This dissertation relies on the wager that we live in an age in which seemingly archaic religious symbols contribute to how people orient themselves, respond to, and explain things in the world. Drawing from Paul Ricoeur’s early texts on religion, symbolism, evil, and defilement, I analyze three...

The demand for large dataset and demand of privacy protection are in constantly conflicts as the balance between the two is hard to keep. Differential privacy is a mathematical rigor definition that provides the balance bewteen these two opposite sides. It's developed with the purpose of making...

Determining Project Contingency Reserve Using a Fuzzy Arithmetic-Based Risk Analysis Method

Fateminia, Seyed Hamed, Siraj, Nasir Bedewi, Fayek, Aminah Robinson, Johnston, Andrew
Traditional techniques for estimating contingency reserve fail to capture subjective uncertainties and expert knowledge, and they rely on historical data. This paper proposes a fuzzy risk analysis model (FRAM) that uses fuzzy arithmetic to analyze risk and opportunity events and determine...

In this thesis we introduce a new loss for regression, the Histogram Loss. There is some evidence that, in the problem of sequential decision making, estimating the full distribution of return offers a considerable gain in performance, even though only the mean of that distribution is used in...

The unique nature of construction projects and the uncertainties encountered during project execution make construction a highly-risk prone industry. Risks on construction projects (especially large-scale projects) are extremely complex and highly dynamic, and substantial interrelationships exist...

Hybrid fuzzy system dynamics model for analyzing the impacts of interrelated risk and opportunity events on project contingency
Download2020-07-23
Siraj, Nasir B., Fayek, Aminah Robinson
Traditional risk analysis techniques are ineffective for capturing the dynamic causal interactions and subjective uncertainties involved in assessing risk and opportunity events since they treat risks independently and rely on the availability of sufficient historical data. In this paper, a...

Project risks and uncertainties cause unpredictable project performance. This research intended to demonstrate that project control can be improved with the proceeding of a project, by exploiting new, available project information, and reducing uncertainties. The purpose of this study was to...

Game theoretic solution concepts, such as Nash equilibrium strategies that are optimal against worst case opponents, provide guidance in finding desirable autonomous agent behaviour. In particular, we wish to approximate solutions to complex, dynamic tasks, such as negotiation or bidding in...
