    Abstract:
    Approximate string matching is commonly used to align genetic sequences (DNA or RNA) to determine their shared characteristics. In contrast with the standard dynamic programming methods which use local edit distance models, the Walking Tree heuristic method was created to handle non-local changes, e.g., translocations, inversions, and duplications, altogether and...

    Creator:
    Zhang, Yifang
    Abstract:
    Urban green space is associated with multiple physical and mental health outcomes. Several benefits of green space, such as stress reduction and attention restoration, are dependent on visual perception of green space exposures. However, traditional green space exposure measures do not capture street-level exposures. In this project, we apply deep...
