  • Fluid flow on interacting, deformable surfaces

    Creator:
    Neill, Patrick
    Abstract:
    Fluid simulation is an interesting research problem with a wide range of applications including mechanical engineering, special effects in movies and games, and scientific simulation. Due to the complex nature of typical fluid flow equations, there are circumstances where a full volumetric fluid simulation may not be necessary to generate...

  • Branched Covering Space Construction and Visualization

    Creator:
    Golbabaei, Sanaz
    Abstract:
    Branched covering spaces are a mathematical concept which originates from complex analysis and topology and has found applications in tensor field topology and geometry re-meshing. Given a manifold surface and an N-way rotational symmetry field, a branched covering space is a manifold surface that has an N-to-1 map to the...

  • A Study of Temporal Convolutional Neural Networks for Music Language Modeling as Applied to Automatic Music Transcription

    Creator:
    Meyn, Matthew
    Abstract:
    Automatic music transcription (AMT) is the task, given an acoustic representation of music, to recover a symbolic notation of the written notes expressed by the sound. Transcribing music with multiple notes sounding simultaneously is difficult for both humans and machines. Much existing work on AMT has focused on suitable acoustic...

  • Tensor Field Design and Analysis for Applications in Computer Graphics and Scientific Visualization

    Creator:
    Palacios, Jonathan
    Abstract:
    Many applications in computer graphics and geometry processing rely on the ability to locally orient 2D and 3D entities on a surface, or inside a volume, such as the sinusoidal kernels in Gabor noise, the color and geometry textures in pattern synthesis, and the finite elements in remeshing. In these...

  • The ChildsPlay Approach: Evaluating an Experimental Approach for Teaching Introductory CS at University

    Creator:
    Nelson, Aiden J.
    Abstract:
    University students first learning about computer science (CS) can be intimidated and frustrated by programming. In addition, the general-purpose programming languages chosen for introducing students to programming contain several features that have the potential to overwhelm and distract them from focused curriculum topics, which can lead to reduced retention of...

  • Rendering and Simulation for Tires Rolling on Snow

    Creator:
    Clucas, Alexander
    Abstract:
    Modeling tire-snow interaction is important in designing effective snow tires, which directly affects road safety during wintry weather. Unfortunately, tires have complex tread designs and the physical properties of snow have not been characterized. We employ the Material Point Method (MPM) for simulating a material that mimics the fracturing and...

  • Guided Translation of Algorithmic Notation into Functional Programs

    Creator:
    Fedorin, Danila
    Abstract:
    The use of board games for teaching introductory computer science is a promising recent avenue of research. The goal is to introduce computing concepts through their use in the implementations of simple games, thereby keeping students engaged through their learning process. However, there is a gap between students' algorithmic descriptions...

  • Fluid-structure interaction analysis with the particle finite element method

    Creator:
    Zhu, Minjie
    Abstract:
    To facilitate the evaluation and design of structures subjected to fluid loading, a study of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) using the particle finite element method (PFEM) is presented to approximate the responses and sensitivities of structures which interact with fluid. A wide range of structural types are permissible by making no...
