Learning task-specific similarity
… which tends to depend on the underlying task. We develop an algorithmic approach to learning similarity from examples of what objects are deemed similar according to the task-specific notion of similarity at hand, as well as optional negative examples. Our learning algorithm constructs, …

Task-specific and interpretable feature learning
… learning approaches that emphasize problem-specific reasoning, and deep models that allow for larger learning capacity. The overall goal is to devise the next-generation feature learning architectures that are: 1) task-specific, namely, optimizing the entire pipeline from end to end while …

Task-specific summarization of networks: Optimization and Learning
… groups of nodes. This implies that for each task, we should design a specific method to reveal related patterns. Despite the importance of task-specific summarization, there has not been much work in this area. Hence, in this thesis, we design task-specific summarization frameworks for …

TASK SPECIFIC EVALUATION METHODOLOGY FOR CLINICAL FULL FIELD DIGITAL MAMMOGRAPHY
… known exactly background known exactly (SKE/BKE) task. We then applied this concept on two clinical FFDM systems to compare their performance. In a limited study to evaluate the effects of image processing in the detectability of FFDM, we implemented the channelized Hotelling observer (CHO) model …

Emergent patterns of task-specific neurons in deep neural networks
… visual concepts remain elusive. Utilizing a multitask learning paradigm, we first explore the capacity for networks to generalize to understand visual reasoning concepts. We introduce a simplified visual reasoning dataset to train several network architectures, including a recently proposed model …

Uncertainty-aware fusion of foundation and task-specific models for cardiac MRI segmentation
… models achieve high accuracy on domain-specific data but struggle to generalize to unseen data. To address these complementary limitations, we propose an uncertainty-aware fusion framework that integrates the generalizability of foundation models with the anatomical precision of …

Design and Application of Task-Specific Organic Salts for Chemical and Biochemical Sensing
… application of sensors and sensor arrays using task specific organic salts: ionic liquids (ILs) and a group of uniform materials based on organic salts (GUMBOS). As compared to typical ionic compounds, these two classes of organic salts exhibit relatively lower melting points due to bulky …

Task-specific observer performance and image quality : direct and indirect relationships in low-dose CT images
… with seven observers using a localisation task, and observer tasks involving visualisation of structures with how well images fulfilled international CT quality criteria, and the impact of noise on those decisions. Results and conclusion: The relationship of mA to IQM values was mainly …

Investigating the Effects of a Task-Specific Fatigue Protocol on Hand Tracking Performance Using a Wrist Robotic Device
The purpose of this work was to evaluate the effects of a dynamic submaximal fatigue protocol and forearm/hand anthropometrics on hand tracking performance. Participants traced a 2:3 Lissajous curve using a haptic wrist robotic device (WristBot). This same curve was traced before the fatigue …

Participants' Perspectives On the Feasibility and Benefits of An Intensive, Task-Specific Intervention For Individuals With Chronic Stroke: A Qualitative Analysis
… feasibility and benefits of a novel, intensive, task specific intervention for individuals with chronic stroke from the perspective of those who participated. Research Design: Qualitative analysis using a phenomenological approach. Methods: A purposive sample of eight participants voluntarily …

Individual Differences in Trait Motivation: An Exploration of the Relative Influence of Motivational Traits and Goal Orientation on Goal Setting Processes
… relationships between motivational traits, task-specific self-efficacy and self-set goal level during a computer-based task. Along with direct assessment of these relationships, we assessed whether task-specific self-efficacy mediates relationships between motivational traits and self-set …

Bringing Computational Modeling into the Classroom with Custom Block-Based Programming Languages in StarLogo Nova
… modeling activities that use custom, task-specific programming languages in StarLogo Nova. However, StarLogo Nova’s block-based programming environment does not support extending the language with new task-specific blocks. This thesis resolves this issue by enabling programmers to add …

The Interaction Between Learning Goal Orientation and Differentially Distributed -Practice Training Designs in Labor Education
… learning and performance goal orientation, and task-specific self-efficacy. After the training, stretching either four days for the massed practice condition courses or six weeks for the spaced practice condition courses, students completed post-training assessments. These assessments included …

Reliable and Generalizable Real-World Planning with LLM-based Formalized Programming
… such as multi-constraint or long-horizon tasks. This motivates the needs to develop a robust and reliable planning system for complex real-world planning problems. Furthermore, many frameworks aiming to solve complex planning problems often rely on task-specific preparatory efforts, such …

LOCUS OF CONTROL AND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT: INTEGRATING SOCIAL LEARNING THEORY AND EXPECTANCY-VALUE THEORY
… both outcomes. Performance expectancies and task-specific self-concept respectively predicted math achievement and college graduation, although the contribution of task-specific self-concept was smaller than shown in previous research. The social learning theory concept of behavior potential …

Memory-related cognitive modulation of human auditory cortex: Magnetoencephalography-based validation of a computational model
It is well known that cognitive functions exert task-specific modulation of the response properties of human auditory cortex. However, the underlying neuronal mechanisms are not well understood yet. In this dissertation I present a novel approach for integrating 'bottom-up' (neural network …

Language-Guided Video Understanding with Foundation Models
… representations and increasingly shift task objectives and decision logic to inference time through natural language, rather than encoding them through task-specific training. The first contribution shows that pre-trained VLM representations can be adapted under weak supervision for …
