Deriving Human-Interpretable Insights From Tabular Data, Karthik Vijayakumar, Sukalyan Bhakat

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure describes techniques that enable group-level actions to be performed on entities identified as belonging to a group. First, the common characteristics of a given group of entities are automatically identified. The unique characteristics of a group that differentiate the group from the general population are then identified. An identified group of entities is expanded into the general population of entities. The described techniques find application in domains such as trend identification, and can be used for advertising, route planning, e-commerce, social media, policy enforcement in user-generated content (UGC), administering UGC appeals, etc. The techniques enable fast understanding of …


Large Language Model (Llm) Generated Personalized Mnemonics, Heidi Wong, Elissa Wolf Apr 2024

Large Language Model (Llm) Generated Personalized Mnemonics, Heidi Wong, Elissa Wolf

Defensive Publications Series

Mnemonic devices aid information retention and retrieval of information from long-term memory. The peculiarity of mnemonic devices makes them memorable. An example of a mnemonic device is "My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pies" that is helpful to remember the order of the planets in the solar system by distance from the sun. However, currently there are no automated ways of generating mnemonics, or to generate associated images that help remember the mnemonics. This disclosure leverages the capabilities of a large language model (LLM) and image generation model(s) to automatically generate mnemonics that can aid memory. A user …

Enhancing Heat Dissipation For Devices Placed On A Charging Speaker Dock, Gordon Dix, Olen Rasp, Farzam Sajed, Arun Raghupathy, Hsieh Duen Hsing

Defensive Publications Series

Handheld devices such as smartphones, tablets, etc. can be placed on a charger/speaker dock that provides battery charging and also enables enhanced audio output via speakers integrated into the dock. A device docked on the charging/speaker dock generates heat, which can trigger the slowdown or halting of charging and capping of the audio gain of the speaker. This disclosure describes techniques to improve heat dissipation and prevent overheating of a docked device by optimizing the geometry of the charger/speaker dock; optimizing the placement of heatsinks; optimizing the relative positions of the speaker, the printed circuit board, and the faceplate of …


Automatic Video Classification For Custom User Libraries Using A Language Model, D Shin Apr 2024

Automatic Video Classification For Custom User Libraries Using A Language Model, D Shin

Defensive Publications Series

Many video streaming platforms enable users to save videos into user-defined libraries for easy navigation, access, and future viewing. However, in current video streaming platforms, assigning a video to a library or playlist is a manual and time-consuming task. This disclosure describes the use of a language model and visual encoding techniques to automatically assign videos to custom user-defined libraries. The techniques leverage a visual language model and few-shot instruction tuning for video-to-library assignment. When a user initiates addition of a video to their account, metadata about the video are token-concatenate with per-library names or topics from the user’s video …

Demystifying Mysticism, Matthew Alexander Rae Apr 2024

Demystifying Mysticism, Matthew Alexander Rae

Religious Studies Student Scholarship

The title of my 2024 Academic Conference student presentation is “Demystifying Mysticism.” My work is based on my “Christian Mysticism” tutorial with Fr. John Gavin, S.J., in the Religious Studies Department. I studied Carmelite Mysticism in the Roman Catholic Christian tradition, and how it can be applied to the prayer life of every Catholic. The Carmelites are a Contemplative order of religious sisters and brothers who live lives devoted to active prayer to God, following the Blessed Virgin as the model of faith. My thesis is that the Carmelite tradition provides vocabulary and images in order to share the inexpressible, …

Are Students Actually Learning What You Think They Are? An Exploration Into The Educational Outcomes Of Course Based Undergraduate Research Labs, Matilda Dumaine, Jacob Saadoun Apr 2024

Are Students Actually Learning What You Think They Are? An Exploration Into The Educational Outcomes Of Course Based Undergraduate Research Labs, Matilda Dumaine, Jacob Saadoun

Biology Presentations

It is important to understand whether students are acquiring intended educational objectives. A course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) lab seeks to blend the logistical ease and accessibility of college courses with the educational benefits of research experiences. By employing inquiry-based teaching methods, CURE labs enable students to collaborate in a group setting under the guidance of a faculty member, engaging in hands-on research. This project studies how educational outcomes of CURE labs can be measured. CURE labs may improve anything from technical lab skills, to scientific literacy, to persistence in science. These short-, middle-, and long-term goals may be measured …


Charismatic Leadership And Vulnerability: A Comprehensive Study Of Cult Dynamics, Danielle Santana Denrich Apr 2024

Charismatic Leadership And Vulnerability: A Comprehensive Study Of Cult Dynamics, Danielle Santana Denrich

Psychology Presentations

The term "cult" has various definitions in academic discourse, including religious or quasi-religious groups and small, ideologically aligned communities. This paper explores the complexity of the term, its alternative labels, and the influence of media portrayal on public perception. It examines cult leaders' attributes, focusing on the "dark triad" personality traits—narcissism, machiavellianism, and psychopathy—and their manifestation in charismatic leaders. The functionality of cults is scrutinized, highlighting their appeal as a familial structure and promises of intellectual, spiritual, and political power. However, the darker side of cult functionality involves manipulative recruitment tactics and thought-stopping techniques. Additionally, the paper examines susceptibility to …

Nebraska Monthly Economic Indicators: April 24, 2024, Eric Thompson Apr 2024

Nebraska Monthly Economic Indicators: April 24, 2024, Eric Thompson

Leading Economic Indicator Reports

The Leading Economic Indicator-Nebraska fell by 1.31% in March 2024. The increase in the leading indicator, which is designed to predict economic growth six months into the future, followed a very rapid 3.97% increase in February. Taken together, the February and March values continue to imply strong growth in the Nebraska economy in mid-2024. A decline in building permits for single-family homes contributed to the drop in the LEI-N during March. There also was a decline in manufacturing hours worked after a sharp February increase. On the positive side, business expectations remained strong in March. Respondents to the March Survey …

Quantifying How Natural History Traits Contribute To Bias In Community Science Engagement: A Case Study Using Orbweaver Spiders, John Deitsch, Angela Chuang, David R. Nelsen, Michael Sitvarin, David Coyle Apr 2024

Quantifying How Natural History Traits Contribute To Bias In Community Science Engagement: A Case Study Using Orbweaver Spiders, John Deitsch, Angela Chuang, David R. Nelsen, Michael Sitvarin, David Coyle

Achieve

Online citizen science platforms can be crucial to the scientific and regulatory community, but inherent biases based on organism traits can influence the likelihood of a species being reported and accurately identified. We explored how traits of orb weaving spiders impact data in iNaturalist, using the invasive Jorō spider as a case study. This species is an outlier among orbweavers due to its large size and bright coloration, and was the most frequently reported species, with the most identifications and research-grade observations. It was also reported by less experienced users on average, highlighting its potential role as a gateway species …
