Computational Approaches To Facilitate Automated Interchange Between Music And Art, Rao Hamza Ali
Computational Approaches To Facilitate Automated Interchange Between Music And Art, Rao Hamza Ali
Computational and Data Sciences (PhD) Dissertations
Recently, there has been a tremendous increase in generating and synthesizing music and art using various computational techniques. An area that is still under-researched, however, is how one medium can be converted into the other, while maintaining the overall aesthetics. Over the last few centuries, artists, composers, and scholars, have attempted to use substitute one form of art for the other: by proposing techniques where music notes are synonymous to colors, by inventing instruments that combine the aesthetics of music and visual art, and by incorporating the two media in live performances. A widely accepted computational approach, for the conversion, …

Enhancing Microbiome Host Disease Prediction With Variational Autoencoders, Celeste Manughian-Peter
Computational and Data Sciences (MS) Theses
Advancements in genetic sequencing methods for microbiomes in recent decades have permitted the collection of taxonomic and functional profiles of microbial communities, accelerating the discovery of the functional aspects of the microbiome and generating an increased interest among clinicians in applying these techniques with patients. This advancement has coincided with software and hardware improvements in the field of machine learning and deep learning. Combined, these advancements implicate further potential for progress in disease diagnosis and treatment in humans. The ability to classify a human microbiome profile into a disease category, and additionally identify the differentiating factors within the profile between …
Gaining Computational Insight Into Psychological Data: Applications Of Machine Learning With Eating Disorders And Autism Spectrum Disorder, Natalia Rosenfield
Gaining Computational Insight Into Psychological Data: Applications Of Machine Learning With Eating Disorders And Autism Spectrum Disorder, Natalia Rosenfield
Computational and Data Sciences (PhD) Dissertations
Over the past 100 years, assessment tools have been developed that allow us to explore mental and behavioral processes that could not be measured before. However, conventional statistical models used for psychological data are lacking in thoroughness and predictability. This provides a perfect opportunity to use machine learning to study the data in a novel way. In this paper, we present examples of using machine learning techniques with data in three areas: eating disorders, body satisfaction, and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). We explore clustering algorithms as well as virtual reality (VR).
Our first study employs the k-means clustering algorithm to …
