  • Personalized information management systems with tutorial capabilities

    Creator:
    Oman, Paul W.
    Abstract:
    Technological advances of the last three decades have caused an enormous increase in the amount of published and unpublished information generated by our society. This inflation has created the need for improved information management systems. Existing systems are inadequate primarily because they are discipline-oriented and lack the flexibility that is...

  • On feature relevance feedback methods : incorporating labeled user features

    Creator:
    Oberst, Ian
    Abstract:
    In text classification, labeling features is often less time consuming than labeling entire documents. In situations where very little labeled training data is available, feature relevance feedback has the potential to dramatically increase classification performance. We review previous work on incorporating feature relevance feedback in the form of labeled features...

  • Diffusion of information about clothing to adults with orthopedic limitations

    Creator:
    Leber, Delores Ann
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to propose recommendations for improved diffusion of clothing information to orthopedically limited adults. A sample of 180 orthopedically limited adults residing in the Willamette Valley of Oregon was selected using mailing lists from the Oregon Governor's Conference for the Handicapped, from Oregon State University...

  • Archival Anthropometry: An Analysis of the Anthropometric Data of Native American Children Gathered by Franz Boas, 1888-1902

    Creator:
    Kirkpatrick, Kristin A.
    Abstract:
    Franz Boas collected anthropometric data on approximately 15,000 people from over 200 Native American tribal groups between 1888 and 1902. Twelve basic measurements were taken: standing height, shoulder height, height to digit III, arm span, sitting height, shoulder width, head length and width, face height and breadth, and nose height...

  • Using provenance to aid document re-finding

    Creator:
    Lonsdale, Heather
    Abstract:
    In the field of Human-Computer Interaction, provenance refers to the complete history and genealogy of a document. Provenance can be useful in identifying related resources, such as different versions of the same document or resources used in the creation of a new document. Though methods of provenance collection and applications...

  • Differences Between Public Attention and Understanding of School Budget Formats Published in Newspapers

    Creator:
    Mason, Sue Cockeram
    Abstract:
    This thesis study attempts to differentiate between attention and understanding as separate phases of communication theory. To do this, additional analysis was made of data already gathered from a random sample of Oregonians by the Survey Research Center at Oregon State University. An additional objective was to determine the role...

  • Effectiveness of index size reduction techniques

    Creator:
    Jacobson, Bryan L.
    Abstract:
    Index size savings from three techniques are measured. The three techniques are: 1) eliminating common, low information words found in a "stop list" (such as: of, the, at, etc.), 2) truncating terms by eliminating word stems (such as: -s, -ed, -ing, etc.), and 3) simple data compression. Savings are measured...

  • A BIM-based Simulation Framework for Fire Evacuation Planning

    Creator:
    Sun, Qi
    Abstract:
    Fire hazards threaten human life and property safety. Since it is unrealistic to study human behavior during a real fire hazard, computational tools are a better choice to computational tools are a better choice to simulate fire growth and human behavior for predicting evacuation performance in chaotic emergency situations. Although...

  • Optical character recognition using mechanical mask-matching

    Creator:
    Arps, Ronald Barthold
    Abstract:
    This is a report describing the limitations of optical character recognition using the mask-matching principle. Conclusions are supported by the results of an experimental system built for the purpose of reduction to practice. Formulas are derived describing the limitations of a mask-matching system. Given desired character reading speed, a specified...

  • SIDUR--a formalism for structuring knowledge bases

    Creator:
    Kogan, Dan D.
    Abstract:
    A new class of information intensive applications is emerging [Fuch82; Ohsu82] for which neither Artificial Intelligence (AI) nor Database technologies alone are well suited. Database systems do not provide the general inferential capabilities required for problem solving, while AI techniques have not been adapted to handle massive amounts of structured...
