  • 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...

  • Variant Annotation

    Creator:
    He, Jun
    Abstract:
    With the development of technologies in genome sequencing and variant detection, a huge number of variants are detected. To further analyze the variants, it requires an efficient tool to annotate the functional effect of variants. This project managed to develop an efficient program to annotate the functional effect of variants...

  • Network monitoring applications, design and implementation

    Creator:
    Jones, Cory A.
    Abstract:
    The goal of this project is to develop and implement an application which will facilitate the management and testing of computer communication networks. Such an application is commonly known as a network monitor or a network packet sniffer. In addition to the main goal of developing an application, there are...

  • 3D Voronoi Subdivision for Simulating Destructible and Granular Materials

    Creator:
    Clothier, Matthew M.
    Abstract:
    In many traditional computer graphics applications, rendered scenes typically utilize 3D meshes to represent objects within an environment. As the demand to further improve the realism of graphics applications increases, such as for movies and games, it is becoming more important to represent the inner volumes of object meshes. In...

  • Detection and Segmentation of Bird Song in Noisy Environments

    Creator:
    Neal, Lawrence W.
    Abstract:
    Recent work in machine learning concerns the detection and identification of bird species from audio recordings of their vocalizations. Such analysis can yield valuable ecological information concerning the activity and distribution of species in the wild. Current species-identification methods require individual syllables of bird audio as input, but field-collected audio...

  • Multiple Instance Learning for Histopathological Image Classification

    Creator:
    Lai, Phung
    Abstract:
    In histopathological image analysis, image classification as well as pattern detection play a crucial role in the diagnosis and treatment process since the goal is to not only differentiate cancer types but also identify cancerous manifestations. Fully supervised learning strategies tend to address these problems using manually annotated cancerous regions...

  • 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...

  • Understanding and supporting end-user debugging strategies

    Creator:
    Grigoreanu, Valentina I.
    Abstract:
    End users' programs are fraught with errors, costing companies millions of dollars. One reason may be that researchers and tool designers have not yet focused on end-user debugging strategies. To investigate this possibility, this dissertation presents eight empirical studies and a new strategy-based end-user debugging tool for Excel, called StratCel....

  • Information Foraging Theory as a Unifying Foundation for Software Engineering Research : Connecting the Dots

    Creator:
    Piorkowski, David
    Abstract:
    Empirical studies have shown that programmers spend up to one-third of their time navigating through code during debugging. Although researchers have conducted empirical studies to understand programmers’ navigation difficulties and developed tools to address those difficulties, the resulting findings tend to be loosely connected to each other. To address this...

  • Interactive fault localization techniques to empower the debugging efforts of end-user programmers

    Creator:
    Ruthruff, Joseph Ronald
    Abstract:
    End users develop more software than any other group of programmers, using software authoring devices such as e-mail filtering editors, by-demonstration macro builders, and spreadsheet environments. Despite this, there has been only a little research on finding ways to help these programmers with the dependability of the software they create....
