Smarter Repositories—Leveraging Ai And Apis To Power Institutional Knowledge, Nicole Bentinganan

Medical Institutional Repositories in Libraries (MIRL) Symposium

Institutional repositories (IRs) are vital tools for preserving and showcasing the intellectual output of healthcare organizations, yet they often struggle to keep pace with the volume and complexity of modern research. This presentation explores how a librarian-led initiative is reimagining the IR as a dynamic, accessible, and strategic resource. By integrating automated harvesting and metadata enhancement tools, the repository supports more efficient collection, organization, and discovery of institutional publications—without placing undue burden on library staff or researchers.

The Radical Middle: Caregiver Beliefs About Language Access For Deaf And Hard Of Hearing Children, Monica Zmudzinski, Krystal L. Werfel

Journal of Early Hearing Detection and Intervention

The purpose of this study was to explore the communication choices of caregivers of deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) children. Specifically, we explored what communication options caregivers were presented with, identify what factors impacted a caregiver’s decision to pursue spoken language, and identify what barriers exist to learning sign language. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 20 caregivers of DHH children who had decision making power at the time of their child’s diagnosis. Transcripts were coded using an inductive approach with triangulation between authors. Many families reported that minimal to no information was provided about communication options at the time …

Automatically Displaying Contextually Relevant Information In Response To Gesture Input On Displayed Content, Cliff Kuang

Defensive Publications Series

Obtaining information related to content viewed from a device currently requires users to engage in burdensome actions such as asking questions to an AI assistant or specifying a search query, both of which require the user to provide the context for their query. This disclosure describes a simple gesture-based user interface that helps users satisfy information needs from content they view. When the user performs a gesture, a prompt is automatically provided to a large language model (LLM) to generate relevant answers. With user permission, the LLM uses the user's current content and profile information to create personalized answers and/or …

Enhancing Recommendation Performance Via Stacking Ensemble And Synthetic Data Augmentation, Zahraa Yaareb Hani, Mohsin Hasan Hussein

Karbala International Journal of Modern Science

Recommendation systems are essential tools that primarily aim to help users navigate through a large volume of information. They simplify the decision-making process by suggesting relevant items based on users’ historical behaviour. However, their performance is often affected by common problems such as data sparsity. This work proposes a stacking-based ensemble recommendation system that integrates multiple machine learning models to enhance the model’s predictive performance. A new synthetic data augmentation technique is introduced to address the sparsity issue in the user–item rating matrix. This method uses the Naïve Bayes algorithm to predict additional ratings for each user. These are then …

Sync, Lauren Brown

Honors Theses

The goal of my thesis is to develop an efficient way for dance professionals to network with each other. The dance industry is saturated with talent; therefore, relationships are key to booking jobs. Relationships connect mentors and collaborative spaces that lead to consistent and long-term growth. Dancers enter the professional industry with limited experience. The financial pressure to afford the living costs in dance hub cities like New York and Los Angeles often requires dancers to work multiple jobs. Balancing multiple jobs causes dancers to struggle to find time and opportunities to network meaningfully. Thus, the core problem is when, …

Navigating Structure, Function, And Stability: Bridging Immunotherapy And Protein Engineering In The Era Of Machine Learning, Christopher J. Haynie

Theses and Dissertations

The immune system is a remarkably adaptive network, yet it often fails to function optimally due to evasion strategies of pathogens or mutated cells. Many of these evasion strategies involve alterations in protein expression and function. Protein design is an area of computational biology with potential applications in improving protein function and therapeutic protein engineering. This thesis explores methods to enhance immune function and protein design across multiple scales, from molecular engineering of antibody fragments and chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) to cellular immune responses, and computational approaches for protein structure optimization. We characterize Thymidine Kinase 1-specific single-chain antibodies, highlighting both …
