Theses and Dissertations
This collection contains theses and dissertations of graduate students of the University of Alberta. The collection contains a very large number of theses electronically available that were granted from 1947 to 2009, 90% of theses granted from 2009-2014, and 100% of theses granted from April 2014 to the present (as long as the theses are not under temporary embargo by agreement with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies). IMPORTANT NOTE: To conduct a comprehensive search of all UofA theses granted and in University of Alberta Libraries collections, search the library catalogue at www.library.ualberta.ca - you may search by Author, Title, Keyword, or search by Department.
To retrieve all theses and dissertations associated with a specific department from the library catalogue, choose 'Advanced' and keyword search "university of alberta dept of english" OR "university of alberta department of english" (for example). Past graduates who wish to have their thesis or dissertation added to this collection can contact us at erahelp@ualberta.ca.

A Social Network or Information Network is a structure made up of nodes representing entities, and edges representing the relationships among nodes. Understanding the behaviour of social networks is known as Social Network Analysis (SNA). One of the most important applications of SNA is to find...

Building predictive models with higher predictive performance is the common pursuit in text classification tasks. In almost all domains of text classification problems, the current state-of-the-art models (e.g., Bi-LSTM and BERT) are based on deep neural networks that learn language...

Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) are typically used to learn representations in partially observable environments. Unfortunately, training RNNs is known to be difficult, and the difficulty increases for agents who learn online and continually interact with the environment. Two common strategies...
