One-Stage Blind Source Separation Via A Sparse Autoencoder Framework, Jason Anthony Dabin May 2022

One-Stage Blind Source Separation Via A Sparse Autoencoder Framework, Jason Anthony Dabin

Dissertations

Blind source separation (BSS) is the process of recovering individual source transmissions from a received mixture of co-channel signals without a priori knowledge of the channel mixing matrix or transmitted source signals. The received co-channel composite signal is considered to be captured across an antenna array or sensor network and is assumed to contain sparse transmissions, as users are active and inactive aperiodically over time. An unsupervised machine learning approach using an artificial feedforward neural network sparse autoencoder with one hidden layer is formulated for blindly recovering the channel matrix and source activity of co-channel transmissions. The BSS sparse autoencoder …


Unsupervised Learning With Word Embeddings Captures Quiescent Knowledge From Covid-19 And Materials Science Literature, Tasnim H. Gharaibeh Apr 2022

Unsupervised Learning With Word Embeddings Captures Quiescent Knowledge From Covid-19 And Materials Science Literature, Tasnim H. Gharaibeh

Dissertations

Millions of scientific papers are produced each year and the scientific literature is continuing to grow at a head-spinning speed. Thus, massive scientific knowledge exists in solid text, but all these publications make it difficult, if not impossible, for researchers to keep in up to date with discoveries, even within a narrow scientific area. This massive amount of information also makes it difficult to find implicit and hidden connections, relationships, and dependencies within the information that may guide the direction of future research or lead to valuable new insights. So, there is a need for algorithms or models that can …


Combination Of Facebook Prophet And Attention-Based Lstm With Multi- Source Data For Indian Stock Market Prediction, Pavan Nagesh Jan 2021

Combination Of Facebook Prophet And Attention-Based Lstm With Multi- Source Data For Indian Stock Market Prediction, Pavan Nagesh

Dissertations

The stock market prediction has been the subject of interest to various researchers and analysts due to its highly unpredictable nature and serves as a perfect example for time series forecasting. Over the years deep learning models such as Long-Term Short-Term Memory and statistical models such as Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average have shown promising results in predicting future stock prices. But the results from these models cannot be generalized as they fail to incorporate the dynamics of the market and influence of several external factors such as political, social, investor's emotion, etc on stock markets. Recently Facebook’s creation of the …


Exploring The Dynamics Of Scientific Research, Shilpa Lakhanpal Jun 2019

Exploring The Dynamics Of Scientific Research, Shilpa Lakhanpal

Dissertations

Scientific research papers present the research endeavors of numerous scientists around the world, and are documented across multitudes of technical conference proceedings, and other such publications. Given the plethora of such research data, if we could automate the extraction of key interesting areas of research, and provide access to this new information, it would make literature searches incredibly easier for researchers. This in turn could be very useful for them in furthering their research agenda. With this goal in mind, we have endeavored to provide such solutions through our research. Specifically, the focus of our research is to design, analyze …


Probabilistic Spiking Neural Networks : Supervised, Unsupervised And Adversarial Trainings, Alireza Bagheri May 2019

Probabilistic Spiking Neural Networks : Supervised, Unsupervised And Adversarial Trainings, Alireza Bagheri

Dissertations

Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs), or third-generation neural networks, are networks of computation units, called neurons, in which each neuron with internal analogue dynamics receives as input and produces as output spiking, that is, binary sparse, signals. In contrast, second-generation neural networks, termed as Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), rely on simple static non-linear neurons that are known to be energy-intensive, hindering their implementations on energy-limited processors such as mobile devices. The sparse event-based characteristics of SNNs for information transmission and encoding have made them more feasible for highly energy-efficient neuromorphic computing architectures. The most existing training algorithms for SNNs are based …


Hierarchical Cluster Analysis: A New Type Of Ranking Criteria Based On Arwu Ranking Data, Zhengshuo Li Jan 2019

Hierarchical Cluster Analysis: A New Type Of Ranking Criteria Based On Arwu Ranking Data, Zhengshuo Li

Dissertations

The advent of big data leads to many applications of Machine Learning techniques. University rankings is one of the applicable domains, which is currently playing a crucial role in the assessment of the universities' performance. Currently, the rankings are usually carried out by some authoritative ranking institutions by means of weighting techniques and the results are conveyed in numerical rankings. Three of the most famous university ranking institutions have been introduced from a technical perspective. However, these institutions have been proven to be subjective in relation to their data selection and weighting method.


Classification Using Association Rules, Colin Kane Jan 2018

Classification Using Association Rules, Colin Kane

Dissertations

This research investigates the use of an unsupervised learning technique, association rules, to make class predictions. The use of association rules to make class predictions is a growing area of focus within data mining research. The research to date has focused predominately on balanced datasets or synthetized imbalanced datasets. There have been concerns raised that the algorithms using association rules to make classifications do not perform well on imbalanced datasets. This research comprehensively evaluates the accuracy of a number of association rule classifiers in predicting home loan sales in an Irish retail banking context. The experiments designed test three associative …
