  • Machine learning for improving the quality of citizen science data

    Creator:
    Yu, Jun
    Abstract:
    Citizen Science is a paradigm in which volunteers from the general public participate in scientific studies, often by performing data collection. This paradigm is especially useful if the scope of the study is too broad to be performed by a limited number of trained scientists. Although citizen scientists can contribute...

  • Listing as a Potential Connection between Sets of Outcomes and Counting Processes

    Creator:
    Erickson, Sarah A.
    Abstract:
    Counting problems are rich in opportunities for students to make meaningful mathematical connections and develop non-algorithmic thinking; their accessible nature and applications to computer science make counting problems a valuable part of mathematics curricula. However, students struggle in various ways with counting, and while previous studies have indicated that listing...

  • Parsing with Recurrent Neural Networks

    Creator:
    Cross, James Henry, III
    Abstract:
    Machine learning models for natural language processing have traditionally relied on large numbers of discrete features, built up from atomic categories such as word forms and part-of-speech labels, which are considered completely distinct from each other. Recently however, the advent of dense feature representations coupled with deep learning techniques has...

  • Probabilistic models for quality control in environmental sensor networks

    Creator:
    Dereszynski, Ethan W.
    Abstract:
    Networks of distributed, remote sensors are providing ecological scientists with a view of our environment that is unprecedented in detail. However, these networks are subject to harsh conditions, which lead to malfunctions in individual sensors and failures in network communications. This behavior manifests as corrupt or missing measurements in the...

  • Usable and Scalable Querying of Scientific Datasets

    Creator:
    McCamish, Benjamin J.
    Abstract:
    Scientists and engineers have to analyze and query multiple large databases. Analysis over databases created by phasor measurement units can provide insight into the health of the grid, thereby improving control over operations. Realizing this data-driven control, however, requires validating, processing and storing massive amounts of PMU data efficiently, which...

  • 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...

  • Analysis of bio-based composites for image segmentation with the aid of games

    Creator:
    Inouye, Jennifer A.
    Abstract:
    A fundamental problem in computer vision is to partition an image into meaningful segments. While image segmentation is required by many applications, the thesis focuses on segmentation of computed tomography (CT) images for analysis and quality control of composite materials. The key research contribution of this thesis is a novel...

  • Learning multiple non-redundant codebooks with word clustering for document classification

    Creator:
    Surve, Akshat Sudhakar
    Abstract:
    The problem of document classification has been widely studied in machine learning and data mining. In document classification, most of the popular algorithms are based on the bag-of-words representation. Due to the high dimensionality of the bag-of-words representation, significant research has been conducted to reduce the dimensionality via different approaches....

  • Interactive player tracking for videos in American football

    Creator:
    Bawaskar, Amit
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents an interactive software tool for tracking a moving object in a video. In particular, we focus on the problem of tracking a player in American football videos. Object tracking is one of the fundamental problems in computer vision. It is one of the most important components in...

  • Domain-Independent Planning for Markov Decision Processes with Factored State and Action Spaces

    Creator:
    Raghavan, Aswin
    Abstract:
    Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) are the de-facto formalism for studying sequential decision making problems with uncertainty, ranging from classical problems such as inventory control and path planning, to more complex problems such as reservoir control under rainfall uncertainty and emergency response optimization for fire and medical emergencies. Most prior research...
