  • Visual object discovery and understanding

    Creator:
    Yuan, Jialin
    Abstract:
    Learning to recognize objects is a fundamental and essential step in human perception and understanding of the world. Accordingly, research of object discovery across diverse modalities plays a pivotal role in the context of computer vision. This field not only contributes significantly to enhancing our understanding of visual information but...

  • The Evolution of Software Entropy in Open Source projects: An Empirical Study

    Creator:
    Mannan, Umme Ayda
    Abstract:
    Software entropy impacts the overall quality of software systems. High entropy hinders developers from understanding the purpose of a piece of code and can cause developers to make sub-optimal changes and introduce bugs. Researchers have used entropy scores to measure the naturalness of code. However, thus far, no one has...

  • Formative Work Toward a Mixed-Initiative Programming Language

    Creator:
    Abbott, Keeley
    Abstract:
    Mixed-initiative programming entails collaboration between a computer system, and a human to achieve some desired goal or set of goals. Often these goals change or are amended in real time during the course of program execution. As such, the plans these programs are based on must adapt and evolve to...

  • Knowledge Base Completion Leveraging Natural Language Data

    Creator:
    Shahbazi, Hamed
    Abstract:
    Information about named entities (real-world objects) is usually harvested from different sources and organized as a multiple relational directed graph in Knowledge Bases (KBs). KBs play essential roles in many NLP modules including question answering, fact-checking, search engines, etc. KBs are big but still incomplete: relational information among entities is...

  • Investigating the Effects of Design Quality in OSS Projects

    Creator:
    Mannan, Umme Ayda
    Abstract:
    Software systems are becoming an essential part of the lives of both individuals and organizations, and as a consequence, these systems are getting bigger and more complex. Because of this, the tasks of maintaining the quality in these complex software systems are becoming increasingly difficult. Furthermore, these systems are subject...

  • Enabling Virtual Globes for A Visual-Auditory User Experience of Spatial Data

    Creator:
    Gune, Aditya N.
    Abstract:
    Geographical datasets are large, complex, and can be difficult for users to navigate and derive meaning from. These datasets, as well as the unique insights derived from them, provide tremendous opportunity for social change -- many of the global challenges humankind is currently facing can benefit from analytics or visualization...

  • Identifying Design Discussion Topics in Open Source Software

    Creator:
    Chatterjee, Amreeta
    Abstract:
    When contributing to a software system, developers need to understand the rationale for previous design decisions so that they can adhere to the system’s design. Not doing so can lead to erosion of the overall design quality of the system. However, discussions embedded in a large volume of communication on...

  • Development of Machine Learning Tools for Increased Reliability of the Electrical Grid

    Creator:
    Dieter, Keaton J.
    Abstract:
    The electrical grid serves as one of the major lifelines to our society. We have come to expect electricity to be available when we want it. But the system that delivers power to us is very complex and made up of many individual pieces. Maintaining and operating this system reliably...

  • 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...

  • Investigating Latent State and Uncertainty Representations in Reinforcement Learning

    Creator:
    Koul, Anurag
    Abstract:
    Learning latent space representations of high-dimensional world states has been at the core of recent rapid growth in reinforcement learning(RL). At the same time, RL algo- rithms have suffered from ignored uncertainties in the predicted estimates of model-free or model-based methods. In our work, we investigate both of these aspects...
