A fast multiple longest common subsequence (MLCS) algorithm
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Finding the longest common subsequence (LCS) of multiple strings is an NP-hard problem, with many applications in the areas of bioinformatics and ...
An approach to clustering biological phenotypes /
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
-dimensional data. Finding clusters in the entire space of high-dimensional data (HDD) is a challenging task, because the relative distances between any two objects converge to zero with increasing dimensionality. Additionally, real data may not be mathematically...
Estimation and tracking of elder activity levels for health event prediction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Significant declines in quality of life for elders in assisted living communities are typically triggered by health events. Given the necessary ...
New consensus-based algorithms for quality assessment in protein structure prediction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Two of the essential tasks in protein tertiary structure prediction are predicting quality and selecting the best quality model from given model structures. Finding solutions to these problems are fundamental to understanding ...
Wireless sensor network aided search and rescue in trails
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
experimental results to compare the performances of different methods and examine the accuracy of the mathematical models. A very fast heuristic method, divide-merge, is shown to outperform all others and finds near-optimal solutions. We also shows the effects...
Language modeling for automatic speech recognition in telehealth
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
Standard statistic n-gram language models play a critical and indispensable role in automatic speech recognition (ASR) applications. Though helpful to ASR, it suffers from a practical problem when lacking sufficient in-domain ...
PIR sensing array for fall detection
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
The purpose of the Fuzzy PIR Fall Detection Array is to keep the elderly safe by providing a means for an immediate response to falls while still allowing them to enjoy the same independence they felt before fall detection ...
On the relationship between generalized covariance union and the minimal enclosing ellipsoid problem
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Lowner 1-[sigma] ellipsoid about the 1-[sigma] ellipsoids of its n inputs. This thesis presents a means to analyze and test this behavior numerically, detailing the one- and two-dimensional cases, using mathematics easily extensible into higher dimensions...
Statistical inference in wireless sensor and mobile networks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
In recent years, wireless sensor networks have emerged as a cost effective alternative to traditional wired sensor systems. In the meantime, mobile networks have also gained many momentums. The two emerging networks share ...
Dynamic agent safety logic : theory and applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Modal logic is a family of logics for reasoning about relational structures, broadly construed. It sits at the nexus of philosophy, mathematics, software engineering, and economics. By modeling a target domain as a relational structure, one can...
Tensor completion methods with provable consistency and fairness guarantees for recommender systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
for matrix/ tensor completion in recommender systems. The method guarantees key mathematical properties, satisfying a recently established admissibility criterion, fairness definition, and offering robustness through provable uniqueness of missing...
Full similarity-based page ranking
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
The World Wide Web creates many new challenges to information retrieval. The sheer mass and almost anarchic structure of the Web makes effective search difficult. Some good search engine alleviate the problem to some extent ...
PRO3DCNN : convolutional neural network for mapping protein structure into folds
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Motivation: SCOPe 2.07 is a dataset of 276,231 protein domains that have been partitioned into varying folds according to their shape and function. Since a protein's fold reveals valuable information about it's shape and ...
