ADDRESSING CHALLENGES OF TWITTER FEATURE ENGINEERING FOR MACHINE LEARNING IN DIFFERENT DOMAINS
(2023-08-08)Feature engineering is one of the essential steps in machine learning. It helps to create a better data model and provides reasonable learning results. In natural language processing, feature engineering becomes even more ... -
Addressing Crowded Loneliness: A Recomposed Residential High-Rise Typology
(2024-04-09)The demand for density in today’s urban environment has created the ideal condition for the residential high-rise typology as it increases land density and prevents urban sprawl. However, the rapid implementation of the ... -
Addressing key conservation priorities in a data poor species
(2012-08-23)Conserving biodiversity is suggested to be one of the most important challenges being faced by the global community. The field of conservation biology has been developed to examine the threats that drive species to low ... -
ADDRESSING SUBJECTIVITY IN CODE SMELL DETECTION BY LEVERAGING HUMAN FEEDBACK IN A DEEP-LEARNING-BASED SOLUTION
(2023-12-15)Code smells, being inherently subjective, can vary based on individual software developers' opinions and perspectives. Though many deep-learning-based models have been proposed for code smell detection, they often overlook ... -
Addressing the Demand for Small Arms and Light Weapons in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
(2010-12-15)The conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has been characterized by armed violence carried out against civilian populations. Despite a formal end to hostilities with outside states, numerous cease fire agreements ... -
ADENOSINE AS AN ENVIRONMENTAL STRESSOR AFFECTING HSP27 AND CXCR4 IN EPITHELIAL CELLS
(2013-03-20)Solid tumours are a hostile tissue environment in which the cells are exposed to many stresses including hypoxia. One consequence of hypoxic conditions is an increase in extracellular levels of the purine nucleoside ... -
