Who Are You? ...Honestly!, Zeinab Mahdavifar

TAC Talks

Online social media has made life easier in many ways. Stay in touch with old classmates (Facebook), find a way to connect to like-minded professionals all over the globe (LinkedIn), and even seek help from fellow humans we could never imagine otherwise to help us (Mechanical Turk)! Social network profiles are never complete. Ascertaining personality traits and accurate determination of age and gender can make such social networks safer and stronger instruments of true collaboration and human connection.

In my talk, I will discuss the predictive models we built with the Social Media group within the Center for Data Science …

Private Predictive Modeling Power, Stacey C. Newman

TAC Talks

The predictive potential of the many large datasets being held in healthcare, financial markets, social media, etc. by separate entities is locked behind privacy constraints. These separate entities either cannot share their data with one another or it is against their interests to do so. The ability to produce powerful predictive models that leverage knowledge from these different data sources is restrained by an inability to do so without revealing the data.

In my talk, I will outline our proposed protocol in which two different entities can build one of the most popular machine learning modules, a linear regression model …

Exploring Computer Graphics: Photorealistic And Non-Photorealistic Rendering, Brittany Chin

CLAS: Colby Liberal Arts Symposium

Over the course of the year, the Advanced Computer Graphics course has explored a variety of image rendering techniques starting with the basic filling of polygons, and working all the way up to non-photorealistic rendering techniques. I have implemented a variety of these techniques in projects which demonstrate the growth and advancements of graphics over time. The implementations that are featured are an interactive tile game, a curve editor, a ray-tracer, and a non-photorealistic project. The capabilities of computer graphics are seemingly endless, and it is getting easier and easier to model the real world in synthetic systems. Where will …

Graphics, Beatrice Liang

CLAS: Colby Liberal Arts Symposium

Here I show images generating using computer graphics methods ranging from green screen images to 3D models

3d Model Generation From Flat Images And Other Pretty Pictures, Matthew Levine

CLAS: Colby Liberal Arts Symposium

We present a novel method of generating 3D models from 2D images using neural network techniques. We also show a custom implementation of a global illumination model natively integrated into Python's standard 2D image library (with a fast C backend).

Trees And Non-Photorealistic Images, Christopher Burnham

CLAS: Colby Liberal Arts Symposium

Showing of a graphics system with some trees and non-photorealistic images.

A Look Into Graphics Engines And Non-Photorealistic Rendering, Margaux Leblanc

CLAS: Colby Liberal Arts Symposium

Throughout the year I have created a graphics pipeline that can render both photorealistic and non-photorealistic images. It all starts with defining what a pixel is and building from there. For instance, an image is a collection of pixels, a color is just three numbers (red, green, and blue values), a line is coloring certain pixels with such a color based on Bresenham's line algorithm and so on. My graphics engine can draw and shade points, lines, polylines, and polygons according to different algorithms. Using these basic shapes I can create photorealistic images of L-systems and non-photorealistic images of paintbrush …

Computer Graphics Presentation, Itrat Akhter

CLAS: Colby Liberal Arts Symposium

The aim of this poster presentation is to display the works that I did over two semester of computer graphics classes. As such, I will give a brief glimpse of the methods and images involving fractals, bezier curves and surfaces, hierarchical modeling, shading and lighting, particle systems and others.

Modeling Traffic At An Intersection, Kaleigh L. Mulkey, Saniita K. Fasenntao

Symposium of Student Scholars

The main purpose of this project is to build a mathematical model for traffic at a busy intersection. We use elements of Queueing Theory to build our model: the vehicles driving into the intersection are the “arrival process” and the stop light in the intersection is the “server.”

We collected traffic data on the number of vehicles arriving to the intersection, the duration of green and red lights, and the number of vehicles going through the intersection during a green light. We built a SAS macro code to simulate traffic based on parameters derived from the data.

In our program …
