      You, Yuzhe (University of Waterloo, 2023-06-28)
      Adversarial machine learning (AML) focuses on studying attacks that can fool machine learning algorithms into generating incorrect outcomes as well as the defenses against worst-case attacks to strengthen the adversarial ...
    • Advisor Networks and Referrals for Improved Trust Modelling in Multi-Agent Systems 

      Gorner, Joshua Mark (University of Waterloo, 2011-02-16)
      This thesis relates to the usage of trust modelling in multi-agent systems - environments in which there are interacting software agents representing various users (for example, buyers and sellers exchanging products and ...
    • The aesthetics of science fiction spaceship design 

      Kinnear, Kate (University of Waterloo, 2010-01-18)
      In this thesis, we present a detailed analysis of the conventions that appear in fictional spaceship design, including a discussion of their origins, their uses in emulating certain traits, and reasons these conventions ...
    • Affect Lexicon Induction For the Github Subculture Using Distributed Word Representations 

      Jiao, Yuwei (University of Waterloo, 2018-11-06)
      Sentiments and emotions play essential roles in small group interactions, especially in self-organized collaborative groups. Many people view sentiments as universal constructs; however, cultural differences exist in some ...
    • Affective and Human-Like Virtual Agents 

      Budnarain, Neil Bhavendra (University of Waterloo, 2020-09-29)
      In Artificial Intelligence (AI) one of the technological goals is to build intelligent systems that not only perform human level tasks efficiently, but can also simulate and exhibit human-like behaviour. As the emphasis ...
    • Affective Expressions in Conversational Agents for Learning Environments: Effects of curiosity, humour, and expressive auditory gestures 

      Ceha, Jessy (University of Waterloo, 2021-12-13)
      Conversational agents -- systems that imitate natural language discourse -- are becoming an increasingly prevalent human-computer interface, being employed in various domains including healthcare, customer service, and ...
    • Affective Sentiment and Emotional Analysis of Pull Request Comments on GitHub 

      Rishi, Deepak (University of Waterloo, 2017-12-15)
      Sentiment and emotional analysis on online collaborative software development forums can be very useful to gain important insights into the behaviors and personalities of the developers. Such information can later on be ...
    • An Affine Semi-Lagrangian Advection Method 

      Marcoux-Ouellet, Jade (University of Waterloo, 2019-01-08)
      In computer graphics, the standard semi-Lagrangian advection as in the work of Stam (1999) is a widespread unconditionally stable transport scheme used in incompressible fluid solvers. Due to its stability, which disconnects ...
    • AfriBERTa: Towards Viable Multilingual Language Models for Low-resource Languages 

      Ogueji, Kelechi (University of Waterloo, 2022-08-29)
      There are over 7000 languages spoken on earth, but many of these languages suffer from a dearth of natural language processing (NLP) tools. Multilingual pretrained language models have been introduced to help alleviate ...
    • The aftermath of a crypto-ransomware attack at a large academic institution 

      Zhang-Kennedy, Leah; Assal, Hala; Rocheleau, Jessica; Mohamed, Reham; Baig, Khadija; Chiasson, Sonia (USENIX, 2018-08)
      In 2016, a large North American university was subject to a significant crypto-ransomware attack and did not pay the ransom. We conducted a survey with 150 respondents and interviews with 30 affected students, staff, and ...
    • Agent-Based Modeling Framework for Energy Policies 

      Adepetu, Adedamola (University of Waterloo, 2016-08-09)
