  • 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....

  • Adiabatic Markov Decision Process : convergence of value iteration algorithm

    Creator:
    Duong, Thai
    Abstract:
    Markov Decision Process (MDP) is a well-known framework for devising the optimal decision making strategies under uncertainty. Typically, the decision maker assumes a stationary environment which is characterized by a time-invariant transition probability matrix. However, in many real-world scenarios, this assumption is not justified, thus the optimal strategy might not...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Protein secondary structure prediction using conditional random fields and profiles

    Creator:
    Shen, Rongkun
    Abstract:
    Protein secondary structure prediction plays a pivotal role in predicting protein folding in three-dimensions. Its task is to assign each residue one of the three secondary structure classes helix, strand, or random coil. This is an instance of the problem of sequential supervised learning in machine learning. This thesis describes...

  • Scale effects on reinforced concrete beams strengthened for shear with discrete externally bonded carbon fiber-reinforced polymer U-wraps

    Creator:
    Dawson, Matthew Ryan
    Abstract:
    Current ACI design provisions for shear in reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with externally bonded carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) U-wraps may not adequately account for the effect of scale. This paper describes tests of 6 geometrically scaled beams to identify possible scale effects of such beams. Results indicated that effective...

    Abstract:
    Global Positioning Systems have allowed for precise timing of power system measurements over wide areas. This newly found capability has the potential to provide much greater insight into the operation of the power system and its response to contingencies, but few analytical techniques currently exist that provide enough robustness and...

  • Update programming -- a safe approach to software maintenance

    Creator:
    Ren, Deling
    Abstract:
    Software maintenance accounts for a large portion of the software development cost, particularly the process of updating programs either to adapt for requirement change or to enhance design or efficiency. Currently, program updates are generally performed manually by programmers using text editors. This is an unreliable method because syntax and...
