  • Transformers for representing microbiome data: an empirical evaluation

    Creator:
    Varma, Rohan
    Abstract:
    As the link between human microbiomes and health has become more established, the interest in applying statistical approaches to microbiome data to understand the mechanisms behind these links has grown. However, microbiome data is often of unmanageable size, and consequently, producing quality lower dimensional representations of samples is a significant...

  • Position-Dependent Codon Usage Bias in the Human Transcriptome

    Creator:
    Subramanian, Kaavya
    Abstract:
    All life depends on the reliable translation of RNA to protein according to complex interactions between translation machinery and RNA sequence features. While ribosomal occupancy and codon frequencies vary across coding regions, well-established metrics for computing coding potential of RNA do not capture such positional dependence. Here, we investigate position-dependent...

  • Cortex: Open Source Core Financial Processor

    Creator:
    Paulsen, Loren
    Abstract:
    A financial processor is the most important component of a credit union‘s IT infrastructure. A database storing member demographic information, account balances, and transaction history, it performs financial calculations, such as interest, dividends, and maturities. It also provides a user interface, allowing tellers and financial service representatives to manage accounts...

  • Efficient P2P media dissemination with forward error correction

    Creator:
    Do, Phuoc
    Abstract:
    Media application on the internet has become more and more popular as the bandwidth of the network links increase. The bottleneck of the existing media systems is no longer the link bandwidth at user’s end, but the server’s ability to handle streaming requests. These existing streaming systems do not scale...

  • The Relationship between Attention and Rapport in Conversation with AAC Users

    Creator:
    Nguyen, Duy M.
    Abstract:
    Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices enable people who cannot speak to communicate with others. Unfortunately, they are tedious to use and are believed to lower the satisfaction of interacting with others. This thesis attempted to document the impact that AAC devices have on social interactions, in the hope of...

  • Design of a Process Independent Tool for the Creation of On-Chip Serial Test Interfaces

    Creator:
    Edmonds, Christopher D.
    Abstract:
    The push towards higher performing and more sensitive mixed signal circuitry has required the parallel development of increasingly more complex and sensitive test and calibration harnesses. Current off-chip methods of test and calibration may require higher pin counts or induce unwanted parasitic interference. In this thesis, the design of a...

  • Improving the accuracy and efficiency of bird song analysis with machine learning based event detection

    Creator:
    Mathew, Anju
    Abstract:
    Ornithology is an exciting field with novel research emerging everyday. Researchers in bioacoustics often spend hours within the wilderness recording bird calls to analyze later in their lab. The burden of sifting through hours of audio recordings from the field continues to remain a time-consuming and manual task, despite the...

  • Rhizome: Towards An Information Centric OS Shell

    Creator:
    Corbett, Kira
    Abstract:
    Rhizome is an information-centric model that uses different interaction methods than traditional desktop systems. I built Rhizome with the specific use case of sharing a photo to observe people using the Rhizome operating system (OS) shell and modern OS shells. The purpose of this is to measure the cognitive load...

  • Predicting music emotion with social media discourse

    Creator:
    Beery, Aidan J.
    Abstract:
    Predicting the average affect of a piece of music is a task which has been of recent interest in the field of music information retrieval. We investigate the use of sentiment analysis on online social media conversations to predict a song’s valence and arousal. Using four music emotion datasets -...

  • Real-time Speech Workload Estimation

    Creator:
    Fortune, Julian D.
    Abstract:
    Demanding task environments (e.g., supervising a remotely piloted aircraft) require performing tasks quickly and accurately; however, periods of low and high operator workload can decrease task performance. Intelligent modulation of the system’s demands and interaction modality in response to changes in operator workload state may increase performance by avoiding undesirable...
