  • Enabling Graceful Software Upgrades in Distributed Systems

    Creator:
    Gotlur Muralidhar, Hima
    Abstract:
    In today’s world, we are highly dependent on software systems together with devices for almost every task in our day to day life. Software system upgrades are released whenever it is necessary to accommodate the ever-changing user’s needs. The devices we use to run the software systems might be of...

  • Modeling and experimental verification of electric and magnetic fields generated by undersea power transmission cables

    Creator:
    York, Charles E.
    Abstract:
    As interest grows in developing devices to harvest energy from ocean waves, tidal currents, and offshore wind, concerns over possible environmental effects from such devices also grow. One such concern is over the induced electric fields and the generated magnetic fields from generators and their associated submarine power cables in...

  • Mental Models of Mere Mortals with Explanations of Reinforcement Learning

    Creator:
    Anderson, Andrew A.
    Abstract:
    How should reinforcement learning (RL) agents explain themselves to humans not trained in AI? To gain insights into this question, we conducted a 124 participant, four-treatment experiment to compare participants’ mental models of an RL agent in the context of a simple Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game. The four treatments isolated...

  • Semi-digital PLL architecture for ultra low bandwidth applications

    Creator:
    George, Edmond
    Abstract:
    Phase Locked Loops(PLLs) are an integral part of almost every electronic system. Systems involving low frequency clocks often require PLLs with low bandwidth. The area occupied by the large loop filter capacitor and resistor in a low bandwidth PLL design makes the realization of traditional charge-pump PLL architecture impractical on...

  • A nano-power wake-up circuit for RF energy harvesting wireless sensor networks

    Creator:
    Lindsley, Christopher J.
    Abstract:
    A fully integrated CMOS latched comparator is presented for use as a wake-up circuit that is attached to an RF energy harvester in a battery free wireless sensor network. The system consumes less than 36nA static current at 20°C and dissipates 2pJ of energy per conversion. The comparator comprises of...

  • Window Axial Vision Transformer for Image Classification

    Creator:
    Lee, Jisoo
    Abstract:
    Currently, a popular approach to image classification uses the deep Transformer architecture. In a Transformer, the attention mechanism enables the model to learn efficiently with fewer computational resources than the convolutional neural networks (CNNs). In this thesis, we study the sparse attention mechanism widely used in the Transformers developed specifically...

  • Channel Estimation in TDD MU-MIMO Systems using Sub-Linear Sparse Signal Recovery Algorithms

    Creator:
    Barry, David G.
    Abstract:
    Massive Multiple-User Miltiple-Input Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO) wireless communication systems incorporate promising advanced strong technologies for upcoming 5G communications. To obtain some of the high spectrum and energy e ciencies bonuses brought by MU-MIMO systems, the ability to obtain Channel State information, especially on the receiver side (CSI), is important. To minimize...

  • Auxiliary Tasks for Efficient Learning of Point-Goal Navigation

    Creator:
    Desai, Saurabh Satish
    Abstract:
    Top-performing approaches to embodied AI tasks like point-goal navigation often rely on training agents via reinforcement learning over tens of millions (or even billions) of experiential steps – learning neural agents that map directly from visual observations to actions. In this work, we question whether these extreme training durations are...

  • Novelty Detection Under the Multi-Instance Multi-Label Framework

    Creator:
    Lou, Qi
    Abstract:
    Novelty detection plays an important role in machine learning and signal processing. This project studies novelty detection in a new setting where the data object is represented as a bag of instances and associated with multiple class labels, referred to as multi-instance multi-label (MIML) learning. Contrary to the common assumption...

  • Evaluating the Effects of Multiple Environmental Stressors on the Gulf of Alaska Pacific Cod Fishery Using a Dynamic Stress-Scape Framework

    Creator:
    Blaisdell, Josiah
    Abstract:
    The Gulf of Alaska (GOA) is home to the most productive fisheries in the world. In 2019, 2.2 million metric tons of fish were shipped from Alaska to destinations all over the world (NOAA Fisheries, 2019). From 2014-2016 and, more recently, in 2019 the largest heatwaves in recorded history caused...
