Multi-attribute taxi logistics optimization
According to U.S. government surveys, 12% of Americans used taxi service in the previous month' and spent about $3.7 billion a year for cab fare.2 Taxi service is one of the major modes of public transportation. Despite providing services 24 hours a day, driving relentlessly with an empty taxicab …

Multi-attribute tradespace exploration for survivability
… utility, and operational survivability. Multi-Attribute Tradespace Exploration (MATE) for Survivability is introduced as a system analysis methodology to improve the generation and evaluation of survivable alternatives during conceptual design. MATE for Survivability applies decision theory to …

A multi-attribute layout design problem
… available today consider either the quantitative attribute or the qualitative attribute of the layout problem. These procedures are based on maximizing or minimizing one objective function. Some of the procedures that address the multi-attribute nature of the plant layout problem are based on …

High-dimensional classification and attribute-based forecasting
This thesis consists of two parts. The first part focuses on high-dimensional classification problems in microarray experiments. The second part deals with forecasting problems with a large number of categories in predictors. Classification problems in microarray experiments refer to discriminating …

How to attribute credit if you must
… In this thesis, we discuss how to fairly attribute credit between all sources of knowledge that contribute to new pieces of academic research, using citation network analysis and centrality measures. Katz centrality, in-degree centrality, and PageRank are three potentially useful …

Mapping Genotype to Phenotype using Attribute Grammar
… phenotype using formal language theory. We use attribute grammars (AGs) to extract context-dependent information from genetic constructs and compile them into mathematical models, possibly giving clues about their phenotypes. They may be used as a backbone for biological Domain-Specific …

A comprehensive study of multiplicative attribute graph model
… social network model, named the Multiplicative Attribute Graph model (MAG), which takes into account the randomness of nodal attributes in the process of link formation (i.e., the probability of a link existing between two nodes depends on their attributes). Kim and Lesckovec, who defined the …

Ordered Category Attribute Coding Framework for Cognitive Assessments
… the skill or not. I propose an Ordered Category Attribute Coding (OCAC) framework, designed to enhance the diagnostic information provided by such models. This approach defines any skill, k, by the Mk steps taken to master it. Consequently, the entries of the categorical Q matrix represent …

Knowledge management practices in automotive safety attribute development
Organizations strive continuously to become efficient. Over the years many of them have tried to attain this through streamlining or reengineering their product development practices. 'While some of them succeed others are less successful. Product development organizations within automotive …

Towards Fine-grained Multi-Attribute Control using Language Models
… constraints over multiple classifier-based attributes. In this thesis, I show a study of contextual offensive behavior of pretrained large language models and curate a high-quality dataset for toxicity detection. Next, I introduce a novel offline RL algorithm that can utilize arbitrary …

Towards Practical and Secure Decentralized Attribute -Based Authorization Systems
We first show that existing ABAC theory does not properly account for the asynchronous nature of open systems, which allows attackers to subvert these systems by forcing decisions to be made using inconsistent system states. To address this, we develop provably-secure and lightweight consistency …
