Art and analogy through evolutionary computation
(NUI Galway, 2019-04-05)
In this thesis the development of a computer system capable of generating art through the process of analogy is presented. A visual display is generated analogous to a given piece of music. This analogy is based upon the ...
A constructivist grounded theory study of the enablers and development of trust in scrum teams
(NUI Galway, 2019-08-19)
The academic discourse is replete with aphorisms advocating the need for trust in Scrum teams. However, whilst trust is believed to be necessary to foster knowledge sharing and collaboration within the Scrum team no research ...
Neural transfer learning for natural language processing
(NUI Galway, 2019-06-07)
The current generation of neural network-based natural language processing models excels at learning from large amounts of labelled data. Given these capabilities, natural language processing is increasingly applied to new ...
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 ...
Promoting the evolution of cooperation in social dilemma games using contingent mobility strategies
(NUI Galway, 2019-04-05)
Researchers in many domains use social dilemmas to explore the conditions necessary for cooperation to emerge among groups. Social dilemmas, and in particular the Prisoner’s Dilemma, are used because of their usefulness ...
The evolution of behaviours in swarms of robots
(NUI Galway, 2019-12-09)
Evolutionary swarm robotics uses evolutionary computational techniques to synthesise behaviours for a group of autonomous robots. In a swarm of robots, the collective behaviour of the robots results from the local interactions ...
