Network Visualization of IoT devices

Project Summary

Bernice Meja (Philosophy, Physics), Jessica Yang (Computer Science, ECE), and Tracey Chen (Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering) spent ten weeks building methods for Duke’s Office of Information Technology (OIT) to better understand information arising from “smart” (IoT) devices on campus. Working with data provided by an IoT testbed set up by OIT professionals, the team used a mixture of supervised and unsupervised machine-learning techniques and built a prototype device classifier.

American Predatory Lending (Year 3)

Alexa Goble (Finance) joined Econ majors Chavez Cheong and Eli Levine in a ten-week exploration of mortgage enforcement actions related to the financial crisis from earlier in this century. Using NLP techniques on mortgage data from Ohio and Massachusetts, the team validated a new experimental approach to understanding the dynamics between state regulatory agencies, mortgage lenders, brokers, and loan originators. This project was a continuation of two previous Data+ projects:

Redistricting School Zones in Durham County

Stats/Sociology major Mitchelle Mojekwu joined Neuroscience majors Kassie Hamilton and Zineb Jaidi in a ten-week exploration of data relevant to an upcoming public school zone redistricting in Durham County. Using information acquired from the General Social Survey and the US Census, the team applied modern mathematical and statistical methods for generating proposed redistricting plans, with the aim of providing decision-makers with information they can use to produce school districts that are equitable and reflective of the Durham County student population.

Agile Waveform Design in the Presence of Opposition: Quantifying Performance

Pryia Juarez (BME/ECE), Jonathan Pilland (ECE/BME), and Matthew Traum (CS/Econ) spent teen weeks analyzing sensor data synthesized by an agile waveform generator. The team used deep reinforcement learning techniques to understand the performance of different synthetic agents representing potential attackers to the sensor system.
