  • PlanView & HViews : graphical user interfaces for viewing plan data

    Creator:
    Tabayoyon, Al
    Abstract:
    Visualizing and navigating through a plan is difficult without graphics. Two X applications, PlanView and HViews, are graphical user interfaces to an AI planner, OPIE, developed at the University of Oregon. In addition to a plan generator, OPIE includes a facility to generate operator abstractions which in turn are used...

  • Learning Topical Social Media Sensors for Twitter

    Creator:
    Iman, Zahra
    Abstract:
    Social media sources such as Twitter represent a massively distributed social sensor over diverse topics ranging from social and political events to entertainment and sports news. However, due to the overwhelming volume of content, it can be difficult to identify novel and significant content within a broad topic in a...

  • Species Distribution Modeling of Citizen Science Data as A Classification Problem with Class-Conditional Label Noise

    Creator:
    He, Liqiang
    Abstract:
    Species distribution models (SDM), which quantify the correlation between the distribution of a species and environmental factors, are increasingly used to map and monitor animal and plant distributions in the context of awareness of environmental change and its ecological consequence. For perfect data, this is a straightforward classification problem from...

  • Fine-Grained Object Recognition Under Limited Training Data

    Creator:
    Lam, Michael Q.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation addresses object recognition in challenging settings, where distinct object classes are visually very similar (e.g., species of birds and insects) and/or access to training examples of object classes is limited (e.g., due to the associated high costs of data annotation). In this dissertation, we present a variety of...

  • Machine Learning Techniques to Model Species Interactions and Distributions Under Imperfect Detection

    Creator:
    Seo, Eugene
    Abstract:
    Ecological domains seeking to understand the environment and the behavior of species have received little attention in machine learning (ML), despite the fact that environmental changes have a significant impact on humans as well as ecosystems. Some ecological problems can be formulated similarly to other common ML applications, but there...

  • Implementing remote laboratories for control engineering : foundations for distance learning

    Creator:
    Bohus, Carisa
    Abstract:
    Distance learning enables students to study effectively from remote locations. With televised lectures now commonplace, many disciplines can provide effective distance learning. While the lecture format serves many disciplines, it does not serve those that require laboratory work. Currently, there is little distance learning support for laboratory work. Second Best...

  • Personalizing machine learning systems with explanatory debugging

    Creator:
    Kulesza, Todd
    Abstract:
    How can end users efficiently influence the predictions that machine learning systems make on their behalf? Traditional systems rely on users to provide examples of how they want the learning system to behave, but this is not always practical for the user, nor efficient for the learning system. This dissertation...

  • Process communication through Proxy Pipe

    Creator:
    Chen, Shuping
    Abstract:
    Proxy Pipe is designed to be a bus in the transport layer of the communication between the two different processes. Its major function is to transfer bytes. When the client process tries to send a command to the server process, it will talk to a proxy as if it were...

  • 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...

  • Eliciting informal specifications from scientific modelers for evaluation and debugging

    Creator:
    Bogart, Christopher
    Abstract:
    Professional software engineers have an arsenal of techniques such as unit testing and assertions to check their specifications, but these techniques require tools, motivation, experience and training that programmers without professional software engineering training may not have. As a result, professionals in other fields, such as scientific modelers, face greater...
