Automated essay scoring (AES) has emerged as a secondary or as a sole marker for many high-stakes educational assessments due to remarkable advances in feature engineering using natural language processing, machine learning, and deep learning algorithms. The purpose of the study was to compare...

With the booming development of the Internet, the amount of data stored in databases are enormously growing. Databases retrieve relevant information in response to users’ queries; the retrieved information is encoded in dynamically generated by databases in the form of structured data records. As...

The ability to adaptively respond to changing environments is a fundamental aspect of intelligent behaviour. From catching a ball in motion to changing one’s mind in the face of new information, adaptation requires several key cognitive mechanisms, such as the flexible integration of sensorimotor...

Most machine learning problems can be posed as solving a mathematical program that describes the structure of the prediction problem, usually expressed in terms of carefully chosen losses and regularizers. However, many machine learning problems yield mathematical programs that are not convex in...

Imperfect information games model many large-scale real-world problems. Hex is the classic two-player zero-sum no-draw connection game where each player wants to join their two sides. Dark Hex is an imperfect information version of Hex in which each player sees only their own moves. Finding Nash...

In this thesis, we investigate applying deep learning techniques to learn the win-loss-draw results contained in the databases of the checkers-playing program CHINOOK. Our initial objectives were to (1) compare a deep-learning-based compression scheme versus the custom algorithm used in CHINOOK,...

The appearance of an image projected by a projector onto an arbitrary surface has the potential to appear differently depending on several factors, e.g., the properties of the surface being projected on, the colors of the light projected by the projector and the colors and the optical properties...

Corner cleaning is a critical step after welding of window frames to ensure aesthetic quality. Current methods to clean weld seams are limited in adaptability and quality, increasing rework, cost, and waste. This is largely attributable to the use of CNC cutting machines in combination with...

Knowledge graphs are data storage structures that rely on principles from graph theory to represent information. Specifically, facts are stored as triples which bring together two entities via a predicate. In a graphical context, these entities are analogous to nodes, and the relations between...

The rate of 30-day hospital readmission is a common measurement of hospital quality, which can affect the funding a hospital receives. Over a quarter of readmissions are estimated to be preventable with adequate interventions, but these interventions are themselves costly. For this reason, many...
