Advances in evolutionary neural networks with applications in energy systems and the environment
(NUI Galway, 2018-08-29)
Evolutionary neural networks combine two of the most powerful areas of computing, evolutionary algorithms and neural networks. There are a number of benefits of using evolutionary algorithms to train a network over traditional ...
Hybrid systems modelling aided by machine learning with applications in healthcare
(NUI Galway, 2018-03)
Recent trends towards data-driven methods may require a substantial rethinking of the process of developing simulation models. For instance, Machine Learning (ML) has demonstrated great potentials for constructing new ...
Signal and image processing technology for smart agriculture applications
(NUI Galway, 2019-04-25)
This thesis is concerned with development of signal and image processing technology for
smart agriculture applications, with a particular focus on applications in automatic weeding
systems. Developing an automatic weeding ...
Towards improved breast cancer diagnosis using microwave technology and machine learning
(NUI Galway, 2018-09-28)
Today, the early detection of breast cancer for asymptomatic women primarily relies on generalised screening programmes with x-ray mammography. However, the long-term value of screening mammography has been questioned due ...
Suggestion mining from text
(NUI Galway, 2019-02-21)
With the ever growing availability of opinions on the web, opinion mining has become a popular area of research in the fields of natural language processing and applied machine learning. We argue that opinion summaries ...
Electrical impedance tomography for static lesion detection and identification in the brain
(NUI Galway, 2020-08-20)
There is a clinical need for a novel approach to the detection of brain haemorrhage and clots. Such static lesions are characteristic of important conditions such as stroke, and traumatic brain injury. In these conditions ...
The application of machine learning to optimise live migration in cloud data centres
(NUI Galway, 2019-08-06)
Cloud computing providers utilise large-scale data centres to provide computing resource to users’ worldwide. However, an ongoing challenge facing cloud providers is to ensure that the required resource is available to ...
Unsupervised target-driven artificial neural networks for dynamic DDoS mitigation within the ISP domain
(NUI Galway, 2020-10-08)
Contemporary Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack vectors can change their
traffic patterns during the time when an attack is underway, and as such, pre-trained
models can struggle to identify new attack traffic ...
