  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Exploring the Effects of Voice Humanness and Canned Laughter on Robot Comedy Performance

    Creator:
    Bui, Timothy G.
    Abstract:
    With robots becoming increasingly commonplace in today’s society, we need to find ways to help robots to become better accepted. One common method used to gain acceptance and build rapport is through the use of humor. Currently, research in robot comedy exists, albeit it is fairly limited. Our goal with...

  • 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...

  • A Comparison and Analysis of Selected Holidays in Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and the United States

    Creator:
    Matyeva, Alima
    Abstract:
    Through comparison and analysis of selected holidays in countries with significantly different features (Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and the United States), this study aims to gauge the impact of holiday celebrations in influencing cultural values in those countries studied. K. Zygulski’s classification system for holidays was applied to divide the holidays of...
