Absraction for Efficient Reinforcement Learning

Telfar, Alexander (Victoria University of Wellington, 2020)

Successful reinforcement learning requires large amounts of data, compute, and some luck. We explore the ability of abstraction(s) to reduce these dependencies. Abstractions for reinforcement learning share the goals of ...
Abstract Program Visualisation: Object Orientation in the Tarraingim Program Exploratorium

Noble, Robert James (Victoria University of Wellington, 1996)

Program visualisation uses computer graphics and animation techniques to produce pictures illustrating the dynamic behaviour of a running computer program. Most program visualisation systems display either language-level ...
Achieving Effective Resource Management in Distributed SDN Controller Architectures

Huang, Guiying (Victoria University of Wellington, 2020)

As an emerging computer networking paradigm, Software-Defined Networking (SDN) empowers network operators with simplified network configuration and centralized network management. Recently, distributed controller architectures ...
Acoustic Room Impulse Response Shaping

Krishnan, Lakshmi (Victoria University of Wellington, 2017)

Impulse response shaping is a technique for modifying the characteristics of a linear channel to achieve desirable characteristics. The technique is well-known in the field of wireless communication. Acoustic impulse ...
Active Learning Methods for Dynamic Job Shop Scheduling using Genetic Programming under Uncertain Environment

Karunakaran, Deepak (Victoria University of Wellington, 2019)

Scheduling is an important problem in artificial intelligence and operations research. In production processes, it deals with the problem of allocation of resources to different tasks with the goal of optimizing one or ...
Active Shift Attention Based Object Tracking System

Ajmal, Aisha (Victoria University of Wellington, 2020)

The human vision system (HVS) collects a huge amount of information and performs a variety of biological mechanisms to select relevant information. Computational models based on these biological mechanisms are used in ...
Adaptive Initial Users’ Overview of a Map Visualisation

Namini Mianji, Zahra (Victoria University of Wellington, 2017)

The ability to customise different aspects of a visualisation system for users is typically lacking in current applications[30]. This results in less immediate and relevant visualisation information to users, as all users ...
An Affective Computing Multilayer Cognitive Architecture for Evolutionary Cognitive Robotics

Zhang, Zheming (Victoria University of Wellington, 2020)

Robots are entering our daily lives from self-driving cars to health-care robots. Historically, pre-programmed robots were vulnerable to changing conditions in daily life, primarily because of a lack of ability to generate ...
Algorithm and design improvements for indirect time of flight range imaging cameras

Drayton, Benjamin Mark Moffat (Victoria University of Wellington, 2013)

This thesis describes the development of a compact and modularised indirect time of flight range imaging camera. These cameras commonly use the Amplitude Modulated Continuous Wave (AMCW) technique. For this technique, an ...
Analysis and Implementation of Reinforcement Learning on a GNU Radio Cognitive Radio Platform

Ren, Yu (Victoria University of Wellington, 2010)

Spectrum today is regulated based on fixed licensees. In the past radio operators have been allocated a frequency band for exclusive use. This has become problem for new users and the modern explosion in wireless services ...
Analysis of Multiuser Cellular Systems Over Heterogeneous Channels

Tataria, Harsh (Victoria University of Wellington, 2017)

This thesis considers the analysis of current and future cellular communication systems. The main focus is on multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) antenna systems. The goal of this work is to characterize the ...
An Analysis of Selection in Genetic Programming

Xie, Huayang (Victoria University of Wellington, 2009)

This thesis presents an analysis of the selection process in tree-based Genetic Programming (GP), covering the optimisation of both parent and offspring selection, and provides a detailed understanding of selection and ...
Analysis of the levelized cost of green hydrogen production for very heavy vehicles in New Zealand

Perez, Rapha Julysses (Victoria University of Wellington, 2020)

This study examined the feasibility of green hydrogen as a transport fuel for the very heavy vehicle (VHV) fleet in New Zealand. Green hydrogen is assumed to be produced through water electrolysis using purely renewable ...
Anonymously Establishing Digital Provenance in Reseller Chains

Palmer, Benjamin Philip (Victoria University of Wellington, 2012)

An increasing number of products are exclusively digital items, such as media files, licenses, services, or subscriptions. In many cases customers do not purchase these items directly from the originator of the product ...
Applying Formal Modelling to the Specification and Testing of SDN Network Functionality

Stevens, Matt (Victoria University of Wellington, 2016)

Software Defined Networks offers a new paradigm to manage networks, one that favors centralised control over the distributed control used in legacy networks. This brings network operators potential efficiencies in capital ...
Assessing the Accuracy of Performance Modelling in Software Defined Networks

Ansell, Jordan (Victoria University of Wellington, 2017)

Analytical modelling and experimental measurement can are used to evaluate the performance of a network. Models provide insight and measurement provides realism. For software defined networks (SDN) it is unknown how ...
Association Control Based Load Balancing in Wireless Cellular Networks Using Preamble Sequences

Chopra, Ankit (Victoria University of Wellington, 2012)

The efficient allocation and use of radio resources is crucial for achieving the maximum possible throughput and capacity in wireless networks. The conventional strongest signal-based user association in cellular ...
AtmoVis: Visualization of Air Quality Data

Powley, Benjamin (Victoria University of Wellington, 2019)

Air quality has an adverse impact on the health of people living in areas with poor quality air. Monitoring is needed to understand the effects of poor air quality. It is difficult to compare measurements to find trends ...
Automatic Design of Dispatching Rules for Job Shop Scheduling with Genetic Programming

Nguyen, Su (Victoria University of Wellington, 2013)
