    • End-to-end Neural Information Retrieval 

      Yang, Wei (University of Waterloo, 2019-04-30)
      In recent years we have witnessed many successes of neural networks in the information retrieval community with lots of labeled data. Yet it remains unknown whether the same techniques can be easily adapted to search ...
    • End-to-End Whole Slide Image Classification and Search using Set Representations 

      You, Bo Yang (University of Waterloo, 2022-08-31)
      Due to the sheer size of gigapixel whole slide images (WSIs), it is difficult to apply deep learning and computer vision algorithms for digital pathology. Traditional approaches rely on extracting meaningful patches from ...
    • Energy Efficient RPL Routing Protocol in Smart Buildings 

      Rezaei, Elnaz (University of Waterloo, 2014-06-20)
      Energy is an important factor that must be considered by multi-hop wireless mesh routing protocols because most sensors are powered by batteries with a limited capacity. We focus on the industry-standard RPL (Routing ...
    • Energy Shaping for Systems with Two Degrees of Underactuation 

      Ng, Wai Man (University of Waterloo, 2012-01-11)
      In this thesis we are going to study the energy shaping problem on controlled Lagrangian systems with degree of underactuation less than or equal to two. Energy shaping is a method of stabilization by designing a suitable ...
    • Energy transport in saturated porous media 

      Gerasik, Volodymyr (University of Waterloo, 2011-04-29)
      The energy analysis of the wave motion in the Lamb’s problem for a poroelastic half-space in the framework of Biot’s theory is presented. The results for the energy velocity and quality factor of poroelastic waves are ...
    • Energy-Efficient Transaction Scheduling in Data Systems 

      Korkmaz, Mustafa (University of Waterloo, 2021-03-30)
      Natural short term fluctuations in the load of transactional data systems present an opportunity for power savings. For example, a system handling 1000 requests per second on average can expect more than 1000 requests in ...
    • Engineering truly automated data integration and translation systems 

      Warren, Robert H (University of Waterloo, 2008-01-23)
      This thesis presents an automated, data-driven integration process for relational databases. Whereas previous integration methods assumed a large amount of user involvement as well as the availability of database meta-data, ...
    • Enhanced Backward Multiple Change-Point Detection 

      Pirnia, Shahab (University of Waterloo, 2023-05-09)
      Many statistical tools are built upon a specific set of assumptions on the distribution of the data at hand. However, the distribution of the observations in the dataset may not remain constant and may change due to some ...
    • Enhanced Multi-Touch Gestures for Complex Tasks 

      Avery, Jeff (University of Waterloo, 2018-12-21)
      Recent technological advances have resulted in a major shift, from high-performance notebook and desktop computers -- devices that rely on keyboard and mouse for input -- towards smaller, personal devices like smartphones, ...
    • Enhancements to Hidden Markov Models for Gene Finding and Other Biological Applications 

      Vinar, Tomas (University of Waterloo, 2005)
      In this thesis, we present enhancements of hidden Markov models for the problem of finding genes in DNA sequences. Genes are the parts of DNA that serve as a template for synthesis of proteins. Thus, gene finding ...
    • Enhancing Data Processing on Clouds with Hadoop/HBase 

      Zhang, Chen (University of Waterloo, 2011-10-12)
      In the current information age, large amounts of data are being generated and accumulated rapidly in various industrial and scientific domains. This imposes important demands on data processing capabilities that can extract ...
    • Enhancing Recommender Systems with Causal Inference Methodologies 

      Huang, Huiqing (University of Waterloo, 2023-08-22)
      In the current era of data deluge, recommender systems (RSs) are widely recognized as one of the most effective tools for information filtering. However, traditional RSs are founded on associational relationships among ...
    • The Enigma History and Mathematics 

      Faint, Stephanie (University of Waterloo, 2016-10-25)
      In this thesis we look at the solution to the German code machine, the Enigma machine. This solution was originally found by Polish cryptologists. We look at the solution from a historical perspective, but most importantly, ...
    • Entanglement Entropy in Quantum Gravity 

      Donnelly, William (University of Waterloo, 2008-05-22)
      We study a proposed statistical explanation for the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of a black hole in which entropy arises quantum-mechanically as a result of entanglement. Arguments for the identification of black hole entropy ...
    • Entanglement in single-shot quantum channel discrimination 

      Puzzuoli, Daniel (University of Waterloo, 2018-08-30)
      Single-shot quantum channel discrimination is the fundamental task of determining, given only a single use, which of two known quantum channels is acting on a system. In this thesis we investigate the well-known phenomenon ...
    • Entire Solutions to Dirichlet Type Problems 

      Sitar, Scott (University of Waterloo, 2007-08-02)
      In this thesis, we examined some Dirichlet type problems of the form: \begin{eqnarray*} \triangle u & = & 0\ {\rm in\ } \mathbb{R}^n \\ u & = & f\ {\rm on\ } \psi = 0, \end{eqnarray*} and we were particularly ...
    • Entity Matching and Disambiguation Across Multiple Knowledge Graphs 

      Farag, Michael (University of Waterloo, 2019-06-10)
      Knowledge graphs are considered an important representation that lie between free text on one hand and fully-structured relational data on the other. Knowledge graphs are a back-bone of many applications on the Web. With ...
    • Entropic Matroids and Their Representation 

      Abbe, Emmanuel; Spirkl, Sophie (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2019)
      This paper investigates entropic matroids, that is, matroids whose rank function is given as the Shannon entropy of random variables. In particular, we consider p-entropic matroids, for which the random variables each have ...
    • Entropy and Graphs 

      Changiz Rezaei, Seyed Saeed (University of Waterloo, 2014-01-23)
      The entropy of a graph is a functional depending both on the graph itself and on a probability distribution on its vertex set. This graph functional originated from the problem of source coding in information theory and ...
    • Entropy-based aggregate posterior alignment techniques for deterministic autoencoders and implications for adversarial examples 

      Ghose, Amur (University of Waterloo, 2020-08-27)
      We present results obtained in the context of generative neural models — specifically autoencoders — utilizing standard results from coding theory. The methods are fairly elementary in principle, yet, combined with the ...
