A fuzzy consensus building framework for early alignment of construction project teams on the extent of their roles and responsibilities
DownloadFall 2010
This thesis presents a Fuzzy Consensus Building Framework (FCBF), which enables construction project parties to align their teams on their roles and responsibilities early on in their projects. The framework introduces a model that (1) incorporates consensus of construction project teams in...

As people age, they adjust how they associate objects. We examine the interplay between age and various aspects of object similarity. For this, we perform two experiments: one between adults aged 25–35 and 50–60 and another between six-year-olds and adults. Between 25–35- and 50–60-year-olds, we...

Alzheimer’s Dementia Detection Through Machine Learning: Analyzing Linguistic and Acoustic Features in Spontaneous Speech
DownloadFall 2023
With the rapid aging of the world’s population, the global burden of aging related mental disorders, such as Alzheimer’s dementia (AD), is also on the rise. Unfortunately global healthcare systems are vastly under-resourced, which means that many people who need mental health services are unable...

Building intelligent open-domain dialogue systems is a long-standing goal of artificial intelligence. These systems, also known as chatbots, aim to hold conversations with humans in an open-ended fashion. However, it is well known that standard encoder-decoder dialogue systems tend to generate...

Application of Natural Language Processing and Information Retrieval in Two Software Engineering Tools
DownloadFall 2021
Many software engineering problems have traditionally been approached by applying techniques based on static analysis and fixed sets of rules. I created two novel techniques to tackle three software engineering problems: typo location, fix suggestion, and crash report bucket creation. However,...

Expansion of ruminant-specific microRNAs shapes target gene expression divergence between ruminant and non-ruminant species
Download2013
Kommadath, A., Bao, H., Meng, Y., Plastow, G. S., Stothard, P., Sun, X., Arantes, A. S., Guan, L. L.
Background Understanding how species-specific microRNAs (miRNAs) contribute to species-specific phenotypes is a central topic in biology. This study aimed to elucidate the role of ruminant-specific miRNAs in shaping mRNA expression divergence between ruminant and non-ruminant species. ...

Finding reliable resources and Chatting with Mira while considering emotions when the scenario is unscripted
DownloadSpring 2024
The primary wellspring of information, the Internet, abounds with misinfor- mation, particularly in the domains of mental health and psychology. This also affects the reliability and truth of responses of chatbots counting on unverified data. To address this concern, the MIRA project started to...

Grapheme-to-phoneme conversion (G2P) is the task of converting a word, represented by a sequence of graphemes, to its pronunciation, represented by a sequence of phonemes. The G2P task plays a crucial role in speech synthesis systems, and is an important part of other applications, including...

Identification of a putative quantitative trait nucleotide in guanylate binding protein 5 for host response to PRRS virus infection
Download2015
Choi, I., Guan, L., Plastow, G. S., Liu, P., Koltes, J. E., Loyd, H., Boddicker, N. J., Eisley, C. J., Schroyen, M., Bao, H., Dekkers, J. C. M., Kommadath, A., Abrams, S. M., Reecy, J. M., Rowland, R. R. R., Serão, N. V. L., Lunney, J. K., Carpenter, S., Stothard, P., Fritz-Waters, E., Tuggle, C. K.
Background Previously, we identified a major quantitative trait locus (QTL) for host response to Porcine Respiratory and Reproductive Syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection in high linkage disequilibrium (LD) with SNP rs80800372 on Sus scrofa chromosome 4 (SSC4). Results Within this QTL,...
