3D Ground Truth Generation Using Pre-Trained Deep Neural Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2019-05-24)Training 3D object detectors on publicly available data has been limited to small datasets due to the large amount of effort required to generate annotations. The difficulty of labeling in 3D using 2.5D sensors, such as ... -
Adaptive Learning Algorithms for Non-stationary Data
(University of Waterloo, 2015-04-22)With the wide availability of large amounts of data and acute need for extracting useful information from such data, intelligent data analysis has attracted great attention and contributed to solving many practical tasks, ... -
Discovering Protein Functional Regions and Protein-Protein Interaction using Co-occurring Aligned Pattern Clusters
(University of Waterloo, 2015-10-30)Bioinformatics is a rapidly expanding field of research due to multiple recent advancements: 1) the advent of machine intelligence, 2) the increase of computing power, 3) our better understanding of the underlying biomolecular ... -
Efficient Temporal Synopsis of Social Media Streams
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-07)Search and summarization of streaming social media, such as Twitter, requires the ongoing analysis of large volumes of data with dynamically changing characteristics. Tweets are short and repetitious -- lacking context and ... -
A Framework for Investigating Volunteered Geographic Information Relevance in Planning
(University of Waterloo, 2013-04-29)Advances in information and communication technology and the ready availability of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) have made it possible for citizens to create information on the internet expressing their personal perceptions ... -
Greedy Representative Selection for Unsupervised Data Analysis
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-25)In recent years, the advance of information and communication technologies has allowed the storage and transfer of massive amounts of data. The availability of this overwhelming amount of data stimulates a growing need to ... -
Machine-Learning Framework for Efficient Multi-Asset Rehabilitation Planning
(University of Waterloo, 2021-10-25)While smart cities are viewed as the way of the future, the infrastructure assets expected to support the different smart services are currently managed using frameworks that are outdated, subjective, and inefficient. Such ... -
Predicting Student Performance Using Data from an Auto-Grading System
(University of Waterloo, 2018-06-25)As online auto-grading systems appear, information obtained from those systems can potentially enable the researchers to create predictive models to predict student behaviour and performances. In University of Waterloo, ... -
Rehabilitation Therapy Services For Older Long–Stay Clients in the Ontario Home Care System
(University of Waterloo, 2013-02-15)BACKGROUND Rehabilitation therapies are effective for older persons in home-based settings, and have the potential to save money for the health system, while also improving the quality of life for older adults who may ... -
Rough Set Based Rule Evaluations and Their Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2007-03-06)Knowledge discovery is an important process in data analysis, data mining and machine learning. Typically knowledge is presented in the form of rules. However, knowledge discovery systems often generate a huge amount ... -
Using Transit AVL/APC System Data to Monitor and Improve Schedule Adherence
(University of Waterloo, 2010-04-29)The implementation of automatic transit data collection via Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) and Automatic Passenger Counting (APC) systems provides an opportunity to create large, detailed datasets of transit operations. ...
