  • Weak-supervision Time-series Analysis

    Creator:
    You, Zeyu
    Abstract:
    Efficient time-series analysis can impact multiple application domains such as motif discovery in gene analysis or music data, extracting spectro-temporal patterns in acoustic scene analysis, or annotating and classifying electrical bio-signals (such as ECG, EEG, and EMG) for medical applications. Time-series analysis involves a variety of tasks. To predict future...

  • Physical activity recognition of free-living data using change-point detection algorithms and hidden Markov models

    Creator:
    Anderson, Michael M.
    Abstract:
    Physical activity recognition using accelerometer data is a rapidly emerging field with many real-world applications. Much of the previous work in this area has assumed that the accelerometer data has already been segmented into pure activities, and the activity recognition task has been to classify these segments. In reality, activity...

  • Energy efficient communication across on-chip wires in digital CMOS

    Creator:
    Postman, Jacob
    Abstract:
    For the past half century, CMOS process scaling has followed Moore's law, approximately doubling transistor density every 18 months. While locally routed wires have generally scaled with transistor size, longer wires have scaled at a slower rate and in some cases have grown larger as chip size and complexity have...

  • Dynamic and Dual Streaming Methods for H.264 Video and Parallel Performance Modeling

    Creator:
    Johnson, Taylor N.
    Abstract:
    Traditional approaches to streaming H.264 video over a network typically rely on a single method of transport (i.e., reliable or unreliable) and/or use static values for parameters that can have a significant negative impact on the perceptual quality of the received video. This dissertation presents a dynamic method for wireless...
