Conventional recommender systems tend to mainly focus on recommendation accuracy and are generally optimized to achieve the maximum predicted recommendation relevance. However, as many researchers now noticed, accuracy ...

Population genetics is a study of genetic variations in populations and evolutionary forces that explain these variations. Relevant studies are usually based on simulated genomic data in matrix form. Many existing methods, ...

This thesis is about analyzing the different approaches to verb prediction in machine translation, mainly between languages with different grammar structures. We will introduce the importance of verb prediction in translation ...

With the great advantage of DNA sequencing at the end of the 20th century, researches are provided with larger and far more complicated genetic datasets to study. They tried to infer human evolutionary facts like natural ...

In this thesis we look at the purpose, process, and application of DNA reconstruction using a known family tree, known as a pedigree. First, we see the applications of having a pedigree with DNA sequences for all individuals ...

In an auction with repeated sales of the same item, sellers try to learn buyers' values of the item and buyers try to hide it. At a Perfect Bayesian Equilibrium, sellers maximize their profit against buyers' strategies and ...

Gait is the style or manner in which someone walks. The usage of gait analysis could lead to the next breakthrough in biometric authentication systems. Gait is an ideal biometric for authentication systems for non-intrusive ...

In this thesis, I study an approach inspired by game theory to explain how features in the input data affect the output of machine learning models without access to the models' internal working. This approach assigns a ...

In the widely studied field of student decision-making, a growing online presence creates an important sub-field - technological mindfulness - which can be studied through human computer interaction (HCI). Technological ...

Final verb prediction has been shown to help expedite simultaneous machine translation when translating between languages with different word orders. Prediction allows a system to begin translating earlier because it has ...
