    • Mining Novel Knowledge from Biomedical Literature using Statistical Measures and Domain Knowledge 

      Jha, Kishlay (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 

      He, Zhuoran (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 

      Roudaki, Ali (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 

      Schaefer, Christopher J. (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 

      Hossain, Arafat Bin (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 

      Xu, Xing John (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 

      Rahim Taleqani, Ali (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 

      Kar, Angshu (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 ...

    • On the Applicability of Deep Metric Learning to Address Source Code Authorship Attribution Problem under Simulated Real-world Constraints 

      Zafar, Sarim (North Dakota State University, 2020)
      Source code authorship attribution is a widely studied research topic in the information security domain. In this dissertation, we develop and evaluate models that enable us to solve source code authorship attribution using ...

    • Optimization of Mobile Sensor Movement in Self-Healing Sensor Networks 

      Basu, Samidip (North Dakota State University, 2010)
      This paper moves forward the key idea as proposed in past research works - a self-healing deployment approach for sensor networks, where a small percentage of mobile sensors are deployed along with the static sensors into ...

    • Particle Swarm Optimization and Particle Filter Applied to Object Tracking 

      Xia, Gongyi (North Dakota State University, 2016)
