Abstract:

A policy (or norm) can be defined as a guideline stating what is allowed, what is forbidden and what is obligated for an entity, in a certain situation, so that an acceptable outcome is achieved. Policies occur in many types of scenarios, whether they are loose social networks of individuals or highly structured institutions. It is important, however, for policies to be consistent and to support the goals of organisations they govern. This requires a thorough understanding of the implications of introducing specific policies and how they interact. It is difficult, even for experts, to write co

Abstract:

2010 - 2011<br>This dissertation collects results of the work on the interpretation, characteri- zation and quanti cation of a novel topic in the eld of detection theory -the Unlucky Broker problem-, and its asymptotic extension. The same problem can be also applied to the context of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Suppose that a WSN is engaged in a binary detection task. Each node of the system collects measurements about the state of the nature (H0 or H1) to be discovered. A common fusion center receives the observations from the sensors and implements an optimal test (for example in

Abstract:

This dissertation concerns the development of an interactive machine learning method for refinement and analysis of segmented computed tomography (CT) images. This method uses higher-level domain-dependent knowledge to improve initial image segmentation results. A knowledge-based refinement and analysis system requires the formulation of domain knowledge. A serious problem faced by knowledge-based system designers is the knowledge acquisition bottleneck. Knowledge acquisition is very challenging and an active research topic in the field of machine learning and artificial intelligence. Common

Abstract:

This thesis extended previous research on critical decision making and problem solving by refining and validating a measure designed to assess the use of critical thinking and critical discussion in sociomoral dilemmas. The purpose of this thesis was twofold: 1) to refine the administration of the Critical Thinking Subscale of the CDP to elicit more adequate responses and for purposes of refining the coding and scoring procedures for the total measure, and 2) to collect preliminary data on the initial reliabilities of the measure. Subjects consisted of 40 undergraduate students at Florida Inte

Background: Research to date has identified multiple factors that are integral to clinical decision-making. The interplay among suggested elements within the decision making process particular to the nurse, the patient, and the environment remain unknown. Determining the clinica

Abstract:

In the era of "big data revolution," marked by an exponential growth of information, extracting value from data enables analysts and businesses to address challenging problems such as drug discovery, fraud detection, and earthquake predictions. Multi-Criteria Decision Support (MCDS) queries are at the core of big-data analytics resulting in several classes of MCDS queries such as OLAP, Top-K, Pareto-optimal, and nearest neighbor queries. The intuitive nature of specifying multi-dimensional preferences has made Pareto-optimal queries, also known as skyline queries, popular. Existing skyline alg

Abstract:

This study identified the common factors that influence social care practice across disciplines (such as social work and psychology), practice fields, and geographical contexts and further developed the Practice Domain Framework as an empirically-based conceptual framework to assist practitioners in understanding practice complexities. The framework has application in critical reflection, professional supervision, interdisciplinary understanding, teamwork, management, teaching and research. A mixed-methods design was used to identify the components and structure of the refined framework. Eight

Abstract:

Ce travail contribue à la théorie de la décision possibiliste et plus précisément à la prise de décision séquentielle dans le cadre de la théorie des possibilités, à la fois au niveau théorique et pratique. Bien qu'attrayante pour sa capacité à résoudre les problèmes de décision qualitatifs, la théorie de la décision possibiliste souffre d'un inconvénient important : les critères d'utilité qualitatives possibilistes comparent les actions avec les opérateurs min et max, ce qui entraîne un effet de noyade. Pour surmonter ce manque de pouvoir décisionnel, plusieurs raffinements ont été proposés d

Abstract:

Discrete choice modelling has become the preferred empirical context to study individuals’ preferences and willingness to pay. Although the outcome is important in decision making, so is the process that individuals adopt to assist them in reaching a decision. Both should be considered when analysing individual behaviour as they represent jointly the endogeneity of choice. Traditional choice studies assume, in the main, a linear in the parameters additive in the attributes (LPAA) approach, where individuals are rational, take into account all the attributes and alternatives presented to them w

Avec la multiplication des événements de masse, la dynamique des foules est devenue un sujet d’étude de plus en plus important. Comprendre comment les groupes se déplacent et évoluent dans l'espace, en particulier à des densités moyennes et élevées, est crucial pour l'organisation de tels événements. La première section de cette thèse de doctorat présente l'un des premiers ensembles de données de terrain sur les foules denses.

Abstract:

Decision-theoretic systems, such as Markov Decision Processes (MDPs), are used for sequential decision-making under uncertainty. MDPs provide a generic framework that can be applied in various domains to compute optimal policies. This thesis presents techniques that offer explanations of optimal policies for MDPs and then refine decision theoretic models (Bayesian networks and MDPs) based on feedback from experts. Explaining policies for sequential decision-making problems is difficult due to the presence of stochastic effects, multiple possibly competing objectives and long-range effects of

North American civil infrastructures are aging. According to recent (2016) Canadian infrastructure report card, 33% of the Canadian municipal infrastructures are either in fair or below fair condition. The current deficit of replacing fair and poor municipal bridges (covers 26% of bridges) is 13 billion dollars. According to the latest report (2017) by American Society of Civil Engineers, the entire American infrastructure have been given a D+ condition rating. This includes some of the structural elements of infrastructures that pose a significant risk and there is an urgent need for frequent
