    • The k-best paths in Hidden Markov Models. Algorithms and Applications to Transmembrane Protein Topology Recognition. 

      Golod, Daniil (University of Waterloo, 2009-08-26)
      Traditional algorithms for hidden Markov model decoding seek to maximize either the probability of a state path or the number of positions of a sequence assigned to the correct state. These algorithms provide only a ...
    • A k-Conjugacy Class Problem 

      Roberts, Collin (University of Waterloo, 2007-09-07)
      In any group G, we may extend the definition of the conjugacy class of an element to the conjugacy class of a k-tuple, for a positive integer k. When k = 2, we are forming the conjugacy classes of ordered pairs, when k ...
    • k-Connectedness and k-Factors in the Semi-Random Graph Process 

      Koerts, Hidde (University of Waterloo, 2022-12-20)
      The semi-random graph process is a single-player graph game where the player is initially presented an edgeless graph with n vertices. In each round, the player is offered a vertex u uniformly at random and subsequently ...
    • K-theory for C*-Algebras and for Topological Spaces 

      Xiao, Rui Philip (University of Waterloo, 2015-04-27)
      K-theory is the study of a collection of abelian groups that are invariant to C*-algebras or to locally compact Hausdorff spaces. These groups are useful for distinguishing C*-algebras and topological spaces, and they are ...
    • Kalman Filter Based Sensor Placement For Burgers Equation 

      Zonov, Stanislav (University of Waterloo, 2019-06-03)

    • Kernel Methods and Measures for Classification with Transparency, Interpretability and Accuracy in Health Care 

      Carrington, André (University of Waterloo, 2018-09-05)
      Support vector machines are a popular method in machine learning. They learn from data about a subject, for example, lung tumors in a set of patients, to classify new data, such as, a new patient’s tumor. The new tumor is ...
    • Kernel Methods in Computer-Aided Constructive Drug Design 

      Wong, William Wai Lun (University of Waterloo, 2009-05-14)
      A drug is typically a small molecule that interacts with the binding site of some target protein. Drug design involves the optimization of this interaction so that the drug effectively binds with the target protein while ...
    • Kernelized Supervised Dictionary Learning 

      Jabbarzadeh Gangeh, Mehrdad (University of Waterloo, 2013-04-25)
      The representation of a signal using a learned dictionary instead of predefined operators, such as wavelets, has led to state-of-the-art results in various applications such as denoising, texture analysis, and face ...
    • Key Agreement over Wiretap Models with Non-Causal Side Information 

      Zibaeenejad, Ali (University of Waterloo, 2012-06-20)
