  • Towards Narrative Understanding with Deep Neural Networks and Hidden Markov Models

    Creator:
    Orr, J. Walker
    Abstract:
    Narratives are central to communication and the human experience. For a computer system to understand a narrative, it must be able to identify the key facts or plot elements that describe what happened or how the world has changed. These element are called events;establishing a document’s events and the relationships...

  • LacEDAemon : a programming environment for the multiparadigm language leda

    Creator:
    Pandey, Rajeev K.
    Abstract:
    Multiparadigm programming languages are a recent development in the realm of programming languages. A multiparadigm programming language allows the use of multiple, differing programming paradigms without departing from a single, unified linguistic framework. Multiparadigm programming languages are claimed to have benefits to both pedagogy and complex application creation. The beneficial...

  • Algorithms for massive biological datasets

    Creator:
    Bryant, Douglas W. (Douglas Wesley)
    Abstract:
    Within the past several years the technology of high-throughput sequencing has transformed the study of biology by offering unprecedented access to life's fundamental building block, DNA. With this transformation's potential a host of brand-new challenges have emerged, many of which lend themselves to being solved through computational methods. From de...

  • An ensemble method for macrosoma prediction

    Creator:
    Qin, Lu
    Abstract:
    Macrosomia is a medical term describing a new baby born with an excessive birth weight (greater than 4000g). Fetal macrosomia may lead to both pregnancy complications, and increased risk of mother's and baby's health problems after birth. But the potential complications may be mitigated by a cesarean delivery. As such,...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Interactive visualization of diversity in multivariate data sets unified across fields of study

    Creator:
    Pham, Tuan N. T.
    Abstract:
    The study of the diversity of multivariate objects shares common characteristics across disciplines, including ecology and organizational management. Nevertheless, experts in these two disciplines have adopted somewhat separate diversity concepts and analysis techniques, limiting the ability of potentially sharing and cross comparing these concerns. Moreover, while complex diversity data may...

  • 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...

  • Information foraging in debugging

    Creator:
    Lawrance, Joseph A.
    Abstract:
    Programmers spend a substantial fraction of their debugging time by navigating through source code, yet little is known about how programmers navigate. With the continuing growth in size and complexity of software, this fraction of time is likely to increase, which presents challenges to those seeking both to understand and...

  • Generalizing abstractions in form-based visual programming languages : from direct manipulation to static representation

    Creator:
    Yang, Sherry
    Abstract:
    We believe concreteness, direct manipulation and responsiveness in a visual programming language increase its usefulness. However, these characteristics present a challenge in generalizing programs for reuse, especially when concrete examples are used as one way of achieving concreteness. In this thesis, we present a technique to solve this problem by...
