6-foot pine: life and romance in the chrondemic age is a hybrid work of speculative fiction that interrogates attraction and connection in a near-future time of chronic pandemics while under the persistent choking ravages ... -
A Biologically Plausible Mechanism for Phonology Acquisition in Human Infants
Infants go through a serial developmental process in language acquisition, which is observable as specific linguistic milestones: by around six weeks of age, infants coo; by about six months they begin to babble, entering ... -
A Joint Model Provisioning and Request Dispatch Solution for Mobile Inference Serving at the Edge
With the advancement of machine learning (ML), a growing number of mobile clients rely onML inference for making time-sensitive and safety-critical decisions. Therefore, the demand for high-quality and low-latency inference ... -
A Nursery Rhyme from Another Summer
Abstract: This thesis was written as an experimental memoir on abuse and recovery. It explores these topics through poetry, prose, and experimental non-fiction. -
A Sequence Based Approach for Predicting Clinical Events
The data associated to each patient increases almost linearly as the patient flows through the continuum of care. Analysis of the data collected during a patient’s admission to the hospital reveals that it grows vertically ... -
A Sequentialization of Features Approach to Complex Event Sequence Prediction
Sequence based prediction takes an ordered list of events as input and makes predictions about the next event. Most existing work on sequence based prediction assumes that the sequences are simple, i.e. consisting of symbols ... -
A Study of Correlations Between Trait Affect and Phishing Susceptibility
Although phishing emails have been in use for decades, these social engineering attacks are still prevalent because they keep working; in fact, they are a leading cause of data breaches. In this research, I attempt to ... -
A System for Secure and Categorized Video-Sharing
Online video sharing is a phenomenon which continues to be increasingly utilized by the entirepopulation. Preserving the privacy of videos shared online is of utmost importance, but there is one use case that hasn’t yet ... -

A Woman's Mutation is a collection of essays and fragments about becoming a mother in the United States as a French woman in the middle of a pandemic. It touches on the subjects of mental health, motherhood doubts, legacy, ... -
A[not]her Nature
A[not]her Nature is a collection of collage poems (centos) written in response to environmental issues. The language in many of these poems is drawn from, or responds to, seminal works of nature writing in an attempt to ... -
Accelerating large-scale simulations of cortical neuronal network development
(2012-09-13)Cultured dissociated cortical cells grown into networks on mult-electrode arrays are used to investigate neuronal network development, activity, plasticity, response to stimuli, the effects of pharmacological agents, etc. ... -
Adaptive Probabilistic Topic Models for Social Networks
(2012-09-13)Online social networks such as Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook generate tremendous amount of text and social interaction data. On one hand, the increasing amount of available information has motivated computational research ... -
Adversarial Example Resistant Hyperparameters and Deep Learning Networks
Carefully crafted input has been shown to cause misclassifications in machine learning based classification systems resulting in the phenomenon of adversarial examples. Hyperparameters, the settings used to build and train ... -
Advocating Social Policy Reform: Universal Basic Loan and US Welfare Schemes
(2018)This study reviews the history of US poverty and social policies and analyzes alternative solutions and reforms to current income support systems. It examines welfare schemes that aims to reduce wealth and income inequality ... -
Agent Based Parallelization of Computational Geometry Algorithms
The Multi-Agent Spatial Simulation (MASS) library is a parallel programming library that utilizes agent-based modeling (ABM) to parallelize big data analysis. In this research, we aim to build on the previous research using ... -
AGENT-BASED COMPUTATIONAL GEOMETRY
The Multi-Agent Spatial Simulation (MASS) library is a parallel programming library that uses agent-based modeling (ABM) parallelization approach over a distributed cluster. The MASS library contains several applications ... -
