Optimized And Automated Machine Learning Techniques Towards Iot Data Analytics And Cybersecurity, Li Yang

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

The Internet-of-Things (IoT) systems have emerged as a prevalent technology in our daily lives. With the wide spread of sensors and smart devices in recent years, the data generation volume and speed of IoT systems have increased dramatically. In most IoT systems, massive volumes of data must be processed, transformed, and analyzed on a frequent basis to enable various IoT services and functionalities. Machine Learning (ML) approaches have shown their capacity for IoT data analytics. However, applying ML models to IoT data analytics tasks still faces many difficulties and challenges. The first challenge is to process large amounts of dynamic …

Optimized Machine Learning Models Towards Intelligent Systems, Mohammadnoor Ahmad Mohammad Injadat

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

The rapid growth of the Internet and related technologies has led to the collection of large amounts of data by individuals, organizations, and society in general [1]. However, this often leads to information overload which occurs when the amount of input (e.g. data) a human is trying to process exceeds their cognitive capacities [2]. Machine learning (ML) has been proposed as one potential methodology capable of extracting useful information from large sets of data [1]. This thesis focuses on two applications. The first is education, namely e-Learning environments. Within this field, this thesis proposes different optimized ML ensemble models to …

Gamification Framework For Sensor Data Analytics, Alexandra L'Heureux

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

Data in all of its form is becoming a central part of our existence, it is being captured in every facets of our everyday life: social media, pictures, smartphones, wearable devices, smart building etc. One of the main drivers of this Big Data Revolution is the Internet of Things, which enables inert objects to communicate through a multitude of sensors. The data amassed fuels a thirst for information, the extraction of such knowledge is rendered possible through Data Analytics Techniques.

However, when it comes to sensor data our large-scale ability to perform analytics is highly limited by the difficulties associated …
