  • Long Wave Amplification in a Coral-Reef Lagoon

    Creator:
    Bheeroo, Vivek Anand
    Abstract:
    A series of laboratory experiments were conducted to study the wave field in the inner lagoon excited by ‘long’ incident waves. Three cases were considered: Cases A, B and C presenting incident waves of wavelength with factors of 1, 2 and 2.5 times the width of the reef respectively. The...

  • Interpretable Machine Learning: Applications in Biology and Genomics

    Creator:
    Danaee, Padideh
    Abstract:
    Machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models impact our daily lives with applications in natural language modeling, image analysis, healthcare, genomics, and bioinformatics. The exponential growth of biological sequence data necessitates accompanying advances in computational methods. Although deep learning is highly effective for detecting and classifying biological sequences, challenges...

  • Learning with Limited Labeled Data in Natural Language Processing

    Creator:
    Obeidat, Rasha
    Abstract:
    The advent of deep learning models leads to a substantial improvement in a wide range of NLP tasks, achieving state-of-art performances without any hand-crafted features. However, training deep models requires a massive amount of labeled data. Labeling new data as a new task or domain emerges consumes time and efforts...

  • Incorporating and Learning Behavior Constraints for Sequential Decision Making

    Creator:
    Pinto, Jervis
    Abstract:
    Writing a program that performs well in a complex environment is a challenging task. In such problems, a method of deterministic programming combined with reinforcement learning (RL) can be helpful. However, current systems either force developers to encode knowledge in very specific forms (e.g., state-action features), or assume advanced RL...

  • A Distributed Scheme for Accelerating and Scaling PSPNet

    Creator:
    Krishna, Ajay
    Abstract:
    Advances in deep learning based image processing have led to their adoption for a wide range of applications, and in tow with these developments is a dramatic increase in the availability of high quality datasets. With this comes the need to accelerate and scale deep learning applications in order to...

  • Galileo - a system for analyzing Java bytecode database handlers subsystem

    Creator:
    Balasubramanian, Eswar, Sharma, Hitesh, and Thorat, Aarti
    Abstract:
    Analysis of programs forms an important activity in the field of software engineering. It is necessary to help understand the code, which facilitates comprehensive testing, maintenance and optimization of code. Aristotle is a tool for analyzing programs written in C. We have designed a system on similar lines for Java...

  • 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...

  • A General Purpose Agent-Based Blackboard Optimization Method Applied to Sodium Fast Reactor Design and Analysis

    Creator:
    Stewart, Ryan H.
    Abstract:
    We present a novel multi-objective optimization methodology built upon a multi-agent blackboard framework. This multi-agent blackboard system (MABS) synthesizes blackboard architectures, multi-agent environments, and optimization theory. The blackboard architecture creates the framework for initializing, storing, and solving a multi-objective optimization problem. Multiple agents allow for an optimization problem to be...

  • Knowledge Base Completion Leveraging Natural Language Data

    Creator:
    Shahbazi, Hamed
    Abstract:
    Information about named entities (real-world objects) is usually harvested from different sources and organized as a multiple relational directed graph in Knowledge Bases (KBs). KBs play essential roles in many NLP modules including question answering, fact-checking, search engines, etc. KBs are big but still incomplete: relational information among entities is...

  • Novelty Detection Under the Multi-Instance Multi-Label Framework

    Creator:
    Lou, Qi
    Abstract:
    Novelty detection plays an important role in machine learning and signal processing. This project studies novelty detection in a new setting where the data object is represented as a bag of instances and associated with multiple class labels, referred to as multi-instance multi-label (MIML) learning. Contrary to the common assumption...
