  • Methods for Detection and Recovery of Out-of-Distribution Examples

    Creator:
    Ratzlaff, Neale J.
    Abstract:
    Deep neural networks currently comprise the backbone of many applications where safety is a critical concern, for example: autonomous driving and medical diagnostics. Unfortunately these systems currently fail to detect out-of-distribution (OOD) inputs and can be prone to making dangerous errors when exposed to them. In addition, these same systems...

  • 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,...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Evaluating social media attention interventions

    Creator:
    Gasper, David M.
    Abstract:
    Social media platforms use many techniques to engage users' attention with their platforms, including notifications, popups, and gamification elements. The impact of social media on physical and mental health has been studied, but limited publicly available research exists on how social media users can be helped to disengage from these...

  • Probabilities of voting paradoxes with three candidates

    Creator:
    McDonald, Leslie M.
    Abstract:
    Pardoxes in voting has been an interest of voting theorists since the 1800's when Condorcet demonstrated the key example of a voting paradox: voters with individually transitive rankings produce an election outcome which is not transitive. With Arrow's Impossibility Theorem, the hope of finding a fair voting method which accurately...

  • Representationally Robust and Scalable Learning over Relational Databases

    Creator:
    Picado Leiva, Jose Manuel
    Abstract:
    Learning novel concepts from relational databases is an important problem with applications in several disciplines, such as data management, natural language processing, and bioinformatics. For a learning algorithm to be effective, the input data should be clean and in some desired representation. However, real-world data is usually heterogeneous – 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...

  • Multiagent learning for locomotion and coordination in tensegrity robotics

    Creator:
    Iscen, Atil
    Abstract:
    Tensegrity structures are composed of pure compressional elements that are connected via a network of pure tensional elements. The concept of tensegrity promises numerous advantages to the field of robotics. Tensegrity robots are, however, notoriously difficult to control due to their oscillatory nature and nonlinear interaction between the components. Multiagent...

  • Counterfactual States for Atari Agents via Generative Deep Learning

    Creator:
    Olson, Matthew L.
    Abstract:
    Although deep reinforcement learning agents have produced impressive results in many domains, their decision making is difficult to explain to humans. To address this problem, past work has mainly focused on explaining why an action was chosen in a given state. A different type of explanation that is useful is...
