Bigdata - The Unbanked and Poverty: Predicting area-level socio-economic vulnerability from M-Money transactions
2018 IEEE International Conference on Big Data (Big Data), 2018Co-Authors: Gregor Engelmann, Gavin Smith, James GouldingAbstract:Emerging economies around the world are often characterized by governments and institutions struggling to keep key demographic data streams up to date. A demographic of interest particularly linked to social vulnerability is that of poverty and socio-economic status. The combination of mass call detail records (CDR) data with machine learning has recently been proposed as a way to obtain this data without the expense required by traditional census and household survey methods. Based on a sample of 330k mobile phone subscribers resident in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania (7.6m M-Money records, 450.2m call and SMS event logs) this paper demonstrates the improvements that can be made via an alternate data stream: M-Money transaction records. An alternative to traditional banking services, particularly utilized by citizens unable to obtain a bank account, M-Money transactions provide a currently unexplored but potentially more powerful data set held by the same telecommunication companies.Comparing directly to CDR as used in prior work the results show that M-Money provides an increase in socio-demographic classification accuracy (average F1 score) from 65.9% (0.63) to 71.3% (0.7) at much finer-grained spatial regions than previously examined. Notably, the combined use of M-Money and CDR data only increases prediction accuracy (average F1 score) from 71.3% (0.7) to 72.3% (0.71), providing evidence that M-Money is informationally subsuming CDR data. The reasons for this and the importance/contributions of individual features are subsequently investigated.

Identifying Temporal Patterns Using ADS in NTFS for Digital Forensics
Security with Intelligent Computing and Big-data Services, 2018Co-Authors: Yuan-pei ChanAbstract:The storage and handling of alternate data stream (ADS) in NTFS have posted significant challenges for law enforcement agencies (LEAs). ADS can hide data as any formats in additional $data attributes of digital file. The process of data content will update some metadata attributes of date-time stamp in files. This paper introduces ADS and reviews the literature pertaining to the forensic analysis of its data hiding. It describes some temporal patterns for evaluating if ADS are hidden in digital files or not. The analysis of file metadata assists in accurately correlating activities from date-time stamp evidence. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of temporal patterns for digital forensics across various types of file operations.
