  • Prediction of gene transcription start sites and initiation patterns from DNA sequence content

    Creator:
    Morton, Taj H.
    Abstract:
    The computational identification of gene Transcription Start Sites (TSSs) can provide insights into the regulation and function of genes without performing expensive experiments, particularly in organisms with incomplete annotations. High-resolution general-purpose TSS prediction remains a challenging problem, with little recent progress on the identification and differentiation of TSSs which are...

  • Measurement and analysis of soft error vulnerability of low-voltage logic and memory circuits

    Creator:
    Pawlowski, Robert
    Abstract:
    Scaling the supply voltage into the sub/near-threshold domain is one of the most effective methods for improving the energy efficiency of next-generation electronic microsystems. Unfortunately, the relationship between low-voltage operation and radiation-induced soft error rate is not widely known, as little research has been previously performed and reported for soft-error...

  • Mental Models of Mere Mortals with Explanations of Reinforcement Learning

    Creator:
    Anderson, Andrew A.
    Abstract:
    How should reinforcement learning (RL) agents explain themselves to humans not trained in AI? To gain insights into this question, we conducted a 124 participant, four-treatment experiment to compare participants’ mental models of an RL agent in the context of a simple Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game. The four treatments isolated...

  • Information Theoretical Analysis of Self-Similar Trees

    Creator:
    Chunikhina, Evgenia V.
    Abstract:
    Tree-like patterns are ubiquitous in nature. Botanical trees, river networks, and blood systems are the most well-known examples of complex hierarchical systems met in observations. Interestingly, many of such systems exhibit statistical self-similarity. There are two main types of self-similarity: Horton self-similarity and Tokunaga self-similarity. Although there is an increased...

  • Version Control Systems: An Information Foraging Perspective

    Creator:
    Srinivasa Ragavan, Sruti
    Abstract:
    Software history and version control systems (VCS) are an important source of information for developers. This entails the need for a principled understanding of developers’ information seeking in VCS, both for improving existing tools as well as understanding requirements for new tools. However, it is only recently that researchers have...

  • How do Programmers Forage through Variants? Modeling Hierarchical Foraging and Changelogs

    Creator:
    Pandya, Bhargav Chandravadan
    Abstract:
    Complex information environments are often organized as hierarchies. However, computational models of Information Foraging Theory (IFT) have almost entirely ignored this fact. Models and tools for predicting programmer navigations have ignored people’s foraging behavior across hierarchies —called hierarchical foraging. Without modeling hierarchical foraging, our ability to build tools to support...

  • On the study of WEC prototype advancement with consideration of real-time life extending control

    Creator:
    Stillinger, Chad J.
    Abstract:
    Renewable energy is a topic of significant interest and importance in the world today. Ocean wave energy, particularly in areas such as the Oregon Coast, has considerable potential as a renewable resource. However, to rightly evaluate the overall cost of energy for wave energy converters, survivability and maintenance issues must...

  • 3D Voronoi Subdivision for Simulating Destructible and Granular Materials

    Creator:
    Clothier, Matthew M.
    Abstract:
    In many traditional computer graphics applications, rendered scenes typically utilize 3D meshes to represent objects within an environment. As the demand to further improve the realism of graphics applications increases, such as for movies and games, it is becoming more important to represent the inner volumes of object meshes. In...

  • Physical activity recognition of free-living data using change-point detection algorithms and hidden Markov models

    Creator:
    Anderson, Michael M.
    Abstract:
    Physical activity recognition using accelerometer data is a rapidly emerging field with many real-world applications. Much of the previous work in this area has assumed that the accelerometer data has already been segmented into pure activities, and the activity recognition task has been to classify these segments. In reality, activity...

  • Building Self Adaptive Software Systems via Test-based Modifications

    Creator:
    Christi, Arpit M.
    Abstract:
    Building software systems that adapt to the changing environment is challenging. Developers cannot anticipate all the changes in advance, and even if they could, the effort required to handle such situations is too onerous for practical purposes. Self Adaptive Software (SAS) adapts itself as per changing environment. The area of...
