Chang, Michelle T. "Collection understanding." Thesis, Texas A&M University, 2003. http://hdl.handle.net/1969.1/69.

Full text

Abstract:

Collection understanding shifts the traditional focus of retrieval in large collections from locating specific artifacts to gaining a comprehensive view of the collection. Visualization tools are critical to the process of efficient collection understanding. By presenting simple visual interfaces and intuitive methods of interacting with a collection, users come to understand the essence of the collection by focusing on the artifacts. This thesis discusses a practical approach for enhancing collection understanding in image collections.

Abstract:

An important element of successful engineering design is the effective management of resources to support design decisions. Design decisions can be thought of as having two phasesa formulation phase and a solution phase. As part of the formulation phase, engineers must decide how much information to collect and which models to use to support the design decision. Since more information and more accurate models come at a greater cost, a cost-benefit trade-off must be made. Previous work has considered such trade-offs in decision problems when all aspects of the decision problem can be repres

Abstract:

Monitoring weapons proliferation requires detecting and tracking weapons transfers. Many public sources of weapons-transfer data come from incomplete and manually collected and maintained government and commercial records. We propose a technique to gather weapons-transfer information by mining publicly available Web pages for features, which we categorize as arms, actions, actors, or money. We design a retrieval system and parser, and develop techniques for extracting currency values from text, measuring precision without available training data, and measuring recall with a parallel but differ

A parallel and concurrent garbage collector offers low latency spikes. A common approach in such collectors is to move objects around in memory without stopping the application. This imposes additional overhead on an application in the form of tracking objects' movements, so that all pointers to them, can eventually be updated to the new locations. Typical ways of storing this information suffer from pathological cases where the size of this "forwarding information" can theoretically become as big as the heap itself.

Abstract:

Business Administration/Accounting<br>Ph.D.<br>I examine how managers mitigate the side effects of the overly complicated performance evaluation system in the context of a high-end retail industry. The standard performance evaluation system in the industry has evolved to include multiple performance measures. The detailed measures can incentivize employees to perform multiple performance-relevant activities, but they inevitably increase the complexity of the performance evaluation system. The complexity increases the risk of information overload of the employees, decreasing judgment quality an

Abstract:

Peer to peer systems have been widely used in the internet. However, most of the peer to peer information systems are still missing some of the important features, for example cross-language IR (Information Retrieval) and collection selection / fusion features. Cross-language IR is the state-of-art research area in IR research community. It has not been used in any real world IR systems yet. Cross-language IR has the ability to issue a query in one language and receive documents in other languages. In typical peer to peer environment, users are from multiple countries.
