Fall 2019
The growth of an organization in the market relies on customer’s satisfaction towards its products and services. Due to the dynamic nature of the internet, and increasing blogs, forums, and customer feedback, it usually remains a key issue in any industry to identify and extract data attributes...

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...

Developing and Evaluating Algorithms for Fixing Omission and Commission Errors in Structured Data
DownloadFall 2020
The use of machine learning is rapidly rising to deliver a variety of benefits in various domains. However, developing predictive systems often faces many challenges that can drastically delay model deployment. For instance, obtaining labeled training data is one of the most expensive bottlenecks...

Fall 2021
Deep neural network (DNN) has been developed rapidly in years. While it shows promising results in various tasks of computer vision, DNN typically suffers from accuracy loss due to the domain shift from a source domain to a target domain. To mitigate the accuracy loss without the label from...

Fall 2015
This study is about a series of operational acts of identification, such as interpretations, categorizations, representations, classifications, through which past materials have acquired their meaning and therefore identity. Furthermore, this meaning-making will be demonstrated always to be...

Integrated Classification of Cannabis Strains Marketed in Canada for Medical Purposes Based on Genetic, Chemical Profiles, and Morphological Traits
DownloadFall 2021
The vernacular naming convention commonly used by the cannabis community (“Sativa” and “Indica”) is inadequate for identifying or selecting strains for clinical research and medicinal production because they are arbitrary and inconsistent. In addition, they mostly contain tetrahydrocannabinol...

Fall 2010
In this dissertation, a hydrologic classification approach was tested using the shape factor of hydrographs to represent variation in streamflow regimes across Alberta. Hydrograph shape factor was effective at separating the forested landbase into 6 spatially distinct regions. Further statistical...

Synchronisation and Wavelet Compression for Background Interference Classification in Wireless Environments
DownloadFall 2017
Dense wireless deployment environments are increasingly facing Radio Frequency (RF) spectrum congestion and increased levels of interference. Addressing the interference will require a distributed decision-making application on wireless nodes, that characterize the state of the channel with...

Fall 2015
Pipeline structures can be subjected to excessive tensile strains due to a variety of environmental agents including but not limited to slope instabilities, seismic forces, freezing and thawing cycle of the permafrost in arctic regions. In addition to environmental and geotechnical effects, large...

Navigating Protective Custody Classification: Examining the Lived Experiences of PC Inmates
DownloadSpring 2019
Classification systems in prisons have consequences in both formal and informal ways for inmates. Protective custody (PC) units are especially unique spaces in which traditionally the most vilified populations – informally often referred to as “skinners, rats, and scaredy cats” – have been...
