“Moving in Data”: The Open Data Gaze as a form of Municipal Statecraft in the Entrepreneurial City
DownloadFall 2022
Globally speaking, data-driven urbanism is on the rise. As data becomes more readily available and important in contemporary economies, municipal governments are adopting new ways of managing and planning cities. By transforming themselves via urban data, cities can position themselves to be...

Density-based clustering methods extract high density clusters which are separated by regions of lower density. HDBSCAN* is an existing algorithm for producing a density-based cluster hierarchy. To obtain clusters from this hierarchy it includes an instance of FOSC(Framework for Optimal Selection...

Application of Machine Learning in the Big Data for Broiler Breeders Recorded by a Precision Feeding System
DownloadSpring 2021
A precision feeding (PF) system developed at the University of Alberta is an innovation in precise nutrition and management for broiler breeders. The PF system can automatically feed individual broiler breeders and record vast amounts of real-time data regarding the feeding activity of individual...

In this thesis, we present some approximation algorithms for the following clustering problems: Minimum Sum of Radii (MSR), Minimum Sum of Diameters (MSD), and Unsplittable Capacitated Facility Location. Given a metric (V, d) and an integer k, we consider the problem of partitioning the points...

In this thesis, we consider two closely related clustering problems, Min Sum k-Clustering (MSkC) and Balanced k-Median (BkM). In Min Sum k-clustering, one is given a graph and a parameter k, and has to partition the vertices in the graph into k clusters to minimize the sum of pairwise distances...

In this thesis, we present Approximation Schemes for the Min Sum k Clustering problem on a number of classes of graph metrics. In Min Sum k Clustering problem introduced by Sahni and Gonzalez [22] in 1976, given a graph G(V, E) with metric edge costs and parameter k, we are asked to partition V...

Due to its wide application in various fields, clustering, as a fundamental unsupervised learning problem, has been intensively investigated over the past few decades. Unfortunately, standard clustering formulations are known to be computationally intractable. Although many convex relaxations of...
