Applying machine learning to event data in soccer
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Soccer is the world's most popular sport but published research in soccer analytics has yet to attain the same level of sophistication as analytics in other professional sports. We hope to discover new knowledge from a ... -
Applying natural language models and causal models to project management systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)This thesis concerns itself with two problems. First, it examines ways in which to use natural language features in time-varying data in predictive models, specifically applied to the problem of software project maintenance. ... -
Applying network coding to TCP
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)In this thesis, I contribute to the design and implemention of a new TCP-like protocol, CTCP, that uses network coding to provide better network use of the network bandwidth in a wireless environment. CTCP provides the ... -
Applying probabilistic rules to relational worlds
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003) -
Applying quantitative models to evaluate complexity in video game systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)This thesis proposes a games evaluation model that reports significant statistics about the complexity of a game's various systems. Quantitative complexity measurements allow designers to make accurate decisions about how ... -
Applying risk informed methodologies to improve the economics of sodium-cooled fast reactors
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)In order to support the increasing demand for clean sustainable electricity production and for nuclear waste management, the Sodium-Cooled Fast Reactor (SFR) is being developed. The main drawback has been its high capital ... -
Applying Robotic Process Automation in the Banking Industry
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-06)In recent years, Robotic Process Automation (RPA) has attracted much attention. With predetermined programs, it can execute tasks that are rule-based, high-information, and repetitive. Nowadays, RPA is used in many areas ... -
Applying Rotation-Equivariant Deep Learning to Cloud and Road Segmentation in Satellite and Aerial Imagery
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-02)Satellite and aerial images have many applications – images of clouds and roads are of particular relevance to this thesis. Satellite images of clouds are frequently used for climate monitoring, weather tracking, satellite ... -
Applying run-by-run process control to chemical-mechanical planarization and assessing insertion costs versus benefits of CMP
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995) -
Applying sampling and predicate pushdown in an interactive data exploration system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)Interactive data exploration (IDE) systems require low latency and high performance, as users expect to see their ad-hoc queries return results quickly for a seamless experience. Predicate pushdown is a common performance ... -
Applying SCET to parton showers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)In this thesis we study corrections to parton showers in the context of soft collinear effective theory (SCET). Monte Carlo event generators like Pythia or Herwig are heavily used by experimentalists to simulate events and ... -
Applying semantic relation extraction to information retrieval
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000) -
Applying set based methodology in submarine concept design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Early stage ship design decisions continue to be a challenge for naval architects and engineers. The complex interactions between the different elements of the ship and the broad spectrum of disciplines required in ship ... -
Applying Six Sigma to Tenneco Automotive manufacturing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)Product Quality, broadly defined as the ability of a company's product to meet specific confonnance requirements as defined by the customer, is the subject of this thesis. Specifically, this thesis will explore how product ... -
Applying specialization to process models
([Cambridge, Mass. : Sloan School of Management, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995) -
Applying spreadsheet concepts to new knowledge acquisition tools
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1987) -
Applying STAMP in Accident Analysis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Engineering Systems Division, 2003-06)Accident models play a critical role in accident investigation and analysis. Most traditional models are based on an underlying chain of events. These models, however, have serious limitations when used for complex, ... -
Applying supply chain methodology to a centralized software licensing strategy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Eleven percent of companies spend between $150K and $200K per year per engineer on software development tools and nine percent spend more than $200K, according to a Silicon Integration Initiative/Gartner/EE Times study ... -
Applying support-vector machine learning algorithms toward predicting host-guest interactions with cucurbit[7]uril
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2020-07)Machine learning is a valuable tool in the development of chemical technologies but its applications into supramolecular chemistry have been limited. Here, the utility of kernel-based support vector machine learning using ... -
Applying system dynamics approach to the supply chain management problem
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)Supply chain management is one of the fundamental issues in the manufacturing and operation management. The performance of supply chain management directly affects an organization's overall performance. For the past several ...
