KOLAM : human computer interfaces fro visual analytics in big data imagery
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)In the present day, we are faced with a deluge of disparate and dynamic information from multiple heterogeneous sources. Among these are the big data imagery datasets that are rapidly being generated via mature acquisition ... -
Deepnet : an extensible data acquisition and curation framework supporting computer vision deep learning research
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)We present a system, DeepNet, for ingestion, curation, and management of geospatial data images to facilitate a range of geospatial research. The system allows for the semi-autonomous ingestion of geospatial data from a ... -
3D genome structure reconstruction from chromosomal contact data
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Different cell types of an organism have the same DNA sequence, but they can function differently because their difference in 3D organization allows ... -
Energy-aware mobile edge computing for low-latency visual data processing
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)New paradigms such as Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) are becoming feasible for use in e.g., real-time decision-making during disaster incident response to handle the data deluge occurring in the network edge. However, MEC ... -
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 ... -
Dolus : cyber defense using pretense against DDoS attacks in cloud platforms
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Cloud-hosted services are being increasingly used in online businesses in e.g., retail, healthcare, manufacturing, entertainment due to benefits such as scalability and reliability. These benefits are fueled by innovations ... -
Development of “KBCommons” – universal informatics framework for multi-omics translational research
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Multi-level ‘OMICS’ data integration for multiple organisms has been one of the major challenges in the era of advanced next generation sequencing and high performance technologies. Biological data has been producing ... -
Machine learning methods for 3D object classification and segmentation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)Object understanding is a fundamental problem in computer vision and it has been extensively researched in recent years thanks to the availability of powerful GPUs and labelled data, especially in the context of images. ... -
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 ... -
Three dimensional reconstruction of plant roots via low energy x-ray computed tomography
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)Plant roots are vital organs for water and nutrient uptake. The structure and spatial distribution of plant roots in the soil affects a plant's physiological functions such as soil-based resource acquisition, yield and its ... -
Extending and applying properties of the uc generalized matrix inverse
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)The recent development of a generalized matrix inverse which preserves the units of state variables is very important for many areas of science and technology. In this thesis we derive new mathematical results for this ... -
Virtual web for PageRank computing
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)The enormous size and fast-evolving nature of World-Wide-Web has been demanding an even more efficient PageRank updating algorithm. Web evolution may involve two kinds: (1) link structure modification; (2) page insertion/deletion. ... -
Significance linked connected component analysis plus
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)An image coding algorithm, SLCCA Plus, is introduced in this dissertation. SLCCA Plus is a wavelet-based subband coding method. In wavelet-based subband coding, the input images will go through a wavelet transform and be ... -
Leveraging High Performance Computing techniques to accelerate big heterogeneous data pattern analysis and image processing
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] In this research we discuss High Performance Computing (HPC) techniques which enable efficient and effective processing of Big Data. HPC seeks to ... -
