Oracle Guided Image Synthesis with Relative Queries
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2023-01-18)Isolating and controlling specific features in the outputs of generative models in a user-friendly way is a difficult and open-ended problem. We develop techniques that allow a user to generate an image they are envisioning ... -
Intelligent Buffer Pool Prefetching
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2023-01-18)Buffer pools are essential for disk-based database management system (DBMS) performance as accessing memory on disk is orders of magnitude more expensive than accessing data in-memory. As such, one of the most important ... -
BrainBraille: Towards Passive Training in Brain-Computer Interfaces using fNIRS
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2023-01-18)Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a debilitating movement disability that causes patients to gradually lose their ability to voluntarily control their muscles. In some cases, patients who are "locked-in" are unable ... -
Forecasting Atlanta Gentrification with Transformers
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2023-01-18)Gentrification is an impactful trend in American cities, yet our ability to measure and predict this process remains weak. This thesis explores the use of machine learning to predict gentrification in Atlanta, Georgia. We ... -
Fighting on Facebook: Political Conversations Between Strong and Weak Ties
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2023-01-18)Most Facebook users have observed a heated disagreement on the site, or been involved in such a disagreement themselves. Why do we get into these disagreements and who are we fighting with? Are we learning anything from ... -
Evaluating the Predictive Performance of Genomic Data-based Machine Learning Models for 4 Different Mental Health Disorders
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2023-01-18)Clinical psychiatry can greatly benefit from using polygenic risk scores (PRS) to assess the risk of developing certain mental health disorders. While the PRS performance can be evaluated considering exclusively the disorder, ... -
Usability Study of ImageScape Integration in the Prolonged Exposure Collective Sensing System (PECSS)
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2023-01-18)We studied the usability and usefulness of the Prolonged Exposure Collective Sensing System (PECSS) for clinicians conducting prolonged exposure (PE) therapy with a special focus on one functional component of PECSS called ... -
Sequential Decision Making with Strategic Agents and Limited Feedback
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2022-12-13)Sequential decision-making is a natural model for machine learning applications where the learner must make online decisions in real time and simultaneously learn from the sequential data to make better decisions in the ... -
Grounded Semantic Reasoning for Robotic Interaction with Real-World Objects
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2022-12-13)Robots are increasingly transitioning from specialized, single-task machines to general-purpose systems that operate in unstructured environments, such as homes, offices, and warehouses. In these real-world domains, robots ... -
Combining Classification and Clustering Tasks to Categorize Known and Unknown Classes
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2022-12-19)Since the past few years research has been directed towards the training of neural networks using unlabeled data or pairwise pseudo constraints known as unsupervised learning and semi-supervised learning respectively. In ... -
Leveraging Value-awareness for Online and Offline Model-based Reinforcement Learning
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2022-12-07)Model-based Reinforcement Learning (RL) lies at the intersection of planning and learning for sequential decision making. Value-awareness in model learning has recently emerged as a means to imbue task or reward information ... -
Deep Reinforcement Learning for the Velocity Control of a Magnetic, Tethered Differential-Drive Robot
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2022-12-15)The ROBOPLANET Altiscan crawler is a magnetic-wheeled, differential-drive robot being explored as an option to aid, if not completely replace, humans in the inspection and maintenance of marine vessels. Velocity control ... -
On The Use of Over-Approximate Analysis in Support of Software Development and Testing
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2022-12-01)The effectiveness of dynamic program analyses, such as profiling and memory-leak detection, crucially depend on the quality of the test inputs. However, adequate sets of inputs are rarely available. Existing automated input ... -
Interleaving Allocation, Planning, and Scheduling for Heterogeneous Multi-Robot Coordination through Shared Constraints
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2022-12-07)In a wide variety of domains, such as warehouse automation, agriculture, defense, and assembly, effective coordination of heterogeneous multi-robot teams is needed to solve complex problems. Effective coordination is ... -
