  • Creating, Understanding and Applying Machine Learning Models of Multiple Species

    Creator:
    Griffioen, Arwen Twinkle E.
    Abstract:
    Many problems in ecology and conservation biology can be formulated and solved using machine learning algorithms for multi-label classification. This dissertation addresses three topics related to predicting the distributions of multiple species. It improves existing methods and proposes a new modeling paradigm to address the multi-species, multi-label problem. The first...

  • Factorization of Integers

    Creator:
    Simshaw, James
    Abstract:
    Factorization of integers is an important aspect of cryptography since it can be used as an attack against some of the common cryptographic methods being used. There are numerous methods in existence for factoring integers. Some of these are faster than others for general numbers, while others work best on...

  • Prediction of gene transcription start sites and initiation patterns from DNA sequence content

    Creator:
    Morton, Taj H.
    Abstract:
    The computational identification of gene Transcription Start Sites (TSSs) can provide insights into the regulation and function of genes without performing expensive experiments, particularly in organisms with incomplete annotations. High-resolution general-purpose TSS prediction remains a challenging problem, with little recent progress on the identification and differentiation of TSSs which are...

  • Explanations and Processes to Enable Humans to Assess AI with Respect to Manipulable Properties

    Creator:
    Dodge, Jonathan E.
    Abstract:
    Assessing AI systems is difficult. Humans rely on AI systems in increasing ways, both visible and invisible, meaning a variety of stakeholders need a variety of assessment tools (e.g., a professional auditor, a developer, and an end user all have different needs). We posit that it is possible to provide...

  • Studies to inform a visual language for authoring interactive exercise prescriptions

    Creator:
    Dodge, Jonathan E.
    Abstract:
    Communicating dynamic motion content, such as exercise, with a static medium, such as paper, is difficult. The technology exists for presenting 3D animated exercise content to patients; however, the tools for allowing exercise domain experts to effectively author the content do not exist. We conducted two formative studies with exercise...

  • Kalman Filter Tracking for an FSO Communication System based on Dynamic Beam Steering and Shaping

    Creator:
    Bouchard, Luc F.
    Abstract:
    We present a theoretical free-space optical (FSO) transmitter that utilizes a dynamically steered and shaped laser beam to communicate with a randomly moving receiver adorned with a retroreflector. The transmitter tracks the receiver's position by repeatedly scanning the field of view (FOV), measuring reflections from the retroreflector, and estimating the...

  • Complex patterns in gender HCI : a data mining study of factors leading to end-user debugging success for females and males

    Creator:
    Grigoreanu, Valentina I.
    Abstract:
    Most of the work so far in the subfield of Gender HCI has followed a theory-driven approach. Established theories, however, do not take into account specific issues that arise in end-user debugging. We suspected that there may be important information that we were overlooking. We therefore employed a methodology change:...

  • Update programming -- a safe approach to software maintenance

    Creator:
    Ren, Deling
    Abstract:
    Software maintenance accounts for a large portion of the software development cost, particularly the process of updating programs either to adapt for requirement change or to enhance design or efficiency. Currently, program updates are generally performed manually by programmers using text editors. This is an unreliable method because syntax and...

  • Machine Learning Methods for Computational Sustainability

    Creator:
    Liu, Liping
    Abstract:
    Maintaining the sustainability of the earth’s ecosystems has attracted much attention as these ecosystems are facing more and more pressure from human activities. Machine learning can play an important role in promoting sustainability as a large amount of data is being collected from ecosystems. There are at least three important...
