Probing As A Technique To Understand Abstract Spaces, Ashlen A. Plasek Jun 2023

Probing As A Technique To Understand Abstract Spaces, Ashlen A. Plasek

Scholarly Horizons: University of Minnesota, Morris Undergraduate Journal

Machine learning models, while very powerful, have their operation obfuscated behind millions of parameters. This obfuscation can make deriving a human meaningful process from a machine learning model very difficult. However, while the intermediate states of a machine learning model are similarly obfuscated, using probing, we can start to explore looking at possible structure in those intermediate states. Large language models are a prime example of this obfuscation, and probing can begin to allow novel experimentation to be performed.


Applications Of Generative Adversarial Networks In Single Image Datasets, Dylan E. Cramer Mar 2023

Applications Of Generative Adversarial Networks In Single Image Datasets, Dylan E. Cramer

Scholarly Horizons: University of Minnesota, Morris Undergraduate Journal

One of the main difficulties faced in most generative machine learning models is how much data is required to train it, especially when collecting a large dataset is not feasible. Recently there have been breakthroughs in tackling this issue in SinGAN, with its researchers being able to train a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) on just a single image with a model that can perform many novel tasks, such as image harmonization. ConSinGAN is a model that builds upon this work by concurrently training several stages in a sequential multi-stage manner while retaining the ability to perform those novel tasks.


Atmospheric Contrail Detection With A Deep Learning Algorithm, Nasir Siddiqui Jul 2020

Atmospheric Contrail Detection With A Deep Learning Algorithm, Nasir Siddiqui

Scholarly Horizons: University of Minnesota, Morris Undergraduate Journal

Aircraft contrail emission is widely believed to be a contributing factor to global climate change. We have used machine learning techniques on images containing contrails in hopes of being able to identify those which contain contrails and those that do not. The developed algorithm processes data on contrail characteristics as captured by long-term image records. Images collected by the United States Department of Energy’s Atmospheric Radiation Management user facility(ARM) were used to train a deep convolutional neural network for the purpose of this contrail classification. The neural network model was trained with 1600 images taken by the Total Sky Imager(TSI) …


Identifying Twitter Spam By Utilizing Random Forests, Humza S. Haider Jul 2017

Identifying Twitter Spam By Utilizing Random Forests, Humza S. Haider

Scholarly Horizons: University of Minnesota, Morris Undergraduate Journal

The use of Twitter has rapidly grown since the first tweet in 2006. The number of spammers on Twitter shows a similar increase. Classifying users into spammers and non-spammers has been heavily researched, and new methods for spam detection are developing rapidly. One of these classification techniques is known as random forests. We examine three studies that employ random forests using user based features, geo-tagged features, and time dependent features. Each study showed high accuracy rates and F-measures with the exception of one model that had a test set with a more realistic proportion of spam relative to typical testing …
