  • Assessment Tool for CAC Self-Study Report

    Creator:
    Mathur, Pankaj
    Abstract:
    Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (ABET) is the primary organization responsible for monitoring, evaluating and certifying the quality of engineering, engineering technology, computing and applied sciences education in the United States. In 2000, ABET changed the way computer science (and engineering) programs are accredited from a ‘checklist’ approach...

  • Managing bug reports in free/open source software (FOSS) communities

    Creator:
    Mohan, Nitin
    Abstract:
    Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) communities often use open bug reporting to allow users to participate by reporting bugs. This practice can lead to more duplicate reports, as inexperienced users can be less rigorous about researching existing bug reports. The purpose of this research is to determine the extent of this...

  • Analysis and Transformations in Support of Android Privacy

    Creator:
    Bogdanas, Denis, Nelson, Nicholas, and Dig, Danny
    Abstract:
    To protect user’s privacy and system’s integrity, mobile platforms use permission models to control accesses to protected resources such as GPS location, Contacts, etc. The previous major version of Android used a static permission model, which compromised the security and privacy of apps. Android 6 overhauled its permission model to...

  • 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...

  • Software history under the lens : a study on why and how developers examine it

    Creator:
    Codoban, Mihai, Srinivasa Ragavan, Sruti, Dig, Danny, and Bailey, Brian
    Abstract:
    Despite software history being indispensable for developers, there is little empirical knowledge about how they examine software history. Without such knowledge, researchers and tool builders are in danger of making wrong assumptions and building inadequate tools. In this paper we present an in-depth empirical study about the motivations developers have...

  • muupi: An Abstract Syntax Tree based Mutation Testing Tool for Python 2.x Programs

    Creator:
    Liu, Xin
    Abstract:
    Mutation testing is one of the effective approaches measuring test adequacy of test suites. It is widely used in both academia and industry. Unfortunately, the adoption and practical use of mutation testing for Python 2.x programs face three obstacles. First, limited useful mutation operators. Existing mutation testing tools support very...

  • Modeling experts and novices in citizen science data for species distribution modeling

    Creator:
    Yu, Jun, Wong, Weng-Keen, and Hutchinson, Rebecca
    Abstract:
    The term Citizen Science refers to scientific research in which volunteers from the community participate in scientific studies as field assistants. Since citizen scientists can collect data cheaply, they enable research to be performed at much larger spatial and temporal scales than trained scientists can cover. Species distribution modeling which...

  • An Empirical Evaluation of Policy Rollout for Clue

    Creator:
    Marshall, Eric
    Abstract:
    We model the popular board game of Clue as an MDP and evaluate Monte-Carlo policy rollout in a simulated environment pitting different agents and policies against each other. We describe the choices we made in the representation, along with some of the problems we encountered along the way. We find...

  • End-user programming tool for creating custom health surveys with automatically generated reports

    Creator:
    Krishnamurthy, Pratik
    Abstract:
    Online survey data collection is becoming popular because it provides benefits in cost, ease of collecting and managing data, flexibility in format, and access to a diverse population. Surveys are often used for health studies such as Oregon State University’s WAVE Project, which utilizes the WavePipe system, a server enabling...

  • Shape Modeling and GPU Based Image Warping

    Creator:
    Burri, David
    Abstract:
    This project addresses the problems of manually placing facial landmarks on a portrait and finding a fast way to warp the annotated image of a face. While there are many approaches to automatically find facial landmarks, most of them provide insufficient results in uncontrolled environments. Thus I introduce a method...
