  • Analytical Methods for Improving Causal Inference

    Creator:
    Sinha, Meghamala
    Abstract:
    Causal inference is an important analytical tool to bridge the gap between prediction and decision-making. However, learning a causal network solely from data is a challenging task. In this work, various techniques have been explored for a better and improved causal network learning from data. Firstly, the problem of learning...

  • Computational Elucidation of the Regulatory SNPs in the Non-Coding Regions of the Human Genome

    Creator:
    Yao, Yao
    Abstract:
    We describe a series of novel computational models, CERENKOV (Computational Elucidation of the REgulatory NonKOding Variome) and its successors CERENKOV2, CERENKOV3, and Convolutional CERENKOV3, for discriminating regulatory single nucleotide polymorphisms (rSNPs) from non-regulatory SNPs within non-coding genetic loci. The CERENKOV models are designed for recognizing rSNPs in the context of...

  • Variant Annotation

    Creator:
    He, Jun
    Abstract:
    With the development of technologies in genome sequencing and variant detection, a huge number of variants are detected. To further analyze the variants, it requires an efficient tool to annotate the functional effect of variants. This project managed to develop an efficient program to annotate the functional effect of variants...

  • Exploration of regression models for cancer noncoding mutation recurrence

    Creator:
    Xu, Tanjin
    Abstract:
    An important impact of the genome technology revolution will be the elucidation of mechanisms of cancer pathogenesis, leading to improvements in the diagnosis of cancer and the selection of cancer treatment. Integrated with current well-studied massive knowledge and findings about the role of protein-coding mutations in cancer, demystifying the functional...

  • A fast division algorithm

    Creator:
    Dum, Stephen Anthony
    Abstract:
    A radix 2n non-restoring division algorithm is described. The algorithm is designed to be compatible with hardware multiprecision multiplication methods currectly used in high speed digital computers. This enables the use of the same hardware, with only changes in control logic, to be used to implement both multiplication and division....

  • AOPS : an abstraction oriented programming system for literate programming

    Creator:
    Shum, Stephen M.
    Abstract:
    The practice of literate programming is not widespread because existing literate programming systems have some undesirable characteristics such as programming language and text processor dependence and lack of flexible tools for viewing and manipulation of the source file. This dissertation describes the literate programming system AOPS (Abstraction Oriented Programming System)...

  • On asymmetric error-correcting codes

    Creator:
    Cunningham, Robert Stephen
    Abstract:
    Historically, coding theory has dealt with binary codes correcting symmetric errors, in which errors are made in both 0 and 1 bits with equal likelihood. Within the past ten years, some study has been made of asymmetric codes, under the assumption that the only errors which occur are errors in...

  • Machine Learning Methods for the Discovery and Analysis of MicroRNAs

    Creator:
    Bell, Jimmy D.
    Abstract:
    MicroRNAs are a highly conserved class of small endogenous RNA, about ~22nt in length, involved in post-transcriptional gene silencing and have prominent roles in disease and development. Though the process of microRNA discovery was once an arduous task, the advent of high throughput sequencing technology has resulted in novel microRNAs...

  • Trip Poll: Plan before you ride

    Creator:
    Baisetti, Rama Krishna
    Abstract:
    People like going on trips with friends and tend to plan their trips well in advance to have the best possible experience of a destination and get the most out of the places they visit and/or the activities they plan to partake in. Right now, the Internet provides a wealth...
