  • Interactive visualization of diversity in multivariate data sets unified across fields of study

    Creator:
    Pham, Tuan N. T.
    Abstract:
    The study of the diversity of multivariate objects shares common characteristics across disciplines, including ecology and organizational management. Nevertheless, experts in these two disciplines have adopted somewhat separate diversity concepts and analysis techniques, limiting the ability of potentially sharing and cross comparing these concerns. Moreover, while complex diversity data may...

  • Adding context and value to online security ratings by combining heuristics with community based ratings

    Creator:
    Ayyavu, Prashanth
    Abstract:
    The Internet is growing rapidly in terms of websites, users and uses. People use the Internet for reference, shopping, social networking, communications, business and much more. Though the Internet is useful, there are many risks associated with its use, like malicious websites, identity theft, hateful content and fraudulent practices. Online...

  • Designing and understanding information retrieval systems using collaborative filtering in an academic library environment

    Creator:
    Jung, Seikyung
    Abstract:
    Accessing information on the Web has become ingrained into our daily lives, and we seek information from many different sources, including conference and journal publications, personal web pages, and others. Increasingly, web-based information retrieval systems such as web-based search engines, library on-line catalog systems, and subscription-based federated search systems are...

  • Applying machine learning for prediction, recommendation, and integration

    Creator:
    Bao, Xinlong
    Abstract:
    This dissertation explores the idea of applying machine learning technologies to help computer users find information and better organize electronic resources, by presenting the research work conducted in the following three applications: FolderPredictor, Stacking Recommendation Engines, and Integrating Learning and Reasoning. FolderPredictor is an intelligent desktop software tool that helps...

  • Evaluating the Impact of Live Programming on Collaborative Software Development

    Creator:
    Ghorashi, Seyed Soroush
    Abstract:
    Collaboration is tricky, but often beneficial in the context of numerous software related activities, from learning core concepts, to the design and implementation of large software products. The growth of online classes, from small structured seminars to massive open online courses (MOOCs), and the isolation and impoverished learning experience some...

  • Hybrid visualization of asymmetric tensor fields : glyphs and hyperstreamlines

    Creator:
    Palke, Darrel
    Abstract:
    Asymmetric tensor fields are useful for understanding fluid flow and solid deformation. They present new challenges, however, for traditional tensor field visualization techniques such as hyperstreamline placement and glyph packing. This is because the physical behavior of tensors inside real domains where eigenvalues are real is fundamentally different from the...

  • Robust and Efficient Classification of Videos in the Wild

    Creator:
    Mahasseni, Behrooz
    Abstract:
    Recognizing human actions in videos is a long-standing problem in computer vision with a wide range of applications including video surveillance, content retrieval, and sports analysis. This thesis focuses on addressing efficiency and robustness of video classification in unconstrained real-world settings. The thesis work can be broadly divided into four...

  • 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...

  • Empirical studies of a spreadsheet maintenance experiment

    Creator:
    Krishna, Vijay B.
    Abstract:
    Spreadsheet language programs, which include commercial spreadsheets, are among the most common form of software in use today. Unlike more "traditional" forms of software however, spreadsheet language programs are created and maintained by end-users with little or no programming experience. As a result, a high percentage of these programs contain...

  • Fluid flow on interacting, deformable surfaces

    Creator:
    Neill, Patrick
    Abstract:
    Fluid simulation is an interesting research problem with a wide range of applications including mechanical engineering, special effects in movies and games, and scientific simulation. Due to the complex nature of typical fluid flow equations, there are circumstances where a full volumetric fluid simulation may not be necessary to generate...
