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.

Natural language inference, also known as NLI, aims to determine the logical relationship between two sentences, such as Entailment, Contradiction, and Neutral. NLI is important to natural language processing, because it involves logical reasoning and is a key problem in artificial intelligence....

Deep neural networks (DNN) have emerged as the state-of-the-art method in several research areas. DNN is yet to fully permeate resource-constrained computing platforms, such as mobile phones. Accurate DNN models being deeper and wider take considerable memory and time to execute on small devices...

Knowledge graphs are an important source of information used in a number of applications including web search, online shopping, social networking, and chatbots. They are an effective way of storing real-world data in a machine-readable format. As a result, the construction of comprehensive,...

NeuroSketcher: Synthesizing Non-Differentiable Programs with Non-Differentiable Loss Functions
DownloadFall 2023
Programmatic hypotheses offer valuable properties, such as generalizability and interpretability. However, such hypotheses can be elusive, as one finds them by searching over large spaces of programs. Recent work showed that neural networks can be used to guide the search in the programmatic...

In this thesis, I study the methods to solve an NP-hard problem, minimum weighted latency problem (MWLP). The well-studied NP-hard problem minimum latency problem (MLP) can be seen as a special case of MLWP. I introduce the motivation of studying MWLP at the beginning. After describing the...

The performance of reinforcement learning (RL) agents is sensitive to the choice of hyperparameters. In real-world settings like robotics or industrial control systems, however, testing different hyperparameter configurations directly on the environment can be financially prohibitive, dangerous,...
