Evaluating style modification in text
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
In this thesis, we identify best practices for evaluating style modification, or style transfer, for text. Research of style transfer is bottlenecked by a lack of standard evaluation practices. We define three key aspects ...
Methods for observational studies using data from massive open online courses
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
Measuring the effect of a course component in online classes present an opportunity to use propensity score methods. Propensity score methods aim to balance the effect of self-selecting biases and other confounding variables ...
Accurate characterization of nanophotonic grating structures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Augmented reality waveguides are designed to have grating regions to in-couple, out-couple, and propagate light from a light engine to the user. This thesis develops two reliable systems to qualify manufactured waveguides. ...
Applicability of deep learning approaches to non-convex optimization for trajectory-based policy search
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Trajectory optimization is a powerful tool for determining good control sequences for actuating dynamical systems. In the past decade, trajectory optimization has been successfully used to train and guide policy search ...
Learning about media Users from movie rating data
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
In this thesis, we study techniques of machine learning for media users who submitted movie ratings to the MovieLens dataset --- a project inspired by Sky UK's own business problems I encountered during my internship there. ...
A technical analysis of photogrammetry with reality capture
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Photogrammetry is a useful process to quickly and accurately create 3D assets. Although the aesthetic quality of a reconstructed 3D model is ultimately the most important factor, other factors like total reconstruction ...
Using intelligent load adjustment to find feasible power flows in emergency situations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Economic forces guide power generation and distribution in power grids. In natural disasters and other emergency scenarios transmission lines can become overloaded and fail or power companies may preemptively blackout ...
Automated attack tree generation and evaluation : systemization of knowledge
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
The large scale infrastructure that modern society is dependent on has become more and more dependent on the computer systems that control it. Examples like electrical grids, water systems, or power plants all contribute ...
The THRIFT parser
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
This thesis describes the thrift parsing algorithm, a new parsing algorithm that handles ambiguous grammars, is highly parallelizable, provides fine control over the structure of the output parse trees, and is easily ...
Adding audio clips functionality to TaleBlazer/
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
TaleBlazer is a platform for creating and playing mobile location-based augmented reality games. This thesis describes the design and implementation of audio clips functionality in the platform. Audio clips are recordings ...
