Answer typing is an important aspect of the question answering process. Most commonly addressed with the use of a fixed set of possible answer classes via question classification, answer typing influences which answers will ultimately be selected as correct. Answer typing introduces the concept...

Many important problems can be cast as state-space problems. In this dissertation we study a general paradigm for solving state-space problems which we name Cluster-and-Conquer (C&C). Algorithms that follow the C&C paradigm use the concept of equivalent states to reduce the number of states...

Algorithmic decipherment is a prime example of a truly unsupervised problem. This thesis presents several algorithms developed for the purpose of decrypting unknown alphabetic scripts representing unknown languages. We assume that symbols in scripts which contain no more than a few dozen unique...

Coordination and Optimization of Power Distribution Systems with Stochastic Distributed Energy Resources using Artificial Intelligence
DownloadSpring 2021
High levels of penetration of distributed photovoltaic generators can cause serious overvoltage issues, especially during periods of high power generation and light loads. It is of vital importance to gain more understanding of the system and to prepare mitigation plans before the number of PV...

Data-Driven and Artificial Intelligence Approach to Dynamic Truck Fleet Dispatching and Shovel Allocation Planning in Open-Pit Mines
DownloadFall 2023
An open-pit mine is a highly dynamic environment where different equipment resources are allocated to mining areas to extract metal-bearing rock and waste, for pit development, following a set flow of activities. The material mined is then transported through the mine road network to different...

Heuristic search has been shown to be an effective way to solve state-space problems. While many heuristic search techniques are guaranteed to find the best solution, these are often not feasible given practical resource requirements. In such cases, it is necessary to sacrifice solution...

Developing Hybrid Artificial Intelligence Model for Construction Labour Productivity Prediction and Optimization
DownloadFall 2021
Construction labour productivity (CLP) is considered one of the most important parameters affecting the performance of construction projects. Therefore, modeling CLP is a crucial step in construction projects. Accurate prediction of CLP helps in effective planning, cost estimating, and...

Development of AI-based ergonomics risk assessment tools for harmonization of industrial work systems
DownloadFall 2023
Manufacturing industry workers face significant ergonomic risks due to poorly designed work systems. Consequently, it is crucial to periodically assess work systems to identify areas for improvement. However, the assessment process is often disregarded due to the absence of userfriendly...

Fall 2019
Artificial agents have been shown to learn to communicate when needed to complete a cooperative task. Some level of language structure (e.g., compositionality) has been found in the learned communication protocols. This observed structure is often the result of specific environmental pressures...
