Data augmentation is a strong tool for enhancing the performance of deep learning models using different techniques to increase both the quantity and diversity of training data. Cutout was previously proposed, in the context of image classification, as a simple regularization technique that...

The word “sustainability” implies simply that something can be continued. From the textile industry perspective, sustainability refers to environmental and social responsibility. In other words, the textile industry must not harm the natural environment or the people who produce, or use, its...

Traditionally, the cycles and steps involved with doing a load of laundry have been predictable and not very complicated. But just as new technologies have changed how people work and communicate, new laundry machines and detergents have become increasingly sophisticated and complex to...

A study of the chemical and physical properties of Syncrude's tailings pond, Mildred Lake, 1980
Download1981
Selected chemical and physical properties of the tailings pond were examined in 1980. The distributions of specific variables with depth and season within the tailings pond were determined (temperature, pH, conductivity, suspended particulate matter, total solids, bitumen, major anions, major...

A Universal Approximation Theorem for Tychonoff Spaces with Application to Spaces of Probability and Finite Measures
DownloadFall 2022
Universal approximation refers to the property of a collection of functions to approximate continuous functions. Past literature has demonstrated that neural networks are dense in continuous functions on compact subsets of finite-dimensional spaces, and this document extends those findings to...

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...

Most textile items are expected to maintain their properties over time, and thus, exhibit durability. Durability extends to mechanical integrity, color, and additional properties conferred by textile finishes. The durability of color is routinely measured in colorfastness tests, many of which are...

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...
