  • AI, Robot: A Rhetorical Analysis of Jeopardy! Matches Featuring IBM’s Artificial Intelligence

    Creator:
    Steele, Evan T.
    Abstract:
    The relationship between the public and new technologies has historically been a tumultuous one, with public perceptions ranging from excited rapid adoption to standoffish pessimism. In 2011, IBM tried to use competition as a means of showcasing a new technology to the public. This thesis is a work of rhetorical...

  • Distortion of Agent States for Improved Coordination

    Creator:
    Yates, Connor L
    Abstract:
    Many real world problems have partial solutions or intermediary steps which can lead toward solving the problem. When assembling robotic teams to solve these problems, we have intuition about which intermediary steps are more useful than others. We examine methods to identify and apply our designer intuition onto tightly coupled...

  • RNA Secondary Structure Prediction Using Neural Machine Translation

    Creator:
    Zhang, Luyao
    Abstract:
    RNA secondary structure prediction maps a RNA sequence to its secondary structure (set of AU, CG, and GU pairs). It is an important problem in computational biology be-cause such structures reveals crucial information about the RNAs function, which is useful in many applications ranging from noncoding RNA detection to folding...

  • Scoring Shape Characters of Monocot Leaves

    Creator:
    Zhou, Yao
    Abstract:
    Biologists regularly collect images of leaves for their further studies. One such biological study of leaves is scoring the phenomic characters of leaves for the construction of the Tree of Life (ToL), i.e. the evolutionary lineage of taxa in botany. There is an opportunity for computer vision to help biologists...

  • Counterfactual States for Atari Agents via Generative Deep Learning

    Creator:
    Olson, Matthew L.
    Abstract:
    Although deep reinforcement learning agents have produced impressive results in many domains, their decision making is difficult to explain to humans. To address this problem, past work has mainly focused on explaining why an action was chosen in a given state. A different type of explanation that is useful is...

  • States, side effects and multiple contexts in programming languages

    Creator:
    Chakrabarti, Sankar L.
    Abstract:
    In von Neumann Languages, side effects occur if one or more non local variables change value(s) during the execution of a procedure or a function. Side effects can occur only if the programming language provides a notion of memory (or state) where the effect will be stored. Side effects complicate...

  • Re-understanding Finite-State Representations of Recurrent Policy Networks

    Creator:
    Danesh, Mohamad H.
    Abstract:
    We propose an approach for understanding control policies represented as recurrent neural networks. Recent work has approached this problem by transforming such recurrent policy networks into finite-state machines (FSM) and then analyzing the equivalent minimized FSM. While this led to interesting insights, the minimization process can obscure a deeper understanding...

  • Investigating Latent State and Uncertainty Representations in Reinforcement Learning

    Creator:
    Koul, Anurag
    Abstract:
    Learning latent space representations of high-dimensional world states has been at the core of recent rapid growth in reinforcement learning(RL). At the same time, RL algo- rithms have suffered from ignored uncertainties in the predicted estimates of model-free or model-based methods. In our work, we investigate both of these aspects...

  • Domain-Independent Planning for Markov Decision Processes with Factored State and Action Spaces

    Creator:
    Raghavan, Aswin
    Abstract:
    Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) are the de-facto formalism for studying sequential decision making problems with uncertainty, ranging from classical problems such as inventory control and path planning, to more complex problems such as reservoir control under rainfall uncertainty and emergency response optimization for fire and medical emergencies. Most prior research...

  • Toward computer vision for understanding American football in video

    Creator:
    Hess, Robin W.
    Abstract:
    In this work, I examine the problem of understanding American football in video. In particular, I present several mid-level computer vision algorithms that each accomplish a different sub-task within a larger system for annotating, interpreting, and analyzing collections of American football video. The analysis of football video is useful in...

    Abstract:
    We designed a concise way to store and manipulate GIS coverage data in a geospatial database. Our geospatial database is implemented with PostgreSQL and PostGIS. PostgreSQL is an object-relational database, and PostGIS supports various geospatial operations as an SQL extension. In our Oregon Relational Spatial Topology (ORST) approach, topological relationships...
