In Memory Computation of Glowworm Swarm Optimization Applied to Multimodal Functions Using Apache Spark
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Glowworm Swarm Optimization (GSO) is one of the optimization techniques, which need to be parallelized in order to evaluate large problems with high-dimensional function spaces. There are various issues involved in the ... -
Increasing Usability and Accessibility of GIS Technology Through Extension of Existing Software Tools
(North Dakota State University, 2015)As the popularity of Geographic Information System (GIS) technology increases and its use extends from specialized users to the general public, tools available to users must adapt to take these changes into account. Virtual ... -
Injecting Safety-Critical Certification Into Agile Software Methods
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Agility offers an adaptable and changeable environment within software development. The benefits that agile methods provide for software development are becoming an even greater possibility in safety-critical software ... -
Intrusion Detection With an Autoencoder and ANOVA Feature Selector
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Intrusion detection systems are systems that aim at identifying malicious activities or violation of policies in a network. The problem of high dimensionality in intrusion detection systems is a barrier in processing data ... -
An Investigation of Integration and Performance Issues Related to the Use of Extended Page Sizes in Computationally Intensive Applications
(North Dakota State University, 2012)The combination of increasing fabrication density and corresponding decrease in price has resulted in the ability of commodity platforms to support large memory capacities. Processor designers have introduced support for ... -
Investigation of the Effect of the Number of Inspectors on the Software Defect Estimates
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Capture-recapture models help software managers by providing post-inspection defect estimate remaining in a software artifact to determine if a re-inspection in necessary. These estimates are calculated using the number ... -
Light Weight Health Application for Low End Cell Phones
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Health applications are usually complicated and low end devices do not benefit from them. The focus of this thesis is on expandable health services platform for low end cell phones. Large number of mobile phones in the ... -
A Linear Delay Algorithm for Enumerating All Connected Induced Subgraphs
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Real biological and social data is increasingly being represented as graphs. Pattern-mining-based graph learning and analysis techniques report meaningful biological subnetworks that elucidate important interactions among ... -
A Linguistic Model for Improving Sentiment Analysis Systems
(North Dakota State University, 2014)The value of automated sentiment analysis systems is increasing with the vast amount of consumer-generated content, allowing researchers to analyze the information readily available on the World Wide Web. Much research has ... -
Mining Approximate Frequent Dense Modules from Multiple Gene Expression Datasets
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Large amount of gene expression data has been collected for various environmental and biological conditions. Extracting dense modules that are recurrent in multiple gene coexpression networks has been shown to be promising ... -
Mining Novel Knowledge from Biomedical Literature using Statistical Measures and Domain Knowledge
(North Dakota State University, 2016)The problem of inferring novel knowledge from implicit facts by logically connecting independent fragments of literature is known as Literature Based Discovery (LBD). In LBD, to discover hidden links, it is important to ... -
Mobile Health Application for Diabetes Self-Management
(North Dakota State University, 2020)As mobile healthcare applications are becoming more and more popular, it brings patients a more convenient way to self-management and communicating remotely compare to the traditional healthcare system. This paper introduces ... -
Mobisurf: Bimanual Inter-Device Interaction
(North Dakota State University, 2013)A shared interactive display (i.e. tabletop) provides a large space for collaborative interaction. However, it lacks a private area for accessing sensitive information. On the other hand, a mobile device offers a variety ... -
Model-based Exploratory Testing: A Controlled Experiment
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Testing methods of software systems have been receiving more and more focus in recent years. Exploratory Testing (ET) is one such testing method. The advantages of ET are generally outweighed by its disadvantages, mainly ... -
Multi-Teacher Knowledge Distillation Using Teacher's Domain Expertise
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Large BERT models cannot be used with low computing power and storage capacity. Knowledge Distillation solves this problem by distilling knowledge into a smaller BERT model while retaining much of the teacher’s accuracy ... -
Multi-Variate Attribute Selection for Agricultural Data
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Farmers always have been concerned about the quantity of crops (yield) as well as the quality of crops (sugar content of the sugar beets). The quality and quantity of crops are affected by various attributes, some are ... -
Next Location Prediction Model: A Geohashed Based Recurrent Neural Network
(North Dakota State University, 2021)This work investigates the significance of choosing appropriate recurrent neural networks (RNNs) architecture for a spatiotemporal next location prediction framework. Dockless shared micro-mobility sharing programs provide ... -
Noise Removal from Attribute-Groups for Classification
(North Dakota State University, 2013)In this work, we present a novel algorithm that considers attributes from different experimental sources as separate groups for the purpose of classification. We remove noise from each of these groups, combine them, and ... -
