  • 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...

    Rahman, Ridwana
    Abstract:
    When my mother’s mother sent her over to the new, western world, she sent her with a suitcase full of spices you couldn’t find at an American grocery store in the 90’s: tamarind and turmeric, coriander root and cumin. Ammu, my mother, had truly packed her entire life and everything...

  • Finite Element and Finite Difference Methods for Maxwell’s Equations in Metamaterials

    Creator:
    Stallcup, Isaac A.
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, we consider Maxwell's Equations and their numerical discretization using finite difference and finite element methods. We first describe Maxwell's equations in linear dielectrics and then present finite difference and finite element methods for this case. We then describe Maxwell's equations in linear metamaterials using the Lorentz and...

  • Playing by the Rules: A Formal Specification of BoGL’s Loops and Type System

    Creator:
    Grejuc, Alex
    Abstract:
    BoGL is a programming language created for the purpose of computer science education that is specific to the domain of board games. Although there is a language grammar and an existing implementation that is currently used by students, a complete and formal language standard does not yet exist. In the...

  • New Strategies to Develop Hidden Markov Models Combining KEGG and Pfam

    Creator:
    Gupta, Sonica
    Abstract:
    Profile Hidden Markov Models utilize the information stored in a multiple sequence alignment such as its residues and conserved regions to assign probabilities at each column. This indicates areas in the sequences where similar functionality is observed. These probability weights are then combined to assign a sequence score, which is...

  • Time-dependent shortest paths in treelike graphs

    Creator:
    Shirley, Morgan
    Abstract:
    We present a proof that the number of breakpoints in the arrival function between two terminals in graphs of treewidth ω is n^(O(log²ω) when the edge arrival functions are piecewise linear. This is an improvement on the bound of n^(Θ(log n))by Foschini, Hershberger, and Suri for graphs without any bound...

  • Recurrent Neural Networks for Robotic Control of a Human-Scale Bipedal Robot

    Creator:
    Siekmann, Jonah A.
    Abstract:
    Dynamic bipedal locomotion is among the most difficult and yet relevant problems in modern robotics. While a multitude of classical control methods for bipedal locomotion exist, they are often brittle or limited in capability. In recent years, work in applying reinforcement learning to robotics has lead to superior performance across...

  • Hearing Inequality: A Sonification of the Gender Disparity in Computer Science and Engineering

    Creator:
    Cohen, Elyse
    Abstract:
    Sonification, or the “technique of rendering sound in response to data and interactions” [1], is an alternative to visual graphs and has the potential to make data more interpretable and accessible. As a combination of the arts (music) and the sciences (data), sonification is an interdisciplinary tool for connecting people...

  • Towards an Algorithm for the Third Normal Form (3NF) Using Relational Algebra

    Creator:
    Sorbello, Priscilla
    Abstract:
    This algorithm presents the first steps towards a solution for novice database administrators that helps them transform a non-normalized relational database into a database in the third normal form. The algorithm uses relational algebra operations that apply principles from the third normal form. This provides the database administrator with an...
