911. DEPENDENCY AND UNDERDEVELOPMENT IN AFRICA: THE NIGERIAN EXPERIENCE

Abstract

Dependency and underdevelopment in Africa is our main thrust which we try to relate the above to the Nigerian context. Dependency as we all know is a product of underdevelopment which is prevalent in Africa in general and Nigeria in particular. It is certain that Nigeria is an independent nation, but it does not reflect in all the facts in the society since the super structures that form the society and state are dependent on foreign policy and factors.

As we can...

918. Data Classification Using Various Learning Algorithms

Abstract

Dimensionality reduction provides a compact representation of an original high-dimensional data, which means the reduced data is free from any further processing and only the vital information is retained. For this reason, it is an invaluable preprocessing step before the application of many machine learning algorithms that perform poorly on high-dimensional data. In this thesis, the perceptron classification algorithm – an eager learner - is applied to three two-clas...
