  • Agile Bipedal Maneuvers Optimized then Learned from Single Rigid-Body Model Dynamics

    Creator:
    Batke, Ryan
    Abstract:
    As bipedal robots move ever closer to being integrated into all manner of real world envi-ronments there is a necessity to push their dynamic capabilities to meet or exceed those of humans and animals. Advancements must be made to address ordinary challenges that arise everyday in the same environments that...

  • Classifying and Synthesizing 3D Shapes of Objects using Deep Neural Networks

    Creator:
    Xu, Xu
    Abstract:
    Reasoning about 3D shape of objects is important for successful computer visionapplications in robotics, 3D rendering and modeling. In this thesis, we address twoproblems { First, given an image, we generate 3D shape of the foreground object thatappears in the image. Second, we predict the class label of the input...

  • 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...

  • Evaluating social media attention interventions

    Creator:
    Gasper, David M.
    Abstract:
    Social media platforms use many techniques to engage users' attention with their platforms, including notifications, popups, and gamification elements. The impact of social media on physical and mental health has been studied, but limited publicly available research exists on how social media users can be helped to disengage from these...

  • A tool for visualizing sequence alignments and associating annotations

    Creator:
    Zhang, Wenpeng
    Abstract:
    Alignment of genomic sequences from different species is becoming an increasingly powerful method in biology, and is being used for many purposes. The result of sequence alignments is a list of pairs of matched locations between the pattern string and the text string. However, without any proper visualization tools to...

  • Detecting Anomalies in Object Appearance and Motion Dynamics

    Creator:
    Alotaibi, Mazen
    Abstract:
    Machine common sense remains a broad, potentially unbounded problem in AI. Our focus is to move toward AI systems that can develop common-sense reasoning similar to humans to detect anomalies. In particular, we study the problem of detecting the violation of expectations when object appearance or motion dynamics change from...

  • Collaborative Online Learning For Join Processing

    Creator:
    Xie, Mian
    Abstract:
    Relational binary operators, such as join, are arguably the most costly and frequently used operations in relational data systems. In many join algorithms, the majority of the process time is spent on scanning and attempting to join the parts of the relations that do not satisfy the join condition and...

  • Monte Carlo Counterfactual Regret Minimization applied to Clue

    Creator:
    Martin, Benjamin
    Abstract:
    This document analyzes the application of Monte Carlo Counterfactual Regret Minimization (MCCFR) in the game of Hasboro’s Clue. As a partially observable stochastic multiplayer game, Clue is well-suited for MCCFR methods. MCCFR has previously been shown to be effective in beating top human players around the world in No-Limit Texas...

  • Efficient Incremental Panorama Reconstruction from Multiple Videos

    Creator:
    Feng, Zhongyuan
    Abstract:
    Constructing a panorama from a set of videos is a long-standing problem in computer vision. A panorama represents an enhanced still-image representation of an entire scene captured in a set of videos, where each video shows only a part of the scene. Importantly, a panorama shows only the scene background,...

  • Network coding for multi-user wireless networks

    Creator:
    Nguyen, Dong Van
    Abstract:
    Until a few years ago, wireless-capable laptops were considered novelties by many. It is now hard to find a laptop or a hand-held computing device that is not wireless-ready. As wireless devices are becoming commodities, they have also become an indispensable part of the modern society. Not surprisingly, research in...
