  • Learning to Estimate Multi-Relation Aggregation Functions

    Creator:
    Jadhav, Rashmi Suresh
    Abstract:
    Multi-relation aggregation queries process the join operator before computing the aggregation function. This join is arguably the most costly operation since traditional join algorithms spend majority of their time trying to join the parts of the relations that do not generate any output tuples. This causes slow response times with...

  • Evaluating social media attention interventions

    Creator:
    Gasper, David M.
    Abstract:
    Social media platforms use many techniques to engage users' attention with their platforms, including notifications, popups, and gamification elements. The impact of social media on physical and mental health has been studied, but limited publicly available research exists on how social media users can be helped to disengage from these...

  • Toward Automated Decision-Making in Power Systems Wide-Area Protection

    Creator:
    Meier, Richard John
    Abstract:
    In recent years there have been many improvements in the reliability of critical infrastructure systems. Despite these improvements and despite targeted efforts to improve the operation and control of the electric grid, the power systems industry has seen relatively small advances in this regard. For instance, today's power system is...

  • Action Selection for Heterologous Control of a Continuous-Output Myoelectric Prosthesis

    Creator:
    Sylwester, Sean T.
    Abstract:
    Significance: Movement intent decoding algorithms can interpret human bioelectrical signals to control prosthetic limbs with many degrees of freedom (DOFs). This work involves decoding volitional movement intent from surface electromyogram (sEMG) signals to control prosthetic arms. To train these algorithms, patients flex their muscles to “follow” a movement prompt, and...

  • Planning in multi-agent partially observable domains using sparse sampling

    Creator:
    Donneau-Golencer, Thierry D.
    Abstract:
    A large number of sequential decision-making problems in uncertain environments can be modeled as Markov Decision Processes (MDPs). In such settings, an agent can observe at each time step the state of the environment and then executes an action, causing a stochastic transition to a new state of the environment...

  • Adaptive Movement Intent Decoding for Intuitive Control of Neuroprostheses

    Creator:
    George, Damon A.
    Abstract:
    Movement intent decoders, which interpret volitional movement intent from human bioelectric signals, can be incorporated into modern neuroprostheses to offer people living with limb loss or paralysis the potential to regain their lost motor control. Machine learning methods have become the research standard for continuous decoders with high degrees of...

  • Domain-Independent Planning for Markov Decision Processes with Factored State and Action Spaces

    Creator:
    Raghavan, Aswin
    Abstract:
    Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) are the de-facto formalism for studying sequential decision making problems with uncertainty, ranging from classical problems such as inventory control and path planning, to more complex problems such as reservoir control under rainfall uncertainty and emergency response optimization for fire and medical emergencies. Most prior research...

  • Improving automated email tagging with implicit feedback

    Creator:
    Sorower, Mohammad Shahed
    Abstract:
    Machine learning systems are generally trained offline using ground truth data that has been labeled by experts. However, these batch training methods are not a good fit for many applications, especially in the cases where complete ground truth data is not available for offline training. In addition, batch methods do...

  • Customizable Visual Traces for Program Explanations

    Creator:
    Bajaj, Divya
    Abstract:
    Correctness and efficiency are important properties of programs. However, to support maintenance and debugging, the programs should also be understandable. Program explanations also play a vital role in educational settings, enhancing the understanding of programs among students. Proof trees provide a sound basis for generating dynamic explanations of programs. But...

    Picado Leiva, Jose Manuel
    Abstract:
    Learning novel concepts from relational databases is an important problem with applications in several disciplines, such as data management, natural language processing, and bioinformatics. For a learning algorithm to be effective, the input data should be clean and in some desired representation. However, real-world data is usually heterogeneous – the...
