New Methods For Deep Learning Based Real-Valued Inter-Residue Distance Prediction, Jacob Barger
New Methods For Deep Learning Based Real-Valued Inter-Residue Distance Prediction, Jacob Barger
Theses
Background: Much of the recent success in protein structure prediction has been a result of accurate protein contact prediction--a binary classification problem. Dozens of methods, built from various types of machine learning and deep learning algorithms, have been published over the last two decades for predicting contacts. Recently, many groups, including Google DeepMind, have demonstrated that reformulating the problem as a multi-class classification problem is a more promising direction to pursue. As an alternative approach, we recently proposed real-valued distance predictions, formulating the problem as a regression problem. The nuances of protein 3D structures make this formulation appropriate, allowing predictions …

Internet Protocol TeleVision (IPTV) provides many services such as live television streaming, time-shifted media, and Video On Demand (VOD). However, many customers do not engage properly with their subscribed packages due to a lack of knowledge and poor guidance. Many customers fail to identify the proper IPTV service package based on their needs and to utilise their current package to the maximum. In this paper, we propose a base-package recommendation model with a novel customer scoring-meter based on customers behaviour. Initially, our paper describes an algorithm to measure customers engagement score, which illustrates a novel approach to track customer engagement …

In this paper, we propose a hybrid framework to solve large-scale permutation-based combinatorial problems effectively using a high-performance quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) solver. To do so, transformations are required to change a constrained optimization model to an unconstrained model that involves parameter tuning. We propose techniques to overcome the challenges in using a QUBO solver that typically comes with limited numbers of bits. First, to smooth the energy landscape, we reduce the magnitudes of the input without compromising optimality. We propose a machine learning approach to tune the parameters for good performance effectively. To handle possible infeasibility, we introduce …
Bayesian Topological Machine Learning, Christopher A. Oballe
Bayesian Topological Machine Learning, Christopher A. Oballe
Doctoral Dissertations
Topological data analysis encompasses a broad set of ideas and techniques that address 1) how to rigorously define and summarize the shape of data, and 2) use these constructs for inference. This dissertation addresses the second problem by developing new inferential tools for topological data analysis and applying them to solve real-world data problems. First, a Bayesian framework to approximate probability distributions of persistence diagrams is established. The key insight underpinning this framework is that persistence diagrams may be viewed as Poisson point processes with prior intensities. With this assumption in hand, one may compute posterior intensities by adopting techniques …
Atmospheric Contrail Detection With A Deep Learning Algorithm, Nasir Siddiqui
Atmospheric Contrail Detection With A Deep Learning Algorithm, Nasir Siddiqui
Scholarly Horizons: University of Minnesota, Morris Undergraduate Journal
Aircraft contrail emission is widely believed to be a contributing factor to global climate change. We have used machine learning techniques on images containing contrails in hopes of being able to identify those which contain contrails and those that do not. The developed algorithm processes data on contrail characteristics as captured by long-term image records. Images collected by the United States Department of Energy’s Atmospheric Radiation Management user facility(ARM) were used to train a deep convolutional neural network for the purpose of this contrail classification. The neural network model was trained with 1600 images taken by the Total Sky Imager(TSI) …

Graph Classification With Kernels, Embeddings And Convolutional Neural Networks, Monica Golahalli Seenappa, Katerina Potika, Petros Potikas
Faculty Publications, Computer Science
In the graph classification problem, given is a family of graphs and a group of different categories, and we aim to classify all the graphs (of the family) into the given categories. Earlier approaches, such as graph kernels and graph embedding techniques have focused on extracting certain features by processing the entire graph. However, real world graphs are complex and noisy and these traditional approaches are computationally intensive. With the introduction of the deep learning framework, there have been numerous attempts to create more efficient classification approaches. We modify a kernel graph convolutional neural network approach, that extracts subgraphs (patches) …
Searching For Needles In The Cosmic Haystack, Thomas Ryan Devine
Searching For Needles In The Cosmic Haystack, Thomas Ryan Devine
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
Searching for pulsar signals in radio astronomy data sets is a difficult task. The data sets are extremely large, approaching the petabyte scale, and are growing larger as instruments become more advanced. Big Data brings with it big challenges. Processing the data to identify candidate pulsar signals is computationally expensive and must utilize parallelism to be scalable. Labeling benchmarks for supervised classification is costly. To compound the problem, pulsar signals are very rare, e.g., only 0.05% of the instances in one data set represent pulsars. Furthermore, there are many different approaches to candidate classification with no consensus on a best …

Special information has a significant role in disaster management. Land cover mapping can detect short- and long-term changes and monitor the vulnerable habitats. It is an effective evaluation to be included in the disaster management system to protect the conservation areas. The critical visual and statistical information presented to the decision-makers can help in mitigation or adaption before crossing a threshold. This paper aims to contribute in the academic and the practice aspects by offering a potential solution to enhance the disaster data source effectiveness. The key research question that the authors try to answer in this paper is how …

Optimal Feature Selection For Learning-Based Algorithms For Sentiment Classification, Zhaoxia Wang, Zhiping Lin
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Sentiment classification is an important branch of cognitive computation—thus the further studies of properties of sentiment analysis is important. Sentiment classification on text data has been an active topic for the last two decades and learning-based methods are very popular and widely used in various applications. For learning-based methods, a lot of enhanced technical strategies have been used to improve the performance of the methods. Feature selection is one of these strategies and it has been studied by many researchers. However, an existing unsolved difficult problem is the choice of a suitable number of features for obtaining the best sentiment …
