Research Areas
At AISP we perform research related to security and privacy, including but not limited to the following areas.
Privacy Enhancing Technologies
We identify valuable personal data, propose methods to protect it from malicious attacks, and design privacy‑preserving models to safeguard sensitive information.
Machine Learning and Data Mining
Our work includes detecting abnormal human activities in video streams while balancing privacy risks and anonymization challenges.
Big Data Analysis
We explore entity resolution over incomplete data sources and develop methods to improve accuracy in real‑world, imperfect datasets.
NLP and Text Analysis
We analyze text messages to identify psychological distress, building corpora and machine learning models to detect patterns and trends.
Social Networks and Social Media
We study privacy behaviors, tagging patterns, and risk awareness, extending tools like YourPrivacyProtector to help users manage privacy settings.
Privacy Awareness and Education
We investigate children's privacy in social media and intrusive apps, aiming to improve digital literacy and inform policy design.
Cognitive Behavior and Usable Privacy
We examine how cognitive biases and mental models influence security decisions, using crowdsourcing and eye‑tracking experiments.
Privacy in Wearable Devices
We design privacy models and access control systems for wearable devices that collect sensitive real‑time data, ensuring user control and protection.
