Exact X2 Statistic Critical Values For Dice Fairness Testing, Warren Campbell Jul 2026

Exact X2 Statistic Critical Values For Dice Fairness Testing, Warren Campbell

SEAS Faculty Publications

Two questions were addressed: 1) What are the exact values of the c2 statistic critical values? 2. Does a dice tower offer improved fairness of dice rolls?  Critical values of the statistic asymptotically approach those given by the continuous chi-square distribution, but the exact distribution is discrete.  The exact distributions only asymptotically approach the chi-square distribution, and the convergence is slow (1/number of rolls).  Th exact distributions are a function of the number of rolls, the chi-square distribution is not a function of the number of rolls.  Exact values of c2 at the 90, 95, and 99 percent …

Numerical Range Of Rank-1 Partial Isometries And Elliptical Range Theorem, Lucas Saone Jul 2026

Numerical Range Of Rank-1 Partial Isometries And Elliptical Range Theorem, Lucas Saone

Theses

The Elliptical Range Theorem states that the numerical range of a 2x2 complex matrix A is an elliptical disc with foci at the eigenvalues of A and center at tr(A)/2. Many proofs have been offered for this theorem. In this paper, we provide another one. The strategy we will use is to decompose the matrix A into the sum of rank-1 operators of the form YxX*, where X and Y are in 2-D complex vectors. When analyzing the numerical range of a rank-1 operator of this form, three results can happen: i) the numerical range forms a disc at the …

Prediction Of Satellite Temperature During An Orbit Of A Cubesat, Michael Reynolds Jul 2026

Prediction Of Satellite Temperature During An Orbit Of A Cubesat, Michael Reynolds

Honors Theses

This thesis develops a thermal-simulation strategy for predicting CubeSat component temperatures, applied to Jag-Sat-1, a CubeSat developed at the University of South Alabama and deployed from the International Space Station in 2022. The orbit was reconstructed from two-line element (TLE) data using simplified general perturbations (SGP4) propagation, and spacecraft attitude was recovered from onboard gyroscope measurements. Sunlight, penumbra, and umbra intervals were computed geometrically, and the external radiative environment — direct solar, Earth infrared, and albedo heat fluxes — was modeled using orientation-dependent view factors. These time-varying fluxes drove a transient finite-element thermal simulation of the full satellite geometry in …

Fixed-Parameter Extrapolation And Aperiodic Order, Stephen Fenner, Frederic Green, Steven Homer Jul 2026

Fixed-Parameter Extrapolation And Aperiodic Order, Stephen Fenner, Frederic Green, Steven Homer

Mathematics

Fix any λ∈C. We say that a set S⊆C is λ-convex if, whenever a and b are in S, the point (1-λ)a+λb is also in S. We investigate the properties of λ-convex sets and their (topological) closures, and we prove a number of facts about them. Let Qλ⊆C be the least λ-convex superset of {0,1}. Generalizing results of R. G. E. Pinch, we give a sufficient condition on λ for Qλ and some other related λ-convex sets to be discrete by introducing the notion of a strong PV number. These conditions give rise to a number of periodic and aperiodic …

Synoptic Conditions Favoring Tropical Cyclone-Enhanced Southwest Monsoon High Precipitation Events In The Philippines, Alwin Andriel L. Bathan, Lyndon Mark P. Olaguera, Faye Abigail T. Cruz, Jose Ramon T. Villarin, John A. Manalo, Jun Matsumoto Jul 2026

Synoptic Conditions Favoring Tropical Cyclone-Enhanced Southwest Monsoon High Precipitation Events In The Philippines, Alwin Andriel L. Bathan, Lyndon Mark P. Olaguera, Faye Abigail T. Cruz, Jose Ramon T. Villarin, John A. Manalo, Jun Matsumoto

SOSE Affiliate: Manila Observatory

The interaction of tropical cyclones (TCs) with the southwest monsoon frequently causes heavy precipitation events (HPEs) and widespread flooding across the Philippines. Despite their substantial socio-economic impacts, the synoptic conditions that favor these events remain insufficiently understood, underscoring the need for systematic investigation to help improve forecasting and risk assessment. Lag composite analysis of daily rainfall records and reanalysis data from July to September for the period 1981–2023 shows that HPEs are more likely to occur when: (1) enhanced monsoon westerlies are present over the tropical Indian Ocean for at least nine days before the HPE, (2) a TC passes …

It's All In The (Exponential) Family: An Equivalence Between Maximum Likelihood Estimation And Control Variates For Sketching Algorithms, Keegan Kang, Kerong Wang, Ding Zhang, Rameshwar Pratap, Bhisham Dev Verma, Benedict Wong Jul 2026

It's All In The (Exponential) Family: An Equivalence Between Maximum Likelihood Estimation And Control Variates For Sketching Algorithms, Keegan Kang, Kerong Wang, Ding Zhang, Rameshwar Pratap, Bhisham Dev Verma, Benedict Wong

Faculty Conference Papers and Presentations

Maximum likelihood estimators (MLE) and control variate estimators (CVE) have been used in conjunction with known information across sketching algorithms and applications in machine learning. We prove that under certain conditions in an exponential family, an optimal CVE will achieve the same asymptotic variance as the MLE, giving a fixed point algorithm for the MLE. Experiments show the fixed point algorithm is faster and numerically stable compared to other root finding algorithms for the MLE for the bivariate Normal distribution, and we expect this to hold across distributions satisfying these conditions. We show how this algorithm leads to reproducibility for …

Larger Is Not Always Better: Exploring Small Open-Source Language Models In Logging Statement Generation, Renyi Zhong, Yichen Li, Guangba Yu, Wenwei Gu, Jinxi Kuang, Yintong Huo, Michael R. Lyu Jul 2026

Larger Is Not Always Better: Exploring Small Open-Source Language Models In Logging Statement Generation, Renyi Zhong, Yichen Li, Guangba Yu, Wenwei Gu, Jinxi Kuang, Yintong Huo, Michael R. Lyu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Developers use logging statements to create logs that document system behavior and aid in software maintenance. As such, high-quality logging is essential for effective maintenance; however, manual logging often leads to errors and inconsistency. Recent methods emphasize using large language models (LLMs) for automated logging statement generation, but these present privacy and resource issues, hindering their suitability for enterprise use. This paper presents the first large-scale empirical study evaluating small open-source language models (SOLMs) for automated logging statement generation. We evaluate four prominent SOLMs using various prompt strategies and parameter-efficient fine-tuning techniques, such as Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Android applications (i.e., apps) are indispensable nowadays and are getting bigger and bigger with an increasing number offunctionalities. To understand how to access functionalities in an app, prior studies proposed tools to model the transitionsbetween functionalities with the activity transition graph (ATG). ATG is an important data structure and has been used forvarious Android app analyses, including app design, understanding, and testing. However, there is no benchmarking work onATG generation. It is still unclear whether the transitions identified by tools are correct and how many transitions are missed.To fill this gap, we manually identified all transitions in 98 applications to …

Constrained Assortment Optimization Under The Mixed-Logit Model, Hoang Giang Pham, Tien Mai Jul 2026

Constrained Assortment Optimization Under The Mixed-Logit Model, Hoang Giang Pham, Tien Mai

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

In this paper, we study the assortment optimization problem under the mixed-logit customer choice model. While assortment optimization has been a central topic in revenue management for decades, the mixed-logit model is widely regarded as one of the most general and flexible frameworks for modeling and predicting customer purchasing behavior. The assortment optimization problem is known to be NP-hard to be approximated to any constant factor, even in the unconstrained case. To address this challenge, we first explore the submodularity properties of a simplified version of the objective function to derive novel semi-constant factor approximation solutions for assortment problems under …

Multimodal Contrastive Spatiotemporal Self-Organizing Neural Networks For In-Home Activity Learning Of Mild Cognitive Impairment, Seng Khoon Teh, Ah-Hwee Tan, Kar Way Tan, Iris Rawtaer

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

In-home spatiotemporal data, such as the movement trajectory data and the spatial time series data, contains potential predictive utility for detection of geriatric conditions including Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), frailty, and cognitive frailty. However, few have explored spatiotemporal learning models for learning and fusion of such disparate spatiotemporal data, owing to the lack of a generalized machine learning model that can jointly model these different spatiotemporal data types. This work reports a multimodal spatiotemporal machine learning model based on a class of self-organizing neural networks that can integrate different spatiotemporal data types for MCI detection. Specifically, Episodic Memory Adaptive Resonance …

Beyond Hard Constraints: Budget-Conditioned Reachability For Safe Offline Reinforcement Learning, Brahmanage Janaka Chathuranga Thilakarathna, Akshat Kumar Jul 2026

Beyond Hard Constraints: Budget-Conditioned Reachability For Safe Offline Reinforcement Learning, Brahmanage Janaka Chathuranga Thilakarathna, Akshat Kumar

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Sequential decision-making using Markov Decision Process underpins many real-world applications. Both model-based and model-free methods have achieved strong results in these settings. However, real-world tasks must balance reward maximization with safety constraints, often conflicting objectives, that can lead to unstable min–max, adversarial optimization. A promising alternative is safety reachability analysis, which precomputes a forward-invariant safe state–action set, ensuring that an agent starting inside this set remains safe indefinitely. Yet, most reachability-based methods address only hard safety constraints, and little work extends reachability to cumulative cost constraints. To address this, first, we define a safety-conditioned reachability set that decouples reward maximization …

Co-Matching: Towards Human–Model Collaborative Legal Case Matching, Chen Huang, Xinwei Yang, Yang Deng, Wenqiang Lei, Jiancheng Lv, Tat-Seng Chua Jul 2026

Co-Matching: Towards Human–Model Collaborative Legal Case Matching, Chen Huang, Xinwei Yang, Yang Deng, Wenqiang Lei, Jiancheng Lv, Tat-Seng Chua

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Recent efforts have aimed to improve AI models in legal case matching by integrating legal domain knowledge. However, successful legal case matching requires the tacit knowledge of legal practitioners, which is difficult to verbalize and encode into models. This emphasizes the crucial role of involving legal practitioners in high-stakes legal case matching. To address this, we propose a collaborative matching framework called Co-Matching, which encourages both the model and the legal practitioner to participate in the matching process, integrating tacit knowledge. Unlike existing methods that rely solely on the model, Co-Matching allows both the legal practitioner and the model to …

New Algorithms For Fully-Dynamic K-Center With Outliers, Junyu Huang, Zhize Li, Zhen Zhang, Xujia Li, Jianxin Wang, Qilong Feng Jul 2026

New Algorithms For Fully-Dynamic K-Center With Outliers, Junyu Huang, Zhize Li, Zhen Zhang, Xujia Li, Jianxin Wang, Qilong Feng

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

In this paper, we study the fully dynamic k-center with outliers problem, where points are inserted and deleted over time and the goal is to maintain an approximate clustering while discarding up to z outliers. Existing algorithms typically rely on radius guessing to maintain cluster representations, leading to update and query times that depend explicitly on the aspect ratio Δ. We propose a layered-sampling framework that avoids radius guessing by maintaining a hierarchy of sampled structures, which can separate most inliers from potential outliers and refine the remaining uncertain points. The resulting algorithm achieves Õ(k²/ε⁴) update and query time independent …

Impacts Of Climate Hazards On Employment And Earnings By Hazard Type, Industry, Race, And Ethnicity, Dania V. Francis, Keren M. Horn Jul 2026

Impacts Of Climate Hazards On Employment And Earnings By Hazard Type, Industry, Race, And Ethnicity, Dania V. Francis, Keren M. Horn

Sustainable Solutions Lab

We examine the relationship between climate-related disasters and subsequent county-level aggregate employment and earnings. We combine earnings and employment data from 2000 to 2023 with data on disasters to estimate local projection impulse response functions relating extreme disaster events to cumulative percent changes in employment and earnings. On average, disasters appear to reduce employment growth three to five years post disaster. There are small positive impacts on earnings. These results are largely driven by responses to hurricanes and tropical storms. Key rebuilding industries such as construction see short-term gains in employment that turn to losses in the longer-term that are …

Research On Temporal Action Localization Methods For Cross-Modal Understanding, Jinwei Li, Xiaoyang Liu, Rusheng Ju Jul 2026

Research On Temporal Action Localization Methods For Cross-Modal Understanding, Jinwei Li, Xiaoyang Liu, Rusheng Ju

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: To address the problems of insufficient localization accuracy and high model complexity in the temporal action localization (TAL) task for video-text cross-modal understanding, an anchor-free action transformer (AFAT) model was proposed. Based on the anchor-free framework, the local self-attention mechanism of Transformer was introduced to enhance the global modeling capability of temporal features. A multi-scale feature pyramid structure was combined to strengthen the representation of actions with different durations, and a lightweight predictor was adopted to reduce computational redundancy. Experimental results show that the average precision of this model on the THUMOS14 dataset is significantly improved compared with the …
