  • 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...

  • Topology independent transmission scheduling algorithms in mobile ad hoc networks

    Creator:
    Youn, Jong-Hoon
    Abstract:
    Due to the rapid growth of wireless technology, there has been a growing interest in the capabilities of ad hoc networks connecting mobile phones, PDAs and laptop computers. The distributed and self-configurable capabilities of ad hoc networks make them very attractive for some applications such as tactical communication for military,...

  • The Implementation of Passive RFID Tags to Sample Volumetric Water Content for an Autonomous Irrigation System

    Creator:
    Guo, Matthew D.
    Abstract:
    The agricultural industry in the Western United States continues to possess issues of overwatering, accounting for over 80% of consumed water per year in the country. While technologies such as satellite imaging and sensor networks have slowly improved irrigation Best Management Practices to reduce superfluous water consumption, limitations associated with...

  • The Development of Computational Methods for Studying Plant-Pathogen Interactions

    Creator:
    Pankow, Rebecca C.
    Abstract:
    Modern technology has enabled the advancement of biological research through the use of powerful machines and computers as well as innovative computer programs. Advances in sequencing technology and software enable us to make de novo assemblies of organism genomes, and the development of specialized computer programs can automate routine but...

  • Tensor Field Design and Analysis for Applications in Computer Graphics and Scientific Visualization

    Creator:
    Palacios, Jonathan
    Abstract:
    Many applications in computer graphics and geometry processing rely on the ability to locally orient 2D and 3D entities on a surface, or inside a volume, such as the sinusoidal kernels in Gabor noise, the color and geometry textures in pattern synthesis, and the finite elements in remeshing. In these...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • SPEAR : Superlative Plagiarism Explorer And Reporter

    Creator:
    Pavithran, Siddharth
    Abstract:
    In this project, we have investigated three different techniques for plagiarism detection and have compared its effectiveness against that of an unaided human grader. The techniques investigated were word frequency analysis, sentence inclusion analysis and sub string inclusion analysis. We found that a combination of word frequency analysis and sub...

  • Source-Routed Multicast Schemes for Large-Scale Cloud Data Center Networks

    Creator:
    Alqahtani, Jarallah Ali m
    Abstract:
    Data centers (DCs) have been witnessing unprecedented growth in size, number and complexity in recent years. They consist of tens of thousands of servers interconnected by fast network switches, hosting and enabling numerous applications with various traffic characteristics and requirements. As a result, DC networks have been presented with several...

  • Similarity-based real-time concurrency control protocols

    Creator:
    Lai, Chih
    Abstract:
    Serializability is unnecessarily strict for real-time systems because most transactions in such systems occur periodically and changes among data values over a few consecutive periods are often insignificant. Hence, data values produced within a short interval can be treated as if they are "similar" and interchangeable. This notion of similarity...
