ISIS TS1 Project Summary

A Project Summary

The goal of this project is to improve assessment of student learning in computer science. To this end, this work proposes to develop three concept inventories for introductory computer science subjects. Modeled after the successful Force Concept Inventory that was developed to assess student learning of Newtonian physics, the proposed concept inventories will test understanding of key computer...

Commius Project Summary

Project Summary 1

The overall goals of this proposal are to obtain a high-coverage, high-quality draft of the Acanthamoeba castellanii Neff (Ac) genome and annotate and analyze the genome sequence data. We intend to use the whole genome shotgun method followed by whole genome assembly to construct a high-quality genome assembly for Ac. The project team is well suited to undertake this work. The PI, Brendan Loftu...

RIMRES: A Project Summary

The Moon has been a subject of interest of space agencies, being seen as a candidate to establish a permanent outpost in space [1]. However, in order to reach this goal with reasonable efforts, the utilization of local resources which are available on the Moon is an essential requirement. The access to water-ice is of main interest, since it would provide a local source for oxygen and hydrogen,...

A Project Summary

There has been a recent revolution in machine learning based on the following simple idea. Instead of using for example a complicated neural net as your hypotheses class, map the instances into a high dimensional feature space and learn with linear models in that feature space. Provided that the dot products in the feature space can be computed efficiently via the use of a kernel function and t...
