Mathematics & Statistics Faculty Publications
We study the use of deep learning techniques to reconstruct the kinematics of the neutral current deep inelastic scattering (DIS) process in electron–proton collisions. In particular, we use simulated data from the ZEUS experiment at the HERA accelerator facility, and train deep neural networks to reconstruct the kinematic variables Q2 and x. Our approach is based on the information used in the classical construction methods, the measurements of the scattered lepton, and the hadronic final state in the detector, but is enhanced through correlations and patterns revealed with the simulated data sets. We show that, with the appropriate selection …

Long Term Predictive Modeling On Big Spatio-Temporal Data, Yong Zhuang
Long Term Predictive Modeling On Big Spatio-Temporal Data, Yong Zhuang
Graduate Doctoral Dissertations
In the era of massive data, one of the most promising research fields involves the analysis of large-scale Spatio-temporal databases to discover exciting and previously unknown but potentially useful patterns from data collected over time and space. A modeling process in this domain must take temporal and spatial correlations into account, but with the dimensionality of the time and space measurements increasing, the number of elements potentially contributing to a target sharply grows, making the target's long-term behavior highly complex, chaotic, highly dynamic, and hard to predict. Therefore, two different considerations are taken into account in this work: one is …

One challenge that exists for domain scientists today is knowing the resource usage patterns of an application for the purpose of resource provisioning. A tool that accurately estimates these …
Comparing Machine Learning Techniques With State-Of-The-Art Parametric Prediction Models For Predicting Soybean Traits, Susweta Ray
Department of Statistics: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Work
Soybean is a significant source of protein and oil, and also widely used as animal feed. Thus, developing lines that are superior in terms of yield, protein and oil content is important to feed the ever-growing population. As opposed to the high-cost phenotyping, genotyping is both cost and time efficient for breeders while evaluating new lines in different environments (location-year combinations) can be costly. Several Genomic prediction (GP) methods have been developed to use the marker and environment data effectively to predict the yield or other relevant phenotypic traits of crops. Our study compares a conventional GP method (GBLUP), a …
Translation Of Array-Based Loop Programs To Optimized Sql-Based Distributed Programs, Md Hasanuzzaman Noor
Translation Of Array-Based Loop Programs To Optimized Sql-Based Distributed Programs, Md Hasanuzzaman Noor
Computer Science and Engineering Dissertations
Most programs written to operate on data are usually expressed in terms of array operations in sequential loops. However, these programs do not scale to large amount of data generated by scientific experiments and industrial and commercial markets. Given the success of machine learning algorithms on large amount of data and the recent shift of industries to data-driven decision making, the data scientists who are not familiar with Big Data frameworks have to rewrite the sequential programs to distributed data-parallel programs by hand. We present a novel framework, called SQLgen, that automatically translates sequential loops to distributed data-parallel programs. SQLgen …

Regulating New Tech: Problems, Pathways, And People, Cary Coglianese
All Faculty Scholarship
New technologies bring with them many promises, but also a series of new problems. Even though these problems are new, they are not unlike the types of problems that regulators have long addressed in other contexts. The lessons from regulation in the past can thus guide regulatory efforts today. Regulators must focus on understanding the problems they seek to address and the causal pathways that lead to these problems. Then they must undertake efforts to shape the behavior of those in industry so that private sector managers focus on their technologies’ problems and take actions to interrupt the causal pathways. …

Machine learning has the potential to predict unseen data and thus improve the productivity and processes of daily life activities. Notwithstanding its adaptiveness, several sensitive applications based on such technology cannot compromise our trust in them; thus, highly accurate machine learning models require reason. Such models are black boxes for end-users. Therefore, the concept of interpretability plays the role if assisting users in a couple of ways. Interpretable models are models that possess the quality of explaining predictions. Different strategies have been proposed for the aforementioned concept but some of these require an excessive amount of effort, lack generalization, are …

Quantum State Estimation And Tracking For Superconducting Processors Using Machine Learning, Shiva Lotfallahzadeh Barzili
Computational and Data Sciences (PhD) Dissertations
Quantum technology has been rapidly growing; in particular, the experiments that have been performed with superconducting qubits and circuit QED have allowed us to explore the light-matter interaction at its most fundamental level. The study of coherent dynamics between two-level systems and resonator modes can provide insight into fundamental aspects of quantum physics, such as how the state of a system evolves while being continuously observed. To study such an evolving quantum system, experimenters need to verify the accuracy of state preparation and control since quantum systems are very fragile and sensitive to environmental disturbance. In this thesis, I look …
Adaptive Human-Robot Motion Transfer For Complete Body Imitation, Francisco Villa
Adaptive Human-Robot Motion Transfer For Complete Body Imitation, Francisco Villa
Computer Science and Engineering Theses
Programming robot systems to perform certain tasks is a big challenge especially if such programming is to be performed by persons who are not experts in robotics. For example, when programming a robot to serve as an exercise trainer, the person defining the motions might more naturally be a person in the exercise domain rather than a robotics expert. To address this, this thesis investigates programming by demonstration or teleoperation using full direct body motion. The goal is to reproduce gaits, gestures, and postures on a humanoid robot from observed human demonstrations. Fine motor movements such as movement of fingers …
