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.

3D reconstruction is an important topic in both computer vision and computer graphics. Many techniques have been proposed for objects with Lambertian reflectance. It assumes that the reflected light from the object surface is uniformly distributed in all directions. However, light interacts with...

Simultaneous Localization and Mapping(SLAM) has been very popular in the past and is gaining more traction in the era of autonomous vehicle research and robot manipulation. Computing accurate surface models from sparse Visual SLAM 3D point clouds is difcult. There have been works where...

Virtual-patient simulators play an important role in modern medical education. These simulators provide a safe environment for learning, give contextual feedback to learners, and allow the learner to move beyond the time and space constraints of traditional face-to-face medical instruction. In...

Named Entity Disambiguation (NED) and linking has been traditionally evaluated on natural language content that is both well-written and contextually rich. However, many NED approaches display poor performance on text sources that are short and noisy. In this thesis, we study the problem of...

In Mobile Ad Hoc NETworks (MANETs) autonomous nodes act both as traffic originators and forwarders to form a multi-hop network. Out-of-range nodes are reachable through a process called routing, which is a challenging task due to the constraints of bandwidth and battery power. Stateless...

Answer set programming (ASP), namely logic programming under the answer set semantics, provides a promising constraint programming paradigm, due to its simple syntax, high expressiveness, and effective computational properties. This programming paradigm can be viewed as a variant of SAT. A main...
