Active labeling in deep learning and its application to emotion prediction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)Recent breakthroughs in deep learning have made possible the learning of deep layered hierarchical representations of sensory input. Stacked restricted Boltzmann machines (RBMs), also called deep belief networks (DBNs), ... -
Activity identification from animal GPS tracks with spatial temporal clustering method DDB-SMoT
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)With various GPS devices or services growing rapidly, large amount of GPS track- ing data has been collected, both for human beings and wild animals. However, the raw GPS data cannot directly provide us with any valuable ... -
Adaptive bilateral extensor for image interpolation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)A novel algorithm for image interpolation, referred to as adaptive bilateral extensor interpolation, is proposed in this thesis. It combines useful features of an extensor based algorithm, utilizing a non-linear mapping ... -
Adaptive clustering and transmission range adjustment for topology control in wireless sensor networks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)A wireless sensor network (WSN) is characterized by a limited energy supply and a large number of nodes. Topology control (TC) as one of the main ways to control energy consumption in WSNs has been the focus of a considerable ... -
An adaptive non-polling HCCA mechanism for streaming video QOS in IEEE 802.11E network
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)Deployment of wireless networks has risen rapidly in the last decade thanks to their convenience and flexibility. Meanwhile, multimedia service has grown to be the main part of the network traffic. As a result, Quality of ... -
Algorithm design and error analysis of quantized RSSI based localization in wireless sensor networks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)Wireless Sensor Network localization is an important aspect in sensor network applications such as tracking and monitoring. The general goal of localization is to obtain the best position estimation of each node under the ... -
Algorithm for computation and visualization of weighted constrained Voronoi diagrams
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)A weighted Voronoi diagram (WVD) has been developed in order to regionalize or allocate space around a predetermined set of points or generators for the case that generator points have different weights reflecting their ... -
An algorithm for the automatic construction of Bayesian networks with limited domain knowledge, as applied to the prediction of economic and development indicators of 248 countries and world regions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Humans have a natural tendency to express knowledge in terms of generalities, instead of individually measurable variables. However, to make for computers to make sense of a domain, information must be expressed in terms ... -
Analysis of flame images in gas-fired furnaces
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)A promising architecture is proposed in this research work for evaluating gasfired furnace flame combustion quality. The quality assessment is based on information on its fuel and oxidizer flow rate level which are the ... -
Analysis of the enzymatic network
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)A biochemical network is very large, complex system with very diverse components. In order to study the behavior of networks, the first step is to study their architecture. Studying network architecture raises many basic ... -
Animal stay region detection and behavior analysis based on GPS trajectories

App chaining software-as-a-service for an advanced manufacturing marketplace
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Advances in the field of cloud computing and networking have led to development of Marketplaces (e.g., Awesim) that support Advanced Manufacturing enterprises consisting of Apps. These Marketplaces host Apps that perform ... -
Appearance modeling for persistent object tracking in wide-area and full motion video
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Abstract: Object tracking is a core element of computer vision and autonomous systems. As such single and multiple object tracking has been widely investigated especially for full motion video sequences. The acquisition ... -
Application of deep learning networks to crime prediction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)Crimes are a major public concern in cities. Every day, a tremendous amount of law enforcement and policemen have been assigned to patrol and protect society from crimes of violence. With limited law enforcement resources ... -
An application of machine learning techniques to interactive, constraint-based search
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)Search engine users frequently place additional constraints on search results that are not included in the user's original query. To respond to these additional constraints, search engine designers frequently add an "advanced ... -
Application-driven overlay network as a service for data-intensive science
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)Campuses are increasingly adopting hybrid cloud architectures for supporting data-intensive science applications that require "on-demand" resources, which are not always available locally on-site. Policies at the campus ... -
Applying visual routines in a cognitive model of visual analysis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)Through years of experience, expert image analysts acquire knowledge which allows them to perform an in-depth analysis of images quickly and efficiently. This research aims to build a humanlike framework and cognitive model ... -
Architecting the spatial enablement of a film location database for enhanced geographic analysis and query
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)The Missouri Film Commission hosts data and resources that producers of film and video need in order to choose locations. This data includes only text-based information with addresses being an example. This web-based film ... -
