| Networks can be vast and complicated entities consisting of both servers and workstations that contain information sought by attackers. Searching for specific data in a large network can be a time consuming process. Vast amounts of data either passes through or is stored by various servers on the network. However, intermediate work products are often kept solely on workstations. Potential high value targets can be passively identified by comparing user ... |

|
| The investigators' goal is to develop a fully automated classification scheme for computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) in mammography. Traditional CAD classification schemes and performance measurement tools, such as receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, are based on the premise that the observations are classified into two groups, most commonly malignant and benign. Such classification schemes are difficult to fully automate, as they analyze radiologist-identified lesions. The difficulty is that many false-positive (FP) ... |

| Our goal is to develop a fully automated classification scheme for computer-aided diagnosis in mammography. Our proposed scheme would classify computer detections into three groups: malignant lesions, benign lesions, and false-positive computer detections. This method presents considerable difficulties in terms of both signal detection theory and performance evaluation methods. During the past year we have focused our efforts on theoretical understanding of the behavior and properties of the three-group classifier. ... |
