Applied Machine Learning For Classification Of Musculoskeletal Inference Using Neural Networks And Component Analysis, Shaswat Sharma

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is acquiring more recognition than ever by researchers and machine learning practitioners. AI has found significance in many applications like biomedical research for cancer diagnosis using image analysis, pharmaceutical research, and, diagnosis and prognosis of diseases based on knowledge about patients' previous conditions. Due to the increased computational power of modern computers implementing AI, there has been an increase in the feasibility of performing more complex research.

Within the field of orthopedic biomechanics, this research considers complex time-series dataset of the "sit-to-stand" motion of 48 Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) patients that was collected by the Human Dynamics …

Determining Political Inclination In Tweets Using Transfer Learning, Mehtab Iqbal

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Last few years have seen tremendous development in neural language modeling for transfer learning and downstream applications. In this research, I used Howard and Ruder’s Universal Language Model Fine Tuning (ULMFiT) pipeline to develop a classifier that can determine whether a tweet is politically left leaning or right leaning by likening the content to tweets posted by @TheDemocrats or @GOP accounts on Twitter. We achieved 87.7% accuracy in predicting political ideological inclination.
