Processing of oil sands ores to extract bitumen generates large volumes of tailings which are deposited into large settling basins, where the solids settle by gravity over 3-4 years to become mature fine tailings (MFT). Methanogenesis has been correlated with increased water recovery from and...

Learning about many things can provide numerous benefits to a reinforcement learning system. For example, learning many auxiliary value functions, in addition to optimizing the environmental reward, appears to improve both exploration and representation learning. The question we tackle in this...

Monte Carlo methods are a simple, effective, and widely deployed way of approximating integrals that prove too challenging for deterministic approaches. This thesis presents a number of contributions to the field of adaptive Monte Carlo methods. That is, approaches that automatically adjust the...

In model-based reinforcement learning, an agent can improve its policy by planning: learning from experience generated by a model. Search control is the problem of determining which starting state should be used to generate this experience. Given a limited planning budget, an agent should be...

Addressing the Challenges of Applying Machine Learning for Predicting Mental Disorders and Their Prognosis Using Two Case Studies
DownloadSpring 2019
Ghoreishiamiri, Seyedehreyhaneh
One of the principal applications of machine learning in psychiatry is to build automated tools that can help clinicians predict the diagnosis and prognosis of mental disorders using available data from patients’ profiles. Here, in two different studies, we investigate ways to use machine learn-...

An approach for Evaluating the Full Truck and Full Bucket Loading Strategies in Open-Pit Mining Using a Discrete Event Simulation and Machine Learning
DownloadFall 2022
Material loading and hauling are crucial factors in the mining industry, comprising over 50% of the costs. Many studies covered optimization and improving the efficiency of truck-shovel operations. Decreasing operating costs is vital for mining companies to remain profitable and feasible....

An Empirical Study on Learning and Improving the Search Objective for Unsupervised Paraphrasing
DownloadSpring 2022
Research in unsupervised text generation has been gaining attention over the years. One recent approach is local search towards a heuristically defined objective, which specifies language fluency, semantic meanings, and other task-specific attributes. Search in the sentence space is realized by...

The predictive representations hypothesis is that representing the state of the world in terms of predictions about the future will result in good generalization. In this thesis, good generalization is specifically quantified by good learning performance in both accuracy and speed when predicting...
