Partnerships, Information And Public Safety: Community Policing In A Time Of Terror
Abstract Crime, Policing and Citizenship (CPC) – Space-Time Interactions of Dynamic Networks has been a major UK EPSRC-funded research project. It has been a multidisciplinary…
Learning Shared Representations In Multi-Task Reinforcement Learning
Abstract We investigate a paradigm in multi-task reinforcement learning (MT-RL) in which an agent is placed in an environment and needs to learn to perform…
Leveraging Clincal Data To Enhance Localization Of Brain Atrophy
Abstract Sparse Canonical Correlation Analysis (SCCA) has been proposed to find pairs of sparse weight vectors that maximize correlations between sets of paired variables. This…
Computational Analysis Of Stochastic Heterogeneity In PCR Amplification Efficiency Revealed By Single Molecule Barcoding
Abstract The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is one of the most widely used techniques in molecular biology. In combination with High Throughput Sequencing (HTS), PCR…
Multivariate Effect Ranking Via Adaptive Sparse PLS
Abstract Unsupervised learning approaches, such as Sparse Partial Least Squares (SPLS), may provide useful insights into the brain mechanisms by finding relationships between two sets…
Experimental Computational Simulation For Algorithmic Trading
Abstract This thesis investigates experimental Computational Simulation Environments for Computational Finance that for the purpose of this study focused on Algorithmic Trading (AT) models and…
On Splitting A Point With Summation Polynomials In Binary Elliptic Curves
Abstract Recent research for efficient algorithms for solving the dis- crete logarithm (DL) problem on elliptic curves depends on the difficult question of the feasibility…
Speed Optimizations In Bitcoin Key Recovery Attacks
Abstract In this paper we study and give the first detailed benchmarks on existing implementations of the secp256k1 elliptic curve used by at least hundreds…
