  • How to Render Mathematical Symbols in Java

    Creator:
    Sun, Yuemei
    Abstract:
    Current math software provides limited interactivity and dynamics when conveying math ideas. We are developing prototype Java toolkits to display math-embedded documents in a more dynamic and interactive way. The core task of current project is to create a Java implementation of a MathML (in which a math expression is...

  • A collaborative filtering algorithm and evaluation metric that accurately model the user experience

    Creator:
    McLaughlin, Matthew
    Abstract:
    "Collaborative filtering algorithms’ performances have been evaluated using a variety of metrics. These metrics, such as Mean Absolute Error and Precision, have often ignored recommendations for which they do not have data. Ignoring these recommendations has provided numbers which do not accurately represent the user experience. Qualitatively we have seen...

  • Contributions to a Java recommender system

    Creator:
    Wang, Yun
    Abstract:
    Identifying the most relevant items in an e-commerce site is becoming more and more difficult nowadays because of the heavy overload of information. A Java Recommender System that uses Collaborative Filtering techniques has been developed to reduce such information overload and even personalize the information to the individual’s preference. The...

  • Collaborative filtering with probability and collaborative filtering with privacy

    Creator:
    Yang, Min
    Abstract:
    "Collaborative filtering has seen considerable success in the areas regarding information overload and e-commerce, while the current developed systems are flawed in several respects. Two approaches, the distribution-based algorithm and the blurring profile solution, are proposed to address several outstanding issues. The main findings of this research include: • The...

  • Contributions to Collaborative Filtering Research

    Creator:
    Nong, Shuzhen
    Abstract:
    In this report, I first introduce three areas of interest to collaborative filtering researchers, namely: (a) how to solve the sparsity and scalability problems in recommendation systems; (b) how to rapidly develop and test collaborative filtering algorithms; and (c) how to apply collaborative filtering to unbounded numeric preference data. In...

  • Java implementation of a MathML rendering engine

    Creator:
    Dragunov, Anton N.
    Abstract:
    Current approaches to presentation of mathematics (on paper or in electronic format have usability drawbacks that make learning and appreciation of mathematics challenging and often frustrating. In a framework of a big research project of identifying new approaches to communicating mathematical ideas in a highly usable and effective manner, we...

  • 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...

  • Metacontent based techniques for the regression testing of component based software : a case study

    Creator:
    Chattopadhyay, Soumya
    Abstract:
    Component based software technologies are viewed as essential for creating the software systems of the future. However the use of externally provided components has serious drawbacks for a wide range of software engineering activities often because of a lack of information about the components. One such drawback involves validation of...

  • Interpretive evolution of the Wilderness Act : the implications of change

    Creator:
    Klein, Jonathan Winthrop
    Abstract:
    Compromises required for the passage of the Wilderness Act (1964) created inherent conflicts in the designation and administration of wilderness areas. Subsequent legislation helped to more firmly interpret and define the Act. Attendant policy changes suggest a trend to increase the recreational and economic utility of wilderness. Policy changes also...

    Creator:
    Boright, Jonathan
    Abstract:
    ArcView 3D Analyst is a powerful geospatial tool, and has proven very useful in 3D visualization and analysis. In most cases, 3D data models are temporally static, representing only one instance in time. For many applications, the 'missing' time dimension is of great significance, and there is a need to...
