  • The automated inference of tree system

    Creator:
    Levine, Barry Arthur
    Abstract:
    Tree systems are used in syntactic pattern recognition for describing two-dimensional patterns. We extend results on tree automata with the introduction of the subtree-invariant equivalence relation R. R relates two trees when the appearance of one implies the appearance of the other in similar trees. A new state minimizing algorithm...

  • On-line deadlock detection in distributed computer systems

    Creator:
    Edemenang, Effiong James Akpan
    Abstract:
    A new algorithm, the Horizontal and Vertical Algorithm, for on-line detection of deadlocks in distributed computer systems, is presented. Two protocols for implementing the algorithm are given. The first protocol, the centralized protocol, is based on the assumption that one site in the network acts as the controller for global...

  • Two Sides of a Coin: Adversarial-Based Image Privacy and Defending Against Adversarial Perturbations for Robust CNNs

    Creator:
    Rajabi, Arezoo
    Abstract:
    Emergence of highly accurate Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) with the capability to process large datasets, has led to their popularity in many applications, including safety/security-sensitive (e.g. disease recognition, self-driving cars). Despite the high accuracy of convolutional neural networks, they have been found to be susceptible to adversarial noise added to...

  • 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...

  • Optimization of machine allocation in RingLeader

    Creator:
    King, Jonathan B.
    Abstract:
    Many different types of distributed batch scheduling systems have been developed in the last decade to take advantage of the decentralization of computers and the enormous investments that many companies and educational institutions have in desktop workstations. Based on the premise that the majority of desktop workstations are significantly underutilized,...

  • Advances in Simultaneous Translation

    Creator:
    Zheng, Renjie
    Abstract:
    Simultaneous translation, which translates concurrently with the source language speech, is widely used in many scenarios including multilateral organizations. However, it is well known to be one of the most challenging tasks for humans due to the simultaneous perception and production in two languages. On the other hand, simultaneous translation...

  • Towards Direct Simultaneous Speech Translation

    Creator:
    Chen, Junkun
    Abstract:
    Simultaneous speech translation (SimulST) is widely useful in many cross-lingual communication scenarios, including multinational conferences and international traveling. Since text-based simultaneous machine translation (SimulMT) has achieved great success in recent years. The conventional cascaded approach for SimulST uses a pipeline of streaming ASR followed by simultaneous MT but suffers from...

  • Species Distribution Modeling of Citizen Science Data as A Classification Problem with Class-Conditional Label Noise

    Creator:
    He, Liqiang
    Abstract:
    Species distribution models (SDM), which quantify the correlation between the distribution of a species and environmental factors, are increasingly used to map and monitor animal and plant distributions in the context of awareness of environmental change and its ecological consequence. For perfect data, this is a straightforward classification problem from...

  • On Avoiding Power-Seeking by Artificial Intelligence

    Creator:
    Turner, Alexander M.
    Abstract:
    We do not know how to align a very intelligent AI agent's behavior with human interests. I investigate whether—absent a full solution to this AI alignment problem—we can build smart {\ai} agents which have limited impact on the world, and which do not autonomously seek power. In this thesis, I...

  • Solving Physical Reasoning Tasks in Simulated Environments

    Creator:
    Shureih, Zeyad
    Abstract:
    We take for granted how quickly we, as humans, form mental models of the world around us. By the time we are toddlers, we have an observable intuition around the physical rules of the world. Stacking blocks such that they don’t fall over becomes such a trivial task, that it...
