  • Automated Assembly Planning : From CAD Model to Virtual Assembly Process

    Creator:
    Rafibakhsh, Nima
    Abstract:
    Assembly planning is a crucial task for every manufacturing product. In general, assembly operations consume more than 30% of the total manufacturing time and cost. Therefore, any effort in optimizing assembly will have a significant impact on the economic success of manufacturing. Finding an optimal assembly plan by hand is...

  • Multi-instance multi-label learning : algorithms and applications to bird bioacoustics

    Creator:
    Briggs, Forrest
    Abstract:
    We consider the problem of supervised classification of bird species from audio recordings in a real-world acoustic monitoring scenario (i.e. audio data is collected in the field with an omnidirectional microphone, without human supervision). Obtaining better data about bird activity can assist conservation efforts, and improve our understanding of their...

  • Creating, Understanding and Applying Machine Learning Models of Multiple Species

    Creator:
    Griffioen, Arwen Twinkle E.
    Abstract:
    Many problems in ecology and conservation biology can be formulated and solved using machine learning algorithms for multi-label classification. This dissertation addresses three topics related to predicting the distributions of multiple species. It improves existing methods and proposes a new modeling paradigm to address the multi-species, multi-label problem. The first...

  • Simultaneous segmentation and classification of bird song using CNN

    Creator:
    Narasimhan, Revathy
    Abstract:
    In bioacoustics, automatic animal voice detection and recognition from audio recordings is an emerging topic for animal preservation. Our research focuses on bird bioacoustics, where the goal is to segment bird syllables from the recording and predict the bird species for the syllables. Traditional methods for this task addresses the...

  • Spatial and Temporal Dynamics of Broad-scale Predictive Models : Influences of Scale

    Creator:
    Hooper, Samuel
    Abstract:
    Developing accurate predictive distribution models requires adequately representing relevant spatial and temporal scales, as these scales are ultimately reflective of the relationships between distributions and influential environmental conditions. In this research, we considered both spatial and temporal scale and the influence each has on predicting broad-scale distributions of two disparate...

  • Pixel- and Frame-level Video Labeling using Spatial and Temporal Convolutional Networks

    Creator:
    Lei, Peng
    Abstract:
    This dissertation addresses the problem of video labeling at both the frame and pixel levels using deep learning. For pixel-level video labeling, we have studied two problems: i) Spatiotemporal video segmentation and ii) Boundary detection and boundary flow estimation. For the problem of spatiotemporal video segmentation, we have developed recurrent...

  • Improving automated email tagging with implicit feedback

    Creator:
    Sorower, Mohammad Shahed
    Abstract:
    Machine learning systems are generally trained offline using ground truth data that has been labeled by experts. However, these batch training methods are not a good fit for many applications, especially in the cases where complete ground truth data is not available for offline training. In addition, batch methods do...

  • A study of methods for fine-grained object classification of arthropod specimens

    Creator:
    Lin, Junyuan
    Abstract:
    Object categorization is one of the fundamental topics in computer vision research. Most current work in object categorization aims to discriminate among generic object classes with gross differences. However, many applications require much finer distinctions. This thesis focuses on the design, evaluation and analysis of learning algorithms for fine- grained...

  • Investigating Transcriptional Control of Specialized Gene Expression in Plants

    Creator:
    Fraser, Valerie N.
    Abstract:
    Specialized or secondary metabolism is a collection of pathways and small molecules that, while beneficial to an organism, are not strictly necessary for survival. Plants use secondary metabolites to, among other things, attract pollinators, defend against biotic and abiotic stressors, and form symbioses. Natural products from plants have seen an...

  • Image Based Crypto

    Creator:
    Basa, Gungor
    Abstract:
    The ability to create reproducible cryptographically secure keys from temporal environments (e.g., images) has the potential to be a contributor to effective cryptographic mechanisms. Due to the noisy nature of these environments, achieving this goal in a user friendly fashion is a very challenging task, especially since there exists a...
