  • A domain-specific embedded language for probabilistic programming

    Creator:
    Kollmansberger, Steven
    Abstract:
    Functional programming is concerned with referential transparency, that is, given a certain function and its parameter, that the result will always be the same. However, it seems that this is violated in applications involving uncertainty, such as rolling a dice. This thesis defines the background of probabilistic programming and domain-specific...

  • Believable automotive flocking model

    Creator:
    McGregor, Jessica L.
    Abstract:
    The high cost of manually producing background characters creates a demand for a way to automatically generate plausible behaviors. These background extras need to behave in a manner that is believable such that they do not distract the focus of the audience from the primary action occurring in the scene....

  • Information space mapping with adaptive multiplicatively weighted Voronoi diagrams

    Creator:
    Trubin, Stanislav I.
    Abstract:
    Traditional application of Voronoi diagrams for space partitioning creates Voronoi regions, with areas determined by the generators’ relative locations and weights. Especially in the area of information space (re)construction, however, there is a need for inverse solutions; i.e., finding weights that result in regions with predefined areas. In this thesis,...

  • Structured gradient boosting

    Creator:
    Parker, Charles (Charles Lincoln)
    Abstract:
    The goal of many machine learning problems can be formalized as the creation of a function that can properly classify an input vector, given a set of examples of that function. While this formalism has produced a number of success stories, there are notable situations in which it fails. One...

  • Visualization and design systems for road infrastructure

    Creator:
    Esch, Gregory
    Abstract:
    Transportation infrastructure provides a vital service for the functionality of a city. The efficient design of road networks poses an interesting topic in computer science for digital content developers. For civil engineers, the visualization of analysis results on infrastructure both efficiently and intuitively is crucial. The following contributions are made...

  • How well do professional developers test with code coverage visualizations? : an empirical study

    Creator:
    Lawrance, Joseph A.
    Abstract:
    Professional software developers do not test code adequately, even though testing tools are widely available. Until developers realize the deficiencies in their tests, inadequate testing of software seems likely to remain a major problem. To support developers writing tests, industry and researchers have proposed systems that visualize “testedness” for end-user...

  • From ALPHA to imperative code : a transformational compiler for an array based functional language

    Creator:
    Wilde, Doran K.
    Abstract:
    Practical parallel programming demands that the details of distributing data to processors and inter- processor communication be managed by the compiler. These tasks quickly become too di cult for a programmer to do by hand for all but the simplest parallel programs. Yet, many parallel languages still require the programmer...

  • Learning cost-sensitive diagnostic policies from data

    Creator:
    Zubek, Valentina Bayer
    Abstract:
    In its simplest form, the process of diagnosis is a decision-making process in which the diagnostician performs a sequence of tests culminating in a diagnostic decision. For example, a physician might perform a series of simple measurements (body tem- perature, weight, etc.) and laboratory measurements (white blood count, CT scan,...

  • Active learning with committees : an approach to efficient learning in text categorization using linear threshold algorithms

    Creator:
    Liere, Ray
    Abstract:
    We developed and investigated machine learning methods that require minimal preprocessing of the input data, use few training examples, run fast, and still obtain high levels of accuracy. Most approaches to designing machine learning programs are based on the supervised learning paradigm – training examples are chosen randomly and given...

    Creator:
    Balla, Radha-Krishna
    Abstract:
    We consider the problem of tactical assault planning in real-time strategy games where a team of friendly agents must launch an assault on an enemy. This problem offers many challenges including a highly dynamic and uncertain environment, multiple agents, durative actions, numeric attributes, and different optimization objectives. While the dynamics...
