Generalized conflict learning for hybrid discrete/linear optimization
… algorithms have formed the core of practical, model-based reasoning systems for the last three decades. In many of these applications there is a series of discrete constraint optimization problems and a conflict-directed search algorithm, which uses conflicts in the forward search step to focus …

Sensitivity Analysis and Forecasting in Network Epidemiology Models
… several methods have been proposed for real-time modeling and forecasting of the epidemic curve. These methods range from simple compartmental models to complex agent-based models. In this dissertation, we present a model-based reasoning approach to forecasting the epidemic curve and estimating …

Planning and Scheduling in Temporally Uncertain Domains
Any form of model-based reasoning is limited by the adherence of the model to the actual reality. Scheduling is the problem of finding a suitable timing to execute a given set of activities accommodating complex temporal constraints. Planning is the problem of finding a strategy for an agent to …

A model-based alarm processor for the assessment of protection systems performance
… conditions. This thesis presents the use of model-based reasoning for the analysis of SCADA data for the validation of protection performance and the identification of network incidents. The base requirements were determined in conjunction with a transmission system operator within the United …

Probabilistic reasoning and inference for systems biology
… the important challenges in Systems Biology is reasoning and performing hypotheses testing in uncertain conditions, when available knowledge may be incomplete and the experimental data may contain substantial noise. In this thesis we develop methods of probabilistic reasoning and inference that …

Inductive Monitoring Systems: A CubeSat Ground-Based Prototype
… health monitoring process, referred to as model-based reasoning, by automating the process of classifying healthy states and anomaly detection. An IMS prototype was designed and implemented in MATLAB. A verification analysis then determined if the IMS program could connect to a CubeSat in a …

Reasoning with models of probabilistic knowledge over probabilistic knowledge
… In this thesis, we answer the question of how to model this probabilistic knowledge and reason about it efficiently. Modal logics enable representation of knowledge and belief by explicit reference to classical logical formulas in addition to references to those formulas’ truth values. Traditional …

Neurocognitive Mechanisms of Learning and Decision-Making in Adolescent-OCD: A Computational Approach
… altered in adult OCD such as goal directed/model-based reasoning, meta-cognition, and feedback sensitivity. I aimed to delineate these various processes using a battery of suitably complex cognitive tasks. Moreover, I highlighted that majority of past studies fail to find differences between …

Knowledge-based approaches to fault diagnosis. The development, implementation, evaluation and comparison of knowledge-based systems, incorporating deep and shallow knowledge, to aid in the diagnosis of faults in complex hydro-mechanical devices.
The use of knowledge-based systems to aid in the diagnosis of faults in physical devices has grown considerably since their introduction during the 1970s. The majority of the early knowledge-based systems incorporated shallow knowledge, which sought to define simple cause and effect relationships …
