Leadership In River Stewards, Lyuba Benin

Blog Archive: River Reflections at the University of Dayton

The leadership aspect of River Stewards has become more apparent to me this semester as my cohort, and I have been planning our senior project with the Dakota Center. Brainstorming and organizing the project have put things in perspective and validated that mine and my cohort’s time in River Stewards will foster a meaningful relationship with the community of Dayton. How do we work with real community leaders? How can we honestly address the needs of the Dayton community? Ultimately, after some reflection, my working definition of leadership is being able to share your gifts and talents for the good …

How Do You See Yourself As A Leader In The River Stewards Program?, Natalie Yersavich

Blog Archive: River Reflections at the University of Dayton

Leadership and service have always been a big part of my life and even since I was a kid, I have tried to seek out as many opportunities to lead and serve as I can. When I first started at UD, these two ideals were the driving forces that inspired me to get involved on campus and in various groups. I found some opportunities to lead and serve in campus ministry and in my faith, but I wanted more. I wanted to reach a larger population, not just those in my residence hall or those who shared my faith.

Multi-Modal Mutual Information Maximization: A Novel Approach For Unsupervised Deep Cross-Modal Hashing, Tuan Hoang, Thanh-Toan Do, Tam V. Nguyen, Ngai-Man Cheung

Computer Science Faculty Publications

In this article, we adopt the maximizing mutual information (MI) approach to tackle the problem of unsupervised learning of binary hash codes for efficient cross-modal retrieval. We proposed a novel method, dubbed cross-modal info-max hashing (CMIMH). First, to learn informative representations that can preserve both intramodal and intermodal similarities, we leverage the recent advances in estimating variational lower bound of MI to maximizing the MI between the binary representations and input features and between binary representations of different modalities. By jointly maximizing these MIs under the assumption that the binary representations are modeled by multivariate Bernoulli distributions, we can learn …

Self-Reported Arm Function Is Associated With Stress And Fear Of Physical Activity Among Women Treated For Breast Cancer, Mary Insana Fisher, Anne Fleischer, Kimberly Ulmer, Megan Mcclure, Renee Waldron, Lynn Difede

Physical Therapy Faculty Publications

Background: Self-reported upper extremity function and objective measures are not strongly associated with each other in women treated for breast cancer (BC). It is not known if the lack of relationship between self-reported upper extremity function and objective measurements may be influenced by perceived levels of stress and fear of physical activity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between self-reported upper extremity function and the following: perceived stress levels (PS), fear of physical activity (FPA), health-related quality of life (HRQOL), and objective measures of upper extremity function among women treated for BC.

Methods: This cross-sectional observational …

Energy Efficiency Analysis In Residential Buildings Using Machine Learning Techniques, Vibhu Sharma

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Graduate Student Publications

Residential buildings account for a significant portion of global energy consumption, emphasizing the pressing need to optimize their energy efficiency. This paper proposes a novel approach utilizing advanced machine learning algorithms to accurately predict energy performance in residential buildings. Leveraging a dataset sourced from the UCI Machine Learning Repository, comprising diverse building shapes simulated in Ecotect with varying glazing areas, distributions, and orientations, our study aims to forecast critical real-valued responses pertaining to energy efficiency. Through meticulous preprocessing and feature engineering, coupled with state-of-the-art machine learning techniques such as Autogluon, PyCaret FLAML, and AutoSKLearn, our research demonstrates promising results, highlighting …
