A Class of Augmented Convolutional Networks Architectures for Efficient Visual Anomaly Detection
(University of Waterloo, 2021-07-23)Visual anomaly detection, the task of isolating visual data that do not conform to the defined notion of normality, is very crucial for the autonomous functioning of entities with exceptional potential in a spectrum of ... -
Classical and Quantum Algorithms for Isogeny-based Cryptography
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-30)Isogeny-based cryptography using supersingular elliptic curves --- most prominently, the constructions of De Feo-Jao-Plut --- is one of the few practical candidates for post-quantum public key cryptography. Its formidable ... -
Classical Authenticated Key Exchange and Quantum Cryptography
(University of Waterloo, 2009-03-16)Cryptography plays an integral role in secure communication and is usually the strongest link in the chain of security. Yet security problems abound in electronic communication: spyware, phishing, denial of service, and ... -
Classical Field Theory in the BV Formalism
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-20)This document is a review of the perspective on classical eld theories presented in [2] and [3]. -
Classical regression and predictive modeling
(Elsevier, 2022-05)BACKGROUND: With the advent of personalized and stratified medicine, there has been much discussion about predictive modeling and the role of classical regression in modern medical research. We describe and distinguish the ... -
Classical simulations of quantum systems using stabilizer decompositions
(University of Waterloo, 2021-02-19)One of the state of the art techniques for classically simulating quantum circuits relies on approximating the output state of the circuit by a superposition of stabilizer states. If the number of non-Clifford gates in ... -
Classification Algorithms based on Generalized Polynomial Chaos
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-22)Classification is one of the most important tasks in process system engineering. Since most of the classification algorithms are generally based on mathematical models, they inseparably involve the quantification and ... -
Classification and Decision-Theoretic Framework for Detecting and Reporting Unseen Falls
(University of Waterloo, 2016-02-18)Detecting falls is critical for an activity recognition system to ensure the well being of an individual. However, falls occur rarely and infrequently, therefore sufficient data for them may not be available during training ... -
A Classification of (2+1)D Topological Phases with Symmetries
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-18)This thesis aims at concluding the classification results for topological phases with symmetry. First, we know that “trivial” (i.e., not topological) phases with symmetry can be classified by Landau symmetry breaking ... -
Classification of Compact Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar Images
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-27)The RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) was launched in June 2019. RCM, in addition to dual-polarization (DP) and fully quad-polarimetric (QP) imaging modes, provides compact polarimetric (CP) mode data. A CP synthetic ... -
Classification of Construction Projects
(World Academy of Science, 2015-07-01)In order to address construction project requirements and specifications, scholars and practitioners need to establish taxonomy according to a scheme that best fits their need. While existing characterization methods are ... -
Classification of Finitely Generated Operator Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2018-01-22)For the past few decades operator systems and their C*-envelopes have provided an invaluable tool for studying the theory of C*-algebras and positive maps. They provide the natural context in which to study the theory of ... -
Classification of Nilpotent Lie Algebras of Dimension 7 (over Algebraically Closed Field and R)
(University of Waterloo, 1998)This thesis is concerned with the classification of 7-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras. Skjelbred and Sund have published in 1977 their method of constructing all nilpotent Lie algebras of dimension <i>n</i> given those ... -
Classification of nilpotent Lie algebras of dimension 7, over algebraically closed fields and R

Classification of Sleep Staging For Narcolepsy Assistive Device
(University of Waterloo, 2008-01-28)Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological disorder caused by the brain’s inability to regulate sleep wake cycles normally [1]. Narcoleptic patients feel overwhelmingly tired and sleepy. They do not have the ability to carry ... -
A Classification of Wide Seasonal Range (WiSR) Cities for Early-Stage Decision Making in Public Space Design
(University of Waterloo, 2020-12-18)In cold climates, prolonged winter weather and poor planning limit the use of public spaces for a major part of the year. While effective strategies exist to extend outdoor activity, their scope of application remains ... -
Classification-Based Adaptive Search Algorithm for Video Motion Estimation
(University of Waterloo, 2006)A video sequence consists of a series of frames. In order to compress the video for efficient storage and transmission, the temporal redundancy among adjacent frames must be exploited. A frame is selected as reference ... -
Classifications of Quantum Field Theories
(University of Waterloo, 2018-07-04)We discuss classifications of UV complete supersymmetric theories in six dimensions, and (spin-)topological field theories admitting a finite global symmetry and possibly time-reversal symmetry in three dimensions. We also ... -
Classifying Code as Human Authored or GPT-4 Generated
(University of Waterloo, 2024-05-09)Artificial intelligence (AI) assistants such as GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT, built on large language models like GPT-4, are revolutionizing how programming tasks are performed, raising questions about whether generative AI ... -
Clay Shapes the Hand
(University of Waterloo, 2021-12-16)Clay is a ubiquitous and malleable substance that records history at the scale of geologic time. Present in creation stories and found to be one of the first human tools, clay runs parallel to humanity. Clay acts as a ...
