  • A Comparative Study of Non-Normal Distributions in Continuous Dropout

    Creator:
    Guyer, Alexander D.
    Abstract:
    Recent studies have shown that novel continuous dropout methods can be viewed as a Bayesian interpretation of model parameters, though most such studies have shown results using normal distributions. As the posterior distributions over neural network nodes and parameters are intractable, given that they are a result of artificial construction...

  • An implementation of a parallel processing package in LISP

    Creator:
    Harney, Donald William
    Abstract:
    The concept of a process is often used in connection with operations of parts of a computer system. This thesis discusses processes in terms of their use as representations of a physical object or system. Five primitives are introduced as operators for allowing processes to be run in a piecemeal...

  • A C source code browsing system

    Creator:
    Steinkamp, James M.
    Abstract:
    A project is described wherein a source code browser was implemented based upon tasks performed by software engineers looking for source code modules with only UNIX utilities. These tasks were discovered by observing the actions of software engineers looking for code modules in a library, The success of the implementation...

  • Al-Khorezmi : an intelligent algebra tutoring system

    Creator:
    Bayley, Garland J.
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents our investigation of the problem of creating an intelligent tutor for solving algebra word problems that employs effective pedagogy. Among our major concerns are the problems of sufficient knowledge and proper knowledge organization. From student protocols and test papers, we derived sets of general purpose strategic rules...

  • Effectiveness of index size reduction techniques

    Creator:
    Jacobson, Bryan L.
    Abstract:
    Index size savings from three techniques are measured. The three techniques are: 1) eliminating common, low information words found in a "stop list" (such as: of, the, at, etc.), 2) truncating terms by eliminating word stems (such as: -s, -ed, -ing, etc.), and 3) simple data compression. Savings are measured...

  • QCRITIC : a rule-based design critic for bipolar analog circuits

    Creator:
    Bergquist, Sue
    Abstract:
    QCritic is a rule-based critic for analog bipolar circuits. It functions as a post-processor for the SPICE simulator, making use of netlist, current, and voltage data. The program was written in OPS83, and demon­strates good run-time performance on a VAX 11/780. At present, the system contains rules for analyzing circuits...

  • Experdite : a model based expert diagnostic system using a high level test description language

    Creator:
    Tilp, Philip
    Abstract:
    To be competitive in the development and production of complex electronic systems, a company must constantly scrutinize its manufacturing processes to find ways to reduce costs and increase productivity. One of the more costly problems is the inability to troubleshoot and repair faulty circuit boards on the spot. Rather, they...

  • Personalized information management systems with tutorial capabilities

    Creator:
    Oman, Paul W.
    Abstract:
    Technological advances of the last three decades have caused an enormous increase in the amount of published and unpublished information generated by our society. This inflation has created the need for improved information management systems. Existing systems are inadequate primarily because they are discipline-oriented and lack the flexibility that is...

  • Clustering by density - an artificial intelligence approach to the clustering problem

    Creator:
    Poon, Chi Sing
    Abstract:
    In analyses of multivariate data, a classification of the data into related groups is frequently desired. This is generally referred to as the clustering problem. It has been studied in detail and many clustering algorithms exist. Most of these algorithms, however, require experi­menting with the actual data before satisfactory results...
