  • Computers and planning : a study of the computer simulation methodology for land use planning in Bendel State, Nigeria

    Creator:
    Obi, Gabriel Michael
    Abstract:
    In this work we propose a computer based approach by means of which the decision maker in Bendel State, Nigeria, can best be assisted in the formulation of policies related to land use. In Chapter I we briefly discuss the role of the computer in planning and state the problem....

  • 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...

  • Redesigning the Structure and Access Paths of Databases for Effective and Efficient Query Processing

    Creator:
    Ghadakchi, Vahid
    Abstract:
    Many database users are not familiar with formal query languages, the concept of schema, or the exact content of their database. Thus, it is challenging for these users to formulate their information needs over semi-structured and structured databases. To address this problem, researchers have proposed usable query interfaces over which...

  • Similarity inheritance : a model of inheritance for declarative visual programming languages

    Creator:
    Djang, Rebecca W. (Rebecca Walpole)
    Abstract:
    Declarative visual programming languages (VPLs), including spreadsheets, make up a large portion of both research and commercial VPLs. Spreadsheets in particular enjoy a wide audience, including end users. Unfortunately, spreadsheets and most other declarative VPLs still suffer from some of the problems that have been solved in other languages, such...

  • Gender differences in robot teleoperation

    Creator:
    Showkat, Dilruba
    Abstract:
    Gender issues have recently received increased attention in human robot interaction (HRI). Because robots are becoming part of our homes and daily lives, it is important to understand how different groups of people use them. To the best of our knowledge, almost no research has been done that investigates gender...

  • Pixel- and Frame-level Video Labeling using Spatial and Temporal Convolutional Networks

    Creator:
    Lei, Peng
    Abstract:
    This dissertation addresses the problem of video labeling at both the frame and pixel levels using deep learning. For pixel-level video labeling, we have studied two problems: i) Spatiotemporal video segmentation and ii) Boundary detection and boundary flow estimation. For the problem of spatiotemporal video segmentation, we have developed recurrent...

  • Classifying and Synthesizing 3D Shapes of Objects using Deep Neural Networks

    Creator:
    Xu, Xu
    Abstract:
    Reasoning about 3D shape of objects is important for successful computer visionapplications in robotics, 3D rendering and modeling. In this thesis, we address twoproblems { First, given an image, we generate 3D shape of the foreground object thatappears in the image. Second, we predict the class label of the input...

  • 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...

  • On sequential/parallel matrix array languages

    Creator:
    Wang, Patrick Shen-Pei
    Abstract:
    A new system called sequential/parallel matrix grammars for two-dimensional pattern processing is introduced and studied. Miscellaneous language operations such as union, catenation (row and column), Kleene's closure (row and column) and substitutions are investigated. The equivalence of sequential/parallel matrix languages and finite-turn repetitive checking automata is established. Hierarchies for both...
