  • Computational Approaches for RNA Structure Prediction with Dynamic Programming and Deep Neural Networks

    Creator:
    Deng, Dezhong
    Abstract:
    Our goal is to build a system to model the RNA sequences that reveals their structural information by using efficient dynamic programming algorithms and deep learning approaches. We aim to 1) achieve linear-time for RNA secondary structure prediction based on existing minimum free energy models; 2) utilize deep neural networks...

  • Pedestrian distraction : pedestrian behaviors at midblock crossings considering geometric and environmental conditions

    Creator:
    Kautz, Julia Anne
    Abstract:
    Pedestrian distraction at roadway crossings has been correlated with a higher risk of pedestrian-vehicle collisions due to the pedestrian's cognitive, visual, and motor attention being drawn to a wide variety of secondary tasks. This study is different from previous field studies of pedestrian midblock crossings in that the geometric layout...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Toward computer vision for understanding American football in video

    Creator:
    Hess, Robin W.
    Abstract:
    In this work, I examine the problem of understanding American football in video. In particular, I present several mid-level computer vision algorithms that each accomplish a different sub-task within a larger system for annotating, interpreting, and analyzing collections of American football video. The analysis of football video is useful in...

  • Sliding-mode control of the super maneuverable aircraft

    Creator:
    Koo, Chang Sul
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, A nonlinear methodology for the control of the highly maneuverable, high performance aircraft HARV (F-18) is studied by using sliding-mode control (SMC). This control law, which takes a continuous function when the input constraints are not considered, satisfies the reachability condition by which concerned states are driven...

  • Object highlighting : real-time boundary detection using a Bayesian network

    Creator:
    Jia, Jin
    Abstract:
    Image segmentation continues to be a fundamental problem in computer vision and image understanding. In this thesis, we present a Bayesian network that we use for object boundary detection in which the MPE (most probable explanation) before any evidence can produce multiple non-overlapping, non-self-intersecting closed contours and the MPE with...

  • Calibrating the highway safety manual predictive methods for Oregon rural state highways

    Creator:
    Xie, Fei
    Abstract:
    The first edition of the Highway Safety Manual (HSM) provides a quantitative approach to predict the safety of transportation facilities based on the recently developed scientific methods. This approach, known as the predictive method, was developed for several states in the United States. Due to differences in driver population, weather...

  • 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...

  • Nonuniform Sampling Of Band-limited Functions

    Creator:
    Al-Hammali, Hussain Y.
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, we will study certain generalizations of the classical Shannon Sampling Theorem, which allows for the reconstruction of a pi-band-limited, square-integrable function from its samples on the integers. J. R. Higgins provided a generalization where the integers can be perturbed by less than 1/4, which includes nonuniform and...
