After a patient’s breast cancer diagnosis, identifying breast cancer lymph node metastases is one of the most important and critical factor that is directly related to the patient’s survival. The traditional way to examine the existence of cancer cells in the breast lymph nodes is through a lymph node procedure, biopsy. The procedure process is time-consuming for the patient and the provider, costly, and lacks accuracy as not every lymph node is examined. The intent of this study is to develop an artificial neural network (ANNs) that would map genetic biomarkers to breast lymph node classes using ANNs. The neural …

Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The spread of Coronavirus, widely known as COVID-19, has posed detrimental effects worldwide, affecting almost every primary sector. Due to its asymptomatic behavior and non-early diagnosis, government and health organizations implemented interventions such as physical distancing, lockdown, and quarantine, to mitigate the spread of the virus. Studies have shown that a connection exists between social isolation and health risks experienced by individuals. Thus, this research proposes an agent-based model to address the impact of varying interventions in our society. For simulation purposes, the SEIR model is followed, and agents are categorized into two classes based on their pace of movement, …

Electronic Theses and Dissertations
An intelligent transportation system (ITS) provides improved transport efficiency and safety based on vehicle communication. Connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) as part of an ITS are projected to revolutionize the transportation industry, primarily by allowing real-time and seamless information exchange between vehicles and roadside infrastructure. Although these CAVs are expected to offer vast benefits, new problems in terms of safety, security, and privacy will also emerge. Since CAVs continue to rely heavily on vehicle sensors and information obtained from other vehicles and roadside units, abnormal sensors and malicious cyber attacks can lead to destructive results and fatal crashes. Therefore, ensuring …

Electronic Theses and Dissertations
With the increasing number of satellite launches throughout the years, it is only natural that an interest in the safety and monitoring of these systems would increase as well. However, as a system becomes more complex it becomes difficult to generate a high-fidelity model that accurately describes all the system components. With such constraints using data-driven approaches becomes a more feasible option. One of the most commonly used actuators in spacecraft is known as the reaction wheel. If these reaction wheels are not maintained or monitored, it could result in mission failure and unwarranted costs. That is why fault detection …

Meta-Heuristic Approach For Course Scheduling Problem, Amanta Sunny
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Nowadays, much research is being carried out to find efficient algorithms for optimal automated university course timetable problems (UCTP). UCTP allocates the university's events like lectures, exams to the various resources, including instructors, students, lecture time and classrooms. Class scheduling is one of the biggest challenging problems of educational institutions. In this thesis, the aim is to improve the state-of-art for a class scheduling problem considering some hard and soft constraints. Hard constraints must be satisfied. Soft constraints need not be satisfied, but there is a penalty for each soft constraint violation. We also have a timing penalty for scheduling …
Active Community Opinion Network Mining And Maximization Through Social Networks Posts, Mayank Semwal
Active Community Opinion Network Mining And Maximization Through Social Networks Posts, Mayank Semwal
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Existing OM systems like CONE take a partial historical rating of users on multiple products and perform opinion estimation to maximizes overall positive opinions using OM. However, CONE does not consider actual user opinions from social posts where users provide opinions through comments, likes and sharing about a product. OBIN mines users' low-frequency features from comments to create a community preference influence network utilizing user response on posts and relationships between them. However, OBIN only performs feature-level opinion mining and does not consider a joint approach that combines sentence-level and feature-level to remove subjective reviews and includes slang words and …

Mining Twitter Sequences Of Product Opinions With Multi-Word Aspect Terms, Vinay Kiran Manjunath
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Social media platforms have opened doors to users' opinions and perceptions. The text remains the most popular means of contact on social media, despite different means of communication (audio/video and images). Twitter is one such microblogging platform that allows people to express their thoughts within 280 characters per message. The freedom of expression has made it difficult to understand the polarity (Positive, Negative, or Neutral) of the tweets/posts. Given a corpus of microblog texts (e.g., "the new iPhone battery life is good, but camera quality is bad"), mining aspects (e.g., battery life, camera quality) and opinions (e.g., good, bad) of …
