Epistemological implications of representational pluralism
… patterns, and so on. I call this claim representational pluralism. If some of these non-linguistic representations are constitutive of knowledge, as I argue that they are in later chapters, then this requires a substantial revision of the traditional epistemological framework. I proceed …

Designing representational architectures in recognition
… the methods presented in this thesis is learning representational architectures around recognition problems. My approaches to all these problems are centered around one fundamental observation: finding the right representation is a key component in recognition.

Multi-representational security modeling and analysis
… of the development. This thesis proposes a multi-representational approach to security modeling and analysis, where models capturing distinct (but possibly overlapping) views of a system are automatically composed in order to enable an end-to-end analysis. This approach allows the designer to …

SCALABLE GRAPH REPRESENTATIONAL LEARNING ALGORITHMS FOR NETWORK MEDICINE
In the era of big data, advanced computational techniques are needed to process, analyze and visualize increasing amounts of data generated by high-throughput technologies. In this context, analyzing biomedical Knowledge Graphs that embrace bio- logical and medical concepts structured in ontologies …

An investigation of eye movements and representational systems
… Structure of Magic II, concerned with internal representational systems. Specifically, the study was designed to investigate the relationship between reflexive eye movement patterns, verbalizations, and individual self-report as measures of representational systems. This comparison was made to …

Representational redescription and the development of cognitive flexibility
… flexibility' is the result of a series of three representational redescriptions. These redescriptions are carried out by endogenous metaprocesses operating directly on the representations. Representational redescription accounts only for development beyond 'behavioural success', the stimulus to …

Concepts and Schemas: Representational Format for Structured Knowledge
… a set of behavioural experiments examining the representational format of knowledge structures such as concepts and schemas, and develop learning paradigms that test algorithmic-level theories of spatial and non-spatial processing. We start by discussing classical geometric models of knowledge …

Representational alignment of humans and machines for computer vision
Recent progress in computer vision has led to deep neural networks that match or even surpass human-level performance across various machine learning tasks. However, we identify a significant difference between the representations learned by these models and human conceptual understanding. We …

Science on television : A representational site for mediating ideology
… engaging discursively with science, present a representational site for different cultural expression of the preferred meanings of ideology of two radically different paradigmatic frameworks.

Study of QoE for DASH at Sub-representational Level
… induced distortion metric to drive a DASH sub-representational scheme that offers a spatio-temporal QoE tradeoff at a much finer granular scale. By comparing with a typical throughput, segment aware driven DASH under varying network conditions, we demonstrate DASH driven at sub-representational …

Investigating representational biases in stock photo website search results
Stock photos have been widely used in various media, such as newspapers and blogs. They are relatively understudied in media and advertising, perhaps because the concept of stock photos encompasses a wide range of images, and websites dedicated to gathering, displaying, and selling stock photos …

Representational dynamics across multiple timescales in human cortical networks
… to guide behavior, this thesis examined representational content within sensory regions, multiple demand (MD) network, and default mode network (DMN). Chapter 1 provides a background review of the current literature. It begins by reviewing experimental investigations of component visual …

Understanding and Improving Representational Robustness of Machine Learning Models
… Specifically, we put our focus on studying representational robustness, which we define as the “robustness” (or generally trustworthy properties) in the induced hidden space of a given network. For a generic representation network, this corresponds to the representation space itself, while …

Virgil Ortiz: American Indian Artist, Representational Trickster, and Identity Shapeshifter
… American Indian representations. The measure of representational sovereignty that Ortiz asserts is evident in the mediums and the media in which he participates. This study reveals that Ortiz produces a counter discourse that disturbs hegemonic notions of American Indians; promotes more prismatic …

Interpreting abuse from self-representational drawings: a mixed-method study
… the interpreters differentiate between self-representational drawings created by persons who have experienced abuse and persons who have not been abused. This study used a non-clinical sample of 196 self-representational drawings created by college students, and 60 independent judges who were …

Artistic expression: The development of representational strategies in children's drawings
… grow. Ives (1984) suggests that children use the representational strategies of literal expression, abstract expression, and content expression to depict emotional qualities; Winston, Kenyon, Stewardson, and Lepine (1995) find that children like to use themes to make expressive qualities in their …

Affect and (Un)Certainty: Exploring the Non-Representational in Ethnographic Depiction
The experimental 19-minute film is a type of realistic documentary and ethnographic depiction of Vancouver B.C. The film aims to explore how sound shapes affect in film and involves not employing two very effective and reliable cinematic techniques: the close-up of a face and the use of music. …

The relationship of ego-resiliency to a representational measure of attachment
… study I asked the question whether a concurrent representational measure of attachment security was similarly related to preschoolers' ego-resiliency ratings. Toward this end, children's responses to story beginnings designed to elicit attachment issues were compared to ego-resiliency ratings by …
