  • 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...

  • An interactive workbench for sound experimentors

    Creator:
    Boone, Jeff
    Abstract:
    This project is an interactive environment which allows the user to explore various sound generation techniques. The three methods of sound generation used are (1) FM synthesis, (2) Additive synthesis, and (3) Karplus/Strong synthesis of plucked strings. The project also provides the capability to display the generated sound waveforms and...

  • G, a language based on demand-driven stream evaluations

    Creator:
    Placer, John R.
    Abstract:
    A programming paradigm can be defined as a model or an approach employed in solving a problem. The results of the research described in this document demonstrate that it is possible to unite several different programming paradigms into a single linguistic framework. The imperative, procedural, applicative, lambda-free, relational, logic and...

  • New Directions in Search-based Structured Prediction: Multi-Task Learning and Integration of Deep Models

    Creator:
    Ma, Chao
    Abstract:
    This thesis studies the problem of structured prediction (SP), where the agent needs to predict a structured output for a given structured input (e.g., Part-of-Speech tagging sequence for an input sentence). Many important applications including machine translation in natural language processing (NLP) and image interpretation in computer vision can be...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Learning Based Anomaly Detection for Industrial Arm Applications

    Creator:
    Narayanan, Vedanth
    Abstract:
    Smart Manufacturing (SM) is envisioned to make manufacturing processes more efficient through automation and integration of networked information systems. Robotic arms are integral to this vision. However the benefits of SM, enabled by automation and networking, also come with cyber risks. In this work, we propose an anomaly detection framework...

  • 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...

  • Distributed OpenCL : a platform for distributed, heterogeneous computing for domain scientists

    Creator:
    Dillon, William H.
    Abstract:
    It is possible to purchase, for as little as $10,000, a cluster of computers with the capability to rival the supercomputers of only a few years ago. Now, users that have little to no experience developing distributed applications or managing a cluster are in a position to do so. To...
