A hidden Markov model with abnormal states for detecting stock price manipulation (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Cao, Y., Li, Y., Coleman, S., Belatreche, A., & McGinnity, T. (2013, October). A hidden Markov model with abnormal states for detecting stock price manipulation. Presented at Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, Manchester

Price manipulation refers to the act of using illegal trading behaviour to manually change an equity price with the aim of making profits. With increasing volumes of trading, price manipulation can be extremely damaging to the proper functioning and...

Novelty detection using level set methods with adaptive boundaries (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Ding, X., Li, Y., Belatreche, A., & Maguire, L. (2013, October). Novelty detection using level set methods with adaptive boundaries. Presented at Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, Manchester

This paper proposes a locally adaptive level set boundary description (LALSBD) method for novelty detection. The proposed method adjusts the non linear boundary directly in the input space and consists of a number of processes including level set fun...
