  • The Relationship between Attention and Rapport in Conversation with AAC Users

    Creator:
    Nguyen, Duy M.
    Abstract:
    Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices enable people who cannot speak to communicate with others. Unfortunately, they are tedious to use and are believed to lower the satisfaction of interacting with others. This thesis attempted to document the impact that AAC devices have on social interactions, in the hope of...

  • Perceptual thresholds for foot slipping in animated characters

    Creator:
    Strawn, Jordan J.
    Abstract:
    The computer game industry continues to progress toward realistic-looking character motion. However, even in state-of-the-art games, the use of motion capture data in character animation may result in errors such as “foot slipping,” where the feet do not match up with the floor properly during translation. Various algorithms have been...

  • A tutorial interface for a problem-solving production system

    Creator:
    Lantz, Brian Scott
    Abstract:
    The system described is an interface between a student and a problem-solving production system that solves some class of problems. Its purpose is to help a student learn some part of the realm of problem solving. As a student attempts to solve a problem the system controls the firing of...

  • Towards Automating Type Changes

    Creator:
    Ketkar, Ameya S.
    Abstract:
    Developers frequently change the type of a program element and update all its references for performance, security, concurrency, library migration, or better maintainability. Despite type changes being a common program transformation, it is the least automated and the least studied. Manually performing type changes is tedious since the programmers have...

  • Triton, a hypertext system for the Macintosh

    Creator:
    Terusaki, Gary B.
    Abstract:
    Until now, most hypertext systems have been implemented on large scale computers. With improvements in microprocessors and development of graphical user interfaces, personal computers can run systems that previously needed the power of a mainframe. The low costs and widespread use of PCs will enable many people to use hypertext...

  • A conceptual framework for web-based collaborative design

    Creator:
    Gottfried, Shikha Ghosh
    Abstract:
    Although much effort has been invested to build applications that support group work, collaborative applications have not found easy success. The cost of adopting and maintaining collaborative applications has prevented their widespread use, especially among small distributed groups. Application developers have had difficulties recognizing the extra effort required by groups...

  • Longitudinal Analysis of Collaboration in Forked Open Source Software Development Projects

    Creator:
    Azarbakht, Amirhosein "Emerson"
    Abstract:
    Social interactions are a ubiquitous part of our lives, and the creation of online social communities has been a natural extension of this phenomena. Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) development efforts are prime examples of how communities can be leveraged in software development, where groups are formed around communities...

  • Visualization and analysis of sensor data for detecting microclimate cold air pools

    Creator:
    Singh, Satpreet Harcharan
    Abstract:
    Cold air pools are spatiotemporal phenomena that occur when cold air from higher elevations roll down the slope to accumulate in lower elevations. Behaviors like this lead to microclimate anomalies such as the city of Corvallis (Oregon) experiencing persistent cold weather even on a sunny day. We analyze multivariate temperature...

  • On Avoiding Power-Seeking by Artificial Intelligence

    Creator:
    Turner, Alexander M.
    Abstract:
    We do not know how to align a very intelligent AI agent's behavior with human interests. I investigate whether—absent a full solution to this AI alignment problem—we can build smart {\ai} agents which have limited impact on the world, and which do not autonomously seek power. In this thesis, I...

  • Learning movements from a virtual instructor

    Creator:
    LaFortune, Jasper
    Abstract:
    We examined the effects of perspective (first person versus third person) and immersion (immersive virtual reality versus nonimmersive video screen) on motor learning in order to assess the format of mental action representations. We also evaluated whether these effects were modulated by experience. Experienced dancers and novices practiced line dances...
