Zaretzky, Jessica, Bide, Martin
Most textile items are expected to maintain their properties over time, and thus, exhibit durability. Durability extends to mechanical integrity, color, and additional properties conferred by textile finishes. The durability of color is routinely measured in colorfastness tests, many of which are...

Learning about many things can provide numerous benefits to a reinforcement learning system. For example, learning many auxiliary value functions, in addition to optimizing the environmental reward, appears to improve both exploration and representation learning. The question we tackle in this...

In model-based reinforcement learning, an agent can improve its policy by planning: learning from experience generated by a model. Search control is the problem of determining which starting state should be used to generate this experience. Given a limited planning budget, an agent should be...

Addressing the Challenges of Applying Machine Learning for Predicting Mental Disorders and Their Prognosis Using Two Case Studies
DownloadSpring 2019
Ghoreishiamiri, Seyedehreyhaneh
One of the principal applications of machine learning in psychiatry is to build automated tools that can help clinicians predict the diagnosis and prognosis of mental disorders using available data from patients’ profiles. Here, in two different studies, we investigate ways to use machine learn-...

Air-and water-stable halide perovskite nanocrystals protected with nearly-monolayer carbon nitride for CO2 photoreduction and water splitting
Download2022-09-25
Halide perovskites are exciting candidates for broad-spectrum photocatalysts but have the problem of ambient stability. Protective shells of oxides and polymers around halide perovskite nano- and micro-crystals provide a measure of chemical and photochemical resilience but the photocatalytic...

An approach for Evaluating the Full Truck and Full Bucket Loading Strategies in Open-Pit Mining Using a Discrete Event Simulation and Machine Learning
DownloadFall 2022
Material loading and hauling are crucial factors in the mining industry, comprising over 50% of the costs. Many studies covered optimization and improving the efficiency of truck-shovel operations. Decreasing operating costs is vital for mining companies to remain profitable and feasible....

An Empirical Study on Learning and Improving the Search Objective for Unsupervised Paraphrasing
DownloadSpring 2022
Research in unsupervised text generation has been gaining attention over the years. One recent approach is local search towards a heuristically defined objective, which specifies language fluency, semantic meanings, and other task-specific attributes. Search in the sentence space is realized by...
