Advancing Antibody Design: Integrating Protein Language Models for Enhanced Computational Strategies
(University of Waterloo, 2024-01-25)Antibodies, or immunoglobulins, are integral to the immune response, playing a crucial role in recognizing and neutralizing external threats such as pathogens. The design of these molecules, however, is complex due to the ... -
AdvEx: Interactive Visual Explorations of Adversarial Evasion Attacks
(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
(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
(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
(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
(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 Sentiment and Emotional Analysis of Pull Request Comments on GitHub
(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
(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
(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 ... -
Aggregation of Heterogeneous Anomaly Detectors for Cyber-Physical Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-07)Distributed, life-critical systems that bridge the gap between software and hardware are becoming an integral part of our everyday lives. From autonomous cars to smart electrical grids, such cyber-physical systems will ... -
Agile Architecture Recovery
(University of Waterloo, 2002)Many software development projects start with an existing code base that has to be tightly integrated into a new system. In order to make a robust system that will achieve the desired business goals, developers must be ... -
Aiding Human Discovery of Out-of-the-Moment Handwriting Recognition Errors
(University of Waterloo, 2009-04-30)Handwriting recognizers frequently misinterpret digital ink input, requiring human verification of recognizer output to identify and correct errors, before the output of the recognizer can be used with any confidence int ... -
Algorithms and Design Principles for Rural Kiosk Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-19)The KioskNet project aims to provide extremely low-cost Internet access to rural kiosks in developing countries, where conventional access technologies, \eg\, DSL, CDMA and dial-up, are currently economically infeasible. ... -
Algorithms for fast linear system solving and rank profile computation
(University of Waterloo, 2014-07-16)We give randomized algorithms for linear algebra problems concerning an n*m input matrix A over a field K. We give an algorithm that simultaneously computes the row and column rank profiles of A in 2r^3 + (r^2+n+m+|A|)^{1+o(1)} ... -
Algorithms for Linearly Recurrent Sequences of Truncated Polynomials
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-17)Linear recurrent sequences are those whose elements are defined as linear combinations of preceding elements, and finding recurrence relations is a fundamental problem in computer algebra. In this paper, we focus on sequences ... -
Algorithms for Optimizing Search Schedules in a Polygon
(University of Waterloo, 2008-09-10)In the area of motion planning, considerable work has been done on guarding problems, where "guards", modelled as points, must guard a polygonal space from "intruders". Different variants of this problem involve varying ... -
Algorithms for the Optimization of Quantum Circuits
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-30)This thesis investigates techniques for the automated optimization of quantum circuits. In the first part we develop an exponential time algorithm for synthesizing minimal depth quantum circuits. We combine this with ... -
Algorizmi: A Configurable Virtual Testbed to Generate Datasets for Offline Evaluation of Intrusion Detection Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-13)Intrusion detection systems (IDSes) are an important security measure that network administrators adopt to defend computer networks against malicious attacks and intrusions. The field of IDS research includes many challenges. ... -
All-or-Nothing Private Record Linkage over Streaming Data
