  • A factoring approach for probabilistic inference in belief networks

    Creator:
    Li, Zhaoyu
    Abstract:
    Reasoning about any realistic domain always involves a degree of uncertainty. Probabilistic inference in belief networks is one effective way of reasoning under uncertainty. Efficiency is critical in applying this technique, and many researchers have been working on this topic. This thesis is the report of our research in this...

  • Investigation of automatic construction of reactive controllers

    Creator:
    Westerberg, Caryl J.
    Abstract:
    In real-time control systems, the value of a control decision depends not only on the correctness of the decision but also on the time when that decision is available. Recent work in real-time decision making has used machine learning techniques to automatically construct reactive controllers, that is, controllers with little...

  • Optimization of seasonal irrigation scheduling by genetic algorithms

    Creator:
    Canpolat, Necati
    Abstract:
    In this work, we first introduce a novel approach to the long term irrigation scheduling using Genetic Algorithms (GAs). We explore the effectiveness of GAs in the context of optimizing nonlinear crop models and describe application requirements and implementation of the technique. GAs were found to converge quickly to near-optimal...

  • Optimal inference with local expressions

    Creator:
    Borujerdi, Mohammad
    Abstract:
    Probabilistic inference using Bayesian networks is now a well-established approach for reasoning under uncertainty. Among many e ciency-driven tech- niques which have been developed, the Optimal Factoring Problem (OFP) is distinguished for presenting a combinatorial optimization point of view on the problem. The contribution of this thesis is to extend...

  • Effectiveness of integration of internet technologies in support of teaching and learning computer science programming

    Creator:
    Hajebi, Mojgan
    Abstract:
    In spite of wide spread adoption of the internet technology in teaching and learning, little research exists on the use and the effect of web incorporation in teaching and learning. Immediate clarification of how, when, and for whom the web integration in education is beneficial is needed. This qualitative study...

  • Sliding-mode control of the super maneuverable aircraft

    Creator:
    Koo, Chang Sul
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, A nonlinear methodology for the control of the highly maneuverable, high performance aircraft HARV (F-18) is studied by using sliding-mode control (SMC). This control law, which takes a continuous function when the input constraints are not considered, satisfies the reachability condition by which concerned states are driven...

  • Resource placement, data rearrangement, and Hamiltonian cycles in torus networks

    Creator:
    Bae, Myung Mun
    Abstract:
    Many parallel machines, both commercial and experimental, have been/are being designed with toroidal interconnection networks. For a given number of nodes, the torus has a relatively larger diameter, but better cost/performance tradeoffs, such as higher channel bandwidth, and lower node degree, when compared to the hypercube. Thus, the torus is...

  • Machine learning in engineering : techniques to speed up numerical optimization

    Creator:
    Cerbone, G. (Giuseppe)
    Abstract:
    Many important application problems in engineering can be formalized as nonlinear optimization tasks. However, numerical methods for solving such problems are brittle and do not scale well. For example, these methods depend critically on choosing a good starting point from which to perform the optimization search. In high-dimensional spaces, numerical...
