  • Algorithms for massive biological datasets

    Creator:
    Bryant, Douglas W. (Douglas Wesley)
    Abstract:
    Within the past several years the technology of high-throughput sequencing has transformed the study of biology by offering unprecedented access to life's fundamental building block, DNA. With this transformation's potential a host of brand-new challenges have emerged, many of which lend themselves to being solved through computational methods. From de...

  • Pattern systems and methodologies for multiparadigm analysis and design

    Creator:
    Knutson, Charles D.
    Abstract:
    In this research, we have captured, in pattern form, key elements of programming and design in four programming paradigms (imperative, object-oriented, functional and logical) as well as multiparadigm programming. These pattern sets have formed a foundation upon which we were able to build a deeper understanding of multiparadigm programming and...

  • High-Dimensional Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback

    Creator:
    Curran, William
    Abstract:
    State-of-the-art personal robots need to perform complex manipulation tasks to be viable in complex scenarios. However, many of these robots, like the PR2, use manipulators with high degrees of freedom. High degrees of freedom are desirable from a functionality standpoint, but make the learning task more difficult by adding a...

  • Methods for cost-sensitive learning

    Creator:
    Margineantu, Dragos D.
    Abstract:
    Many approaches for achieving intelligent behavior of automated (computer) systems involve components that learn from past experience. This dissertation studies computational methods for learning from examples, for classification and for decision making, when the decisions have different non-zero costs associated with them. Many practical applications of learning algorithms, including transaction...

  • Personalizing machine learning systems with explanatory debugging

    Creator:
    Kulesza, Todd
    Abstract:
    How can end users efficiently influence the predictions that machine learning systems make on their behalf? Traditional systems rely on users to provide examples of how they want the learning system to behave, but this is not always practical for the user, nor efficient for the learning system. This dissertation...

  • Unidirectional error correcting/detecting codes

    Creator:
    Lin, Der Jei
    Abstract:
    An extensive theory of symmetric error control coding has been developed in the last few decades. The recently developed VLSI circuits, ROM, and RAM memories have given an impetus to the extension of error control coding to include asymmetric and unidirectional types of error control. The maximal numbers of unidirectional...

  • Design and analysis of hard real-time systems

    Creator:
    Zhu, Jiang
    Abstract:
    First, we study hard real-time scheduling problems where each task is defined by a four tuple (r, c, p, d): r being its release time, c computation time, p period, and d deadline. The question is whether all tasks can meet their deadlines on one processor. If not, how many...

  • Using signaling to aid computer program comprehension

    Creator:
    Gellenbeck, Edward M.
    Abstract:
    Guidelines for using style to improve computer program comprehension have often been proposed without empirical testing. This thesis reports on the results of three controlled experiments that investigated ways program style may be used to aid comprehension of source code listings. Experiments 1 and 2 were conducted using advanced computer...

  • Comprehensive support for developing graphical highly interactive user interface systems

    Creator:
    Keh, Huan-chao
    Abstract:
    The general problem of application development of interactive GUI applications has been addressed by toolkits, libraries, user interface management systems, and more recently domain-specific application frameworks. However, the most sophisticated solution offered by frameworks still lacks a number of features which are addressed by this research: 1) limited functionality --...

  • Software composition with extended entity-relationship diagrams

    Creator:
    Muenchaisri, Pornsiri
    Abstract:
    I introduce a compositional approach to application software development. In this approach, an extended entity-relationship diagram (EERD), which represents the component types and the relationship types within an application domain, is used as a template of executable programs in that application domain. As we use structural active objects as the...
