Improving User Mental Models of XAI Systems with Inclusive Design Approaches

Creator:: Hamid, Md Montaser
Abstract:: Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) systems aim to improve users’ understanding of AI but rarely consider the inclusivity aspects of XAI. Without inclusive approaches, improving explanations might not work well for everyone. This study investigates leveraging users’ diverse problem-solving styles as an inclusive strategy to fix an XAI prototype, with the...

Graph Imitation Learning for Optimal Joint Beamforming and Antenna Selection

Creator:: Shrestha, Sagar
Abstract:: Transmit beamforming is an important technique employed to improve efficiency and signal quality in wireless communication systems by steering signals towards their in- tended users. It often arises jointly with the antenna selection problem due to various reasons, such as limited number of radio frequency (RF) chains and energy/resource effi-...

Stake-Free Evaluations of Black-Box Optimization and Spatio-Temporal Graph Network Algorithms

Creator:: Merrill, Erich, III
Abstract:: Papers proposing novel machine learning algorithms tend to present the algorithm or technique in question in the best possible light. The standard practice is generally for authors to emphasize their proposed algorithms' performance in the precise setting where it is maximally impressive, often by only fully evaluating their best known...

Can Pollination Networks Withstand Species Loss? An Examination of Plant–Hummingbird Interactions and Their Responses to Experimental Removal of a Flowering Plant Species

Creator:: Leimberger, Kara G.
Abstract:: Global environmental change is causing local extinctions of species. When species depend on one another, as in the mutualistic relationship between plants and pollinators, loss of one interaction partner may cause cascading effects within the community – such as additional extinctions and reduced pollination services. Network theory provides a way...

Characterizing Uncertainty and Assessing the Impact of Rapid Climate Change on the Distribution of Important Tree Species in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Kralicek, Karin M.
Abstract:: Climate change will impact the location of suitable habitat for tree species in the Pacific Northwest. Locations that become unsuitable will experience increased levels of tree mortality and diminished levels of tree growth. Understanding how these impacts will spatially manifest is vital for efficient management of natural resources. An invaluable...

Are Bird Habitat Associations Consistent Across Space and Time?

Creator:: Rousseau, Josée S.
Abstract:: The concept of the fundamental niche is frequently used in ecology to define the set of environmental conditions needed by a species to survive and reproduce (Hutchinson 1957). In contrast, the realized niche constitutes the locations where a species actually occurred, which is a function of both the environmental (abiotic)...

In-Situ Confocal Scanning Laser Microscopy and Post-Exposure Analysis of a Cu/Fe-based Oxygen Carrier Material in High-Temperature Oxidation and Reduction Environments for Chemical Looping Combustion Applications

Creator:: Nealley, W. H. Harrison
Abstract:: A Cu/Fe-spinel-based oxygen carrier designed at the National Energy Technology Laboratory was studied in order to characterize its physical and chemical behavior with cyclic oxidation and reduction treatments at 800°C for applications in chemical looping combustions. Observations were made on individual particles of the oxygen carrier in-situ using a confocal...

WebModeler: Modeling Human Hunting Induced Mammal Depletion in the Web

Creator:: Thenell, Tasman
Abstract:: The Amazon basin is a natural wonder of biodiversity that serves as one of the largest single carbon storage mechanisms in the world. For these reasons, preserving the Amazon and other similar forests is a worthy goal. Protecting these spaces is not possible without understanding the threats facing animal populations...

Distribution, habitat associations, and conservation status of Pacific fisher (Pekania pennanti) in Oregon.

Creator:: Barry, Brent R.
Abstract:: Fishers (Pekania pennanti) are medium sized mustelids endemic to North America. Two fisher populations persist in Oregon: an indigenous population in southwestern Oregon, and a reintroduced population in the southern Cascade Mountains. Despite candidacy for listing under the Endangered Species Act, current information on fisher populations in Oregon is scarce....

Visualization and analysis of sensor data for detecting microclimate cold air pools

Creator:: Singh, Satpreet Harcharan
Abstract:: Cold air pools are spatiotemporal phenomena that occur when cold air from higher elevations roll down the slope to accumulate in lower elevations. Behaviors like this lead to microclimate anomalies such as the city of Corvallis (Oregon) experiencing persistent cold weather even on a sunny day. We analyze multivariate temperature...
