Wearable sensing analysis : identifying alcohol drinking from daily physiological data
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
In practical psychology research, questionnaires and interviews with examinees are commonly used. Besides, to study about certain human behaviors such as our subject -- alcohol drinking craving, it usually lasts for several ...
Template-based methods for protein model quality assessment
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Protein structure prediction is an important open problem in the bioinformatics filed. One of the difficulties of solving this problem is to develop ...
Design and implementation of orthopedic trauma surgery rehabilitation and health monitoring system (OTSRS)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)

AMD, analysis of mood dysregulation : a machine learning approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
There is a popular saying, "Stress kills." This statement can be true with repeated exposures to psychological mood dysregulation, which can lead to or worsen stress related conditions such as heart disease and cancer. ...
Applications of deep neural networks to protein structure prediction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Protein secondary structure, backbone torsion angle and other secondary structure features can provide useful information for protein 3D structure prediction and protein functions. Deep learning offers a new opportunity ...
Physiological data analysis -- alcohol drinking prediction using statistical and deep learning methods
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
Alcohol craving can cause many problems for people's life. However, there are very few related works doing alcohol prediction based on physiological data, except some from our lab. The goal of this research is to predict ...
Acoustic feature-based sentiment analysis of call center data
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
With the advancement of machine learning methods, audio sentiment analysis has become an active research area in recent years. For example, business organizations are interested in persuasion tactics from vocal cues and ...
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 ...
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 ...
Empirical study of deep neural network architectures for protein secondary structure prediction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
Protein secondary structure prediction is a sub-problem of protein structure prediction. Instead of fully recovering the whole three dimensional structure from amino acid sequence, protein secondary structure prediction ...
Deep learning for small object detection in images
