  • Synthetic instrument generation : generating novel instrument timbres with a genetic algorithm

    Creator:
    Knowlton, John
    Abstract:
    The use of genetic algorithms to compose music and generate sounds is an area of interest in the artificial intelligence field. Music and instrument sounds have known rules and structures that can be followed which make them well-suited for genetic algorithms. However, genetic algorithms still struggle to generate sounds comparable...

  • Semantic embodied navigation : developing agents that navigate from language and vision

    Creator:
    Krantz, Jacob
    Abstract:
    Autonomous robotic agents are on their way to becoming in-home personal assistants, construction assistants, and warehouse workers. The degree of autonomy of such systems is reflected by the manner in which we specify goals to them; the abstraction of low-level commands to high-level goals goes hand-in-hand with increased autonomy. In...

  • Visual object discovery and understanding

    Creator:
    Yuan, Jialin
    Abstract:
    Learning to recognize objects is a fundamental and essential step in human perception and understanding of the world. Accordingly, research of object discovery across diverse modalities plays a pivotal role in the context of computer vision. This field not only contributes significantly to enhancing our understanding of visual information but...

  • 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...

  • Explanations and Processes to Enable Humans to Assess AI with Respect to Manipulable Properties

    Creator:
    Dodge, Jonathan E.
    Abstract:
    Assessing AI systems is difficult. Humans rely on AI systems in increasing ways, both visible and invisible, meaning a variety of stakeholders need a variety of assessment tools (e.g., a professional auditor, a developer, and an end user all have different needs). We posit that it is possible to provide...

  • An Information Modeling Framework for Support of Sustainable Manufacturing System Design Decision Making

    Creator:
    Shankar Raman, Arvind
    Abstract:
    Manufacturing technology has continuously evolved and advanced over the past century; this has led to an increase in the production of consumer and industrial goods driven by simultaneous growth in population and wealth. Despite the resulting economic and labor growth, environmental impacts of manufacturing have increased dramatically due to the...

  • Auxiliary Tasks for Efficient Learning of Point-Goal Navigation

    Creator:
    Desai, Saurabh Satish
    Abstract:
    Top-performing approaches to embodied AI tasks like point-goal navigation often rely on training agents via reinforcement learning over tens of millions (or even billions) of experiential steps – learning neural agents that map directly from visual observations to actions. In this work, we question whether these extreme training durations are...

  • Analytical Methods for Improving Causal Inference

    Creator:
    Sinha, Meghamala
    Abstract:
    Causal inference is an important analytical tool to bridge the gap between prediction and decision-making. However, learning a causal network solely from data is a challenging task. In this work, various techniques have been explored for a better and improved causal network learning from data. Firstly, the problem of learning...

  • Variational Satisfiability Solving

    Creator:
    Young, Jeffrey M.
    Abstract:
    Over the last two decades, satisfiability and satisfiability-modulo theory (SAT/SMT) solvers have grown powerful enough to be general purpose reasoning engines throughout software engineering and computer science. However, most practical use cases of SAT/SMT solvers require not just solving a single SAT/SMT problem, but solving sets of related SAT/SMT problems....
