Protein secondary structure prediction using conditional random fields and profiles

Creator:

Shen, Rongkun

Abstract:

Protein secondary structure prediction plays a pivotal role in predicting protein folding in three-dimensions. Its task is to assign each residue one of the three secondary structure classes helix, strand, or random coil. This is an instance of the problem of sequential supervised learning in machine learning. This thesis describes...

Masters Thesis
Applying hierarchical and adaptive control to coordinating simple robots

Creator:

Knudson, Matthew D.

Abstract:

Coordinating multiple robots to achieve a complex task requires solving two distinct control problems: the high-level control problem of ensuring that each robot aims to perform a useful task (e.g., coordination) and the low-level control problem of ensuring that each robot actually performs the correct actions to achieve its task...

Masters Thesis
Effective decision-theoretic assistance through relational hierarchical models

Creator:

Natarajan, Sriraam

Abstract:

Building intelligent computer assistants has been a long-cherished goal of AI. Many intelligent assistant systems were built and fine-tuned to specific application domains. In this work, we develop a general model of assistance that combines three powerful ideas: decision theory, hierarchical task models and probabilistic relational languages. We use the...
