  • 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...

  • Relationship of pauses to problem solving events in mechanical design protocols

    Creator:
    Chamberlin, Martha J.
    Abstract:
    This thesis compares two methods for studying the problem-solving processes of mechanical design engineers. The first method, verbal protocol analysis, was applied by L. Stauffer to construct a problem-solving model of mechanical design. The second method, timing analysis, measures the time intervals separating drawing or speaking actions during the design...

  • An empirical study into learning through experimentation

    Creator:
    Ruff, Ritchey Alvin
    Abstract:
    A key aspect of how we understand the world revolves around an ability to manipulate our surroundings to experiment. From the scientific method through theories of child development, the ability to experiment is deemed critical; however, few studies have been performed to understand the strengths and weaknesses of different experimental...

  • Three methods for estimating subpixel cover fractions in coarse resolution imagery

    Creator:
    Damon, Diane L.
    Abstract:
    Coarse resolution imagery, such as that produced by the MODIS instrument, poses the challenge of estimating sub-pixel proportions of di erent land cover types. This problem is di cult because of the variety and variability of vegetation within individual pixels. This thesis describes and compares two existing algorithms for estimating...

  • Machine learning in engineering : techniques to speed up numerical optimization

    Creator:
    Cerbone, G. (Giuseppe)
    Abstract:
    Many important application problems in engineering can be formalized as nonlinear optimization tasks. However, numerical methods for solving such problems are brittle and do not scale well. For example, these methods depend critically on choosing a good starting point from which to perform the optimization search. In high-dimensional spaces, numerical...

  • Correct abstraction in counter-planning : a knowledge compilation approach

    Creator:
    Flann, Nicholas S.
    Abstract:
    Knowledge compilation improves search-intensive problem-solvers that are easily specified but inefficient. One promising approach improves efficiency by constructing a database of problem-instance/best-action pairs that replace problem-solving search with efficient lookup. The database is constructed by reverse enumeration- expanding the complete search space backwards, from the terminal problem instances. This approach...

  • Anomaly Detection and Probabilistic Diagnosis for Automated Data Quality Control

    Creator:
    Zemicheal, Tadesse H.
    Abstract:
    Advances in sensor technology are greatly expanding the range of quantities that can be measured while simultaneously reducing the cost. However, deployed sensors drift out of calibration and fail, so every sensor network requires quality control procedures to promptly detect these failures. To address these problems, we propose a two-level...

  • Improving automated email tagging with implicit feedback

    Creator:
    Sorower, Mohammad Shahed
    Abstract:
    Machine learning systems are generally trained offline using ground truth data that has been labeled by experts. However, these batch training methods are not a good fit for many applications, especially in the cases where complete ground truth data is not available for offline training. In addition, batch methods do...

  • The Familiarity Hypothesis: Explaining the Behavior of Deep Learning Methods in Out-of-Distribution Detection

    Creator:
    Guyer, Alexander
    Abstract:
    Many object recognition applications require detecting and responding to objects drawn from a different distribution from that of the training data. This task is referred to as out-of-distribution (OOD) detection, and it is often formulated as an outlier detection problem wherein the probability distribution of the known data P(X) is...

  • Just enough die-level functional test : optimizing IC test via machine learning and decision theory

    Creator:
    Fountain, Tony R.
    Abstract:
    This research explores the hypothesis that methods from decision theory and machine learning can be combined to provide practical solutions to current manufacturing control problems. This hypothesis is explored by developing an integrated approach to solving one manufacturing problem - the optimization of die-level functional test. An integrated circuit (IC)...
