  • Open, online, interactive visualizations for learning about Gaussian mixture models

    Creator:
    Allen, Stuart
    Abstract:
    We construct a website to explain how Gaussian mixture models can be optimized using the expectation maximization algorithm. Previous free, online material on this process has been extremely limited. All sources surveyed failed to entirely describe our identified criteria for an in-depth description and useful visualizations. After surveying a variety...

  • Analysis of Convolutional Neural Network Image Pre-processing Methods

    Creator:
    Jacobsen, Matthew
    Abstract:
    Oceanic plankton have both a large impact on our oceans health and atmo- spheric balance of Co2. The overall health of planktonic life is determined by many physical, chemical, and ecological factors, that drive taxonomic abundances and the relative amount of non-living biomass called detritus. Recent advances in microscopic imaging...

  • 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...

  • Ergonomic Analysis of the Global Formula Racing Driver Interface

    Creator:
    Davis, Sean M.
    Abstract:
    Between Oregon State University and DHBW Ravensberg, Global Formula Racing produces two Formula style vehicles every year for competition. This thesis has served as a pre-development project in the ergonomics and driver interface of the team's vehicles. This project will determine the position of the seat back, steering wheel, and...

  • Deep Learning Temporal Logic Specifications

    Creator:
    Hekkala, Claire M.
    Abstract:
    This thesis seeks to explain a new method of extracting temporal logic formulas from time series data using machine learning. Two strategies were followed during the development of this research: first, a generative adversarial network was combined with already-existing temporal logic extraction code by Belta. This was achieved by injecting...

  • Real-time Speech Workload Estimation

    Creator:
    Fortune, Julian D.
    Abstract:
    Demanding task environments (e.g., supervising a remotely piloted aircraft) require performing tasks quickly and accurately; however, periods of low and high operator workload can decrease task performance. Intelligent modulation of the system’s demands and interaction modality in response to changes in operator workload state may increase performance by avoiding undesirable...

  • Machine Learning and Optimization Applications in Agriculture

    Creator:
    Molotkov, Alexander
    Abstract:
    The ever-increasing global population presents looming problems for the field of agriculture. Global food demand will, at some point, increase to the point where there is not enough crop-ready land to keep up. This creates an additional incentive, other than economics, for growers to increase their yield-per-acre and make sure...

  • Solving Physical Reasoning Tasks in Simulated Environments

    Creator:
    Shureih, Zeyad
    Abstract:
    We take for granted how quickly we, as humans, form mental models of the world around us. By the time we are toddlers, we have an observable intuition around the physical rules of the world. Stacking blocks such that they don’t fall over becomes such a trivial task, that it...

  • The Design and Development of Custom Rear Brake Calipers for the Oregon State University Formula SAE

    Creator:
    Van Horn, Allison
    Abstract:
    Rear brake calipers are a critical component of the brake system within a vehicle. Brake calipers function by clamping against the brake rotor when the brake pedal is pressed by the driver and thus results in deceleration of the vehicle. This thesis aims to design and develop custom rear brake...

  • Relation extraction with automatic ontonotes annotation and ETC

    Creator:
    Sauer, Andrew
    Abstract:
    Intuitively, it seems as though natural language processing tasks might benefit from explicit representations of the syntactic and semantic properties of text. Ontonotes is a dataset which attempts to annotate texts, to represent as much as possible of the meaning of the text explicitly within the annotation. Many tools exist...
