Characterization of Business Establishments and Commercial Vehicle Movements Utilizing Machine Learning Techniques in Halifax, Canada
(2024-04-15)This thesis develops a commercial vehicle travel demand forecasting model. First, it characterizes business establishments to investigate the agglomeration of businesses. Next, it develops location choice models for five ... -
COUGAR: A System for Clustering Unknown Malware Using Genetic Algorithm Routines
(2020-12-08)Malicious software is a persistent threat across our digital platforms. With unending malware growth, and increasingly higher profile attacks, organizations across the world are ramping up their cyber defence capabili ... -
FAST CLUSTERING WITH NOISE REMOVAL FOR LARGE DATASETS
(2017-09-01)Availability of large temporal data enabled by improved collection tools and storage devices has posed a new set of challenges in data mining, especially in the area of clustering data into different groups according to ... -
Fast K-Means Clustering Via K-D Trees, Sampling, and Parallelism
(2019-08-29)K-means is a commonly used method for clustering in applications that require fast response time due to its speed. As data becomes large (millions of data points), the classical implementation may not achieve the performance ... -
Identifying Factors Influencing Electronic Gaming Machine Player Behavior Using Interpretable AI and Mimicking Player Behavior Using Reinforcement Learning
(2022-12-06)People in venues like casinos play games on Electronic Gaming Machines (EGMs). These machines do not record information about players, such as their playing experience. The gaming industry is keen on learning about the ... -
INFERRING ORTHOLOGOUS RELATIONSHIPS AND GENE TRANSFER IN MICROBIAL GENOMES AND METAGENOMES
(2019-11-28)Interest in microbial life and the progress of DNA sequencing technology has led to thousands of sequenced bacterial genomes. In this thesis I develop approaches to identify Lateral Gene Transfer (LGT) in metagenomes, ... -
Interactive text analytics for document clustering
(2018-12-12)Clustering has been widely used to efficiently get insight into text collections containing more documents than a human can effectively read. Although there exist several different document clustering algorithms, most of ... -
A Multi-Depot Crew Routing Optimization for Post-Disaster Service Restoration
(2017-04-21)After any natural disaster, thousands of customers may get disconnected from the supply of electricity. To deal with the after effect of such calamity, the power utility companies will need to allocate the PLTs to the ... -
Multi-Modal Consensus Clustering to Identify Phenotypes of Kidney Transplant Donors and Recipients and Their Association With Survival
(2022-11-18)Kidney transplantation is an essential treatment option for individuals diagnosed with End-stage renal disease (ESRD). Being able to predict the survival of the transplant and the outcome of the recipient is an important ... -
NEIGHBORHOOD CLUSTERING TO ANALYSE ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE IN BACTERIAL GENOMES
(2021-08-19)Valuable insight into gene function and evolution can be obtained by analysing the order of genes in prokaryotic genomes, as neighboring genes often share related functions and evolutionary histories. Obtaining precise ... -
Towards a Label-Free and Representation-Based Metric for Evaluating Machine Learning Models
(2022-08-04)In this work, we explore the viability of proposed label-free metrics to evaluate models. We begin by examining the effect on linear probe accuracy which different viable label schemes on an identical dataset may cause. ... -
TOWARDS A SECURE AND ENERGY EFFICIENT WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK USING BLOCKCHAIN AND A NOVEL CLUSTERING APPROACH
(2018-08-08)This work proposes a Blockchain based protocol suite for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) to achieve service availability, immutability, and network transparency. It adopts a co-operative multiple Base Station system that ...
