  • 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...

  • Efficient Incremental Panorama Reconstruction from Multiple Videos

    Creator:
    Feng, Zhongyuan
    Abstract:
    Constructing a panorama from a set of videos is a long-standing problem in computer vision. A panorama represents an enhanced still-image representation of an entire scene captured in a set of videos, where each video shows only a part of the scene. Importantly, a panorama shows only the scene background,...

  • 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...

  • 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;...

  • 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...

  • Applying machine learning for prediction, recommendation, and integration

    Creator:
    Bao, Xinlong
    Abstract:
    This dissertation explores the idea of applying machine learning technologies to help computer users find information and better organize electronic resources, by presenting the research work conducted in the following three applications: FolderPredictor, Stacking Recommendation Engines, and Integrating Learning and Reasoning. FolderPredictor is an intelligent desktop software tool that helps...

  • Toward Automated Decision-Making in Power Systems Wide-Area Protection

    Creator:
    Meier, Richard John
    Abstract:
    In recent years there have been many improvements in the reliability of critical infrastructure systems. Despite these improvements and despite targeted efforts to improve the operation and control of the electric grid, the power systems industry has seen relatively small advances in this regard. For instance, today's power system is...

  • 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....
