Machine Learning Research On Time Series Data, Zeyi Fan Aug 2025

Machine Learning Research On Time Series Data, Zeyi Fan

Lingnan Theses (MPhil & PhD)

Time series generated by complex systems, such as industrial IoT and user behavior systems, confront two core challenges: structured missingness (e.g., continuous or periodic gaps) that disrupt temporal dependencies, and the difficulty in effectively modeling dynamic long- and short-term temporal dependencies inherent in evolving patterns (e.g., user interests). Traditional approaches struggle to balance the preservation of local dependency continuity and the rational association of global long-range dependencies in structured missing scenarios, often incurring high computational costs. In temporal pattern modeling, the lack of adaptive mechanisms to fuse evolving long- and recent behavior trends (e.g., stable interest inertia vs. short-term preference …

The Sketches Of Infinite Data And Algorithms For Real-Time Data Insights, Vishnu S. Pendyala

Open Educational Resources

How are machine learning algorithms able to answer questions from any nook and corner of the World Wide Web? How are trending hashtags from the near infinite microblog posts, unique visitors and other distinct counts in the near infinite website traffic determined? How do blogging websites avoid recommending articles a user has previously read? In general, how can we answer complex queries about enormous data streams without storing them entirely, in real-time? The answer often lies in clever approximation algorithms and data "sketches" that capture essential properties using vastly reduced space. The relentless flow of data in modern systems indeed …


Development Of A New Ground-Based Instrumentation Technique For Low-Resolution Exoplanet Transmission Spectroscopy, Mary Anne Limbach, Luke M. Schmidt, Ryan J. Oelkers, Darren L. Depoy Aug 2025

Development Of A New Ground-Based Instrumentation Technique For Low-Resolution Exoplanet Transmission Spectroscopy, Mary Anne Limbach, Luke M. Schmidt, Ryan J. Oelkers, Darren L. Depoy

Physics & Astronomy Faculty Publications

We present a new instrumentation technique for high-precision, ground-based spectrophotometric measurements ideal for low-resolution (R ∼ 20–60) exoplanet transmission spectroscopy. This technique employs novel thin-film coating technology for wide-band, simultaneous multi-band imaging, enabling high-precision differential photometry through self-referencing and comparison stars. Theoretical calculations and on-sky results show that this method effectively reduces 96% of amplitude scintillation noise and other systematics that typically limit ground-based spectrophotometric precision for bright stars. On-sky results are demonstrated using the custom-built Exoplanet Transmission Spectroscopy Imager (ETSI), deployed at the McDonald Observatory 2.1 m telescope in 2022. For a V = 9.7 mag star, ETSI …


Screening And Variable Selection For Analyzing Binary Outcome With Rare Events And High-Dimensional Predictors, Mohammad Nahian Ferdous Abrar Aug 2025

Screening And Variable Selection For Analyzing Binary Outcome With Rare Events And High-Dimensional Predictors, Mohammad Nahian Ferdous Abrar

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Binary outcomes with rare events (event rate less than 5%) present significant analytical challenges, particularly in high-dimensional settings such as epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS) involving DNA methylation data. Traditional logistic regressions are often inadequate under these conditions, suffering from bias, high variance, and diminished power when the event rate is low and the number of predictors exceeds the sample size (p >> n). To address these limitations, we developed a series of novel methods that enhance sensitivity and accuracy in identifying biologically meaningful biomarkers while accounting for both event rarity and high dimensionality. We first introduce two innovative screening approaches. The …


Planning And Policy For Safer Roads With Autonomous Vehicles: Moral Decision Making Behavior In Dilemma-Inducing Situations, Fatemeh Nazari, Mohamadhossein Noruzoliaee Aug 2025

Planning And Policy For Safer Roads With Autonomous Vehicles: Moral Decision Making Behavior In Dilemma-Inducing Situations, Fatemeh Nazari, Mohamadhossein Noruzoliaee

Civil Engineering Faculty Publications

This study develops a Dynamic Bayesian Network (DBN) framework to examine how public confidence in autonomous vehicle (AV) safety and willingness-to-ride respond to policy interventions in crash-imminent pedestrian–passenger prioritization scenarios. Using stated preferences survey data from San Francisco (SF) and San Antonio (SA), the model integrates baseline attitudes, socio-demographic factors, and policy conditions to simulate both intra-slice and inter-slice dependencies. Results from empirical-mix simulations indicate that SF respondents, despite having higher baseline confidence and willingness-to-ride, exhibit greater sensitivity to policies prioritizing pedestrians, with significant declines across all scenarios. By contrast, SA respondents show comparatively stable and modestly positive shifts, particularly …

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

There is a growing interest in developing safer and more effective decontaminating agents for organophosphate-based pesticides and nerve agents. In this study, we present an effective method for the nonaqueous decontamination of these compounds using small-molecule-based decontaminating agents under ambient conditions. Our approach utilizes aryl and heteroaryl carboxaldehyde hydrazones and hydrazides to effectively hydrolyze nerve agent simulants into their nontoxic degradation products. The effectiveness of this method was evaluated using a range of nerve agent simulants, including dimethyl 4-nitrophenyl phosphate (DMNP), dimethyl methyl phosphonate (DMMP), and triphenyl phosphate (TPhP). In the presence of the heteroaryl hydrazone, the rate of hydrolysis …
