  • Quantifying the Geomorphic Response of Stage 0 Stream Restoration: A Pilot Project on Whychus Creek

    Creator:
    Scagliotti, Alex
    Abstract:
    It is generally accepted in stream ecology that habitat heterogeneity and patchiness at multiple scales increases ecosystem resilience through niche diversification. Heterogeneous stream habitats include a complex mosaic of hydraulic features, large woody debris, anabranches, substrata and channel forms - this complexity tends to increase as streams progress towards later...

  • A Multivariate Analysis of Pacific Arctic Surface Waters

    Creator:
    Bryant, Aleesa
    Abstract:
    The Pacific Arctic is undergoing rapid biogeochemical changes in response to warming air temperatures caused by climate forcing. This is manifesting as changes in seasonal sea ice thickness and sea ice extent, as well as changes in primary production within surface waters. The data and samples analyzed here were collected...

  • Multi-Reward Learning and Sparse Rewards

    Creator:
    Christopher, Reid M.
    Abstract:
    Reinforcement learning has made impressive strides in solving problems in challenging domains, but problems are increasingly being described with sparse rewards. Sparse rewards directly reduce the rate at which useful feedback is provided to the learner and make it difficult to distinguish between what specific actions led to the reception...

  • Practical Reinforcement Learning for Bipedal Locomotion

    Creator:
    Dao, Jeremy
    Abstract:
    Reinforcement learning has emerged as a popular tool for solving control tasks, with multiple works focusing on the complex and dynamic task of locomotion. However, the naive application of reinforcement learning to this problem often produces maladaptive policies that exploit the model or reward function. This results in behavior that...

  • A Study of Temporal Convolutional Neural Networks for Music Language Modeling as Applied to Automatic Music Transcription

    Creator:
    Meyn, Matthew
    Abstract:
    Automatic music transcription (AMT) is the task, given an acoustic representation of music, to recover a symbolic notation of the written notes expressed by the sound. Transcribing music with multiple notes sounding simultaneously is difficult for both humans and machines. Much existing work on AMT has focused on suitable acoustic...

  • Exploring Indoor Navigation Based on 9-dof Kalman Filter and SLAM Algorithm

    Creator:
    Qin, Shuxian
    Abstract:
    Traditional localization techniques rely on triangulation or trilateration, where in a set of three or more stationary known locations is used to estimate a “client” position. For inertial navigation, these techniques can estimate client positions merely using the measured data from tri-axial accelerometers and gyroscopes. However, the use of double...

  • A Study of Planar and Spherical Stereographics for Visualization

    Creator:
    AlSalehy, Ali S.
    Abstract:
    ”Until relatively recently, mankind was not aware that there was a separable binocular depth sense. Through the ages, people like Euclid and Leonardo understood that we see different images of the world with each eye. But it was Wheatstone who in 1838 explained to the world, with his stereoscope and...

  • To what extent do initiatives to formalize the commercial production of Astrocaryum chambira for handicrafts empower Indigenous women? A comparative analysis in communities with more and less external intervention

    Creator:
    Izaguirre, Elsa A.
    Abstract:
    The management and use of the palm Astrocaryum chambira (commonly known in Peru as “chambira”) for handicrafts is a traditional activity for Indigenous women in the Amazon region. Some governmental and non-governmental initiatives have tried to formalize the production of chambira for handicrafts for commercial purposes, to promote women's empowerment...

    Abstract:
    My thesis in Environmental Arts and Humanities concerned the idea of animal language, as well as other posthuman ideas around animality and indistinction. I also explored virtual space as it relates to human identity, our notions of reality and perception, and the way contemporary digital artists approach animal subjectivity in...
