A Methodology For Detecting Credit Card Fraud, Kayode Ayorinde Jan 2021

A Methodology For Detecting Credit Card Fraud, Kayode Ayorinde

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

Fraud detection has appertained to many industries such as banking, retails, financial services, healthcare, etc. As we know, fraud detection is a set of campaigns undertaken to avert the acquisition of illegal means to obtain money or property under false pretense. With an unlimited and growing number of ways fraudsters commit fraud crimes, detecting online fraud was so tricky to achieve. This research work aims to examine feasible ways to identify credit card fraudulent activities that negatively impact financial institutes. In the United States, an average of U.S consumers lost a median of $429 from credit card fraud in 2017, …


Classification Of Chess Games: An Exploration Of Classifiers For Anomaly Detection In Chess, Masudul Hoque Jan 2021

Classification Of Chess Games: An Exploration Of Classifiers For Anomaly Detection In Chess, Masudul Hoque

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

Chess is a strategy board game with its inception dating back to the 15th century. The Covid-19 pandemic has led to a chess boom online with 95,853,038 chess games being played during January, 2021 on lichess.com. Along with the chess boom, instances of cheating have also become more rampant. Classifications have been used for anomaly detection in different fields and thus it is a natural idea to develop classifiers to detect cheating in chess. However, there are no specific examples of this, and it is difficult to obtain data where cheating has occurred. So, in this paper, we develop 4 …


Exploring Artificial Intelligence-Mediated Communication (Aimc) As A Sub-Field Of Communication Studies. A Textual Examination, Md Nurul Karim Bhuiyan Jan 2020

Exploring Artificial Intelligence-Mediated Communication (Aimc) As A Sub-Field Of Communication Studies. A Textual Examination, Md Nurul Karim Bhuiyan

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

From the book "Speaking into the Air: A History of the Idea of Communication," written by John Durham Peters, we understand a notion about developing one’s destiny; people have the freedom to choose multiple paths to follow (Peters, 2012). If we reject this idea, it is also easy for people to come up with distinct explanations. Even though the meaning of the same issues might vary subject to who is interpreting them, the primary concepts can be interpreted as more or less the same. If we study these two--"artificial intelligence" and "communication"- simultaneously, we can assume some characteristics. Thus, this …


Fault Detection And Classification Of A Single Phase Inverter Using Artificial Neural Networks, Ayomikun Samuel Orukotan Jan 2020

Fault Detection And Classification Of A Single Phase Inverter Using Artificial Neural Networks, Ayomikun Samuel Orukotan

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

The detection of switching faults of power converters or the Circuit Under Test (CUT) is real-time important for safe and efficient usage. The CUT is a single-phase inverter. This thesis presents two unique methods that rely on backpropagation principles to solve classification problems with a two-layer network. These mathematical algorithms or proposed networks are able to diagnose single, double, triple, and multiple switching faults over different iterations representing range of frequencies. First, the fault detection and classification problems are formulated as neural network-based classification problems and the neural network design process is clearly described. Then, neural networks are trained over …


A Statistical Analysis And Machine Learning Of Genomic Data, Jongyun Jung Jan 2019

A Statistical Analysis And Machine Learning Of Genomic Data, Jongyun Jung

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

Machine learning enables a computer to learn a relationship between two assumingly related types of information. One type of information could thus be used to predict any lack of informaion in the other using the learned relationship. During the last decades, it has become cheaper to collect biological information, which has resulted in increasingly large amounts of data. Biological information such as DNA is currently analyzed by a variety of tools. Although machine learning has already been used in various projects, a flexible tool for analyzing generic biological challenges has not yet been made. The recent advancements in the DNA …


Comparing Ai Archetypes And Hybrids Using Blackjack, Robert Edward Noonan Jan 2012

Comparing Ai Archetypes And Hybrids Using Blackjack, Robert Edward Noonan

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

The discipline of artificial intelligence (AI) is a diverse field, with a vast variety of philosophies and implementations to consider. This work attempts to compare several of these paradigms as well as their variations and hybrids, using the card game of blackjack as the field of competition. This is done with an automated blackjack emulator, written in Java, which accepts computer-controlled players of various AI philosophies and their variants, training them and finally pitting them against each other in a series of tournaments with customizable rule sets. In order to avoid bias towards any particular implementation, the system treats each …


An Exploration Of Multi-Agent Learning Within The Game Of Sheephead, Brady Brau Jan 2011

An Exploration Of Multi-Agent Learning Within The Game Of Sheephead, Brady Brau

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

In this paper, we examine a machine learning technique presented by Ishii et al. used to allow for learning in a multi-agent environment and apply an adaptation of this learning technique to the card game Sheephead. We then evaluate the effectiveness of our adaptation by running simulations against rule-based opponents. Multi-agent learning presents several layers of complexity on top of a single-agent learning in a stationary environment. This added complexity and increased state space is just beginning to be addressed by researchers. We utilize techniques used by Ishii et al. to facilitate this multi-agent learning. We model the environment of …
