  • The ChildsPlay Approach: Evaluating an Experimental Approach for Teaching Introductory CS at University

    Creator:
    Nelson, Aiden J.
    Abstract:
    University students first learning about computer science (CS) can be intimidated and frustrated by programming. In addition, the general-purpose programming languages chosen for introducing students to programming contain several features that have the potential to overwhelm and distract them from focused curriculum topics, which can lead to reduced retention of...

  • Three-Dimensional Network-on-Chip Architectures for Cycle Accurate Full-System Simulator

    Creator:
    Agarwal, Akash
    Abstract:
    High Performance Computing can find ubiquitous applications in the industry. HPC-applications are specifically designed to take advantage of the parallel nature of the computing systems which is often enabled by Multi-core/Many-core architectures. With this advent of Multi-processors in the mainstream systems, inter-core communication has been one of the major challenges...

  • 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...

  • Comparative Look at Spectator Identification in Films and Video Games

    Creator:
    Reiner, Taylor
    Abstract:
    Often, characters of entertainment works, such as movies, books, or video games, display traits that people find relatable. In certain cases, a spectator of a work will develop such a strong psychological bond with a character that they identify with them. Identification with fictional characters is usually a subconscious act...

  • 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...

  • Corporate involvement in FOSS projects : an in-depth look at corporate contributions and implications for project governance

    Creator:
    Forrest, Darren J.
    Abstract:
    Free / Open Source Software developers come from a myriad of different backgrounds. While some contribute for personal reasons, many become involved because they receive compensation from corporations or foundations. The motivation for participating in a project can have dramatic impacts on how and what contribution an individual makes. These...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...
