  • Perceptually-Adaptive Collision Detection for Real-time Computer Animation 

    O'SULLIVAN, CAROL ANN (Unversity of Dublin, Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 1999)
    The aim of interactive animation systems is to create an exciting and real experience for viewers, to give them a feeling of immersion, of "being there". The tendency in the past has been to attempt to achieve this by ...

  • Personalised E-Learning Through Learning Style Aware Adaptive Systems 

    Canavan, John (Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2004-09)
    There are many factors than can influence the extent of learning. These would include factors such as the student's learning style and motivation for learning. In a learning environment, each individual student will have ...

  • Pervasive Application Rights Management Architecture 

    Dusparic, Ivana (University of Dublin, Trinity College. School of Computer Science and Statistics, 2005-07)
    This dissertation describes an application rights management architecture that combines license management with digital rights management to provide an integrated platform for the specification, generation, delivery and ...

  • Physical Model Generation in PDE Analysis using Model-based Case-based Reasoning 

    Finn, Donal; Cunningham, Padraig (Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1994-11)
    Model generation has emerged as a key task in engineering design and analysis. AI research in this area has focused on model based reasoning emphasising qualitative models in attempting to automate this process. In this ...

  • Planning for Migration to a Next Generation Network 

    Hovland, Eirik (Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2001-09)
    This thesis describes the development of a software planning tool to be used in the migration process from a Public Switched Telephone Network to a Next Generation Network. The tool calculates the benefits obtained by ...

  • A Policy Creation and Enforcement Environment for an IP Network 

    McDonagh, Mark (Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2001-09)
    There is an increasing number of applications designed to run on the Internet whose Quality of Service (QoS) requirement is higher than the current offering from the IP network that being best effort. There has been a call ...

  • Polysemy in Conceptual Combination: Testing the Constraint Theory of Combination 

    Costello, Fintan; Keane, Mark T. (Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1996-12)
    Most novel noun-noun combinations are polysemous in that they tend to suggest several possible meanings. A finger cup can be a cup in which fingers are washed, a cup shaped like a finger, a narrow cup and so on. In this ...

  • Practical Solutions to the Problem of Diagonal Dominance in Kernel Document Clustering 

    Greene, Derek; Cunningham, Padraig (Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 2006-02-07)
    In supervised kernel methods, it has been observed that the performance of the SVM classifier is poor in cases where the diagonal entries of the Gram matrix are large relative to the off-diagonal entries. This problem, ...

  • Predicting Probability Distributions for Surf Height Using an Ensemble of Mixture Density Networks 

    Carney, Michael; Cunningham, Padraig; Dowling, Jim (Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 2006-02-10)
    There is a range of potential applications of Machine Learning where it would be more useful to predict the probability distribution for a variable rather than simply the most likely value for that variable. In meteorology ...

  • A Proactive Approach to Semantically Oriented Service Discovery 

    Lynch, David Thomas (Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2005-09)
    Web Service based computing has evolved immensely in recent years, supported by standards bodies, academic research and industry alike. One of the noticeable omissions from the web services architecture is that of standards ...
