Automated Classification of Emotions Using Song Lyrics

Description: This thesis explores the classification of emotions in song lyrics, using automatic approaches applied to a novel corpus of 100 popular songs. I use crowd sourcing via Amazon Mechanical Turk to collect line-level emotions annotations for this collection of song lyrics.  I then build classifiers that rely on textual features to automatically identify the presence of one or more of the following six Ekman emotions: anger, disgust, fear, joy, sadness and surprise. I compare different classificatio… more

Exclusive electroproduction of phi mesons at 4.2 GeV

Description: We studied the exclusive reaction ep {yields} e{prime}p{prime}{phi} using the {phi} {yields} K{sup +} K{sup -} decay mode. The data were collected using a 4.2 GeV incident electron beam and the CLAS detector at Jefferson Lab. Our experiment covers the range in Q{sup 2} from 0.7 to 2.2 GeV{sup 2}, and W from 2.0 to 2.6 GeV. Taken together with all previous data, we find a consistent picture of {phi} production on the proton. Our measurement shows the expected decrease of the t-slope with the vec… more

Revealing the Positive Meaning of a Negation

Description: Negation is a complex phenomenon present in all human languages, allowing for the uniquely human capacities of denial, contradiction, misrepresentation, lying, and irony. It is in the first place a phenomenon of semantical opposition. Sentences containing negation are generally (a) less informative than affirmative ones, (b) morphosyntactically more marked—all languages have negative markers while only a few have affirmative markers, and (c) psychologically more complex and harder to process.

Event Sequence Identification and Deep Learning Classification for Anomaly Detection and Predication on High-Performance Computing Systems

Description: High-performance computing (HPC) systems continue growing in both scale and complexity. These large-scale, heterogeneous systems generate tens of millions of log messages every day. Effective log analysis for understanding system behaviors and identifying system anomalies and failures is highly challenging. Existing log analysis approaches use line-by-line message processing. They are not effective for discovering subtle behavior patterns and their transitions, and thus may overlook some critic… more

New Computational Methods for Literature-Based Discovery

Description: In this work, we leverage the recent developments in computer science to address several of the challenges in current literature-based discovery (LBD) solutions. First, LBD solutions cannot use semantics or are too computational complex. To solve the problems we propose a generative model OverlapLDA based on topic modeling, which has been shown both effective and efficient in extracting semantics from a corpus. We also introduce an inference method of OverlapLDA. We conduct extensive experiment… more

Design and Implementation of a Metadata-rich File System

Description: Despite continual improvements in the performance and reliability of large scale file systems, the management of user-defined file system metadata has changed little in the past decade. The mismatch between the size and complexity of large scale data stores and their ability to organize and query their metadata has led to a de facto standard in which raw data is stored in traditional file systems, while related, application-specific metadata is stored in relational databases. This separation of… more

Evolution and Functional Classification of Vertebrate Gene Deserts

Description: Gene deserts, long stretches of DNA sequence devoid of protein coding genes, span approximately one quarter of the human genome. Through human-chicken genome comparisons we were able to characterized one third of human gene deserts as evolutionarily stable - they are highly conserved in vertebrates, resist chromosomal rearrangements, and contain multiple conserved non-coding elements physically linked to their neighboring genes. A linear relationship was observed between human and chicken ortho… more
