Advantage of Integration in Big Data: Feature Generation in Multi-Relational Databases for Imbalanced Learning
DownloadFall 2016
Most data mining and machine learning techniques rely on a single flat table and assume balanced training data. However, most real-world applications comprise databases having multiple tables and imbalanced data. It becomes further complicated in the realm of Big Data where related information is...

Applications of nonautonomous infinite-dimensional systems control theory for parabolic PDEs
DownloadFall 2013
Parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) are used as models of transport-reaction phenomena in a variety of different industrial chemical and materials engineering processes, and can yield precise descriptions of process variables with complex temporal and spatially dependent system...

Developing and Evaluating Algorithms for Fixing Omission and Commission Errors in Structured Data
DownloadFall 2020
The use of machine learning is rapidly rising to deliver a variety of benefits in various domains. However, developing predictive systems often faces many challenges that can drastically delay model deployment. For instance, obtaining labeled training data is one of the most expensive bottlenecks...
