Intelligent Autonomous Data Categorization
The goal of this research was to determine if the results of a simple comparison algorithm (SCA) could be improved by adding a hyperspace analogue to language model of memory (HAL) layer to form NCA. The HAL layer provides contextual data that otherwise would be unavailable for consideration. It …

Ontology-based image categorization
… thesis, we study how semantics can improve image categorization. Previous image categorization approaches mostly neglect semantics, which has two major limitations. First, object classes have semantic overlaps. For example, “sedan” is a specific kind of “car”. However, previous approaches treat …

Categorization of Security Design Patterns
<p>Strategies for software development often slight security-related considerations, due to the difficulty of developing realizable requirements, identifying and applying appropriate techniques, and teaching secure design. This work describes a three-part strategy for addressing these concerns. …

The Consequences of Job Categorization
… job judgments are related to underlying job categorizations which represent jobholders' implicit job theories. Study 1 addressed the question of whether prompting alternative categorizations of jobs affect perceptions of the jobs' motivating potential. In two sets of conditions, subjects were …

Categorization and analyzing linked structures
In this thesis, we categorize linked structures and linked substructures each into four groups based on two attributes, sharing and cycles. We show that these two attributes can be determined at compile-time by augmenting any store-based analysis with heap reference counts and the missing link …

Traffic characterization and road categorization
This thesis looks into the ability to collect driving data reliably and cost-effectively, characterize driving behavior, categorize roads, and finally link all together in a way to minimize the fuel consumption in cars. Using an OBDII scanner, a Smartphone, and an accelerometer, we were able to …

Human iris categorization using artificial neural networks
<p>Image categorization is often performed manually, which can be a time consuming and a very difficult process, especially for human iris images. Previous researchers have been working on predicting ethnicity from texture features of iris images using other methods. This thesis is one of the the …

Effects of OCR errors on text categorization
… we report on our experiments on training and categorization of optically recognized documents. In, particular, we present a lexicon-based error correction algorithm to improve the categorization process. This algorithm is based on edit distance techniques and information from highly weighted …

Registration and categorization of camera captured documents
… Literature in document image retrieval addressed categorization of documents based on text, figures, etc. However, the scalability of existing document categorization methodologies based on logo identification is very limited. This dissertation focuses on two problems (i) registration of captured …

Distance Effects in Similarity Based Free Categorization
… the processes underlying similarity-based free categorization. Of particular interest was how temporal distance between similar objects affects the likelihood that people will put them into the same novel category. Participants engaged in a free categorization task referred to as <em>binomial …

Categorization and Sensory Profiling of Functional Beverages
… model energy drink base solutions. Of the three categorization methods, the two-step sensory sorting produced the most distinctive and defined categories. The seven functional beverage categories generated were: Enhanced Waters, Energy Drinks, Fruit Smoothies, Nutritional Drinks, Sports Drinks, …

Thematic relations in adults' concepts and categorization
"Concepts can be interrelated by their similarities according to a taxonomic kind (e.g., animal, furniture) or by their external relations within scenes or events. This latter type of relation, known as the thematic relation, is frequently found to be the basis of children's classification but not …

Color and Texture Influences in Primed Object Categorization
… beneficial in simple naming tasks whereas simple categorization tasks and priming studies reveal a more diverse range of results. Given the hypothesis that color and texture aids in facilitation of processing for a conceptual task, this study's intent is to test whether the addition of texture and …

Iris categorization using texton representation and symbolic features
… the test sample's category. The main method for categorization used in this work is texton learning. Texton learning involves creating a vocabulary of features and determining how much of each feature a given sample has. Once images are represented by textons, they are clustered in an …

Current HIV/AIDS Infection Rates: Categorization and Stigmatization
… Control (CDC). Do current AIDS rates justify the categorization of individuals into the current CDC defined "high risk" groups? I argue that the CDC's classification system marginalizes some groups while potentially providing a false sense of security to others. Do individuals engaging in …
