Contextually Recommending Expert Help and Demonstrations to Improve Creativity

Author(s): Fraser, Cristin Ailidh | Advisor(s): Klemmer, Scott R | Abstract: Translating goals into concrete actions is a major challenge for people doing creative activities. Expert examples, tutorials, and videos abound online, helping people find inspiration and learn from the best. However, online resources are detached from the user’s work. The user must determine which resource is most relevant to their particular situation, and adapt it to their context. The sensemaking challenge of using help resources combined with the open-endedness of creative work can be tedious at best, and paralyzing at worst, preventing people from reaching their full creative potential.My dissertation introduces methods for curating existing expert help and demonstrations and presenting them to users in context, with the goal of better supporting the iterative creative process and thus enabling people to produce better work. Leveraging existing expert-made resources enables people to learn from others more easily, and placing them in context promotes serendipity and unexpected connections.When performing creative activities, people can be driven by processes and/or outcomes: sometimes they are interested in understanding the process behind creative tasks, while other times they wish to reach a particular outcome the fastest and easiest way possible. This dissertation presents four interactive systems that explore how three different types of expert resource -- visual media, executable code, and written text -- can help people accomplish one or both of the above goals at a level beyond what they could have achieved otherwise.Specifically, RePlay and ReMap support both process and outcome by enabling in-task search and navigation of help videos. LiveClips supports discovery and exploration of expert processes by embedding inspirational clips from live streamed videos into the user’s workflow. DiscoverySpace helps novices discover and achieve expert outcomes by recommending action macros in-situ. Finally, CritiqueKit combines adaptive suggestions with interactive guidance to help novices improve their outcomes in the moment.Together, these systems and their evaluations demonstrate how curating and presenting expert help and demonstrations in-situ can help novices build confidence, accomplish tasks, and produce higher-quality creative work. My dissertation enables more people to reach their creative potential by lowering the barriers to getting started and completing projects.
Abstract data types

Formation of notion is a fundamental process in education, and for that reason it is excessively studied in both psychology and pedagogy. The application of the pedagogical techniques has a key role in education in informatics (Asenova, 1990) and has improved significantly the results in introduction of complex notions in our practice. Such complex notion is abstract data type (ADT) which is a key concept in computer programming for developing data structures, data types, and have vast influence on the algorithms applied on them. In order to introduce the notion ADT we adopt a system of tasks that develop the needed knowledge through the important data structures of linked lists, queues and stacks.

ChildFace: Gender Aware Child Face Aging

Child face aging and rejuvenation has amassed considerable active research interest due to its immense impact on monitoring applications especially for finding lost/abducted children with childhood photos and hence protect children. Prior studies are primarily motivated to enhance the generation quality and aging of face images, rather than quantifying face recognition performance. To address this challenge we propose ChildFace model. Our model does child face aging and rejuvenation while using gender as condition. Our model uses Conditional Generative Adversarial Nets (cGANs), VGG19 based perceptual loss and LightCNN29 age classifier and produces impressive results. Intense quantitative study based on verification, identification and age estimation proves that our model is competent to existing state-of-art models and can make a significant contribution in identifying missing children.

On Integrated Art (Theoretical View of Russian Futurists on the Issue of Integrated Art)

The paper examines certain statements on the issue of integrated art put forward by Nikolai Kulbin (1868-1917) and Arthur Lourie (1891-1966). In Russia, the idea to integrate literature, painting, and music in the unified form of art was first suggested by N. Kulbin (1868-1917). He believed that the core of integrated art is based on harmony and dissonance. The author of the paper defines them as a dialectical philosophical pair. It is indivisible and "lives" in the temporal dimension. The associative sequence concerning a<BR>philosophical couple of harmony and dissonance is considered in a form of the physical-and-mathematical triangle of energy, a figure (shape) and space transformation of the latter. Kulbin’s concept became a basis for the first manifesto on the issue of integrated art "We and the West" (1914) written by three co-authors-and-futurists B. Livshits (literature), G. Yakulov (painting), and A. Lourie (music).<BR> The paper proposes the interpretation of the postulates required for integrated art, general ones as well as specific musical constituents. The author’s interpretation relies upon Lourie’s writings with concern on the elements of musical language and their functioning in the musical form.<BR> The paper bases on Kulbin’s two essays "Free Music" in two versions (1909, 1910) and "Free art" (1910), a manifesto "We and the West" (1914) by B. Livshits, B. Yakulov, and A. Lourie, and the speech to the youth-artists of Caucasia "We and the West" (1917) by A. Lourie.

Research on Teaching Method for the Algorithms for Multiplication of Natural Numbers Based on Analysis of Korean Elementary School Mathematics Textbooks

In this study, we investigated how multiplication with more than two-digit numbers had been taught in Korean elementary mathematics textbooks. In the analysis, we found as follows. In the 2015 mathematics textbooks, the multiplication model and the multiplication situation are presented in a more diverse manner than in previous mathematics textbooks. The distribution law of multiplication for addition was taught with several models. On the other hand, the associative and commutative laws of multiplication was taught somewhat limitedly only at one specific point. The standard multiplication algorithm was generally taught to faithfully record the calculation of partial products according to the distribution law of multiplication for addition. Based upon these results, we suggested some proposals for improving the multiplication teaching.

Intra-Actions: Experiments with Velocity and Position in Continuous Controllers

Continuous MIDI controllers commonly output their position only, with no influence of the performative energy with which they were set. In this paper, creative uses of time as a parameter in continuous controller mapping are demonstrated: the speed of movement affects the position mapping and control output. A set of SuperCollider classes are presented, developed in the author’s practice in computer music, where they have been used together with commercial MIDI controllers. The creative applications employ various approaches and metaphors for scaling time, but also machine learning for recognising patterns. In the techniques, performer, controller and synthesis ‘intra-act’, to use Karen Barad’s term: because position and velocity are derived from the same data, sound output cannot be predicted without the temporal context of performance.
NREL's Improved Linearity Testing of Photovoltaic Reference Cells

Photovoltaic devices are characterized under standard testing conditions that include a defined reference spectrum and total irradiance. International standards for reference cell calibrations require that reported reference cell response (typically Isc) vs. total irradiance must be linear. How can linearity be efficiently determined? In 2006 NREL developed a test bed, based on the "two-lamp method" that provided a low cost, but low accuracy method for determining whether cell response was linear with irradiance. This paper describes very simple changes to NREL's historical method [1] for determining linearity that yield greatly improved results. It also describes a method that can be used to quantify and correct for non-linearity.
Applications of Uncertainty Quantification to Coagulation Biology

Author(s): Stobb, Michael T. | Advisor(s): Leiderman, Karin; Sindi, Suzanne S | Abstract: Blood coagulation is a complex system comprised of numerous biochemical reactions. Due to this complexity, mathematical modeling has been used to increase the overall understanding of the system as a whole, determine previously unknown mechanisms, and to predict system responses. These models, however, may involve uncertainty in both parameter values and kinetic schemes that describe the reactions; this dissertation examines two such ideas. First, we examine the interactions between a specific coagulation factor, FXa, and an experimental tool designed to measure its action, a chromogenic substrate. Second, we examine a more complex mathematical model in regards to its parametric uncertainty. Chapter 1 gives a background on the mathematical tools used in this dissertation and necessary for uncertainty quantification (UQ) and an overview of the two aforementioned systems. In Chapter 2 we demonstrate how an application of UQ identifies a new model for product inhibition between FXa and its chromogenic substrate, which is validated experimentally. In Chapter 3 we conduct an extensive local and global sensitivity analysis for a mathematical model of flow-mediated blood coagulation. We determined that for many cases a local analysis is sufficient to understand the uncertainty in the model’s output, but that for certain cases there are classes of parameters that exhibit strong synergistic behavior, and so a global method that is capable of resolving interaction effects is necessary. These results motivated the work in Chapter 4 where we used global sensitivity analysis on a mathematical model to identify a novel mechanism for recovering a normal clotting response in hemophilia A; the potential mechanism was further supported by experimental validation. Chapter 5 summarizes the conclusions from the preceding chapters and presents ongoing work relating to the two projects.

A robust matching algorithm for shape recognition based on geometric consistency

Though there are many algorithms which devote to extracting the descriptors for the shapes, the correspondences between shapes established only by descriptor distance are not reliably. To address this issue, a new shape matching algorithm is proposed on the basis of the geometric consistency between shapes. Each shape pair is represented as a node in a graph, and the weight of each edge is computed while the descriptor R-histogram which represents the topological relationship between shapes is adopted. Then, the problem of descriptor matching can be formed as finding the principal cluster of the graph, which is solve by the Hungarian algorithm in this paper. Our proposed approach has been implemented and gives encouraging results under rotation, scaling, shearing and noise.
