  • Integrating Resource Planning with Bayesian Optimization

    Creator:
    Dolatnia, Nima
    Abstract:
    Bayesian optimization (BO) aims to optimize costly-to-evaluate functions by running a limited number of experiments that each evaluates the function at a selected input. Typical BO formulations assume that experiments are selected sequentially, or in fixed batches. Moreover, these experiments can be executed immediately upon request and have the same...

  • Predator Conservation and Trophic Ecology

    Creator:
    Wolf, Christopher
    Abstract:
    Many of Earth’s terrestrial large carnivore species are threatened with extinction. As a result, some of the ecological effects associated with these species may be lost. With the goal of furthering large carnivore conservation research, I conduct three global scale analyses involving these species. First, I explore prey depletion as...

  • Construction of Anomaly Scores and Probabilities using Random Sampling : A New Score, Efficient Computation, and Threshold Selection.

    Creator:
    Zongo, Kalbi F.
    Abstract:
    Anomaly detection is the task of identifying observations (points) that differ from the majority of other points, which requires some measure of difference, or distance. Many anomaly detection methods rely on “implicit distance” measures: rather than directly calculating an explicitly defined distance, these approaches quantify a point’s “abnormality” by examining...
