Reinforcement learning-based off-equilibrium incentives to approximate the VCG mechanism

Creator:: Moissinac, Béatrice
Abstract:: Auctions are used to solve resource allocation problem between many agents and many items in real-world settings. Unfortunately, in most cases, it is possible for selfish agents to manipulate the system for their own interest at the expense of the social welfare. Such manipulation can be prevented using the Vickrey-Clarke-Groves...

Multi-instance multi-label learning : algorithms and applications to bird bioacoustics

Creator:: Briggs, Forrest
Abstract:: We consider the problem of supervised classification of bird species from audio recordings in a real-world acoustic monitoring scenario (i.e. audio data is collected in the field with an omnidirectional microphone, without human supervision). Obtaining better data about bird activity can assist conservation efforts, and improve our understanding of their...

Micropower incremental analog-to-digital converters

Creator:: Chen, Chia-Hung
Abstract:: Incremental ADCs (IADCs) have many advantages for low-frequency high-accuracy data conversion—they are easy to multiplex between channels, need simpler digital decimation filter, and allow extended counting with a Nyquist-rate ADC. A single-loop incremental ADC was designed and fabricated in 90 nm for a biosensor interface circuit. It incorporates one integrator,...

Energy and area efficient techniques for data converters

Creator:: Venkatram, Hariprasath
Abstract:: Data converters are ubiquitous building blocks of a signal chain. The rapid increase in communication and connectivity devices presents new avenues for pushing the state of the art analog to digital converters. Techniques for improving resolution, bandwidth, linearity and bit-error rate, while reducing the power, energy and area is the...

Design techniques for low power high speed successive approximation analog-to-digital converters

Creator:: Lin, Jiaming
Abstract:: This dissertation presents two high-speed pipeline successive approximation analog-to-digital converters (SAR ADCs). Capacitive DACs and resistive DACs are utilized in these two pipeline SAR ADCs, respectively. The pipeline SAR ADC with capacitive DACs can save 50% switching power compared with other time-interleaved SAR ADCs since the total capacitance of the...

Classifier Chains for Multi-Label Classification with Incomplete Labels

Creator:: Almuallim, Jafer
Abstract:: Many methods have been explored in the literature of multi-label learning, ranging from simple problem transformation to more complex method that capture correlation among labels. However, mostly all existing works do not address the challenge with incomplete label data. The goal of this project is to extend the work of...

Adiabatic Markov Decision Process : convergence of value iteration algorithm

Creator:: Duong, Thai
Abstract:: Markov Decision Process (MDP) is a well-known framework for devising the optimal decision making strategies under uncertainty. Typically, the decision maker assumes a stationary environment which is characterized by a time-invariant transition probability matrix. However, in many real-world scenarios, this assumption is not justified, thus the optimal strategy might not...

Fast queuing policies via convex relaxation

Creator:: Nguyen-Huu, Duong
Abstract:: Traditionally, networking protocol designs have placed much emphasis on point-to-point reliability and efficiency. With the recent rise of mobile and multimedia applications, other considerations such as power consumption and/or Quality of Service (QoS) are becoming increasingly important factors in designing network protocols. As such, we present a new flexible framework...

Testing of wave energy converters using the Ocean Sentinel Instrumentation Buoy

Creator:: Lettenmaier, Terrance
Abstract:: Ocean testing of Wave Energy Converter (WEC) prototypes is necessary to facilitate commercial WEC development. The Ocean Sentinel Instrumentation Buoy, completed in August 2012, provides a stand-alone load for WEC prototypes during ocean testing. The first part of this work was to develop the power conversion and data acquisition equipment...

Development of a grid-scale energy storage solution via demand response using model predictive control of multiple residential water heaters

Creator:: Halamay, Douglas A.
Abstract:: As the growth of renewable energy sources, such as wind, solar, and ocean wave, increases, their impact on the electrical grid has been rapidly escalating. Although renewable resources have been able to offset some traditional generation, they have also brought a need for increasing reserve capacity due to their non-dispatchable,...
