Machine Learning And Graph Theory Approaches For Classification And Prediction Of Protein Structure, Gulsah Altun Apr 2008

Machine Learning And Graph Theory Approaches For Classification And Prediction Of Protein Structure, Gulsah Altun

Computer Science Dissertations

Recently, many methods have been proposed for the classification and prediction problems in bioinformatics. One of these problems is the protein structure prediction. Machine learning approaches and new algorithms have been proposed to solve this problem. Among the machine learning approaches, Support Vector Machines (SVM) have attracted a lot of attention due to their high prediction accuracy. Since protein data consists of sequence and structural information, another most widely used approach for modeling this structured data is to use graphs. In computer science, graph theory has been widely studied; however it has only been recently applied to bioinformatics. In this …


Improving Performance Of The Filtered-X Least Mean Square Algorithm For Active Control Of Noise Contatining Multiple Quasi-Stationary Tones, Stephan P. Lovstedt Mar 2008

Improving Performance Of The Filtered-X Least Mean Square Algorithm For Active Control Of Noise Contatining Multiple Quasi-Stationary Tones, Stephan P. Lovstedt

Theses and Dissertations

The Filtered-X Least-Mean-Square (FXLMS) algorithm is widely used in active noise control due to its robustness, simplicity, and ability to be implemented in real time. In a feedforward implementation of the FXLMS algorithm, a reference signal that is highly correlated with the noise to be controlled is filtered with an estimate of the transfer function of the secondary path. The convergence characteristics of the FXLMS algorithm have been well studied. A convergence parameter is used to optimize the convergence of the algorithm. However, the optimal value for the convergence parameter is frequency dependent. Thus for noise containing multiple tones at …


Simulation And Visualization Of Environments With Multidimensional Time, Luther A. Tychonievich Jan 2008

Simulation And Visualization Of Environments With Multidimensional Time, Luther A. Tychonievich

Theses and Dissertations

This work introduces the notion of computational hypertime, or the simulation and visualization of hypothetical environments possessing multidimensional time. An overview of hypertime is provided,including an intuitive visualization paradigm and a discussion of the failure of common simulation techniques when extended to include multidimensional time. A condition for differential equations describing hypertime motion to be amenable to standard time-iterative simulation techniques is provided,but is not satisfied by any known model of physics. An alternate simulation algorithm involving iterative refinement of entire equations of motion is presented,with an example implementation to solve elastic collisions in hypertime. An artificial intelligence algorithm for …
