Context Aware Music Recommendation And Playlist Generation, Elias Mann
Context Aware Music Recommendation And Playlist Generation, Elias Mann
SMU Journal of Undergraduate Research
There are many reasons people listen to music, and the type of music is largely determined by what the listener may be doing while they listen. For example, one may listen to one type of music while commuting, another while exercising, and yet another while relaxing. Without access to the physiological state of the user, current music recommendation methods rely on collaborative filtering - recommending music based on what other similar users listen to - and content based filtering - recommending songs based on their similarities to songs the user already prefers. With the rise in popularity of smart devices …

Helping The Home Cook: How Unsupervised Machine Learning Can Prevent Food Waste, Ryan B. Watson
Honors Projects
A common problem for the home cook is having too much of one food ingredient leftover, then not knowing what to do with it. To alleviate this problem, I propose using an unsupervised machine learning model to recommend recipes based on what ingredients the home cook wants to use. This model is built with FastText and trained on the recipe ingredients in the RecipeNLG dataset. Recipes are recommended based on which recipe ingredient set is most similar to the recipe ingredients provided in the user input. This solution will reduce consumer food waste by giving the home cook the information …
Supporting South Korea’S Aging Population: How Ai And Iot Acceptance Connects The Young And Old, Bobby Im
Supporting South Korea’S Aging Population: How Ai And Iot Acceptance Connects The Young And Old, Bobby Im
Master's Projects and Capstones
In 2024, South Korea surpassed every other nation by becoming the country with the lowest fertility rate (below 0.7%). Population decline will hinder future ability to care for their aging population and although the government and private corporations are investing millions of dollars on developing Artificial Intelligence-Internet of Things (AI-IoT) devices to support the aging, the acceptance levels and the amount of family support required is undervalued. By examining AI-IoT’s current use and role in South Korea’s public health system this paper shows how intergenerational support helps optimize existing procedures and equipment, increases the level of acceptance and use, and …
Fusing Classic Motion Energy Models And Deep Learning For Coarse-To-Fine Moving Object Segmentation, Matthias Tangemann, Matthias Kümmerer, Matthias Bethge
Fusing Classic Motion Energy Models And Deep Learning For Coarse-To-Fine Moving Object Segmentation, Matthias Tangemann, Matthias Kümmerer, Matthias Bethge
MODVIS Workshop
Classic motion energy models are able to predict a wide range of physiological and behavioral aspects of motion perception in humans. Whether these models can be used as a basis for higher-level tasks, such as moving object segmentation, has however hardly been explored yet. Here, we present a model that combines a motion energy representation with recent computer vision approaches for figure-ground segmentation of naturalistic stimuli. We find that unlike established motion segmentation models but similar to humans, our model generalizes to random-dot stimuli when only trained on RGB videos.

This research introduces a programmatic approach that harnesses both supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms. The dataset, now expanded to over 2000 elements, becomes the canvas for exploration. The K-means algorithm identifies clusters, which then serve as labels for the supervised SVC algorithm.

An Examination Of Behavior Of Youtube Commenters, John E. Leonard
Computer Science ETDs
YouTube comments are a unique form of social media, as viewers mainly interact with other viewers through comments sections, and cannot choose to interact with specific people. This lack of control over which comments are presented to them forces users to view spam.
Multiple general patterns of behavior were found in the dataset of YouTube comments. For example, most users posted just after a video’s publication. In addition, users tended to watch videos in the evening over the early morning.
A novel method was found for quantifying the likelihood of coordinated accounts being controlled by one person using time sharing. …
