School of Computer Science Undergraduate Research Option Theses
The Research Option offers students majoring in computer science the opportunity for a substantial, in-depth research experience. Students are strongly encouraged at the end of their experience to work with their faculty mentor to develop a journal publication or conference presentation on the research in addition to the actual thesis.

Real-time State Estimation for Aggressive Driving Autonomous Ground Vehicles
State estimation is an integral part of many robotic systems. It is particularly important in the realm of high performance ground vehicles where systems must be real-time, robust, and accurate. This project aims to tackle ... -
A blockchain-inspired design for a modern academic system
When reminded of blockchains, the public’s attention tends to turn to finance because of the recent growth of Bitcoin and its impact on the economy; however, these cryptographic data structures also have value in several ... -
Predicting Protein-Protein Interaction via Convolutional Adaptive Dot Product
We propose a deep-learning method for predicting protein-protein interaction (PPI) via an adaptive dot product in combination with dilated convolutions. Protein-protein interac- tion is a crucial biological process. Being ... -
Deception Detection Tests Along with Brain-Computer Interface
Primarily polygraphs (AKA lie detectors) are being used for deception detection tests (DDT) in terms of knowing hidden and crucial information associated with crime or an incidence. Often, other factors, i.e., nervousness, ... -
Podium: Ranking Data Using Mixed-Initiative Visual Analytics
Ranking points of data is utilized in everyday decision making, and multi-attribute ranking systems are a tool used to facilitate the ranking process and help make these data-driven decisions. These systems ask users to ... -
Moderation in different communities on Reddit -- A qualitative analysis study

Story Generation with Deep Reinforcement Learning
Storytelling has applications in areas ranging from creating books and novels to engrossing movie scripts to the gaming industry. It would be useful to create interactive plot lines for games, motivate mission generation, ... -
State Space Decomposition in Reinforcement Learning
Typical reinforcement learning (RL) agents learn to complete tasks specified by reward functions tailored to their domain. As such, the policies they learn do not generalize even to similar domains. To address this issue, ... -
Landslide Information Service by Integrating Multiple Information Sources
Detection of natural disasters mostly depends on physical sensors, but few physical sensors are available for the detection of multi-hazards, such as landslides (Musaev, Wang & Pu, 2015). As a popular platform for real ... -
Overlapping Clustering of Contextual Bandits with NMF techniques
We introduce a novel approach to recommendation based on item clustering using non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) techniques. We propose a new algorithm, OCB (Overlapping Clustering Bandits), that groups items into ... -
