A Dictionary-Based Approach to Identifying Malicious Machine-Generated Text
No full textThe primary focus of my dissertation is to study how to apply Artificial Intelligence (AI)in cybersecurity to identify malicious machine-generated text. I define the scope ofmalicious machine-generated text in two forms: 1) A malicious domain name, and 2)misinformation content in social media. I analyze machine-generated textual content andinvestigate the relationships between the linguistic and information characteristics ofdynamic generated content. Thus, my research problem is to distinguish generated textualcontent between machine (bots) and humans. More specifically, the research problem canbe divided into several sub-problems: First, after testing 39 DGA-family domain namesand comparing results with other similar research, my method which utilizes N-gram baseddictionary features from Alexa and English dictionary outperformed the detection inmalicious domain names generated using domain-generated algorithms. Second, Iproposed a method which combines a sequence of word frequencies and informationentropy of the content to generate features for machine learning algorithms in social mediaaccount detection. By detecting such accounts early, this method can stop the spread offalse information in a timely manner. Third, I presented an algorithm by incorporating anew similarity-based feature which only extracted from the text content, content-basedfeatures, and user-based features in LSTM model. Furthermore, to extend the rational ofensemble learning, I combined two LSTM models by using a conditional meta-classifierin spam detection. The exhaustive experiment showed that this model outperforms all otherbaselines on an imbalanced dataset and achieves comparable results as a modern model onbalanced dataset

Mingle Mingle: Practicing Pronouns
Get PDFHi! My name is ___ and my pronouns are ___, nice to meet you. Have you heard someone at Pace introduce themselves this way? Did you not understand or know how to respond? That’s okay! It’s helpful to share pronouns to people you haven’t met so they know how to refer to you when you aren’t around, and this is a practice we’ve grown accustomed to at Pace University. This isn’t natural for everyone, so this event is an opportunity to practice sharing your pronouns and using other folks\u27 pronouns in conversation. We will be speed meeting some other students in the community and sharing some fun facts about ourselves while also using pronouns to refer to others. After the activity, we will have a chance to chat about why we should normalize sharing our pronouns and how that can show allyship to the LGBTQ+ community, specifically the trans/nonbinary/gender-nonconforming community. This will also be a great way to get to know folks you haven’t met in the residence hall, so we look forward to meeting you when you come
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), Resilience, and Parenting Behavior Perceptions Amongst Young Adults
No full textPrevious research indicates that adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have a significant impact on individuals’ psychological and physical well-being through adulthood. The literature of resilience focuses on protective factors (e.g., positive parenting) that potentially mitigate the detrimental impact of many risk factors, such as ACEs. However, there is limited research about the effects on perceptions of parenting behaviors for individuals with a history of ACEs. This study examined the relationship between and among ACEs, resilience, and parenting behavior perceptions, utilizing Mowder’s (2005) Parent Development Theory (PDT) as the theoretical basis to understand the parent role. This research also considered individual diversity factors, such as ethnicity and socioeconomic status, in relation to ACEs, resilience, and parenting behavior perceptions. This study found that in a sample of young adults attending college there is not an overall strong relationship between ACEs and parenting behavior perceptions. Measures of resilience were not found to be significantly correlated with a history of ACEs. Results demonstrate that socio-cultural factors such as ethnicity and socioeconomic status influence parenting perceptions, albeit in somewhat limited ways in the current sample. Nonetheless, this research suggests that college attendance implicates a certain level of resilience, despite early childhood obstacles, and thus also shapes attitudes towards parenting in a positive way. Mental health professionals may gain from this research in terms of tailoring interventions and parenting education resources to those individuals who have experienced ACEs
Improved Functioning after Bereavement: The Role of Social Integration and Social Support
No full textPeople respond in widely varying ways to the loss of a loved one. Although most people manage the experience of loss without significant disruptions in healthy functioning, others show markedly divergent reactions including chronic grief symptoms and recovery from initial elevations in grief. In addition to these grief patterns, recent prospective research has found evidence of a particularly surprising response to loss: marked improvement in psychological functioning after loss. The goal of this project is to examine the correlates of this pattern with a focus on social functioning. To address this goal, I conducted a secondary analysis of a prospective study of bereaved spouses to examine whether those spouses who improve after loss also report beneficial changes in social functioning. Data were collected before and after bereavement with baseline interviews occurring on average 3 years before spousal loss and post-loss interviews occurring at 6 months. Improved participants were identified based on reductions in depression scores using medium and large effect size changes to identify improved functioning after loss. A repeated measures analysis examines changes in social relationship variables over the 2 waves for both bereaved groups, as well as a control group, and compares results to those who were not identified as improved. I hypothesized that improvements in functioning in the wake of bereavement are associated with improvements in social relationships. Results revealed positive changes in several social support variables among those who experience psychological improvement in the wake of loss compared to the control group and non-improved bereavement group, including perceived instrumental support, involvement in clubs and religious activities, negative hassles from friends and relatives, and wellbeing. These results support the hypothesis that improvements in functioning in the wake of bereavement are associated with improvements in relationships
Bargaining for Integration
Get PDFThe Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires employers to restructure exclusionary environments upon the request of their employees with disabilities so that they may continue working. Under a virtually unexamined aspect of the mandate, however, the parties must negotiate in good faith over every accommodation request. This “interactive process,” while decentralized and potentially universal, occurs on a private, individualized basis.
Although the very existence of the mandate has been heavily debated, the scholarship has yet to acknowledge that the ADA is actually ambivalent to individuals’ relative power to effect organizational change through bargaining. This Article is the first to critique the law’s interactive requirements. The process does not appear in the statute but is an agency’s conceptualization of the mandate as an idealized exchange. By evaluating new empirical evidence relating to race, class, and gender outcomes against the meso-level theories underlying the mandate, this Article argues that the process disempowers employees through deficits of information, individuated design, and employers’ resistance to costs. Nonetheless, there is growing momentum to replicate the mandate to accommodate pregnancy and other workers’ needs.
As the workplace is increasingly deemed essential to societal well-being, this new perspective reveals the law’s design flaws and unfulfilled potential. In response, the Article proposes reallocations of power so that the state may: gather and publicize organizational precedent to enable structural analysis, regulation, and innovation at scale; legally recognize that dismantling ableist environments and antidiscrimination work are collective endeavors; and expand the social insurance model for accommodations. Perhaps, then, the ADA’s original vision of institutional transformation may become possible
