MNT-TNN: Spatiotemporal Traffic Data Imputation via Compact Multimode Nonlinear Transform-Based Tensor Nuclear Norm

Transportation Research Part C: Emerging TechnologiesElsevierCorresponding author

Yihang Lu, Mahwish Yousaf, Xianwei Meng, Enhong Chen

Traffic sensors fail, and the gaps they leave distort everything computed downstream. This work recovers the missing readings by treating the network as a tensor over space and time, and modelling the structure that survives across all three modes at once.

Supervised a PhD student's project as corresponding author.

An Extended-Isomap for High-Dimensional Data Accuracy and Efficiency: A Comprehensive Survey

Multimedia Tools and ApplicationsSpringerFirst author

Mahwish Yousaf, Muhammad Saadat Shakoor Khan, Shamsher Ullah

A map of the field: what Isomap gets wrong, which of the many proposed repairs actually hold up, and where the open problems still are.

Elliptic Curve Cryptography: Applications, Challenges, Recent Advances, and Future Trends — A Comprehensive Survey

Computer Science ReviewElsevierCo-author

Shamsher Ullah, Zheng Jiangbin, Nizam Ud Din, Muhammad Tanveer Hussain, Farhan Ullah, Mahwish Yousaf

A wide survey of where elliptic-curve cryptography is actually deployed, what breaks it, and which advances have held up in practice.

A*-FastIsomap: An Improved Performance of Classical Isomap Based on A* Search Algorithm

Neural Processing LettersSpringerCorresponding author

Tanzeel U. Rehman, Mahwish Yousaf, Li Jing

Isomap's cost is dominated by all-pairs shortest paths. Replacing that search with A* keeps the geometry and removes much of the wait.

Supervised a master's student's thesis as corresponding author.

QuSigS: A Quantum Signcryption Scheme to Recover Key Escrow Problem and Key Revocation Problem in Cloud Computing

Multimedia Tools and ApplicationsSpringerCo-author

Shamsher Ullah, Muhammad Tanveer Hussain, Mahwish Yousaf

Cloud key management fails in two specific ways — escrow and revocation. This scheme addresses both without giving up signature or encryption guarantees.

NRIC: A Noise Removal Approach for Nonlinear Isomap Method

Neural Processing LettersSpringerFirst author

Mahwish Yousaf, Muhammad Saadat Shakoor Khan, Tanzeel U. Rehman, Shamsher Ullah, Li Jing

A single mis-joined neighbour can fold an entire manifold in on itself. NRIC finds and removes those connections before the geometry is computed.

FastIsomapVis: A Novel Approach for Nonlinear Manifold Learning

IEEE AccessIEEEFirst author

Mahwish Yousaf, Tanzeel U. Rehman, Dongliang Liao, Najia Alhusaini, Li Jing

Divide the data, solve each piece, then stitch the pieces back into one consistent embedding — making Isomap usable at scales where it previously was not.

An Extended Isomap Approach for Nonlinear Dimension Reduction

SN Computer ScienceSpringerFirst author

Mahwish Yousaf, Tanzeel U. Rehman, Li Jing

The starting point for the rest of the programme: where classical Isomap loses accuracy, and what a corrected neighbourhood graph recovers.

NR-Isomap: An Incremental Approach with Gaussian Process Kernels for Denoising

IEEE 6th International Conference on Big Data and Artificial IntelligenceIEEEFirst author

Mahwish Yousaf, Muhammad Saadat Shakoor Khan, Shamsher Ullah, Shou Wang, Li Jing

Denoising that does not require starting over when new data arrives, combining Hessian LLE with Gaussian-process kernels.
