  • 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...

  • Deletions and Insertions of the Symbol 0 and Asymmetric/Unidirectional Error Control Codes for the L₁ Metric

    Creator:
    Alqwaifly, Nawaf
    Abstract:
    This work gives some theory and efficient design of binary block codes capable of controlling the deletions of the symbol “0” (referred to as 0-deletions) and/or the insertions of the symbol “0” (referred to as 0-insertions). This problem of controlling 0-deletions and/or 0-insertions (referred to as symmetric 0-errors) is shown...

  • Assessing and Finding Faults in AI: Two Empirical Studies

    Creator:
    Khanna, Roli
    Abstract:
    With the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in every sphere of life in today's day and age, it has become increasingly important for non-AI experts to be able to comprehend the underlying logic of how AI systems work, assess them and find faults in these systems, particularly when they are...

  • Simulator-Defined MDP Planning with Applications in Natural Resource Management

    Creator:
    Alkaee Taleghan, Majid
    Abstract:
    This work is inspired by problems in natural resource management centered on the challenge of invasive species. Computing optimal management policies for maintaining ecosystem sustainable is challenging. Many ecosystem management problems can be formulated as MDP (Markov Decision Process) planning problems. In a simulator-defined MDP, the Markovian dynamics and rewards...

  • Multi-instance multi-label learning : algorithms and applications to bird bioacoustics

    Creator:
    Briggs, Forrest
    Abstract:
    We consider the problem of supervised classification of bird species from audio recordings in a real-world acoustic monitoring scenario (i.e. audio data is collected in the field with an omnidirectional microphone, without human supervision). Obtaining better data about bird activity can assist conservation efforts, and improve our understanding of their...

  • Efficient Private Matching for Private Databases

    Creator:
    Trieu, Thi Ni Ni
    Abstract:
    Private matching (PM) is a key cryptographic primitive in secure computation that allows several parties to jointly compute some functions depending on their private inputs. Indeed, this primitive has many practical applications. For instance, in online advertising, two companies may wish to find their common customers for a joint marketing...

  • Multiple Instance Multiple Label Learning with Limited Supervision

    Creator:
    Nguyen, Tam
    Abstract:
    In weak supervision learning, label information can be provided at different levels of granularity. For example, in multi-instance multi-label learning, samples are organized into bags and labels for each class are provided at the bag level. For small datasets, this approach offers means of reducing the labeling efforts. However, in...

  • Involving older adults in the design and development of free/open source software

    Creator:
    Davidson, Jennifer L.
    Abstract:
    An age-wave is upon us where many older adults are reaching retirement. Technically experienced older adults have skills that could be directly applied to free/open source software (FOSS) communities, such as project management, programming, and/or knowledge of a rapidly growing end-user population. FOSS is a widely popular, low-cost way to...
