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...

The InclusiveMag Method: A Start Towards More Inclusive Software for Diverse Populations

Creator:: Mendez, Christopher
Abstract:: How can software practitioners assess whether their software supports diverse users? Although there are empirical processes that can be used to find “inclusivity bugs” piecemeal, what is often needed is a systematic inspection method to assess software’s support for diverse populations. To help fill this gap, this thesis introduces InclusiveMag,...

Individual Fairness Optimization in Machine Learning with Minimax Loss and an Abstain Option

Creator:: Behnoudfar, Ali
Abstract:: In this thesis, a new learning algorithm is introduced that is targeted towards individual fairness. In order to be individually fair, mispredictions need to be avoided as each such prediction means the learning algorithm was unfair towards some individual. Therefore, achieving individual fairness implies having a perfect classifier, which is...

Explanations and Processes to Enable Humans to Assess AI with Respect to Manipulable Properties

Creator:: Dodge, Jonathan E.
Abstract:: Assessing AI systems is difficult. Humans rely on AI systems in increasing ways, both visible and invisible, meaning a variety of stakeholders need a variety of assessment tools (e.g., a professional auditor, a developer, and an end user all have different needs). We posit that it is possible to provide...

Characterizing and Addressing Dataset Shift with Deep Learning

Creator:: Olson, Matthew L.
Abstract:: This dissertation delves into understanding, characterizing, and addressing dataset shift in deep learning, a pervasive issue for deployed machine learning systems. Integral aspects of the problem are examined: We start with the use of counterfactual explanations in order to characterize the behavior of deep reinforcement learning agents in visual input...

Designing Diversity and Inclusion Processes and Tools for Sustainable Open Source

Creator:: Guizani, Mariam
Abstract:: Over time, Open Source Software (OSS) has become indispensable in the creation and upkeep of software products, serving as the fundamental building block for widely used solutions in our daily lives, including applications that enable communication, entertainment, and productivity. A sustainable OSS ecosystem is one that attracts and retains a...

SocioEconomicMag Meets a Platform for SES-Diverse College Students: A Case Study

Creator:: Agarwal, Puja
Abstract:: Emerging research shows that individual differences in how people use technology sometimes cluster by socioeconomic status (SES) and that when technology is not socioeconomically inclusive, low-SES individuals may abandon it. To understand how to improve technology’s SES-inclusivity, we present a multi-phase case study on SocioEconomicMag (SESMag), an emerging inspection method...

Investigating the Effect of Using Mobile Touchscreen Device on Children's Tactile Skills

Creator:: Almurshed, Rana
Abstract:: To users, mobile touchscreen devices have appealing characteristics; among these characteristics is intuitiveness, which leads to mobile devices being used almost everywhere by almost everyone to accomplish almost anything. This statement, to some degree, holds for children too. Despite touchscreen devices’ intuitiveness and popularity, we don’t know much about how...

The sum of its parts : investigating the component pieces of GenderMag

Creator:: Hill, Charles
Abstract:: Previous work introduced the GenderMag method, a software inspection method used to help software creators identify features within their software that are not gender-inclusive. Inclusiveness of software (gender or otherwise) matters because supporting diversity matters—it is well-known that the more diverse a group of problem-solvers, the higher the quality of...

Gender differences in robot teleoperation

Creator:: Showkat, Dilruba
Abstract:: Gender issues have recently received increased attention in human robot interaction (HRI). Because robots are becoming part of our homes and daily lives, it is important to understand how different groups of people use them. To the best of our knowledge, almost no research has been done that investigates gender...
