Building query-based relevance sets without human intervention
… the relevance assessments is done manually by human judges. But in large scale environments, such as the web, examining each document retrieved to determine its relevance is not possible. In the past there have been several studies that aimed to reduce the human effort required in building …

Fitting binary lens gravitational microlensing events with example-based algorithms
… binary lens model with minimal human intervention.

Automated Filtering and Attribution of Archive Bathymetry Based on A Priori Knowledge
… Current efforts to utilize these data require human intervention to remove outliers and assess quality. This thesis develops automated algorithms based on a priori knowledge of existing bathymetric topography to remove errant soundings and concurrently provide an estimate of uncertainty.</p>

The impacts of different methods of alien plant control on the recovery of Fynbos ecosystems
… over time is adequate to restore fynbos (without human intervention).

A secure architecture for electronic check processing
… the cost is due to the time and fees related to human intervention and the physical transport of a check. Gupta and Palacios [15] have defined a web-based check processing mechanism; this paper extends the framework they have developed and defines a cryptographic protocol for the transmission of …

The necessity for permanence : making a nuclear waste storage facility
… the environment by either natural causes or by human intervention. This thesis investigates techniques of preventing curious or oblivious people from breaking into this highly toxic repository. It is a situation where the form must communicate meaning over many millennia in the absence of a …

An Axis Through Nature: Ranger Station at Pandapas Pond
My thesis is a human intervention into the tranquil and natural environment of Pandapas Pond and the Jefferson National Forest. Although the form of the intervention embraces the landscape and natural land formations, its purpose is to take the visitor along a path that translates the experience …

Between nature and culture: a stone masonry school and walking path at the Strand Street Quarry
… narratives into the public realm. The proposed intervention aspires to, if anything, subtlety. It seeks to make the value of the histories of the site evident to the user in such a way that they are compelled to find meaning individually, to interact with the site and the landscape in a …

Bio-inspired vision-based evasion control: collision avoidance without distance measurement
… enabling autonomous operations, and minimizing human intervention. While the minimization of human intervention has the objective of minimizing the impact of potential human errors, it comes at the price of rigorously formulating and solving challenging problems as collision avoidance that …

Geolocation of Utility Assets Using Omnidirectional Ground-Based Photographic Imagery
… appropriate training data are provided. Further human intervention would only be necessary in a small fraction of cases, where very high uncertainty is flagged by the system. The feasibility of the process is demonstrated here, and a path to full integration is presented.

Artificial intelligence impact on occupations and workforce
… researchers that automated technologies without human intervention may transform occupations across the economy. My research seeks to assess how and where ML will affect the workforce. I extend the ideas of Brynjolfsson, Mitchell, and Rock (2018), who assess each task in the economy for its …

Learned scheduling for database management systems
… and neural networks, and does not require human intervention beyond an objective, such as reducing average job completion time. We use existing training techniques for job schedulers with dependency constraints. However, the model is specialized for database workloads using features …

Divinely ordained death? Exploring religious determinants of support for capital punishment, abortion, and euthanasia
… which shapes individuals’ attitudes toward human intervention in death is religion. Another salient determinant is the effect of racial differences. This dissertation argues that religion and race cause significant changes in individuals’ mindsets toward human intervention in the death …

Human-machine teaming for intelligent demand planning
… Today collaboration is switching from just among humans to between humans and machines. Mundane and repetitive tasks will be done by machines automatically, while humans can develop insights and make wise decisions supported by data streaming from intelligent machines. If and how different …

Immediate benefits of remediation wetlands designed for treating acid mine drainage on Signal Mountain, Tennessee
… will be dependent on wetland upkeep through human intervention.

Automatic mesh representation of urban environments
… mesh generated is watertight with little human intervention and can serve as a significant preprocessing tool in environmental computational fluid dynamics. Although, there are a few existing methodologies in the literature, most are limited in capacity and are difficult to implement.

Automatic road network extraction from high resolution satellite imagery using spectral classification methods
… some erroneous and incomplete results and costly human intervention is still required to evaluate results and correct errors. With the aim of improving the accuracy of road extraction systems, three objectives are defined in this thesis: Firstly, the study seeks to develop a flexible …

Semi supervised weighted maximum variance dimensionality reduction
… of data which we want to classify with minimal human intervention. Only few features from the data that is available might be useful in some scenarios. In those scenarios, the dimensionality reduction methods play a major role for extracting useful features. The two parameter weighted maximum …

Self-* properties of multi sensing entities in smart environments
… organizational structures without requiring human intervention. Focusing on image sensing and machine vision techniques, we propose to investigate how small, unspecialized, low-processing sensing entities can self-organize to create a scalable, fault tolerant, decentralized, and easily …
