  • Incorporating and Learning Behavior Constraints for Sequential Decision Making

    Creator:
    Pinto, Jervis
    Abstract:
    Writing a program that performs well in a complex environment is a challenging task. In such problems, a method of deterministic programming combined with reinforcement learning (RL) can be helpful. However, current systems either force developers to encode knowledge in very specific forms (e.g., state-action features), or assume advanced RL...

  • 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...

  • The applicability of a general relational database management system for developing an automated library system : a preliminary investigation

    Creator:
    Hackleman, Debbie
    Abstract:
    An automated library system should be capable of providing at least all of the information and capabilities of existing manual catalogs. In addition, an automated system must provide the capability of manipulating that information to produce varying types of reports and statistics. This paper briefly: - describes historical representations of...

  • New learning modes for sequential decision making

    Creator:
    Judah, Kshitij
    Abstract:
    This thesis considers the problem in which a teacher is interested in teaching action policies to computer agents for sequential decision making. The vast majority of policy learning algorithms o er teachers little flexibility in how policies are taught. In particular, one of two learning modes is typically considered: 1)...

  • Helping end-user programmers find and fix performance problems in visual code

    Creator:
    Chambers, Chris
    Abstract:
    End-user programmers often struggle to create programs that run quickly and effectively, which can be a major deterrent in completing their tasks as desired. Current research has primarily focused on catching user mistakes, such as errors or misused formulas. However, end users deal with issues other than just correctness. In...

  • A query facility for Allegro

    Creator:
    Goodemoot, Richard
    Abstract:
    Allegro is a network database management system being developed at Oregon State University. This project adds a user friendly query facility to the system. The user is presented with pictorial display of the network records and a query interface modeled on the Query-By-Example system. By request the user may be...

  • Knots : a measure of program complexity

    Creator:
    McAlister, Richard Earl
    Abstract:
    Most measures of program complexity gauge either textual or control flow attributes of a program. A recent addition to the field of complexity measures, the knot metric, is a function of both these attributes. A knot measurement reflects the degree of control-flow tangle in a program's listing. This thesis discusses...

  • An implementation of a reliable broadcast scheme for 802.11 using network coding

    Creator:
    Edgecombe, Richard
    Abstract:
    Forward Error Correction and retransmission are two approaches used to reliably broadcast data in a network with poor quality of service. Taking some assumptions, it has been suggested that a retransmission based reliable broadcasting scheme using network coding should in theory provide an increase in bandwidth efficiency by combining packets...

  • Libraries : an organizational tool for the X2 environment

    Creator:
    Wodtli, Richard B.
    Abstract:
    X2 [4] is a Smalltalk-like programming environment [1]. As it has grown in size and complexity the existing organizational tools have become inadequate for user and system needs. This project addresses this deficiency and some of its important consequences. The entities to be organized are those that are a fixed...
