  • Evaluation functions in aerial image segmentation

    Creator:
    Langford, William T.
    Abstract:
    Remote sensing is the most practical way to acquire large amounts of land cover data for monitoring and understanding environmental change, so it is important to be able to map land cover from imagery. Maps defining land cover patches as polygons rather than pixels greatly improve processing efficiency in models...

  • Distortion of Agent States for Improved Coordination

    Creator:
    Yates, Connor L
    Abstract:
    Many real world problems have partial solutions or intermediary steps which can lead toward solving the problem. When assembling robotic teams to solve these problems, we have intuition about which intermediary steps are more useful than others. We examine methods to identify and apply our designer intuition onto tightly coupled...

  • States, side effects and multiple contexts in programming languages

    Creator:
    Chakrabarti, Sankar L.
    Abstract:
    In von Neumann Languages, side effects occur if one or more non local variables change value(s) during the execution of a procedure or a function. Side effects can occur only if the programming language provides a notion of memory (or state) where the effect will be stored. Side effects complicate...

  • An automated web crawl methodology to analyze the online privacy landscape

    Creator:
    Sarkar, Chandan
    Abstract:
    Protecting end-users privacy and building trust are the two most important factors needed to support the growth of ecommerce. The increased dependence on the Internet for a wide variety of daily transactions causes a corresponding loss in privacy for many users, as virtually all websites collect data from users directly...

  • 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...

  • Domain-Independent Planning for Markov Decision Processes with Factored State and Action Spaces

    Creator:
    Raghavan, Aswin
    Abstract:
    Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) are the de-facto formalism for studying sequential decision making problems with uncertainty, ranging from classical problems such as inventory control and path planning, to more complex problems such as reservoir control under rainfall uncertainty and emergency response optimization for fire and medical emergencies. Most prior research...

  • Re-understanding Finite-State Representations of Recurrent Policy Networks

    Creator:
    Danesh, Mohamad H.
    Abstract:
    We propose an approach for understanding control policies represented as recurrent neural networks. Recent work has approached this problem by transforming such recurrent policy networks into finite-state machines (FSM) and then analyzing the equivalent minimized FSM. While this led to interesting insights, the minimization process can obscure a deeper understanding...

  • The ChildsPlay Approach: Evaluating an Experimental Approach for Teaching Introductory CS at University

    Creator:
    Nelson, Aiden J.
    Abstract:
    University students first learning about computer science (CS) can be intimidated and frustrated by programming. In addition, the general-purpose programming languages chosen for introducing students to programming contain several features that have the potential to overwhelm and distract them from focused curriculum topics, which can lead to reduced retention of...

  • RNA Secondary Structure Prediction Using Neural Machine Translation

    Creator:
    Zhang, Luyao
    Abstract:
    RNA secondary structure prediction maps a RNA sequence to its secondary structure (set of AU, CG, and GU pairs). It is an important problem in computational biology be-cause such structures reveals crucial information about the RNAs function, which is useful in many applications ranging from noncoding RNA detection to folding...
