  • Test case prioritization

    Creator:
    Malishevsky, Alexey Grigorievich
    Abstract:
    Regression testing is an expensive software engineering activity intended to provide confidence that modifications to a software system have not introduced faults. Test case prioritization techniques help to reduce regression testing cost by ordering test cases in a way that better achieves testing objectives. In this thesis, we are interested...

  • Numerical modeling and experiments on wood-strand composites

    Creator:
    Le, Edward A.
    Abstract:
    In wood-based composites, the glue-line (interface) between wood-strands affects the stress transfer from one member to the next. The glue-line properties determine the rate of load transfer between phases and these properties depend on wood species, surface preparation, glue properties, glue penetration into wood cells, and moisture content of the...

  • A collaborative filtering algorithm and evaluation metric that accurately model the user experience

    Creator:
    McLaughlin, Matthew
    Abstract:
    "Collaborative filtering algorithms’ performances have been evaluated using a variety of metrics. These metrics, such as Mean Absolute Error and Precision, have often ignored recommendations for which they do not have data. Ignoring these recommendations has provided numbers which do not accurately represent the user experience. Qualitatively we have seen...

  • 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...

  • Mechanical design under changing customer requirements case study : BugID

    Creator:
    Fagan, Chris R.
    Abstract:
    Customer requirements and engineering specifications will influence the direction of the design in any product, so it is crucial to make the requirements as stable as possible so quality designs can be produced on time within a budget. It would be optimal for requirements and specifications to remain constant but...

  • Physical activity recognition of free-living data using change-point detection algorithms and hidden Markov models

    Creator:
    Anderson, Michael M.
    Abstract:
    Physical activity recognition using accelerometer data is a rapidly emerging field with many real-world applications. Much of the previous work in this area has assumed that the accelerometer data has already been segmented into pure activities, and the activity recognition task has been to classify these segments. In reality, activity...

  • Weakly Supervised Learning for Activity Recognition from Time Series Data

    Creator:
    Guan, Xinze
    Abstract:
    The thesis focuses on activity recognition from sensor data, which has spurred a great deal of interest due to its impact on health care and security. Previous work on activity recognition from multivariate time series data has mainly applied supervised learning techniques which require a high degree of annotation effort...

  • Efficient Incremental Panorama Reconstruction from Multiple Videos

    Creator:
    Feng, Zhongyuan
    Abstract:
    Constructing a panorama from a set of videos is a long-standing problem in computer vision. A panorama represents an enhanced still-image representation of an entire scene captured in a set of videos, where each video shows only a part of the scene. Importantly, a panorama shows only the scene background,...

  • 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...

  • 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...
