CS 462 - Senior Capstone Winter 2018 Midterm Progress Report

This document reviews the previous six weeks of work done on the Smarter Thunder Lamp. This includes not only a breakdown of problems and solutions the team encountered, but a detailed account of what each group member has worked on so far. The project is broken down into three sections. Each of these sections discusses the progress that has been made during the development that has been execut...

CombinaTexas 2018 February 10 – 11 , 2018

In this talk we give combinatorial proofs of q-Stirling identities using restricted growth words. This includes a poset theoretic proof of Carlitz’s identity, a new proof of the q-Frobenius identity of Garsia and Remmel and of Ehrenborg’s Hankel q-Stirling determinantal identity. We also develop a two parameter generalization to unify identities of Mercier and include a symmetric function versi...

Natural Language Inference over Interaction Space: ICLR 2018 Reproducibility Report

We have tried to reproduce the results of the paper “Natural Language Inference over Interaction Space” submitted to ICLR 2018 conference as part of the ICLR 2018 Reproducibility Challenge. Initially, we were not aware that the code was available, so we started to implement the networ from scratch. We have evaluated our version of the model on Stanford NLI dataset and reached 86.38% accuracy on...

Consensus on Wound Antisepsis: Update 2018.

Wound antisepsis has undergone a renaissance due to the introduction of highly effective wound-compatible antimicrobial agents and the spread of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs). However, a strict indication must be set for the application of these agents. An infected or critically colonized wound must be treated antiseptically. In addition, systemic antibiotic therapy is required in case ...
