Flow Choice Architecture: Cognitive Augmentation Of Knowledge Workers, Troy Ricardo Weekes Dec 2021

Flow Choice Architecture: Cognitive Augmentation Of Knowledge Workers, Troy Ricardo Weekes

Theses and Dissertations

The Flow Choice Architecture (FCA) is a biofeedback-based behavior modification tool that was designed for operation by human knowledge workers (KWs) before, during, and after the performance of work tasks. FCA utilizes human-aware artificial intelligence (AI) that senses patterns in its operator’s bio-signals to derive their cognitive and affective states. The states are contextualized using relevant information about the operator, task, and work timeline. The contextualized operator states are then used to recommend effective nudges that orient the human KW towards the flow state. This dissertation outlines the state-of-the-art on flow, neurofeedback, and AI then explains how FCA was designed, …


Forecasting Sep Events Based On Merged Cme Catalogs Using Machine Learning, Peter William Tarsoly Dec 2021

Forecasting Sep Events Based On Merged Cme Catalogs Using Machine Learning, Peter William Tarsoly

Theses and Dissertations

The lack of preparation for a Solar Energetic Particle (SEP) event may be catastrophic for astronauts and aircraft passengers alike, along with their electronic equipment. It is widely theorized that SEP events are caused by Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs), some occurring up to a full day beforehand, accompanied by additional space weather conditions. The only significant models for SEP forecasting are statistically or machine learning-based, often developed on imprecise data. We present an enhanced catalog of CMEs, along with other space weather phenomena, and their relationship with the occurrence of SEP events. Using the enhanced CME catalog, we combine machine …


Smart Glasses Assisting Visually-Impaired People, Ali Delham Algarni Dec 2021

Smart Glasses Assisting Visually-Impaired People, Ali Delham Algarni

Theses and Dissertations

Smart Glasses Assisting Visually-Impaired artificial intelligence system providing speech recognition, object recognition, face recognition, and distance to all features for visually impaired people's enhanced (daily) autonomy. Smart Glasses Assisting Visually-Impaired People is a new integrative process that combines as such, the invention is both a further use of the technologies supporting the features listed above and an improvement to the overall activities carried out by visually impaired people in their daily lives activities such as: providing vocal commands, being able to read text, being able to receive spoken information about various objects in their surroundings, being aware of their location …
