Towards a computational model of information trust
(2022-02-01)Information has been an essential element in the development of collaborative and cooperative frameworks. From decision making to the attainment of different goals, people have been relatively adept at making judgments ... -
Towards efficient and scalable computer vision systems
(2018-01-01)There is a large growth in hardware and software systems capable of producing vast amounts of image and video data. These systems are rich sources of continuous and possibly infinite image and video streams. This motivates ... -
Towards implicit learning of system-assigned authentication tokens
(2018-02-01)People tend to choose predictable passwords which are vulnerable to guessing attacks. To combat the security issue, system-assigned authentication keys were proposed, but coming at a cost to memorability. In this thesis, ... -
Towards measuring privacy
(2015-04-01)The acceptable threshold for privacy is an individual choice, informed by culture, tradition and experience. That it is important, conversely, is self-evident. We use it to moderate personal information disclosure, how ... -
Towards molecular reconstruction in Coulomb explosion imaging
(2021-02-01)The interaction of a fast laser with molecules at the femtosecond time scale, leads to the latter losing most of its valence electrons and become positively charged. The molecule which was initially in an equilibrium state, ... -
Visual encoding quality and scalability in information visualization
(2019-02-01)Information visualization seeks to amplify cognition through interactive visual representations of data. It comprises human processes, such as perception and cognition, and computer processes, such as visual encoding. ... -
Water quality and biotic community response to an urban – rural land-use gradient in the Lake Simcoe watershed
(2020-06-01)Most research in the Lake Simcoe watershed (LSW) has focused on how the lake has responded to changes in nutrients sourced by agriculture, particularly after mitigation measures have been put in place to remedy the lake’s ...
