Discovery Of Materials Through Applied Machine Learning, Travis Williams Oct 2019

Discovery Of Materials Through Applied Machine Learning, Travis Williams

Theses and Dissertations

Advances in artificial intelligence technology, specifically machine learning, have cre- ated opportunities in the material sciences to accelerate material discovery and gain fundamental understanding of the interaction between certain the constituent ele- ments of a material and the properties expressed by that material. Application of machine learning to experimental materials discovery is slow due to the monetary and temporal cost of experimental data, but parallel techniques such as continuous com- positional gradients or high-throughput characterization setups are capable of gener- ating larger amounts of data than the typical experimental process, and therefore are suitable for combination with machine learning. A …


Development Of A National-Scale Big Data Analytics Pipeline To Study The Potential Impacts Of Flooding On Critical Infrastructures And Communities, Nattapon Donratanapat Oct 2019

Development Of A National-Scale Big Data Analytics Pipeline To Study The Potential Impacts Of Flooding On Critical Infrastructures And Communities, Nattapon Donratanapat

Theses and Dissertations

With the rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Big data infrastructure, crowdsourcing techniques have emerged to facilitate data processing and problem solving particularly for flood emergences purposes. A Flood Analytics Information System (FAIS) has been developed as a Python Web application to gather Big data from multiple servers and analyze flooding impacts during historical and real-time events. The application is smartly designed to integrate crowd intelligence, machine learning (ML), and natural language processing of tweets to provide flood warning with the aim to improve situational awareness for flood risk management and decision making. FAIS allows the user …
