T-Spline Simplification
… This thesis develops and compares the two simplification methods, determining the simplification tasks to which each is best suited. In addition, this thesis documents supporting developments made to T-spline research as simplification was developed.

TEXT COMPLEXITY AND TEXT SIMPLIFICATION
… translation tasks) Text Complexity and Text Simplification in the Crisis Management domain 4 show a positive impact of the controlled language on simplified documents and thus ensure the quality of the resource. The evaluation of users’ acceptability contributes additional findings about …

Sentence Simplification for Text Processing
… I present a new approach to automatic sentence simplification which processes sentences containing compound clauses and complex noun phrases (NPs) and converts them into sequences of simple sentences which contain fewer of these constituents and have reduced per sentence propositional density …

Scalable subgraph representation learning through simplification
Link prediction on graphs is a fundamental problem. Subgraph representation learning approaches (SGRLs), by transforming link prediction to graph classification on the subgraphs around the links, have achieved state-of-the-art performance in link prediction. However, SGRLs are computationally …

Large graph simplification, clustering and visualization
… We thus present two novel approaches, a simplification method and a clustering method, that analyze graph structure and generate effective visualizations. The simplification method ranks graph edges and removes ""unimportant"" ones to clarify the visualization. Whereas the clustering …

New Data-Driven Approaches to Text Simplification
… to process. This motivated the need for text simplification (TS) which transforms texts into their simpler variants. Given that this is still a relatively new research area, many challenges are still remaining. The focus of this thesis is on better understanding the current problems in …

Mood Simplification: Adverbial Clauses in Heritage Spanish
Results show that position does not play a big role in recognizing and using the subjunctive. There are similarities between the monolingual and heritage speakers regarding familiarity with and use of the grammatical subjunctive. Heritage speakers seem to be more tolerant towards the ungrammatical …

Channel shortening equalizers for UWB receiver design simplification
Ultra Wideband (UWB) communication systems occupy large bandwidths with very low power spectral densities. This feature makes UWB channels highly rich in multipaths. To exploit the temporal diversity, a UWB receiver usually incorporates Rake reception. Each multipath in the channel carries just a …

Enhancing Hex-dominant Meshes: Generation, Evaluation, and Simplification
… Fourth, I presented a first structure-informed simplification framework aimed at reducing the number of non-hex cells in hex-dominant meshes. My framework eliminates non-hex cells by using a novel relation graph that captures the connections involving edges and extracted sub-structures. I …

Structure as simplification : transportation tools for understanding data
The typical machine learning algorithms looks for a pattern in data, and makes an assumption that the signal to noise ratio of the pattern is high. This approach depends strongly on the quality of the datasets these algorithms operate on, and many complex algorithms fail in spectacular fashion on …

Model simplification of chemical kinetic systems under uncertainty
… the impact of uncertainty on the reduction and simplification of chemical kinetics mechanisms. Chemical kinetics simulations of complex fuels are very computationally expensive, especially when combined with transport, and so reduction or simplification must be used to make them more tractable. …

Lagrangian-based Simplification and Feature Estimation for Flow Visualization
Vector fields are commonly used in various engineering and scientific applications for the study of different dynamical systems. Their analysis and visualization is of paramount importance to those applications. There are two different representations of vector field (or flow) data, i.e., the …

Regularity-Preserving Terrain Simplification For Faster Line-of-Sight
… these queries can be expensive. Terrain simplification can be used to speed up the queries, with a penalty to accuracy. To take advantage of the especially fast algorithms that exist for regular terrain models, we introduce regularity-preserving terrain simplification methods based on …

Simplification of the Environmental Life Style Analysis (ELSA) model
… a specific category to impact. This allowed the simplification of the model into a simple eight input version. When this model was tested using values of average expenditure for 1997, it was found to accurately calculate CO2 emissions. While the energy calculations were not particularly accurate, …
