  • Applications of Conditional Topic Models to Species Distribution Prediction

    Creator:
    Wilkins, Paul Christopher
    Abstract:
    The topic of species distribution modelling has been on of increasing interest in recent years. As climate change is becoming of even more interest to researchers, more tools are needed to better analyze and predict various climate change scenarios. One particular area of interest is that of species distribution modeling....

  • Algorithms for string matching with applications in molecular biology

    Creator:
    Holloway, James Lee
    Abstract:
    As the volume of genetic sequence data increases due to improved sequencing techniques and increased interest, the computational tools available to analyze the data are becoming inadequate. This thesis seeks to improve a few of the computational methods available to access and analyze data in the genetic sequence databases. The...

  • A recurrent neural network implementation using the graphics processing unit

    Creator:
    Moore, Christopher
    Abstract:
    We took the back-propagation algorithms of Werbos for recurrent and feed-forward neural networks and implemented them on machines with graphics processing units (GPU). The parallelism of these units gave our implementations a 10 to 100 fold increase in speed. For nets with less than 20 neurons the machine performed faster...

  • Trip Poll: Plan before you ride

    Creator:
    Baisetti, Rama Krishna
    Abstract:
    People like going on trips with friends and tend to plan their trips well in advance to have the best possible experience of a destination and get the most out of the places they visit and/or the activities they plan to partake in. Right now, the Internet provides a wealth...

  • Computers and planning : a study of the computer simulation methodology for land use planning in Bendel State, Nigeria

    Creator:
    Obi, Gabriel Michael
    Abstract:
    In this work we propose a computer based approach by means of which the decision maker in Bendel State, Nigeria, can best be assisted in the formulation of policies related to land use. In Chapter I we briefly discuss the role of the computer in planning and state the problem....

  • Helping end-user programmers find and fix performance problems in visual code

    Creator:
    Chambers, Chris
    Abstract:
    End-user programmers often struggle to create programs that run quickly and effectively, which can be a major deterrent in completing their tasks as desired. Current research has primarily focused on catching user mistakes, such as errors or misused formulas. However, end users deal with issues other than just correctness. In...

  • 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...

  • A Study on the Effect of Non-Traditional Demographic Populations in an Undergraduate Computer Science Course

    Creator:
    Kawell, Christopher L.
    Abstract:
    There is a significant amount of research analyzing the effect of race, gender, and other common demographical data on student interest and performance in computer science. However, there is relatively little research concerning less common demographic populations, such as introverts, artistic students, and visual learners. This study investigates if these...

  • The InclusiveMag Method: A Start Towards More Inclusive Software for Diverse Populations

    Creator:
    Mendez, Christopher
    Abstract:
    How can software practitioners assess whether their software supports diverse users? Although there are empirical processes that can be used to find “inclusivity bugs” piecemeal, what is often needed is a systematic inspection method to assess software’s support for diverse populations. To help fill this gap, this thesis introduces InclusiveMag,...

  • Dimension checking tools for spreadsheets

    Creator:
    Chambers, Chris (Christopher Willie)
    Abstract:
    We present the evolution of a reasoning system for inferring dimension information in spreadsheets. The three papers included in this thesis show how the initial system can be used to check the consistency of spreadsheet formulas and thus is able to detect errors in spreadsheets, and the evolution to a...
