Structure in Stable Matching Problems
(University of Waterloo, 2016-12-14)In this thesis we provide two contributions to the study of structure in stable matching problems. The first contribution is a short new proof for the integrality of Rothblum’s linear description of the convex hull of ... -
Structured Mixture Models
(University of Waterloo, 2023-08-11)Finite mixture models are a staple of model-based clustering approaches for distinguishing subgroups. A common mixture model is the finite Gaussian mixture model, whose degrees of freedom scales quadratically with increasing ... -
Structured Prediction on Dirty Datasets
(University of Waterloo, 2021-12-20)Many errors cannot be detected or repaired without taking into account the underlying structure and dependencies in the dataset. One way of modeling the structure of the data is graphical models. Graphical models combine ... -
Structured Reverse Mode Automatic Differentiation in Nested Monte Carlo Simulations
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-17)In many practical large scale computational problems, the calculation of partial derivatives of the object function f with respect to input parameters are entailed and the dimension of inputs n is much larger the one of ... -
Structured Total Least Squares for Approximate Polynomial Operations
(University of Waterloo, 2004)This thesis presents techniques for accurately computing a number of fundamental operations on approximate polynomials. The general goal is to determine nearby polynomials which have a non-trivial result for the operation. ... -
Struts2JSF: Framework Migration in J2EE Using Framework Specific Modeling Languages
(University of Waterloo, 2007-05-16)Java 2 Enterprise Edition is a portable, robust, scalable and secure platform for enterprise software development based on Java technologies, and embraces open standards through the Java Community Process (JCP). J2EE ... -
Student Success in Co-operative Education: An Analysis of Job Postings and Performance Evaluations
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-26)Co-operative education (co-op) programs combine coursework and work internships and have become popular worldwide. In this analysis, we use two separate co-op datasets to understand employer expectations and factors that ... -
Studies of tumor heterogeneity, tumor microenvironment, and radiotherapy: A mathematical and computational approach
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-04)Radiotherapy uses high doses of energy to eradicate cancer cells and thus destroy the bulk of tumors. Radiobiologists try to precisely deliver radiation to a targeted area in order to maximize the cancer cell kill rate ... -
A Study in Preference Elicitation under Uncertainty
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-30)In many areas of Artificial Intelligence (AI), we are interested in helping people make better decisions. This help can result in two advantages. First, computers can process large amounts of data and perform quick ... -
A Study of Adaptation Mechanisms for Simulation Algorithms
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-30)The performance of a program can sometimes greatly improve if it was known in advance the features of the input the program is supposed to process, the actual operating parameters it is supposed to work with, or the ... -
A Study of Efficiency, Accuracy, and Robustness in Intensity-Based Rigid Image Registration
(University of Waterloo, 2008-09-30)Image registration is widely used in different areas nowadays. Usually, the efficiency, accuracy, and robustness in the registration process are concerned in applications. This thesis studies these issues by presenting an ... -
A Study of Immediate Requery Behavior in Search
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2018-03-11)When search results fail to satisfy users' information needs, users often reformulate their search query in the hopes of receiving better results. In many cases, users immediately requery without clicking on any search ... -
A Study of Infectious Disease Models with Switching
(University of Waterloo, 2009-05-20)Infectious disease models with switching are constructed and investigated in detail. Modelling infectious diseases as switched systems, which are systems that combine continuous dynamics with discrete logic, allows for the ... -
A study of object creators in JavaScript
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-23)Traditional object-oriented languages use typed classes to specify the shape and behaviour of objects. In JavaScript, object behaviour is less constrained. Learning how JavaScript programmers create objects can help us ... -
A study of one-turn quantum refereed games
(University of Waterloo, 2020-07-13)This thesis studies one-turn quantum refereed games, which are abstract zero-sum games with two competing computationally unbounded quantum provers and a computationally bounded quantum referee. The provers send quantum ... -
Study of Singular Capillary Surfaces and Development of the Cluster Newton Method
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-29)In this thesis, we explore two important aspects of study of differential equations: analytical and computational aspects. We first consider a partial differential equation model for a static liquid surface (capillary ... -
A Study of the Capabilities of Message-Oriented Middleware Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-27)We present a comprehensive characterization study of open-source Message-Oriented Middleware (MOM) systems. We devised a rigorous methodology to select and study 10 popular and diverse MOM systems. For each system, we ... -
A Study of the Structural Similarity Image Quality Measure with Applications to Image Processing
(University of Waterloo, 2012-09-07)Since its introduction in 2004, the Structural Similarity (SSIM) index has gained widespread popularity as an image quality assessment measure. SSIM is currently recognized to be one of the most powerful methods of assessing ... -
A Study of Time Representation in a Class of Short Term Scheduling Problems
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-17)The problem of scheduling operations has received significant attention from academia and industrial practitioners in the past few decades. A key decision in various scheduling operations problems is when to perform an ... -
A Study of Using Chinese Restaurant Process Mixture Models in Information Retrieval
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-16)Retrieval systems help users to isolate relevant information from massive data collections. Usually, a user obtains useful information by submitting a query to such a system. One critical issue is that a query could have ...
