    Abstract:
    E-commerce has begun to evolve beyond simple web pages to more sophisticated ways of conducting e-business transactions, such as through electronic advertising, negotiation, and delivery. However, to participate in these advances requires the skills of professional programmers, and end-user owners of small businesses often cannot justify this expense. In this...

  • Mental Models of Mere Mortals with Explanations of Reinforcement Learning

    Creator:
    Anderson, Andrew A.
    Abstract:
    How should reinforcement learning (RL) agents explain themselves to humans not trained in AI? To gain insights into this question, we conducted a 124 participant, four-treatment experiment to compare participants’ mental models of an RL agent in the context of a simple Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game. The four treatments isolated...

  • The InclusiveMag Method: A Start Towards More Inclusive Software for Diverse Populations

    Creator:
    Mendez, Christopher
    Abstract:
    How can software practitioners assess whether their software supports diverse users? Although there are empirical processes that can be used to find “inclusivity bugs” piecemeal, what is often needed is a systematic inspection method to assess software’s support for diverse populations. To help fill this gap, this thesis introduces InclusiveMag,...

  • Explanations and Processes to Enable Humans to Assess AI with Respect to Manipulable Properties

    Creator:
    Dodge, Jonathan E.
    Abstract:
    Assessing AI systems is difficult. Humans rely on AI systems in increasing ways, both visible and invisible, meaning a variety of stakeholders need a variety of assessment tools (e.g., a professional auditor, a developer, and an end user all have different needs). We posit that it is possible to provide...

  • Relationships between forest-floor invertebrate distribution, movement, and microclimate under alternative riparian management practices

    Creator:
    Rykken, Jessica J.
    Abstract:
    Headwater streams and their riparian zones are a common, yet poorly understood, component of Pacific Northwest landscapes. I sought to describe the ecological significance of headwater stream riparian zones as habitat for forest-floor invertebrate communities, and to assess how alternative management strategies for riparian zones may impact these communities. I...

  • Characterizing the response of coralline algae to ocean acidification and nutrient changes in the California Current system

    Creator:
    Letzing, Sandy
    Abstract:
    Ocean acidification (OA) has emerged as an important focus of research and policy in this decade. Ocean acidification specifically refers to changes in the inorganic carbon system in the ocean resulting from its absorption of human-released CO₂ from the atmosphere. Anthropogenic atmospheric CO₂ levels are rapidly increasing; much of this...

  • From myth to reality: mapping the Northwest 1790 to 1850

    Creator:
    Mathewson, Sandy
    Abstract:
    The prevailing image of the Northwest at the beginning of the nineteenth century, as portrayed on maps published at the time, was based more on myth and wishful thinking than on geographic fact. During the next fifty years these myths were exploded as exploration of this previously unknown territory progressed,...

  • Novel approaches to promoting end-user programming

    Creator:
    Bahmani, Faezeh
    Abstract:
    End-user programming has become widespread. The increasing size of this population and the prevalence of barriers that they face has sparked the development of approaches that promote end-user programing by helping them overcome barriers and teaching them programming. Despite the fact that these approaches have done well in achieving those...
