  • Statistical Properties and Guarantees for Certain Anomaly Detection Relevant Problems

    Creator:
    Liu, Si
    Abstract:
    Anomaly detection aims at detecting the points that appear different than the majority of the data, such that they are suspected to be generated from a different distribution. Anomaly detectors have been applied in many different fields, such as detecting fraudulent behaviors in bank transaction, finding broken sensors in a...

  • Agile Bipedal Locomotion via Hierarchical Control by Incorporating Physical Principles, Learning, and Optimization

    Creator:
    Green, Kevin
    Abstract:
    Robotic Bipedal locomotion holds the potential for efficient, robust traversal of difficult terrain. The difficulty lies in the dynamics of locomotion which complicate control and motion planning. Bipedal locomotion dynamics are dimensionally large problems, extremely nonlinear, and operate on the limits of actuator capabilities, which limit the performance of generic...

  • Detecting Anomalies in Object Appearance and Motion Dynamics

    Creator:
    Alotaibi, Mazen
    Abstract:
    Machine common sense remains a broad, potentially unbounded problem in AI. Our focus is to move toward AI systems that can develop common-sense reasoning similar to humans to detect anomalies. In particular, we study the problem of detecting the violation of expectations when object appearance or motion dynamics change from...

  • Characterizing and Addressing Dataset Shift with Deep Learning

    Creator:
    Olson, Matthew L.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation delves into understanding, characterizing, and addressing dataset shift in deep learning, a pervasive issue for deployed machine learning systems. Integral aspects of the problem are examined: We start with the use of counterfactual explanations in order to characterize the behavior of deep reinforcement learning agents in visual input...

  • Navigation and coordination of autonomous mobile robots with limited resources

    Creator:
    Knudson, Matthew D.
    Abstract:
    The use of autonomous robots in complex exploration tasks is rapidly increasing. Indeed, robots can provide speed and cost effectiveness in many tasks, as well as allow operation in environments that are hostile to humans. In this dissertation we: 1) provide two adaptive navigation algorithms; 2) develop a coordination mechanism;...

  • Uncertainty in Deep Learning with Implicit Neural Networks

    Creator:
    Ratzlaff, Neale
    Abstract:
    The ability to extract uncertainties from predictions is crucial for the adoption of deep learning systems to safety-critical applications. Uncertainty estimates can be used as a failure signal, which is necessary for automating complex tasks where safety is a concern. Furthermore, current deep learning systems do not provide uncertainty estimates,...

  • Theory and Implementation of a Variational Database Management System

    Creator:
    Ataei, Parisa S.
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, I present the variational database management system, a formal framework and its implementation for representing variation in relational databases and managing variational information needs. A variational database is intended to support any kind of variation in a database. Specific kinds of variation in databases have already been...

  • Deep Learning for Human and Biological Languages

    Creator:
    Hong, Junki
    Abstract:
    We explore the application of deep learning to the disparate fields of natural language processing and computational biology. Both the sentences uttered by humans as well as the RNA and protein sequences found within the cells of their bodies can be considered formal languages in computer science, as sets of...

  • 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...

  • Automatic Explanations of Computation Results with Value Decompositions and Dominating Sets

    Creator:
    Kumar, Prashant
    Abstract:
    In an increasingly computation-driven world, algorithms and mathematical models significantly impact decision making across various fields. To foster trust and understanding, it is crucial to provide users with clear and concise explanations of the reasoning behind the results produced by computational tools, especially when recommendations appear counterintuitive. Legal frameworks in...
