This research develops a memory model capable of performing in a human-like fashion on a maze traversal task. The model is based on and retains the underlying ideas of Minerva 2 but is executed with different mathematical ...

Performance evaluation of document recognition systems is a difficult and practically-important problem. In this thesis, we contribute to the understanding of performance evaluation by studying some issues that arise in ...

The problem of finding the convex hull of a set of points in the plane is one of the fundamental and well-studied problems in Computational Geometry. However, for a set of imprecise points, the convex hull problem has not ...

Comparing protein structures based on their contact maps is an important problem in structural proteomics. Building a system for reconstructing protein tertiary structures from their contact maps is one of the motivations ...

Many speech enhancement algorithms suffer from musical noise - an estimation residue noise consisting of music-like varying tones. To reduce this annoying noise, some speech enhancement algorithms require post-processing. ...

In the information age of today, vast amounts of sensitive and confidential data is exchanged over an array of different mediums. Accompanied with this phenomenon is a comparable increase in the number and types of attacks ...

A Stroke can affect different parts of the human body depending on the area of brain effected; our research focuses on upper limb motor dysfunction for stroke patients. In current practice, ordinal scale systems are used ...

Capturing the mechanism of gene regulation in a living cell is essential to predict the behavior of cell in response to intercellular or extra cellular factors. Such prediction capability can potentially lead to development ...

Prostate cancer is the most common malignancy among men. The gold standard clinical diagnosis method for prostate cancer is histopathologic analysis of biopsy samples acquired under ultrasound guidance. However, most ...

Interference makes reasoning about imperative programs difficult but it can be controlled syntactically by a language's type system, such as Syntactic Control of Interference (SCI). Haskell is a purely-functional, ...
