Researcher:  Miss Safiyyah Ismail, The University of the WitwatersrandSupervisor: Professor Rod Alence, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg Nothing quite affects human behaviour as much as the internet. With a cloak of invisibility and anonymity in cyberspace, a new phenomenon known as cyberharassment has been created. It is

Researcher: Lindiwe Malobola, University of the Witwatersrand, JohannesburgSupervisor: Professor Bruce Mellado, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg Present-day machine learning methods can be used to build very powerful models for difficult collider physics problems. In numerous applications, the models are often built using fully supervised machine learning methods

Researchers: Tshauambea Murendeni, University of VendaSupervisor: Ms Nothabo Ndebele, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg Clustering is a method where information items are grouped to attain the objective of maximizing within cluster resemblance and dissimilarity of different clusters [1]. The kmeans algorithm is commonly used, simple and ease

Researcher: Nkateko Baloyi, University of the Witwatersrand, JohannesburgSupervisors: Professor Bruce Mellado, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg The search for new Bosons implies that protons in the LHC collide at very high energies and high Luminosity. High luminosity increases the probability of discovering new particles be-yond the standard

Researcher: Pranish Desai, University of the Witwatersrand, JohannesburgSupervisor: Professor Rod Alence, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg Previous studies into the effect of population density on governance in Africa have been mainly qualitative due to problems with reliable population data. In recent years population data has become more

Researcher: Thanyani Gumani, University of VendaSupervisor: Professor Bruce Mellado, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg The standard model of particle physics outlines our understanding of the fundamental particles of existence and their interactions. To enhance our understanding of this area, experiments with ever greater energies and intensities have

Researcher: Thomas Lancaster, University of the Witwatersrand, JohannesburgSupervisor: Professor Rod Alence, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg The current study aimed to examine the utility of text mining methods within the broader process of qualitative content analysis. The study aimed to examine whether text mining; in the form

Researcher: Promise Magoma, University of VendaSupervisors: Dr Farai Mlambo, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg The main aim of this research project is to develop an image compression model based on discrete cosine transform (DCT) to reduce image redundancy (noise).

Researcher: Joshua Nel, University of the Witwatersrand, JohannesburgSupervisor: Professor Rod Alence, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg The unprecedented growth in size and volume of data requires the examination of novel technologies. The research project applies text mining applications to a section of Truth and Reconciliation Transcripts to
