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.

Image Registration with Homography: A Refresher with Differentiable Mutual Information, Ordinary Differential Equation and Complex Matrix Exponential
DownloadFall 2020
This work presents a novel method of tackling the task of image registration. Our algorithm uses a differentiable form of Mutual Information implemented via a neural network called MINE. An important property of neural networks is them being differentiable, which allows them to be used as a loss...

Photo-realistic renderings of humans are required for real-time graphics applications, and accurate human models are useful in applications such as model-based tracking. Non-rigid deformations of humans, e.g., deforming cloth and muscle bulging, are hard to model geometrically and are inefficient...

Fall 2023
Explainable artificial intelligence models are becoming increasingly important as restrictions grow for corporate use of blackbox models whose predictions affect people’s lives and yet cannot be interpreted. Black boxes do not convey trust to end-users and are difficult to train and debug for...
