  • Rhizome: Towards An Information Centric OS Shell

    Creator:
    Corbett, Kira
    Abstract:
    Rhizome is an information-centric model that uses different interaction methods than traditional desktop systems. I built Rhizome with the specific use case of sharing a photo to observe people using the Rhizome operating system (OS) shell and modern OS shells. The purpose of this is to measure the cognitive load...

  • Exploring Outlier Exposure Methods for Deep Margin-Based Anomaly Detection

    Creator:
    Noel, Thomas
    Abstract:
    In standard training regimes, one assumes that the classes presented to a model constitute all of the classes that the model will encounter when it is deployed. In real deployment scenarios, however, a model can sometimes encounter situations or objects that it has never seen. When these scenarios are safety-critical,...

  • Calibrating recurrent sliding window classifiers for sequential supervised learning

    Creator:
    Joshi, Saket Subhash
    Abstract:
    Sequential supervised learning problems involve assigning a class label to each item in a sequence. Examples include part-of-speech tagging and text-to-speech mapping. A very general-purpose strategy for solving such problems is to construct a recurrent sliding window (RSW) classifier, which maps some window of the input sequence plus some number...

  • The sum of its parts : investigating the component pieces of GenderMag

    Creator:
    Hill, Charles
    Abstract:
    Previous work introduced the GenderMag method, a software inspection method used to help software creators identify features within their software that are not gender-inclusive. Inclusiveness of software (gender or otherwise) matters because supporting diversity matters—it is well-known that the more diverse a group of problem-solvers, the higher the quality of...

  • Newcomers’ Barriers. . . Is That All? An Analysis of Mentors’ and Newcomers’ Barriers in OSS Projects

    Creator:
    Balali, Sogol
    Abstract:
    Newcomers’ seamless onboarding is important for open collaboration communi- ties, particularly those that leverage outsiders’ contributions to remain sustainable. Nevertheless, previous work shows that OSS newcomers often face several barriers to contribute, which lead them to lose motivation and even give up on contributing. A well-known way to help newcomers...

  • Semantic embodied navigation : developing agents that navigate from language and vision

    Creator:
    Krantz, Jacob
    Abstract:
    Autonomous robotic agents are on their way to becoming in-home personal assistants, construction assistants, and warehouse workers. The degree of autonomy of such systems is reflected by the manner in which we specify goals to them; the abstraction of low-level commands to high-level goals goes hand-in-hand with increased autonomy. In...

  • Grasshopper Infestation Prediction : An Application of Data Mining to Ecological Modeling

    Creator:
    Bunjongsat, Waranun
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents a case study of applying machine learning tools to build a predictive model of annual infestations of grasshoppers in Eastern Oregon. The purpose of the study was two-fold. First, we wanted to develop a predictive model. Second, we wanted to explore the capabilities of existing machine learning...

  • Knowledge Base Completion Leveraging Natural Language Data

    Creator:
    Shahbazi, Hamed
    Abstract:
    Information about named entities (real-world objects) is usually harvested from different sources and organized as a multiple relational directed graph in Knowledge Bases (KBs). KBs play essential roles in many NLP modules including question answering, fact-checking, search engines, etc. KBs are big but still incomplete: relational information among entities is...

  • Structured learning with latent variables : theory and algorithms

    Creator:
    Zhao, Kai
    Abstract:
    Most tasks in natural language processing (NLP) try to map structured input (e.g., sentence or word sequence) to some form of structured output (tag sequence, parse tree, semantic graph, translated/paraphrased/compressed sentence), a problem known as “structured prediction”. While various learning algorithms such as the perceptron, maximum entropy, and expectation-maximization have...

  • Action Segmentation in Videos: Deep Models, Prediction Diffusion, and Deep-Temporal Augmentations

    Creator:
    Aziere, Nicolas
    Abstract:
    This paper addresses the high model complexity and overconfident frame labeling of state-of-the-art (SOTA) action segmenters. Their complexity is typically justified by the need to sequentially refine action segmentation through multiple stages of a deep architecture. However, this multistage refinement does not take into account uncertainty of frame labeling predicted...
