  • Horizontally curved beam analysis and design

    Creator:
    Wong, Yee-chit
    Abstract:
    This paper is a theoretical approach to solve problems of horizontally curved beams Castiglione's theorem is applied to solve for the fixed end bending moments, maximum span moments and fixed end torsional moments. To calculate the vertical deflection at the midspan of the curved beam the moment-area method is used....

  • Effect of processing methods on the chemical and physical properties of soybean milks

    Creator:
    Wong, Millie Miu-yee
    Abstract:
    In the present study, processed soymilks prepared by various manufacturing methods were examined for quality by physical and chemical methods. Viscosity, pH, soluble solids, total solids, fat and protein content were used as indicators of quality. The principal factor investigated was the protein content as measured by the dye-binding procedure....

  • Rare category detection using hierarchical mean shift

    Creator:
    Vatturi, Pavan Kumar
    Abstract:
    Many applications in surveillance, monitoring, scientific discovery, and data cleaning require the identification of anomalies. Although many methods have been developed to identify statistically significant anomalies, a more difficult task is to identify anomalies that are both interesting and statistically significant. Category detection is an emerging area of machine learning...

  • Defining leisure and recreation in Malaysia

    Creator:
    Wong, Jenny Lai Ping
    Abstract:
    The fundamental aim of this study was to determine how Malaysians define both leisure and recreation. Two ethnic groups, Chinese and Malays, and rural and urban variants of these groups were included in the sample. The other objective was to determine if there were differences in the definitions due to...

  • Active Learning from Examples, Queries and Explanations

    Creator:
    Hamidi-Haines, Mandana
    Abstract:
    Humans are remarkably efficient in learning by interacting with other people and observing their behavior. Children learn by watching their parents’ actions and mimic their behavior. When they are not sure about their parents demonstration, they communicate with them, ask questions, and learn from their feedback. On the other hand,...

  • The role of manganese peroxidase in biomass conversion technologies

    Creator:
    Yee, Kelsey L.
    Abstract:
    Currently, the technologies used to separate lignocellulosic biomass into its component parts (cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin) and enzymatically hydrolyze the cellulose to glucose for conversion to ethanol could be improved economically and in terms of efficiency. A major impediment to utilizing the biomass is the presence of residual lignin. The...

  • Houses along fourth street

    Creator:
    Yee, Ann L.
    Abstract:
    This thesis consists of four short stories and Chapter 1 of a novel in progress. Each of the four stories are thematically linked through a common protagonist, Nancy, and through a relatively chronological following of events in her life. I chose to tell Nancy's stories in an attempt to gain...

  • Effective decision-theoretic assistance through relational hierarchical models

    Creator:
    Natarajan, Sriraam
    Abstract:
    Building intelligent computer assistants has been a long-cherished goal of AI. Many intelligent assistant systems were built and fine-tuned to specific application domains. In this work, we develop a general model of assistance that combines three powerful ideas: decision theory, hierarchical task models and probabilistic relational languages. We use the...

  • Investigating Latent State and Uncertainty Representations in Reinforcement Learning

    Creator:
    Koul, Anurag
    Abstract:
    Learning latent space representations of high-dimensional world states has been at the core of recent rapid growth in reinforcement learning(RL). At the same time, RL algo- rithms have suffered from ignored uncertainties in the predicted estimates of model-free or model-based methods. In our work, we investigate both of these aspects...

  • Individual Fairness Optimization in Machine Learning with Minimax Loss and an Abstain Option

    Creator:
    Behnoudfar, Ali
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, a new learning algorithm is introduced that is targeted towards individual fairness. In order to be individually fair, mispredictions need to be avoided as each such prediction means the learning algorithm was unfair towards some individual. Therefore, achieving individual fairness implies having a perfect classifier, which is...
