  • High-performance data-parallel input/output

    Creator:
    Moore, Jason Andrew
    Abstract:
    Existing parallel file systems are proving inadequate in two important arenas: programmability and performance. Both of these inadequacies can largely be traced to the fact that nearly all parallel file systems evolved from Unix and rely on a Unix-oriented, single-stream, block-at-a-time approach to file I/O. This one-size-fits-all approach to parallel...

  • MARLA : a chess playing program

    Creator:
    Rood, Andrew Lloyd
    Abstract:
    MARLA is a collection of FORTRAN routines which implements the Shannon-type-chess program with alphabeta cutoffs occurring dynamically. Board positions are updated incrementally. Also involved in position analysis is a production system which models the human chess player's advice-taking, theme, and chess learning in a general sense. Interfacing these two sections,...

  • A Benchmarking Study of Unsupervised Anomaly Detection Algorithms

    Creator:
    Emmott, Andrew F.
    Abstract:
    It is common practice in the unsupervised anomaly detection literature to create experimental benchmarks by sampling from existing supervised learning datasets. We seek to improve this practice by identifying four dimensions important to real-world anomaly detection applications --- point difficulty, clusteredness of anomalies, relevance of features, and relative frequency of...

  • Mental Models of Mere Mortals with Explanations of Reinforcement Learning

    Creator:
    Anderson, Andrew A.
    Abstract:
    How should reinforcement learning (RL) agents explain themselves to humans not trained in AI? To gain insights into this question, we conducted a 124 participant, four-treatment experiment to compare participants’ mental models of an RL agent in the context of a simple Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game. The four treatments isolated...

  • New Strategies to Develop Hidden Markov Models Combining KEGG and Pfam

    Creator:
    Gupta, Sonica
    Abstract:
    Profile Hidden Markov Models utilize the information stored in a multiple sequence alignment such as its residues and conserved regions to assign probabilities at each column. This indicates areas in the sequences where similar functionality is observed. These probability weights are then combined to assign a sequence score, which is...

  • Learning classification rules by randomized iterative local search

    Creator:
    Chisholm, Michael (Michael Andrew), 1974-
    Abstract:
    Learning easily understandable decision rules from examples is one of the classic problems in machine learning. Most learning algorithms for this problem employ some variation of a greedy separate-and-conquer algorithm. In this paper, we describe a system called LERILS that learns highly accurate and comprehensible rules from examples using a...

  • Balanced codes

    Creator:
    Al-Bassam, Sulaiman
    Abstract:
    Balanced codes, in which each codeword contains equally many 1's and 0's, are useful in such applications as in optical transmission and optical recording. When balanced codes are used, the same number of 1's and 0's pass through the channel after the transmission of every word, so the channel is...

  • Automatic program generation for scientific computing

    Creator:
    Fu, Zhe
    Abstract:
    The code reuse problem is a common software engineering problem in scientific computing. As a prevailing programming language in many scientific fields, Fortran does not provide support to address this problem. One particular reason is that Fortran lacks the support for generic programming. By applying program-generation techniques, we developed two...

  • 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...

    Shetty, Sudarshanram
    Abstract:
    This study introduces a layered model for rendering human teeth. Human teeth exhibit complex light interaction due to their layered structure. While the lighting responses of teeth have been studied in the dental industry for the production of realistic looking dentures, to our knowledge this is the first study of...
