    • Auto-Encoder based Deep Representation Model for Image Anomaly Detection 

      Zhao, Qiang (University of Waterloo, 2020-08-31)
      Image anomaly detection is to distinguish a small portion of images that are different from the user-defined normal ones. In this work, we focus on auto-encoders based anomaly detection models, which assess the probability ...
    • AutoCPA: Automatic Continuous Profiling and Analysis 

      Rezapour Siahgourabi, Zahra (University of Waterloo, 2020-09-03)
      Poor data locality is a performance bottleneck in modern applications. The hierarchy of caches exiting in computer processors reduces data access latency from the main memory. However, inefficient cache utilization results ...
    • Automata and Ratio Sets 

      Meleshko, Joseph Victor Fiorillo (University of Waterloo, 2022-12-13)
      This thesis explores the composition of ratio sets, the subsets of the rationals derived from the quotients of two sets of natural numbers, and examines a variety of specific examples where the comprising sets of natural ...
    • Automated Analysis and Optimization of Distributed Self-Stabilizing Algorithms 

      Aflaki, Saba (University of Waterloo, 2015-08-26)
      Self-stabilization [2] is a versatile technique for recovery from erroneous behavior due to transient faults or wrong initialization. A system is self-stabilizing if (1) starting from an arbitrary initial state it can ...
    • Automated Analysis of Unified Modeling Language (UML) Specifications 

      Tanuan, Meyer C. (University of Waterloo, 2001)
