Improving Implicit Communication In Remote Collaboration Through Augmented Reality And Digital Twins, Nicholas Levergne

LSU Master's Theses

Large scale digital twinning projects are beginning to emerge across the tech industry. Within these projects is a desire to integrate augmented reality capabilities into industrial workflows. However, research on augmented reality technology for remote collaboration lacks ecologically valid studies of real world scenarios. Additionally, prior remote collaboration literature is focused on white-collar applications instead of blue-collar field work. Prior AR collaboration software is similarly limited, with most software allowing mixed camera views and annotation that requires participants to be stationary. This thesis introduces SpectAR, an augmented reality and desktop remote collaboration software suite developed in Unreal Engine 5.1.1. SpectAR …

Numerous supervised learning models aimed at classifying 12-lead electrocardiograms into different groups have shown impressive performance by utilizing deep learning algorithms. However, few studies are dedicated to applying the Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) model in interpreting electrocardiogram (ECG) using natural language. Thus, we are pioneering the exploration of this uncharted territory by employing the CardioGPT model to tackle this challenge. We used a dataset of ECGs (standard 10s, 12-channel format) from adult patients, with 60 distinct rhythms or conduction abnormalities annotated by board-certified, actively practicing cardiologists. The ECGs were collected from The First Affiliated Hospital of Ningbo University and Shanghai …

Institute for ECHO Articles and Research

The recent decades have seen an increasing academic interest in leveraging machine learning approaches to nowcast, or forecast in a highly short-term manner, precipitation at a high resolution, given the limitations of the traditional numerical weather prediction models on this task. To capture the spatiotemporal associations of data on input variables, a deep learning (DL) architecture with the combination of a convolutional neural network and a recurrent neural network can be an ideal design for nowcasting rainfall. In this study, a long short-term memory (LSTM) modeling structure is proposed with convolutional operations on input variables. To resolve the issue of …


Update From Aristotle To Newton, From Sets To Fuzzy Sets, And From Sigmoid To Relu: What Do All These Transitions Have In Common?, Christian Servin, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich Apr 2024

Update From Aristotle To Newton, From Sets To Fuzzy Sets, And From Sigmoid To Relu: What Do All These Transitions Have In Common?, Christian Servin, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

In this paper, we show that there is a -- somewhat unexpected -- common trend behind several seemingly unrelated historic transitions: from Aristotelian physics to modern (Newton's) approach, from crisp sets (such as intervals) to fuzzy sets, and from traditional neural networks, with close-to-step-function sigmoid activation functions to modern successful deep neural networks that use a completely different ReLU activation function. In all these cases, the main idea of the corresponding transition can be explained, in mathematical terms, as going from the first order to second order differential equations.

The paper commences with a statistical analysis contrasting the actual use of LLMs in academic dishonesty with educator …


Mcfadden's Discrete Choice And Softmax Under Interval (And Other) Uncertainty: Revisited, Bartlomiej Jacek Kubica, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich Apr 2024

Mcfadden's Discrete Choice And Softmax Under Interval (And Other) Uncertainty: Revisited, Bartlomiej Jacek Kubica, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

Studies of how people actually make decisions have led to an empirical formula that predicts the probability of different decisions based on the utilities of different alternatives. This formula is known as McFadden's formula, after a Nobel prize winning economist who discovered it. A similar formula -- known as softmax -- describes the probability that the classification predicted by a deep neural network is correct, based on the neural network's degrees of confidence in the object belonging to each class. In practice, we usually do not know the exact values of the utilities -- or of the degrees of confidence. …


How To Gauge Inequality And Fairness: A Complete Description Of All Decomposable Versions Of Theil Index, Saeid Tizpaz-Niari, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich Apr 2024

How To Gauge Inequality And Fairness: A Complete Description Of All Decomposable Versions Of Theil Index, Saeid Tizpaz-Niari, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

In general, in statistics, the most widely used way to describe the difference between different elements of a sample if by using standard deviation. This characteristic has a nice property of being decomposable: e.g., to compute the mean and standard deviation of the income overall the whole US, it is sufficient to compute the number of people, mean, and standard deviation over each state; this state-by-state information is sufficient to uniquely reconstruct the overall standard deviation. However, e.g., for gauging income inequality, standard deviation is not very adequate: it provides too much weight to outliers like billionaires, and thus, does …


Paradox Of Causality And Paradoxes Of Set Theory, Alondra Baquier, Bradley Beltran, Gabriel Miki-Silva, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich Apr 2024

Paradox Of Causality And Paradoxes Of Set Theory, Alondra Baquier, Bradley Beltran, Gabriel Miki-Silva, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

Logical paradoxes show that human reasoning is not always fully captured by the traditional 2-valued logic, that this logic's extensions -- such as multi-valued logics -- are needed. Because of this, the study of paradoxes is important for research on multi-valued logics. In this paper, we focus on paradoxes of set theory. Specifically, we show their analogy with the known paradox of causality, and we use this analogy to come up with similar set-theoretic paradoxes.


Number Representation With Varying Number Of Bits, Anuradha Choudhury, Md Ahsanul Haque, Saeefa Rubaiyet Nowmi, Ahmed Ann Noor Ryen, Sabrina Saika, Vladik Kreinovich Apr 2024

Number Representation With Varying Number Of Bits, Anuradha Choudhury, Md Ahsanul Haque, Saeefa Rubaiyet Nowmi, Ahmed Ann Noor Ryen, Sabrina Saika, Vladik Kreinovich

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

In a computer, usually, all real numbers are stored by using the same number of bits: usually, 8 bytes, i.e., 64 bits. This amount of bits enables us to represent numbers with high accuracy -- up to 19 decimal digits. However, in most cases -- whether we process measurement results or whether we process expert-generated membership degrees -- we do not need that accuracy, so most bits are wasted. To save space, it is therefore reasonable to consider representations with varying number of bits. This would save space used for representing numbers themselves, but we would also need to store …

Using Known Relation Between Quantities To Make Measurements More Accurate And More Reliable, Niklas Winnewisser, Felix Mett, Michael Beer, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich Apr 2024

Using Known Relation Between Quantities To Make Measurements More Accurate And More Reliable, Niklas Winnewisser, Felix Mett, Michael Beer, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

Most of our knowledge comes, ultimately, from measurements and from processing measurement results. In this, metrology is very valuable: it teaches us how to gauge the accuracy of the measurement results and of the results of data processing, and how to calibrate the measuring instruments so as to reach the maximum accuracy. However, traditional metrology mostly concentrates on individual measurements. In practice, often, there are also relations between the current values of different quantities. For example, there is usually an known upper bound on the difference between the values of the same quantity at close moments of time or at …

Assessing The Usability And Feasibility Of Digital Assistant Tools For Direct Support Professionals: Participatory Design And Pilot-Testing, Patrice Dolhonde Tremoulet, Andrea Lobo, Christina A. Simmons, Ganesh Baliga, Matthew Brady

College of Science & Mathematics Departmental Research

Background: The United States is experiencing a direct support professional (DSP) crisis, with demand far exceeding supply. Although generating documentation is a critical responsibility, it is one of the most wearisome aspects of DSPs’ jobs. Technology that enables DSPs to log informal time-stamped notes throughout their shift could help reduce the burden of end-of-shift documentation and increase job satisfaction, which in turn could improve the quality of life of the individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs) whom DSPs support. However, DSPs, with varied ages, levels of education, and comfort using technology, are not likely to adopt tools that detract …


Somewhat Surprisingly, (Subjective) Fuzzy Technique Can Help To Better Combine Measurement Results And Expert Estimates Into A Model With Guaranteed Accuracy: Digital Twins And Beyond, Niklas Winnewisser, Michael Beer, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich Apr 2024

Somewhat Surprisingly, (Subjective) Fuzzy Technique Can Help To Better Combine Measurement Results And Expert Estimates Into A Model With Guaranteed Accuracy: Digital Twins And Beyond, Niklas Winnewisser, Michael Beer, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

To understand how different factors and different control strategies will affect a system -- be it a plant, an airplane, etc. -- it is desirable to form an accurate digital model of this system. Such models are known as digital twins. To make a digital twin as accurate as possible, it is desirable to incorporate all available knowledge of the system into this model. In many cases, a significant part of this knowledge comes in terms of expert statements, statements that are often formulated by using imprecise ("fuzzy") words from natural language such as "small", "very possible", etc. To translate …

Ct Image Segmentation Using Optimization Techniques Under Neutrosophic Domain, Doaa El-Shahat, Nourhan Talal, Jun Ye, Wen-Hua Cui Apr 2024

Ct Image Segmentation Using Optimization Techniques Under Neutrosophic Domain, Doaa El-Shahat, Nourhan Talal, Jun Ye, Wen-Hua Cui

Neutrosophic Systems with Applications

In this paper, we introduce a hybrid technique between optimization algorithms and neutrosophic theory. This new hybridization can deal with uncertainties in brain computed tomography (CT) images in three different memberships very effectively. To prove the real-time application of this theory, a new segmentation method for brain CT medical images is presented. The grayscale medical image suffers from uncertainties and inconsistencies in the gray levels due to their bad luminance. The proposed technique addressed this problem by performing neutrosophic operations on gray levels based on the S membership function.


How Difficult Is It To Comprehend A Program That Has Significant Repetitions: Fuzzy-Related Explanations Of Empirical Results, Christian Servin, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich Apr 2024

How Difficult Is It To Comprehend A Program That Has Significant Repetitions: Fuzzy-Related Explanations Of Empirical Results, Christian Servin, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

In teaching computing and in gauging the programmers' productivity, it is important to property estimate how much time it will take to comprehend a program. There are techniques for estimating this time, but these techniques do not take into account that some program segments are similar, and this similarity decreases the time needed to comprehend the second segment. Recently, experiments were performed to describe this decrease. These experiments found an empirical formula for the corresponding decrease. In this paper, we use fuzzy-related ideas to provide commonsense-based theoretical explanation for this empirical formula.

Why Bernstein Polynomials: Yet Another Explanation, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich Apr 2024

Why Bernstein Polynomials: Yet Another Explanation, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

In many computational situations -- in particular, in computations under interval or fuzzy uncertainty -- it is convenient to approximate a function by a polynomial. Usually, a polynomial is represented by coefficients at its monomials. However, in many cases, it turns out more efficient to represent a general polynomial by using a different basis -- of so-called Bernstein polynomials. In this paper, we provide a new explanation for the computational efficiency of this basis.
