Healthcare Data Mining Using In-database Analytics to Predict Diagnosis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease
(2013-04-17)Inflammatory Bowel Disease is a life-changing affliction with few correlative and no known causal factors for its two major forms. With the widespread use of electronic medical record systems, and therefore the availability ... -
High Velocity Operating Systems Development
Development velocity is critical to modern software development, particularly in thecloud, because it allows developers to ship features to users quickly. Despite Linux being the most commonly used cloud operating system, ... -
High-dimensional machine learning for drug target discovery and precision medicine
Identifying mechanisms of complex diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease or cancer is essential to discover molecular targets for therapeutic intervention, ideally in a personalized manner. Gene expression measured in a ... -
High-performance parallel systems for data-intensive computing
Applications in data science rely on two computing paradigms: tuned high performance parallel programs and data analytics. While historically their differences were good reason to separate the paradigms into different ... -
How to train your self-supervised NLP model: Investigating pre-training objectives, data, and scale
A robust language processing machine should be able to encode linguistic and factual knowledge across a wide variety of domains, languages, and even modalities. The paradigm of pre-training self-supervised models on large ... -
Human-AI Interaction for Exploratory Search & Recommender Systems with Application to Cultural Heritage
Exploratory search and recommender systems are ubiquitous and central to information navigation. Yet, many pressing challenges remain surrounding the development of robust systems, from producing high-quality data and ... -
Human-Centered and Computational Understanding for the Design and Adaptation of Mental Health and Well-being Interventions
As many as 20% of Americans suffer from diagnosable mental health disorders, but those overwhelmed with physiological and economic burdens cannot prioritize seeking support for their mental health and well-being. There are ... -
Human-Centric Security and Privacy for Emerging Technologies
The creation and adoption of connectivity-, sensor-, and actuator-rich emerging technologies alter the landscape for computer security and privacy. New technologies facilitate novel or amplified kinds of attacks on the ... -

Humans and Vulnerability During Times of Change: Computer Security Needs, Practices, Challenges, and Opportunities
This dissertation explores the relationship between *change* and vulnerability to security and privacy harms. I suggest that change causes vulnerability in part due to the nature of change, and in part due to the design ... -
Image-Based Remodeling: A Framework for Creating, Visualizing, and Editing Image-Based Models
(2014-04-30)Image-based models are geometric models created from photographs and textured with the photographs for realistic rendering. In recent years, it has become increasingly easy to capture many photographs of an object and use ... -
Implementing the Multi-agent spatial simulation (MASS) library on the Graphics Processor Unit
(2013-04-17)The current frameworks for Agent-Based Models (ABMs) are mostly serial, which causes a fundamental limitation in their execution . ABMs by nature require a large population of agents in order to show consistent patterns ... -
Improving Clinical Decision Support in Low-Income Regions
(2012-09-13)The combination of lightly trained doctors, under-resourced hospitals, and complex treatment protocols can sometimes result in sub-standard care for HIV patients in low-income regions. While previous work has shown that ... -
Improving effectiveness of automated software testing in the absence of specifications
(2005)This dissertation presents techniques for improving effectiveness of automated software testing in the absence of specifications, evaluates the efficacy of these techniques, and proposes directions for future research.Software ... -
Improving Fault Tolerance and Performance of Data Center Networks
Data center networks are a key component to the explosive growth of cloud computing---enabling the utilization of tens to hundreds of thousands of co-located servers for large-scale computing and services. As applications ... -
Influence apart from Adoption: How Interaction between Programming and Scientific Practices Shapes Modes of Inquiry in Four Oceanography Teams
Scientists have been producing and sharing code for decades. Code work done by scientists spans simulation, data processing, analysis, visualization, communication, and data stewardship. Robust instrumentation generates ... -
