A hybrid approach to developing ontology-driven applications : a case study in describing radio spectrum usage policies
Xie, Owen (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2021-05)As such, applications need a simple and stable API that abstracts much of the structure, but keeps the strengths of OWL in reasoning or clarity. To meet this need, we utilize a hybrid approach to integrating an ontology ... -
Automating semantic metadata collection in the field
Kinkead, Laura (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-05)In the past few decades, the field of ecology has grown from a collection of disparate researchers who collected data on their local phenomenon by hand, to large projects fueled by automated sensor networks that rely on ... -
Data set versioning through linked data models
Lee, Benno (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-08)Our versioning model, implemented as VersOn, enables more complete change capture using linked-data and exposes the information stored in change logs as linked-data. The model achieves distinct AIM change capture, ... -
Enhancing stream reasoning by modeling the importance of the streaming data
Yan, Rui (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-05)Generally speaking, this dissertation delivers a conceptual model, and a set of infrastructure that can facilitate its general application in stream reasoning. Specifically, the first contribution is an innovative notion ... -
Extensible user interface framework for faceted browsing applications
Rozell, Eric (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2012-12) -
Generation and evaluation of linked data derived from information extraction methodologies
Gross, Ian (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-05)By employing the extensible knowledge graph curation and analysis platform called Whyis, we can validate the constructed interactions discovered by our workflow in comparison to interactions stated in a domain-specific ... -
Semantic modeling of cohort descriptions
Chari, Shruthi (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2019-05)To address this challenge of supporting study applicability assessment, in this thesis, we make three contributions and we detail them in this paragraph. We build a Study Cohort Ontology (SCO) to encode the vocabulary of ... -
Semantically enabled medical image understanding
Agu, Nkechinyere Nneka (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2022-08)Medical imaging examination is the most common form of routine medical analysis, which involves several stages of reasoning and careful analysis to reach a final decision by the radiologist. Most deep learning frameworks ... -
Semantically enabling next generation environmental informatics portals
Wang, Ping (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2012-05) -
Semantically matching tools and data collections: a ToolMatch use case extension
Ferritto, Matthew (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2014-12)The focus of this thesis will be on the implementation of these two use cases, as well as an extension of the first use case, where a data user with certain semantics for a given data collection (such as a domain model) ... -
The semantic ehumanities methodology : same but different
DiFranzo, Dominic (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-12)The Empirical Humanities, which includes the work of history, folklore, and cultural anthropology, are facing new challenges. For decades, they been an almost entirely individual-centric enterprise. Field notes, observations, ... -
Towards a computable policy tool capable of leveraging domain knowledge in knowledge graphs
Falkow, Mitchell Dean (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2021-08)Policies are sets of rules that describe suitable responses that correspond to some given set of conditions. They are crucial tools when it comes to the decision-making process, regardless of domain or profession. Policies ... -
Towards automated axiom generation : a semi-automated approach to generating "knowledge and rule base" corpora from text narratives
Prabhu, Anirudh (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2021-08)With the exponential rise of data in recent years, deep learning has risen to be one of the most prominent forms of artificial intelligence. With many successful applications, deep learning has helped researchers build ... -
Unsupervised graph-based relation extraction and validation for knowledge base population
Yu, Dian (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2017-12)To populate KBs, researchers have made significant progress in relation extraction from unstructured text corpora. However, it remains very challenging since a relation can be expressed in numerous ways through a sophisticated ...
