A Fresh Look at Functional Connectivity Analysis
Functional connectivity analysis attempts to detect methods of communication between groups of neurons in the brain that may or may not be directly physically connected. We briefly review current neuroscience methods for ... -
Functional Optical Coherence Tomography: In Vivo Applications in Dermatology and Neuroscience
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a revolutionary imaging technique commonly used in ophthalmology, and on its way to become a major tool in clinical dermatology and neuroscience. In this thesis, the non-invasive imaging ... -
A fuzzy-logic autonomous agent, applied as a supervisory controller in a simulated environment
(2000)An unsupervised learning system, implemented as an autonomous agent is presented. A simulation of a challenging path-planning problem is used to illustrate the agent design and demonstrate its problem solving ability. The ... -
Generalizable Methodology for Measurement and Analysis of Nutritional Intake
According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), in 2018, more than 17 million people were diagnosed with cancer, and over 9 million patients died of cancer. Recent studies show that diet and lifestyle were two of the most ... -
Generalized Machine Learning Quantization Implementation for High Level Synthesis Targeting FPGAs
The Large Hadron Collider produces a large amount of data while operating, approximately one petabyte of data per second. The collider is currently undergoing an upgrade to collide more particles and produce even more data. ... -
Generation Forecasting for Small Run-of-the-River Hydroelectric Systems Using Statistical Learning Models
With an increasing interest in constructing new run-of-the-river (ROR) hydroelectric generation over the more traditional reservoir-based hydroelectric systems, there is an increasing operational challenge due to the ... -
Geometry of Feedback Control and Learning
In this thesis, we shall study optimal control problems, e.g. linear-quadratic-regulator (LQR), least squares stationary optimal control, linear quadratic (LQ) dynamic games, through the lens of first-order algorithms. The ... -
Graph Design via Convex Optimization: Online and Distributed Perspectives
Network and graph have long been natural abstraction of relations in a variety of applications, e.g. transportation, power system, social network, communication, electrical circuit, etc. As a large number of computation ... -
Graph-based Algorithms for Lexical Semantics and its Applications
(2012-09-13)Lexical semantics studies the meaning of words, which is a useful tool for computer-based automatic natural language processing (NLP). This thesis explores graph-based algorithms to learn and apply distributional lexical ... -
Graph-based Semi-Supervised Learning in Acoustic Modeling for Automatic Speech Recognition
Acoustic models require a large amount of training data. However, lots of labor is required to annotate the training data for automatic speech recognition. More importantly, the performance of the acoustic model could ... -
Graphical Models for Peptide Identification of Tandem Mass Spectra
Graphical models (GMs) provide a flexible framework for modeling phenomena. In the past few decades, GMs have become indispensable tools for machine learning and computational biology. They afford a wide range of modeling ... -
Graphical User Interface for Cleft Severity Analysis
3D FAST (3D Facial Analysis System and Tool) is a graphical user interface (GUI) designed for analyzing craniofacial symmetry, particularly for cleft severity. The goal is to enable an easy experience for computing the ... -
Haptic Virtual Fixtures for Robotic Surgery
(2013-11-14)This dissertation presents a method to protect objects from touch by the robot during teleoperation. Using the point cloud obtained in real-time by a depth camera, a virtual fixture is placed around protected areas of the ... -
Hardware Prototyping and Algorithm Development for Endoscopic Vision Systems
Medical endoscopy is a key technology of (semi)surface-based imaging of human organ for diagnosis in medical screening, surgical guidance in minimally invasive surgery or tele-surgery and cancer surveillance in re-examinations. ... -
Harmonic Encoding in Cochlear Implants
Today’s standard in cochlear implant (CI) signal processing is based on incoherent tem- poral envelope and temporal fine structure (TFS) extraction. Incoherent envelopes are suffi- cient for the baseline task of speech ... -
Head and neck lymph node region delineation with automatic segmentation and image registration
(2007)The success of radiation therapy depends critically on accurately delineating the target volume, which is the region of known or suspected disease in a patient. Methods that can compute a contour set defining a target ... -
