Focused Active Learning for Histopathological Image Classification
Arne Schmidt, Pablo Morales-Álvarez, Lee A. D. Cooper +4
Active Learning (AL) has the potential to solve a major problem of digital pathology: the efficient acquisition of labeled data for machine learning algorithms. However, existing A…
An Algorithm for Reconstructing the Orphan Stream Progenitor with MilkyWay@home Volunteer Computing
Siddhartha Shelton, Heidi Jo Newberg, Jake Weiss +16
We have developed a method for estimating the properties of the progenitor dwarf galaxy from the tidal stream of stars that were ripped from it as it fell into the Milky Way. In pa…
A Robust Asynchronous Newton Method for Massive Scale Computing Systems
Travis Desell, Malik Magdon-Ismail, Heidi Newberg +3
Volunteer computing grids offer super-computing levels of computing power at the relatively low cost of operating a server. In previous work, the authors have shown that it is poss…
Statistical Properties of Blue Horizontal Branch Stars in the Spheroid: Detection of a Moving Group approximately 50 kpc from the Sun
Matthew J. Harrigan, Heidi Jo Newberg, Lee A. Newberg +4
A new moving group comprising at least four Blue Horizontal Branch (BHB) stars is identified at (l,b) = (65 deg, 48 deg). The horizontal branch at g0=18.9 magnitude implies a dista…
Effect of Night Laboratories on Learning Objectives for a Non-Major Astronomy Class
Ian C. Jacobi, Heidi Jo Newberg, Darren Broder +5
We tested the effectiveness on learning of hands-on, night-time laboratories that challenged student misconceptions in a non-major introductory astronomy class at Rensselaer Polyte…
