  • 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...

  • Interactive visualization of diversity in multivariate data sets unified across fields of study

    Creator:
    Pham, Tuan N. T.
    Abstract:
    The study of the diversity of multivariate objects shares common characteristics across disciplines, including ecology and organizational management. Nevertheless, experts in these two disciplines have adopted somewhat separate diversity concepts and analysis techniques, limiting the ability of potentially sharing and cross comparing these concerns. Moreover, while complex diversity data may...

  • On feature relevance feedback methods : incorporating labeled user features

    Creator:
    Oberst, Ian
    Abstract:
    In text classification, labeling features is often less time consuming than labeling entire documents. In situations where very little labeled training data is available, feature relevance feedback has the potential to dramatically increase classification performance. We review previous work on incorporating feature relevance feedback in the form of labeled features...

  • Novel approaches to promoting end-user programming

    Creator:
    Bahmani, Faezeh
    Abstract:
    End-user programming has become widespread. The increasing size of this population and the prevalence of barriers that they face has sparked the development of approaches that promote end-user programing by helping them overcome barriers and teaching them programming. Despite the fact that these approaches have done well in achieving those...

  • Diagramming practices in open source software development

    Creator:
    Chung, Eunyoung
    Abstract:
    Visual information presented in diagrams promotes information processing both in an individual and in collaborative work. Previous literature has identified the role of diagrams in understanding information processing in a variety of disciplines. In software engineering, diagrams are a prevalent method involved in process development: diagrams are used for system...

  • Involving older adults in the design and development of free/open source software

    Creator:
    Davidson, Jennifer L.
    Abstract:
    An age-wave is upon us where many older adults are reaching retirement. Technically experienced older adults have skills that could be directly applied to free/open source software (FOSS) communities, such as project management, programming, and/or knowledge of a rapidly growing end-user population. FOSS is a widely popular, low-cost way to...

  • Structured representation of composite software changes

    Creator:
    Chabra, Aarti
    Abstract:
    In a software development cycle, programs go through many iterations. Identifying and understanding program changes is a tedious but necessary task for programmers, especially when software is developed in a collaborative environment. Existing tools used by the programmers either lack in finding the structural differences, or report the differences as...

  • Leyline : a provenance-based desktop search system using graphical sketchpad user interface

    Creator:
    Ghorashi, Seyed Soroush
    Abstract:
    While there are powerful keyword search systems that index all kinds of resources including emails and web pages, people have trouble recalling semantic facts such as the name, location, edit dates and keywords that uniquely identifies resources in their personal repositories. Reusing information exasperates this problem. A rarely used approach...

  • Machine learning methods for public policy : simulation, optimization, and visualization

    Creator:
    McGregor, Sean
    Abstract:
    Society faces many complex management problems, particularly in the area of shared public resources such as ecosystems. Existing decision making processes are often guided by personal experience and political ideology rather than state-of-the-art scientific understanding. This dissertation envisions a future in which multiple stakeholders are provided with computational tools for...

  • Gender differences in robot teleoperation

    Creator:
    Showkat, Dilruba
    Abstract:
    Gender issues have recently received increased attention in human robot interaction (HRI). Because robots are becoming part of our homes and daily lives, it is important to understand how different groups of people use them. To the best of our knowledge, almost no research has been done that investigates gender...
