We present a user study to investigate the impact of explanations on non-experts' understanding of reinforcement learning (RL) agents. We investigate both a common RL visualization, saliency maps (the focus of attention), and a more recent explanation type, reward-decomposition bars (predictions of future types of rewards). We designed a 124...
Several triazine herbicides were evaluated during the fall of 1967 and the spring and summer of 1958 on a variety of crop and week species to determine their potential selective and soil sterilant value.
Water chemistry measurements taken at or downstream of Fall Creek Reservoir, OR (43.9459714, -122.755765). Fall Creek is a tributary of the Middle Fork Willamette River, located approximately 20 miles SE of Eugene, Oregon, USA.
Water chemistry measurements included water samples collected from the reservoir outflow (during autumn drawdown) and within...

Pattern matching is the process of comparing two objects to see if they are similar to each other. Objects can be physical objects, situations, facts or events. The criteria of matching can be exact or partial. Traditional pattern matching systems rely on exact matches, in which a small set of...
Multimedia networking is one of the most exciting developments in today's Internet. Streaming technology; which allows the player to start playing audio/video data immediately instead of waiting for the entire file to be downloaded, presents an attractive vehicle for the distribution of multimedia content over the Internet. However, transmitting real-time...
The Structural Active-Object System (SAOS) approach allows rapid development of various concurrent systems by structural and hierarchical object composition (SHOC). We implemented, as a SAOS program, a graphical editing and simulation program for automatic guided vehicle (AGV) systems, which carry around parts in automated factories. It is difficult to predict...
Programming style is important for program understanding in programming tasks such as maintenance. testing, and debugging. The goal of programming style is to improve the readability of the source program without adversely affecting its performance.
Critique is a FORTRAN source program style critic which analyzes the source program and outputs...
Hayes, in his Naive Physics Manifesto, identified two alternate ontologies for reasoning about liquids, an ontology based on the notion of a contained substance and one based on the notion of a molecular collection. Qualitative Process theory, proposed by Forbus, lends itself easily to encoding the contained substance ontology. It...
