Mobile sensing is an emerging technology that utilizes agent-participatory data for decision making or state estimation, including multimedia applications. This article investigates the structure of mobile sensing schemes and introduces crowdsourcing methods for mobile sensing. Inspired by social network, one can estab…
Recently, mobile operators in many developing economies have launched "Mobile Money" platforms that deliver basic financial services over the mobile phone network. While many believe that these services can improve the lives of the poor, a consistent difficulty has been identifying individuals most likely to benefit fr…
In this work, we analyze the problem of adoption of mobile money in Pakistan by using the call detail records of a major telecom company as our input. Our results highlight the fact that different sections of the society have different patterns of adoption of digital financial services but user mobility related feature…
In this paper we present a review of the existing typologies of Internet service users. We zoom in on social networking services including blogs and crowdsourcing websites. Based on the results of the analysis of the considered typologies obtained by means of FCA we developed a new user typology of a certain class of I…
Paper analyzes churn behavior in mobile games at micro and macro levels.
problem Understanding churn behavior in mobile games, especially at micro and macro levels.
method Developed a semi-supervised and inductive embedding model for micro-level churn prediction and constructed a relationship graph for macro-level churn ranking.
result Accurate micro-level churn prediction and macro-level churn ranking were achieved using novel techniques.
Rank aggregation based on pairwise comparisons over a set of items has a wide range of applications. Although considerable research has been devoted to the development of rank aggregation algorithms, one basic question is how to efficiently collect a large amount of high-quality pairwise comparisons for the ranking pur…
Biodiversity monitoring using audio recordings is achievable at a truly global scale via large-scale deployment of inexpensive, unattended recording stations or by large-scale crowdsourcing using recording and species recognition on mobile devices. The ability, however, to reliably identify vocalising animal species is…
In this paper we investigate the behavioural differences between mobile phone customers with prepaid and postpaid subscriptions. Our study reveals that (a) postpaid customers are more active in terms of service usage and (b) there are strong structural correlations in the mobile phone call network as connections betwee…
Digital Financial Services continue to expand and replace the delivery of traditional banking services to the customers through innovative technologies to meet the growing complex needs and globalization challenges. These diversified digital products help the organizations (service providers) to improve their firm perf…
ARDEN improves deep learning performance on mobile devices by protecting privacy in the cloud.
problem Balancing privacy and performance in mobile deep learning with limited device capacity.
method ARDEN partitions DNN across mobile devices and cloud, using data transformation and noise addition for privacy, and noisy training for robustness.
result ARDEN enhances inference performance on cloud while maintaining strong privacy.
Proposes a model for identifying 4G cells with network throughput problems.
problem Challenges in identifying 4G cells with network throughput issues due to network complexity and privacy concerns.
method Data-driven model using clustering and Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). Model parameters are learned from a small number of expert-labeled data. Multiple clustering models capture common features for problematic cells.
result The proposed model outperforms a simple classifier in identifying cells with network throughput problems.
