Towards helping end-user programmers’ information foraging by manipulating information features in a patch

Creator:

Athreya, Balaji

Abstract:

Software maintenance tasks often require finding information within existing code, which is time-consuming and difficult even for professional programmers. For example, programmers may need to know what code implements certain functionality or what is the purpose of certain code. In response, researchers have developed tools to help programmers find information...

Capstone Project
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...

Mooring analysis of the Ocean Sentinel through field observation and numerical simulation

Creator:

Baker, Joshua L.

Abstract:

This study presents a mooring analysis of the Ocean Sentinel buoy, which is a mobile test platform for Wave Energy Converters. The Ocean Sentinel is owned and operated by the Northwest National Marine Renewable Energy Center (NNMREC) at Oregon State University (OSU). The study involved a field observation as well...

Reinforcement Learning for P2P Backup Applications

Creator:

Mall, Shikhar

Abstract:

A five year study of file-system metadata shows that the number of files increases by 200% and only a select few file-types contribute for over 35% of the files that exist on a file-system. It is difficult to point out a permanent selection of files that a user really cares...

What's that on the beach? Designing a Protocol for the Identification and Reporting of Stranded Marine Fish, Squid, and Turtles Using the Oregon Coast as a Proof-of-Concept

Creator:

Asson, Danielle and Asson, Danielle C.

Abstract:

It is not unusual to see stranded or washed-up marine animals and birds along any coastline. Various networks nationwide exist to report marine mammals and sea birds, yet, we have been unable to find a network in Oregon or nationally to report other stranded marine animals, namely fish, cephalopods, and...

Classifier Chains for Multi-Label Classification with Incomplete Labels

Creator:

Almuallim, Jafer

Abstract:

Many methods have been explored in the literature of multi-label learning, ranging from simple problem transformation to more complex method that capture correlation among labels. However, mostly all existing works do not address the challenge with incomplete label data. The goal of this project is to extend the work of...

Opportunities and challenges in engaging stakeholders in marine reserves planning in Oregon

Creator:

Bird, Arwen

Abstract:

This paper explores the contributions of social capital, social connections, and stakeholder engagement to the goals of ecosystem-based management in a local scale marine planning process. The body of work presented here, through a journal article and report, uses the lens of social capital to evaluate stakeholder engagement in making...

On Simpson’s Paradox for Discrete Lifetime Distributions

Creator:

Lebowitz, Daniel

Abstract:

In probability and statistics, Simpson’s paradox is an apparent paradox in which a trend is present in different groups, but is reversed when the groups are combined. Joel Cohen (1986) has shown that continuously distributed lifetimes can never have a Simpson’s paradox. We investigate the same question for discrete random...

Topographic heterogeneity and the spatial pattern of air temperature in a mountain landscape

Creator:

Wilson, Brian Marc

Abstract:

The objective of this study was to compile, validate, and map minimum and maximum mean monthly temperature and temperature ranges for periods of 10 to 14 months between July 2009 and June 2012, measured using 16 to 182 sensors distributed over the HJ Andrews Forest, a mountain landscape of 64...

Effects of land use policy on urban growth rates in the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:

Davis, Ellen and Davis, Ellen H.

Abstract:

This study seeks to determine the correlation between changes in statewide land use planning policies and the resulting periods of high or low urban growth in the Willamette Valley, Oregon using automated classification methods and freely available satellite imagery. To protect its farms, forests and open spaces, Oregon became the...

Comparative analysis of Google Earth versus traditional paper maps in middle school earth science education

Creator:

Edstrom, Jillian Aasta

Abstract:

As GIS becomes more prominent in academic classrooms at all levels of education, the subject of geography and its related disciplines can be approached with a geospatial technology perspective, using new tools and lesson plans. The implementation of Google Earth in classrooms is just one example of this. Research was...

Navigation in Mobile Virtual Environments: The future of mobile devices is aLIVE!

Creator:

Carr, Justin

Abstract:

The dream of ubiquitous virtual reality (VR) tools has been a powerful presence in pop culture since before the turn of the century. But for all of its charm, VR applications are few and far between due to the high cost of hardware setups and cumbersome form factor. This project...

The Alexander polynomial

Creator:

Scherich, Nancy

Abstract:

The Alexander polynomial is a well understood classical knot invariant with interesting symmetry properties and recent applications in knot Floer homology. There are many different ways to compute the Alexander polynomial, some involving algebraic techniques and others more geometric or combinatorial approaches. This is an interesting example of how different...
