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 ... -
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 ... -
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. ... -
Animal stay region detection and behavior analysis based on GPS trajectories
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Nowadays, GPS technology is becoming an important tool in tracking and understanding wild animal behaviors. For example, Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) has put GPS collars on more than 80 black bears and more ... -
Covariance methods in nonlinear model identification
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In many practical engineering and machine learning applications, it is necessary to identify an unknown transformation that maps a known or measured ... -
Deep learning based nuclei detection for quantitative histopathology image analysis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Quantitative analysis of histopathology images is important for both clinical purposes (e.g. to reduce/eliminate inter- and intra-observer variations ... -
Design and implementation of orthopedic trauma surgery rehabilitation and health monitoring system (OTSRS)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] A very common problem relating to rehabilitation of orthopedic trauma surgery is that patients do not have access, whether for financial reasons or ... -
EM algorithm for reconstructing 3D structures of human chromosomes from chromosomal contact data
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Recent research suggested that chromosomes have preferred spatial conformations to facilitate necessary long-range interactions and regulations within a nucleus. So that, getting the 3D shape of chromosomes of a genome is ... -
An examination of fast similarity search trees with gating
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)The emergence of complex data objects that must be indexed and queried in databases has created a need for access methods that are both generic and efficient. Traditional search algorithms that only check specified fields ... -
Fast inpainting algorithm for real-time video inpainting problem
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)The paper examines a simple and efficient method to solve the digital inpainting problem with a reasonable result by processing the information locally around the painting area. The method is based on a unique matrix ... -
Formal analysis of pilot error using agent safety logic
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Formal methods is the study of applying mathematical and logical techniques to verify and analyze information systems. Not much work has been done in applying formal methods techniques to the human component of information ... -
Gene expression prediction based on deep learning
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Gene expression is a critical process in a biological system that is influenced and modulated by many factors including genetic variation. Thus, it is important to understand how genotypes affect the gene expression levels. ... -
Hierarchical cloud-fog platform for data import from network-edge applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Communication and coordination in a mass casualty disaster scenario is limited and difficult for medical personnel in the absence of necessary cyber ... -
Intelligent user interfaces for internet-of-things based web applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] There is a growing need for Intelligent User Interfaces to visually make sense of the enormous data that is being created within web applications that ... -
