  • Personalized information management systems with tutorial capabilities

    Creator:
    Oman, Paul W.
    Abstract:
    Technological advances of the last three decades have caused an enormous increase in the amount of published and unpublished information generated by our society. This inflation has created the need for improved information management systems. Existing systems are inadequate primarily because they are discipline-oriented and lack the flexibility that is...

  • Optimal unidirectional error-detecting codes

    Creator:
    Converse, George A.
    Abstract:
    Various problems related to systematic error-detecting and error-correcting unidirectional codes are discussed. Systematic codes with r check bits are the main topic of the thesis. Classes of codes are presented which work for specific numbers of information bits and then a class of codes is given which detects the same...

  • Effectiveness of index size reduction techniques

    Creator:
    Jacobson, Bryan L.
    Abstract:
    Index size savings from three techniques are measured. The three techniques are: 1) eliminating common, low information words found in a "stop list" (such as: of, the, at, etc.), 2) truncating terms by eliminating word stems (such as: -s, -ed, -ing, etc.), and 3) simple data compression. Savings are measured...

  • Collaborative filtering with probability and collaborative filtering with privacy

    Creator:
    Yang, Min
    Abstract:
    "Collaborative filtering has seen considerable success in the areas regarding information overload and e-commerce, while the current developed systems are flawed in several respects. Two approaches, the distribution-based algorithm and the blurring profile solution, are proposed to address several outstanding issues. The main findings of this research include: • The...

  • An empirical study into learning through experimentation

    Creator:
    Ruff, Ritchey Alvin
    Abstract:
    A key aspect of how we understand the world revolves around an ability to manipulate our surroundings to experiment. From the scientific method through theories of child development, the ability to experiment is deemed critical; however, few studies have been performed to understand the strengths and weaknesses of different experimental...

  • A dataflow mechanism for supporting query optimization

    Creator:
    Kalvin, Patricia M.
    Abstract:
    The objective of this thesis is to develop a tool which can be used to implement query processing algorithms produced by a query optimizer. The tool should have the following properties: (1) it should support a description of the query solution in a dataflow-like language, (2) it should support data...

  • Classification context in a machine learning approach to predicting protein secondary structure

    Creator:
    Langford, Bill T.
    Abstract:
    An important problem in molecular biology is to predict the secondary structure of proteins from their primary structure. The primary structure of a protein is the sequence of amino acid residues. The secondary structure is an abstract description of the shape of the folded protein, with regions identified as alpha...

  • Information theory metric for assembly language

    Creator:
    Cook, Curtis R.
    Abstract:
    This paper presents a study of the distribution of assembly language instructions in two avionics software applications and the development of an information theoretic software complexity metric based on the study. The instructions were grouped into classes , e.g. load and store, arithmetic, jump, compare, etc. As expected the distribution...

  • Similarity-based real-time concurrency control protocols

    Creator:
    Lai, Chih
    Abstract:
    Serializability is unnecessarily strict for real-time systems because most transactions in such systems occur periodically and changes among data values over a few consecutive periods are often insignificant. Hence, data values produced within a short interval can be treated as if they are "similar" and interchangeable. This notion of similarity...

  • Understanding and improving error-correcting output coding

    Creator:
    Kong, Eun Bae
    Abstract:
    Error-correcting output coding (ECOC) is a method for converting a k-classsupervised learning problem into a large number L of two-class supervised learningproblems and then combining the results of these L evaluations. Previous researchhas shown that ECOC can dramatically improve the classi cation accuracy of supervisedlearning algorithms that learn to classify...
