$
  but solutions can be also understood in an ad hoc viscosity way. First, we prove the optimal regularity of minimizers using a variational approach. Then, we apply a linearization technique to establish the $C^{1,\alpha}$-regularity of the ``flat'' part of the free boundary via a viscosity method. Finally, for minimizing free boundaries, we extend this result to analyticity.

   

  The Analysis and Applied Mathematics (AAM) Seminar is intended for Kennesaw State faculty working in the various areas of analysis and applied mathematics to get together to discuss their current work or related questions. Seminars often involve advanced mathematical knowledge. However, the seminars are open to anyone interested in attending.

   

  This seminar will be held virtually.

This highly interactive and collaborative session is part of a three-part series designed to help faculty reflect, recharge, and reignite their passion for teaching.

  Using Discussions Effectively in Online Courses

  1:00pm

  Click Here to Register

  Do you use discussions in your online courses? Or do you totally avoid them because you want to eliminate inane exchanges between students that makes no sense and adds no value to the class or to their learning? Do you think it’s important for students to engage in online discussions, but you are not sure how to proceed? Have you used discussions, but they have not been as effective or engaging? Or you have never really thought about the usefulness of discussions as an engagement and interactive tool in online teaching and learning? If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, this webinar is for you.

  During the “Using Discussions Effectively in Online Courses” webinar session, we will demonstrate how instructors can effectively include discussions in their online courses, how they can make grading these discussions less of a chore and more of a learning experience for students and how incorporating discussions based on high fidelity topics can add value to learning opportunities for students and help them understand concepts through peer interaction and instructor guidance.

  Analysis and Applied Mathematics (AAM) Seminar

  11:00am

  Speaker: Dr. Fernando Charro, Wayne State University
  Title: “Mean-value characterizations of polyharmonic functions”
  Abstract: We introduce a family of mean-value formulas (including exact and asymptotic formulas) that characterize polyharmonic functions of finite order. Polyharmonic problems arise in linear elasticity, hydrodynamics, structural engineering, and digital image compression and reconstruction. Our results provide a nice geometric interpretation of polyharmonic functions consistent with the classical harmonic case, while partitioning the set of mean-value properties into classes of equivalence according to the order of the polyharmonic functions they characterize. Our key results include strong converses to the mean-value properties —locally integrable functions satisfying a mean-value property in the family are polyharmonic— and a regularity result —locally integrable functions satisfying a mean-value property in the family, whether exact or asymptotic, are smooth.

   

  The Analysis and Applied Mathematics (AAM) Seminar is intended for Kennesaw State faculty working in the various areas of analysis and applied mathematics to get together to discuss their current work or related questions. Seminars often involve advanced mathematical knowledge. However, the seminars are open to anyone interested in attending.

   

  This seminar will be held virtually.
