In this dissertation, I propose a novel framework for performing semantic autograding, which analyzes student programs at a semantic level to help students learn with additional and systematic help. A general autograder is not practical for general programming languages, due to the flexibility of semantics. A practical autograder is possible in VIPLE, because of its simplified syntax and restricted options of semantics. The design of this autograder is based on the concept of theorem provers. To achieve this goal, I employ a modified version of Pi-Calculus to represent VIPLE programs and Hoare Logic to formalize program requirements. By building on the inference rules of Pi-Calculus and Hoare Logic, I am able to construct a theorem prover that can perform automated semantic analysis. Furthermore, building on this theorem prover enables me to develop a self-learning algorithm that can learn the conditions for a program’s correctness according to a given solution program.
uses an infrared camera to capture and detect the user’s face position and orient the
display accordingly. The second method utilizes gyroscopic and accelerometer data
as input to a machine learning model to classify correct and incorrect rotations.
Experiments show that these new methods achieve an overall success rate of 67%
for the first and 92% for the second which reaches a new high for this performance
category. The paper also discusses logistical and legal reasons for implementing this
feature into an end-user product from a business perspective. Lastly, the monetary
incentive behind a feature like irRotate in a consumer device and explore related
patents is discussed.
Moreover, most of these recommender systems suffer from the cold-start problems where insufficient data for new users or products results in reduced overall recommendation output. In the current study, we have built a recommender system to recommend movies to users. Biclustering algorithm is used to cluster the users and movies simultaneously at the beginning to generate explainable recommendations, and these biclusters are used to form a gridworld where Q-Learning is used to learn the policy to traverse through the grid. The reward function uses the Jaccard Index, which is a measure of common users between two biclusters. Demographic details of new users are used to generate recommendations that solve the cold-start problem too.
Lastly, the implemented algorithm is examined with a real-world dataset against the widely used recommendation algorithm and the performance for the cold-start cases.
For my Honors Thesis, I decided to create an Artificial Intelligence Project to predict Fantasy NFL Football Points of players and team's defense. I created a Tensorflow Keras AI Regression model and created a Flask API that holds the AI model, and a Django Try-It Page for the user to use the model. These services are hosted on ASU's AWS service. In my Flask API, it actively gathers data from Pro-Football-Reference, then calculates the fantasy points. Let’s say the current year is 2022, then the model analyzes each player and trains on all data from available from 2000 to 2020 data, tests the data on 2021 data, and predicts for 2022 year. The Django Website asks the user to input the current year, then the user clicks the submit button runs the AI model, and the process explained earlier. Next, the user enters the player's name for the point prediction and the website predicts the last 5 rows with 4 being the previous fantasy points and the 5th row being the prediction.
