Abstract:
This dissertation focuses on two key issues in text mining, namely unsupervised learning and knowledge acquisition. In spite of their relative maturity, both issues still present some major challenges that need to be addressed. First, for unsupervised learning, a well-known, unresolved challenge is to perform clustering with minimal input parameters. One natural way to reach this is to involve validity indices in the clustering process. Although of great interest, validity indices were not extensively explored in the literature, especially when dealing with high-dimensional data like text. Hen

Abstract:
In this thesis we describe an approach to automatically invent/explore new mathematical theories, with the goal of producing results comparable to those produced by humans, as represented, for example, in the libraries of the Isabelle proof assistant. Our approach is based on ‘schemes’, which are formulae in higher-order logic. We show that it is possible to automate the instantiation process of schemes to generate conjectures and definitions. We also show how the new definitions and the lemmata discovered during the exploration of a theory can be used, not only to help with the proof obligati

Abstract:
No discreet study of the Spanish voyages of discovery and exploration to the northwest coast of North American during the 1770's has been published in English. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the Spanish expeditions of 1774, 1775, and 1779, directed by New Spain's Viceroy Antonio Maria Burareli y Ursua (1771-1779).

Abstract:
Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality irrespective of gender. The Sulfiredoxin (Srx) and Peroxiredoxin (Prx) are a group of thiol-based antioxidant proteins that plays an essential role in non-small cell lung cancer. Understanding the molecular characteristics of the Srx-Prx interaction may help design the strategies for future development of therapeutic tools. Based on existing literature and preliminary data from our lab, we hypothesized that the Srx plays a critical role in lung carcinogenesis and targeting the Srx-Prx axis or Srx alone may facilitate future development

Abstract:
Technological advancements and widespread adaptation of new technology in industry have made industrial time series data more available than ever before. This trend is expected to continue, especially with the introduction of Industry 4.0, where the goal is to connect everything on the industry floor to the cloud and the Industrial Internet of Things. With this development grows the need for versatile methods for mining industrial time series data. Time series motif discovery is a sub-set of data mining and is about finding interesting patterns in time series data. The state of the art in time

Abstract:
Comme le titre pourrait le suggérer, l’objectif principal de cette thèse est de fournir une meilleure compréhension de la tâche de la découverte de sous-groupes à travers la théorie de l’ordre. La découverte de sous-groupes (Subgroup Discovery - SD) est la tâche automatique dont le but est la découverte d’hypothèses intéressantes dans les bases de données. Autrement dit, étant donnée une base de donnée, l’espace de recherche de toutes les hypothèses que l’analyste voudra tester ainsi qu’un moyen formel pour évaluer la qualité de ces hypothèses ; la tâche automatique de la découverte de sous-gr

Abstract:
De par leur grand nombre et leur sévérité, les maladies rares (MR) constituent un enjeu de santé majeur. Des bases de données de référence, comme Orphanet et Orphadata, répertorient les informations disponibles à propos de ces maladies. Cependant, il est difficile pour ces bases de données de proposer un contenu complet et à jour par rapport à ce qui est disponible dans la littérature. En effet, des millions de publications scientifiques sur ces maladies sont disponibles et leur nombre augmente de façon continue. Par conséquent, il serait très fastidieux d’extraire manuellement et de façon exh
