  • Effectiveness of integration of internet technologies in support of teaching and learning computer science programming

    Creator:
    Hajebi, Mojgan
    Abstract:
    In spite of wide spread adoption of the internet technology in teaching and learning, little research exists on the use and the effect of web incorporation in teaching and learning. Immediate clarification of how, when, and for whom the web integration in education is beneficial is needed. This qualitative study...

  • Porting and optimizing a routing library for Dataparallel C on the nCUBE 2 system

    Creator:
    Sivaramapuram, Krishna
    Abstract:
    Dataparallel C has been designed for various kinds of architectures and was devel­oped jointly at University of New Hampshire and Oregon State University. This project dealt with porting the libraries to the nCUBE 2 system and helping a user compile his programs on nCUBE 2 directly from a Sun workstation...

  • 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...

  • Model-based approximation methods for reinforcement learning

    Creator:
    Wang, Xin
    Abstract:
    The thesis focuses on model-based approximation methods for reinforcement learning with large scale applications such as combinatorial optimization problems. First, the thesis proposes two new model-based methods to stablize the value–function approximation for reinforcement learning. The first one is the BFBP algorithm, a batch-like reinforcement learning process which iterates between...

  • Coordination for Scalable Multiple Robot Planning Under Temporal Uncertainty

    Creator:
    Marcon dos Santos, Gilberto
    Abstract:
    This dissertation incorporates coalition formation and probabilistic planning towards a domain-independent automated planning solution scalable to multiple heterogeneous robots in complex domains. The first research direction investigates the effectiveness of Task Fusion and introduces heuristics that improve task allocation and result in better quality plans, while requiring lower computational cost...

  • Activity recognition in desktop environments

    Creator:
    Shen, Jianqiang
    Abstract:
    Knowledge workers are struggling in the information flood. There is a growing interest in intelligent desktop environments that help knowledge workers organize their daily life. Intelligent desktop environments allow the desktop user to define a set of “activities” that characterize the user’s desktop work. These environments then attempt to identify...

  • Simulator-Defined MDP Planning with Applications in Natural Resource Management

    Creator:
    Alkaee Taleghan, Majid
    Abstract:
    This work is inspired by problems in natural resource management centered on the challenge of invasive species. Computing optimal management policies for maintaining ecosystem sustainable is challenging. Many ecosystem management problems can be formulated as MDP (Markov Decision Process) planning problems. In a simulator-defined MDP, the Markovian dynamics and rewards...

  • Active learning of constraints for semi-supervised clustering

    Creator:
    Xiong, Sicheng
    Abstract:
    Semi-supervised clustering aims to improve clustering performance by considering user supervision in the form of pairwise constraints. In this paper, we study the active learning problem of selecting pairwise must-link and cannot-link constraints for semisupervised clustering. We consider active learning in an iterative manner where in each iteration queries are...

  • Advances in Simultaneous Translation

    Creator:
    Zheng, Renjie
    Abstract:
    Simultaneous translation, which translates concurrently with the source language speech, is widely used in many scenarios including multilateral organizations. However, it is well known to be one of the most challenging tasks for humans due to the simultaneous perception and production in two languages. On the other hand, simultaneous translation...
