(Meta-)Physical Artworks: Digital Augmentation In Art Observation, Macy A. Toppan
(Meta-)Physical Artworks: Digital Augmentation In Art Observation, Macy A. Toppan
Dartmouth College Master’s Theses
Augmented art— the subgenre of art that incorporates physical and digital artwork— is a rapidly growing field driven by advancing technology and a new generation for whom that tech is a given. Yet the presence of media like augmented and virtual reality in exhibition remains a controversial subject. Rather than focusing on the many theoretical debates about whether digital pieces can qualify as "good" art, we study it in practice through the eyes of the casual art observer. This paper highlights the audience in a within-participant study that asked viewers to take in a physical sculpture intentionally built with virtual …
Self-Supervised Pretraining And Transfer Learning On Fmri Data With Transformers, Sean Paulsen
Self-Supervised Pretraining And Transfer Learning On Fmri Data With Transformers, Sean Paulsen
Dartmouth College Ph.D Dissertations
Transfer learning is a machine learning technique founded on the idea that knowledge acquired by a model during “pretraining” on a source task can be transferred to the learning of a target task. Successful transfer learning can result in improved performance, faster convergence, and reduced demand for data. This technique is particularly desirable for the task of brain decoding in the domain of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), wherein even the most modern machine learning methods can struggle to decode labelled features of brain images. This challenge is due to the highly complex underlying signal, physical and neurological differences between …
Interpretable Learning In Multivariate Big Data Analysis For Network Monitoring, José Camacho, Rasmus Bro, David Kotz
Interpretable Learning In Multivariate Big Data Analysis For Network Monitoring, José Camacho, Rasmus Bro, David Kotz
Dartmouth Scholarship
There is an increasing interest in the development of new data-driven models useful to assess the performance of communication networks. For many applications, like network monitoring and troubleshooting, a data model is of little use if it cannot be interpreted by a human operator. In this paper, we present an extension of the Multivariate Big Data Analysis (MBDA) methodology, a recently proposed interpretable data analysis tool. In this extension, we propose a solution to the automatic derivation of features, a cornerstone step for the application of MBDA when the amount of data is massive. The resulting network monitoring approach allows …
Towards A Computational Model Of Narrative On Social Media, Anne Bailey
Towards A Computational Model Of Narrative On Social Media, Anne Bailey
Dartmouth College Undergraduate Theses
This thesis describes a variety of approaches to developing a computational model of narrative on social media. Our goal is to use such a narrative model to identify efforts to manipulate public opinion on social media platforms like Twitter. We present a model in which narratives in a collection of tweets are represented as a graph. Elements from each tweet that are relevant to potential narratives are made into nodes in the graph; for this thesis, we populate graph nodes with tweets’ authors, hashtags, named entities (people, locations, organizations, etc.,), and moral foundations (central moral values framing the discussion). Two …
Automated Filament Inking For Multi-Color Fff 3d Printing, Eammon Littler
Automated Filament Inking For Multi-Color Fff 3d Printing, Eammon Littler
Dartmouth College Master’s Theses
We propose a novel system for low-cost multi-color Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) 3D printing, allowing for the creation of customizable colored filament using a pre-processing approach. We developed an open-source device to automatically ink filament using permanent markers. Our device can be built using 3D printed parts and off-the-shelf electronics. An accompanying web-based interface allows users to view GCODE toolpaths for a multi-color print and quickly generate filament color profiles. Taking a pre-processing approach makes this system compatible with the majority of desktop 3D printers on the market, as the processed filament behaves no differently from conventional filaments. Furthermore, inked …
Identifying Optimal Course Structures Using Topic Models, Tehut Tesfaye Biru
Identifying Optimal Course Structures Using Topic Models, Tehut Tesfaye Biru
Dartmouth College Undergraduate Theses
This research project investigates whether there exists an optimal way to structure topics in educational course content that results in higher levels of engagement among students. It is implemented by fitting topic models to transcripts of educational videos contained in the Khan Academy platform. The fitted models were used to extract topic trajectories across time for each video and subsequently clustered based on whether they have similar “shapes”. The differences in mean engagement metrics per cluster suggest that some course shapes are more palatable to students regardless of subject matter. Additionally, the topic trajectories suggest a constant progression of topics …
A Configurable Social Network For Running Irb-Approved Experiments, Mihovil Mandic
A Configurable Social Network For Running Irb-Approved Experiments, Mihovil Mandic
Dartmouth College Undergraduate Theses
Our world has never been more connected, and the size of the social media landscape draws a great deal of attention from academia. However, social networks are also a growing challenge for the Institutional Review Boards concerned with the subjects’ privacy. These networks contain a monumental variety of personal information of almost 4 billion people, allow for precise social profiling, and serve as a primary news source for many users. They are perfect environments for influence operations that are becoming difficult to defend against. Motivated to study online social influence via IRB-approved experiments, we designed and implemented a flexible, scalable, …
Interpreting Attention-Based Models For Natural Language Processing, Steven J. Signorelli Jr
Interpreting Attention-Based Models For Natural Language Processing, Steven J. Signorelli Jr
Dartmouth College Undergraduate Theses
Large pre-trained language models (PLMs) such as BERT and XLNet have revolutionized the field of natural language processing (NLP). The interesting thing is that they are pre- trained through unsupervised tasks, so there is a natural curiosity as to what linguistic knowledge these models have learned from only unlabeled data. Fortunately, these models’ architectures are based on self-attention mechanisms, which are naturally interpretable. As such, there is a growing body of work that uses attention to gain insight as to what linguistic knowledge is possessed by these models. Most attention-focused studies use BERT as their subject, and consequently the field …
Impulse Method For Shallow Water Simulation, Evan Muscatel
Impulse Method For Shallow Water Simulation, Evan Muscatel
Dartmouth College Undergraduate Theses
The Shallow Water Equations is a simple method to simulate fluid in real-time. As a real-time model, the SWE is an excellent candidate for use in video games. However, the model is not often used in most fluid simulations because it does not preserve vorticity well, and therefore does not look very realistic. We present an improvement on the Shallow Water Equations by using a gauge method to preserve the vorticity of the fluid. We add a variable called impulse !, which is only weakly coupled with the velocity " of the simulation. We show that using this impulse method, …
Analyses And Creation Of Author Stylized Text, Keith Carlson
Analyses And Creation Of Author Stylized Text, Keith Carlson
Dartmouth College Ph.D Dissertations
Written text is one of the major ways that humans communicate their thoughts. A single thought can be expressed through many different combinations of words, and the writer must choose which they will use. We call the idea which is communicated the content of the message, and the particular words chosen to express the content, the style. The same content expressed in a different style may tell something useful about the author of the text (e.g., the author's identity), may be easier to understand for different audiences, or may evoke different emotions in the reader.
In this work we explore …
Detection Of Health-Related Behaviours Using Head-Mounted Devices, Shengjie Bi
Detection Of Health-Related Behaviours Using Head-Mounted Devices, Shengjie Bi
Dartmouth College Ph.D Dissertations
The detection of health-related behaviors is the basis of many mobile-sensing applications for healthcare and can trigger other inquiries or interventions. Wearable sensors have been widely used for mobile sensing due to their ever-decreasing cost, ease of deployment, and ability to provide continuous monitoring. In this dissertation, we develop a generalizable approach to sensing eating-related behavior.
First, we developed Auracle, a wearable earpiece that can automatically detect eating episodes. Using an off-the-shelf contact microphone placed behind the ear, Auracle captures the sound of a person chewing as it passes through the head. This audio data is then processed by a …
Towards Effective Delivery Of Digital Interventions For Mental And Behavioral Health, Varun Mishra
Towards Effective Delivery Of Digital Interventions For Mental And Behavioral Health, Varun Mishra
Dartmouth College Ph.D Dissertations
The pervasiveness of sensor-rich mobile, wearable, and IoT devices has enabled researchers to passively sense various user traits and characteristics, which in turn have the potential to detect and predict different mental and behavioral health outcomes. Upon detecting or anticipating a negative outcome, the same devices can be used to deliver in-the-moment interventions and support to help users. One important factor that determines the effectiveness of digital health interventions is delivering them at the right time: (1) when a person needs support, i.e., at or before the onset of a negative outcome, or a psychological or contextual state that might …

Dartmouth Scholarship
Background: Asthma is one of the most prevalent chronic respiratory diseases. Despite increased investment in treatment, little progress has been made in the early recognition and treatment of asthma exacerbations over the last decade. Nocturnal cough monitoring may provide an opportunity to identify patients at risk for imminent exacerbations. Recently developed approaches enable smartphone-based cough monitoring. These approaches, however, have not undergone longitudinal overnight testing nor have they been specifically evaluated in the context of asthma. Also, the problem of distinguishing partner coughs from patient coughs when two or more people are sleeping in the same room using contact-free audio …
