Description
Summary:I would like to thank my advisor Dr. Mark Stamp for his guidance and patience. Without his insights, feedbacks, and encouragement, this project would not have been a success. I would also like to express my thanks to the following professors. Dr. Sami Khuri introduced me to hidden Markov models when I first started my graduate studies at San Jose State University. Dr. Kevin Karplus gave me the chance to work with his lab group at UC Santa Cruz, where I learned how to utilize the magnificent power of hidden Markov models to solve practical problems. Dr. Chris Pollett provided me with valuable comments during the formulation of the project topic. Dr. Robert Chun suggested the comparison between our approach and commercial virus scanners. I would also like to thank my friends and schoolmates for their technical and emotional support. I want to thank Yue Wang for performing the virus scanning, and Peter Hey for repairing my hard disk after it crashed at the most critical moment. Finally I want to thank my family for their understanding and support throughout my five years of graduate studies. They have shown the greatest care and patience which I truly appreciate.
