Towards Understanding and Mitigating Biases
NSH 3305Abstract: There are many problems in real life that involve collecting and aggregating evaluation from people, such as conference peer review and peer grading. In this thesis, we consider multiple sources of biases that may arise in this process: (1) human bias -- the data collected from people are noisy and reflect people's calibration criteria [...]
Toward Intent Recognition through Nonverbal Behaviors in Assistive Co-Manipulation
NSH 1109Abstract: Robots are becoming more versatile, increasing the available opportunities to use them in situations that aid people in everyday tasks. For example, recent research has investigated robot manipulators for assisting people with motor impairments in activities of daily living such as eating a meal. To form successful collaborations in these interactions, researchers need to [...]

NSH 4305Title: 3D Object Detection from CT Scans using a Slice-and-fuse Approach Abstract: Automatic object detection in 3D X-ray Computed Tomography imagery has recently gained research attention due to its promising applications in aviation baggage screening. The huge dimension of an individual 3D scan, however, poses formidable computational challenges when coupled with deep 3D convolutional [...]
