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.

High performance live migration over low-bandwidth, high-delay network with loss prevention
DownloadFall 2010
Virtualization technology has attracted considerable interest. It allows several virtual machines to run concurrently inside a physical host, which brings multiple advantages. One of the most useful features is called live migration, during which a virtual machine can be migrated over network...

High-dimensional data mining: subspace clustering, outlier detection and applications to classification
DownloadSpring 2010
Data mining in high dimensionality almost inevitably faces the consequences of increasing sparsity and declining differentiation between points. This is problematic because we usually exploit these differences for approaches such as clustering and outlier detection. In addition, the exponentially...

Highway Lane change under uncertainty with Deep Reinforcement Learning based motion planner
DownloadSpring 2020
Motion Planning is a fundamental component of a mobile robot to reach its goal safely avoiding collision. For a self-driving car on a highway, the presence of non-communicating vehicles, specially those whose intent is unknown, creates a lot of uncertainty for the motion planner in generating a...

Hindsight Rational Learning for Sequential Decision-Making: Foundations and Experimental Applications
DownloadFall 2022
This thesis develops foundations for the development of dependable, scalable reinforcement learning algorithms with strong connections to game theory. I present a version of rationality for learning---one grounded in the learner's experience and connected with the rationality concepts of...
