  • Designing and understanding information retrieval systems using collaborative filtering in an academic library environment

    Creator:
    Jung, Seikyung
    Abstract:
    Accessing information on the Web has become ingrained into our daily lives, and we seek information from many different sources, including conference and journal publications, personal web pages, and others. Increasingly, web-based information retrieval systems such as web-based search engines, library on-line catalog systems, and subscription-based federated search systems are...

  • Image feature detection and matching for biological object recognition

    Creator:
    Deng, Hongli
    Abstract:
    Image feature detection and matching are two critical processes for many computer vision tasks. Currently, intensity-based local interest region detectors and local feature-based matching methods are used widely in computer vision applications. But in some applications, such as biological object recognition tasks, within-class changes in pose, lighting, color, and texture...

  • A SAT-based planning framework for optimizing resource production

    Creator:
    Ventura, Christopher
    Abstract:
    Domain-independent automated planning is concerned with computing a sequence of actions that can transform an initial state into a desired goal state. Resource production domains form an interesting class of such problems, in that they typically require reasoning about concurrent durative-actions with continuous effects while minimizing some cost function. Although...

  • D₊₊ : Structural Credit Assignment in Tightly Coupled Multiagent Domains

    Creator:
    Rahmattalabi, Aida
    Abstract:
    Autonomous multiagent teams can be used in complex exploration tasks to both expedite the exploration and improve the efficiency. However, use of multiagent systems presents additional challenges. Specifically, in domains where the agents' actions are tightly coupled, coordinating multiple agents to achieve cooperative behavior at the group level is difficult....

  • Learning with Partial Supervision for Clustering and Classification

    Creator:
    Pei, Yuanli
    Abstract:
    In the field of machine learning, clustering and classification are two fundamental tasks. Traditionally, clustering is an unsupervised method, where no supervision about the data is available for learning; classification is a supervised task, where fully-labeled data are collected for training a classifier. In some scenarios, however, we may not...

  • Advanced separation of concerns and the compatibility of aspect-orientation

    Creator:
    Dechow, Doug
    Abstract:
    The appropriate separation of concerns is a fundamental engineering principle. A concern, for software developers, is that which must be represented by code in a program; by extension, separation of concerns is the ability to represent a single concern in a single appropriate programming language construct. Advanced separation of concerns...

  • Development of a dose conversion factor from uptakes of Po-210 through smoking using a modified ICRP 30 lung model

    Creator:
    Hout, Jason D.
    Abstract:
    A thesis presented on the determination of factors related to deposition, clearance, and dosimetry of the ICRP 30 lung model as related to smoking. Variations in calculations used to determine radiation doses leave a need to determine a standard method to determine absorbed dose from smoking. Standard parameters are used...

  • Adversarial planning by strategy switching in a real-time strategy game

    Creator:
    King, Brian D.
    Abstract:
    We consider the problem of strategic adversarial planning in a Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game. Strategic adversarial planning is the generation of a network of high-level tasks to satisfy goals while anticipating an adversary's actions. In this thesis we describe an abstract state and action space used for planning in an...

  • Towards reliable and survivable ocean wave energy converters

    Creator:
    Brown, Adam C.
    Abstract:
    Ocean wave energy is a new and developing field of renewable energy with great potential. The energy contained in one meter of an average wave off the coast of Newport Oregon could supply dozens of homes with electricity. However, ocean waves are usually quite irregular which leads to large bursts...

  • Microstructure of radiation damage in the uranium film and its backing materials irradiated with 136 MeV 136Xe+26, Microstructure of radiation damage in the uranium film and its backing materials irradiated with 136 MeV ¹³⁶Xe⁺²⁶

    Creator:
    Sadi, Supriyadi
    Abstract:
    Microstructure changes in uranium and uranium/metal alloys due to radiation damage are of great interest in nuclear science and engineering. Titanium has attracted attention because of its similarity to Zr. It has been proposed for use in the second generation of fusion reactors due to its resistance to radiation-induced swelling....
