  • 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...

  • High-Dimensional Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback

    Creator:
    Curran, William
    Abstract:
    State-of-the-art personal robots need to perform complex manipulation tasks to be viable in complex scenarios. However, many of these robots, like the PR2, use manipulators with high degrees of freedom. High degrees of freedom are desirable from a functionality standpoint, but make the learning task more difficult by adding a...

  • Pattern systems and methodologies for multiparadigm analysis and design

    Creator:
    Knutson, Charles D.
    Abstract:
    In this research, we have captured, in pattern form, key elements of programming and design in four programming paradigms (imperative, object-oriented, functional and logical) as well as multiparadigm programming. These pattern sets have formed a foundation upon which we were able to build a deeper understanding of multiparadigm programming and...

  • MARLA : a chess playing program

    Creator:
    Rood, Andrew Lloyd
    Abstract:
    MARLA is a collection of FORTRAN routines which implements the Shannon-type-chess program with alphabeta cutoffs occurring dynamically. Board positions are updated incrementally. Also involved in position analysis is a production system which models the human chess player's advice-taking, theme, and chess learning in a general sense. Interfacing these two sections,...

  • Robotic path-planning through dynamic maps

    Creator:
    Bowie, Cameron Scott
    Abstract:
    Robotic global navigation is often based on the assumption that the world is static. It assumes that obstacles present in maps will be there later and new obstacles will be dealt with by a local planning algorithm. When robots interact in an environment inhabited by people, this assumption does not...

  • Sensorless Localization for Robots and Wheelchairs

    Creator:
    Subramanian, Ashwin
    Abstract:
    Despite an increase in the number of people who rely on manual wheelchairs, there are still substantial economic barriers to affordable and accessible localization systems. As a result, there is a pressing need to build a versatile yet low cost localization system for manual wheelchairs. Such systems allow users to...

  • 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...

  • On the Role of Spatial Clustering Algorithms in Building Species Distribution Models from Community Science Data

    Creator:
    Roth, Mark
    Abstract:
    This paper discusses opportunities for developments in spatial clustering methods to help leverage broad scale community science data for building species distribution models (SDMs). SDMs are critical tools that inform the science and policy needed to mitigate the impacts of climate change on biodiversity. Community science data span spatial and...

  • Benchmarking and Programming Practices for the Intel Xeon Phi Coprocessor

    Creator:
    Leslie, William
    Abstract:
    The Intel Xeon Phi is a relative newcomer to the scientific computing scene. In the recent years, GPUs have been used extensively for mathematical simulations. The Xeon Phi is Intel’s response to the use of these cards. Like the GPU, it is highly parallelizable but can be programmed like a...

  • 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...
