Mechanisms of Multi-Object Working Memory and Motion Prediction in the Primate Brain
Sample-efficient learning and flexible generalization are hallmarks of intelligent behavior. Both sample-efficient learning and flexible generalization rely on re-using a mental model of the world in new contexts. For many decades, researchers in cognitive science, neuroscience, and machine …

An efficient score alignment algorithm and its applications
String alignment and comparison in Computer Science is a well-explored space with classic problems such as Longest Common Subsequence that have practical application in bioinformatic genomic sequencing and data comparison in revision control systems. In the field of musicology, score alignment and …

Iterative Schedule Optimization for Parallelization in the Polyhedron Model
… requires little or no prior knowledge and can adapt more easily to concrete programs and target hardware than static cost models and heuristics. Thereby, iterative compilation helps in situations in which static heuristics do not reflect the combination of input program and target …

A game-based intervention for the reduction of statistical cognitive biases
Probability and statistics is perhaps the area of mathematics education most directly applicable to everyday life. Yet, the methodologies traditionally used to cover these topics in school render the material formal and difficult to apply. In this thesis, I describe a game design that develops …

Utilizing Machine Learning Methods for Usability Evaluation in Learning Management Systems
… (effectiveness), time measurement (efficiency), and positive attitude (satisfaction). The strategy for usability evaluation in software systems usually involves questionnaires, user testing, and heuristics. Although these methods have been widely used due to several benefits, there are challenges …
