  • Toward end-user debugging of machine-learned programs

    Creator:
    Kulesza, Todd
    Abstract:
    The results of a machine learning from user behavior can be thought of as a program, and like all programs, it may need to be debugged. Providing ways for the user to debug it matters because without the ability to fix errors, users may find that the learned program’s errors...

  • Structured gradient boosting

    Creator:
    Parker, Charles (Charles Lincoln)
    Abstract:
    The goal of many machine learning problems can be formalized as the creation of a function that can properly classify an input vector, given a set of examples of that function. While this formalism has produced a number of success stories, there are notable situations in which it fails. One...

  • Domain-specific language support for experimental game theory

    Creator:
    Walkingshaw, Eric
    Abstract:
    Experimental game theory is the use of game theoretic abstractions—games, players, and strategies—in experiments and simulations. It is often used in cases where traditional, analytical game theory fails or is difficult to apply. This thesis collects three previously published papers that provide domain-specific language (DSL) support for defining and executing...

  • Investigating the Effects of Design Quality in OSS Projects

    Creator:
    Mannan, Umme Ayda
    Abstract:
    Software systems are becoming an essential part of the lives of both individuals and organizations, and as a consequence, these systems are getting bigger and more complex. Because of this, the tasks of maintaining the quality in these complex software systems are becoming increasingly difficult. Furthermore, these systems are subject...

  • Community leaders' perspectives of a rural community college's impact on community development

    Creator:
    Thomas, Reine M.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this qualitative research study was to examine the role a rural community college plays in the development of its community, using a holistic, community-based lens that considered college and community context, interactions and results to answer the question: How does the rural community college impact the development...

  • Parameter estimation of Gaussian hierarchical model using Gibbs sampling

    Creator:
    Mbuthia, Juliana
    Abstract:
    Gibbs sampling method is an important tool used in parameter estimation for many probabilistic models. Specifically, for many scenarios, it is difficult to generate high-dimensional data samples from its joint distribution. The Gibbs sampling provides a way to draw high-dimensional data via the conditional distributions which are typically easier to...

  • Evaluation of collaborative filtering and content based filtering recommenders in jTutors (an online intelligent tutoring system)

    Creator:
    Appasamy, Bharatwaj
    Abstract:
    Software engineers often need help with discovering and learning how to use APIs. For example, software engineers who are starting to learn Java, and they want to implement a certain feature in a program, they might want to reuse existing APIs in order to save time versus rewriting it themselves...

  • Object detection in biological images using a search-based framework

    Creator:
    Lam, Michael
    Abstract:
    This thesis addresses a basic problem in computer vision, that of semantic labeling of images. Our work is aimed at object detection in biological images for evolutionary biology research. In particular, our goal is to detect nematocysts in Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) images. This biological domain presents challenges for existing...

  • Monte-Carlo planning for probabilistic domains

    Creator:
    Bjarnason, Ronald V.
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents a progression of novel planning algorithms that culminates in a new family of diverse Monte-Carlo methods for probabilistic planning domains. We provide a proof for performance guarantees and analyze how these algorithms can resolve some of the shortcomings of traditional probabilistic planning methods. The direct policy search...

  • Two-grid a-priori and a-posteriori error analysis for coupled elliptic and parabolic systems with applications to flow and transport problems

    Creator:
    Klein, Viviane
    Abstract:
    We develop several a-priori and a-posteriori error estimates for two-grid finite element discretization of coupled elliptic and parabolic systems with a set of parameters P. We present numerical results that verify the convergence order of the numerical schemes predicted by the a-priori estimates. We present numerical results that verify the...
