Analysis Of Student Behavior And Score Prediction In Assistments Online Learning, Aswani Yaramala
Analysis Of Student Behavior And Score Prediction In Assistments Online Learning, Aswani Yaramala
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Fall 2023 to Present
Understanding and analyzing student behavior is paramount in enhancing online learning, and this thesis delves into the subject by presenting an in-depth analysis of student behavior and score prediction in the ASSISTments online learning platform. We used data from the EDM Cup 2023 Kaggle Competition to answer four key questions. First, we explored how students seeking hints and explanations affect their performance in assignments, shedding light on the role of guidance in learning. Second, we looked at the connection between students mastering specific skills and their performance in related assignments, giving insights into the effectiveness of curriculum alignment. Third, we …
Design Of Environment Aware Planning Heuristics For Complex Navigation Objectives, Carter D. Bailey
Design Of Environment Aware Planning Heuristics For Complex Navigation Objectives, Carter D. Bailey
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
A heuristic is the simplified approximations that helps guide a planner in deducing the best way to move forward. Heuristics are valued in many modern AI algorithms and decision-making architectures due to their ability to drastically reduce computation time. Particularly in robotics, path planning heuristics are widely leveraged to aid in navigation and exploration. As the robotic platform explores and navigates, information about the world can and should be used to augment and update the heuristic to guide solutions. Complex heuristics that can account for environmental factors, robot capabilities, and desired actions provide optimal results with little wasted exploration, but …

For many years, the global population of honey bees has been decreasing due to inconclusive reasons resulting in the syndrome Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). This syndrome has been plaguing bees and affecting commercial agriculture pollination since 1998. Many researchers have suggested that pesticides, in-hive chemicals, pathogens, etc., might be the causes of CCD. Researchers also believe that any changes in a beehive can disturb the bees, which may negatively affect their health. Honey bees are the most vital among all the animal pollinators contributing to approximately 30% of the world’s commercial pollination services. As they are of keystone importance to …
Feature Selection And Analysis For Standard Machine Learning Classification Of Audio Beehive Samples, Chelsi Gupta
Feature Selection And Analysis For Standard Machine Learning Classification Of Audio Beehive Samples, Chelsi Gupta
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The beekeepers need to inspect their hives regularly in order to protect them from various stressors. Manual inspection of hives require a lot of time and effort. Hence, many researchers have started using electronic beehive monitoring (EBM) systems to collect critical information from beehives, so as to alert the beekeepers of possible threats to the hive. EBM collects information by applying multiple sensors into the hive. The sensors collect information in the form of video, audio or temperature data from the hives.
This thesis involves the automatic classification of audio samples from a beehive into bee buzzing, cricket chirping and …
Standard Machine Learning Techniques In Audio Beehive Monitoring: Classification Of Audio Samples With Logistic Regression, K-Nearest Neighbor, Random Forest And Support Vector Machine, Prakhar Amlathe
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Honeybees are one of the most important pollinating species in agriculture. Every three out of four crops have honeybee as their sole pollinator. Since 2006 there has been a drastic decrease in the bee population which is attributed to Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). The bee colonies fail/ die without giving any traditional health symptoms which otherwise could help in alerting the Beekeepers in advance about their situation.
Electronic Beehive Monitoring System has various sensors embedded in it to extract video, audio and temperature data that could provide critical information on colony behavior and health without invasive beehive inspections. Previously, significant …

Knowledge Extraction In Video Through The Interaction Analysis Of Activities, Omar Ulises Florez
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
A video is a growing stream of unstructured data that significantly increases the amount of information transmitted and stored on the Internet. For example, every minute YouTube users upload 72 GB of information. Some of the best applications for video analysis include the monitoring of activities in defense and security scenarios such as the autonomous planes that collect video and images at reduced risk and the surveillance cameras in public places like traffic lights, airports, and schools.
Some of the challenges in the analysis of video correspond to implement complex operations such as searching of activities, understanding of scenes, and …
