  • Weak-supervision : Probabilistic Models and Inference

    Creator:
    Pham, Anh
    Abstract:
    In supervised learning, label information can be provided at different levels of granularity. For small datasets, it is possible to acquire a label for each data instance. However, in the big-data regime, this fine granularity approach is prohibitively costly. For example, in semi-supervised learning, only a limited number of samples...

  • Toward harnessing user feedback for machine learning

    Creator:
    Stumpf, Simone, Rajaram, Vidya, Li, Lida, Burnett, Margaret, 1949-, Dietterich, Thomas Glen, Sullivan, Erin, Drummond, Russell, and Herlocker, Jonathan Lee
    Abstract:
    There has been little research into how end users might be able to communicate advice to machine learning systems. If this resource--the users themselves--could somehow work hand-in-hand with machine learning systems, the accuracy of learning systems could be improved and the users' understanding and trust of the system could improve...

  • 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...

  • The Pursuit of Hoppiness : Propelling Hop into the Genomic Era

    Creator:
    Hill, Steven T.
    Abstract:
    Hop (Humulus lupulus L. var lupulus) is a plant of great cultural significance, used as a medicinal herb for thousands of years, and for flavor and as a preservative in brewing beer. Studies of the medicinal effects of the unique compounds produced by hop have led to interest from the...

  • 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...

  • Simultaneous segmentation and classification of bird song using CNN

    Creator:
    Narasimhan, Revathy
    Abstract:
    In bioacoustics, automatic animal voice detection and recognition from audio recordings is an emerging topic for animal preservation. Our research focuses on bird bioacoustics, where the goal is to segment bird syllables from the recording and predict the bird species for the syllables. Traditional methods for this task addresses the...

  • Robust and Efficient Classification of Videos in the Wild

    Creator:
    Mahasseni, Behrooz
    Abstract:
    Recognizing human actions in videos is a long-standing problem in computer vision with a wide range of applications including video surveillance, content retrieval, and sports analysis. This thesis focuses on addressing efficiency and robustness of video classification in unconstrained real-world settings. The thesis work can be broadly divided into four...

  • Representationally Robust and Scalable Learning over Relational Databases

    Creator:
    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...

  • Rare category detection using hierarchical mean shift

    Creator:
    Vatturi, Pavan Kumar
    Abstract:
    Many applications in surveillance, monitoring, scientific discovery, and data cleaning require the identification of anomalies. Although many methods have been developed to identify statistically significant anomalies, a more difficult task is to identify anomalies that are both interesting and statistically significant. Category detection is an emerging area of machine learning...

    Abstract:
    The study of physical activity is important in improving people’s health as it can help people understand the relationship between physical activity and health. Accelerometers, due to its small size, low cost, convenience and its ability to provide objective information about the frequency, intensity, and duration of physical activity, has...
