  • Characterizing and Addressing Dataset Shift with Deep Learning

    Creator:
    Olson, Matthew L.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation delves into understanding, characterizing, and addressing dataset shift in deep learning, a pervasive issue for deployed machine learning systems. Integral aspects of the problem are examined: We start with the use of counterfactual explanations in order to characterize the behavior of deep reinforcement learning agents in visual input...

  • Precipitation and winter temperature predict long-term range-scale abundance changes in Western North American birds

    Creator:
    Illán, Javier Gutiérrez, Thomas, Chris D., Jones, Julia A., Wong, Weng-Keen, Shirley, Susan M., and Betts, Matthew G.
    Abstract:
    Predicting biodiversity responses to climate change remains a difficult challenge, especially in climatically complex regions where precipitation is a limiting factor. Though statistical climatic envelope models are frequently used to project future scenarios for species distributions under climate change, these models are rarely tested using empirical data. We used long-term...

  • Fabrication and characterization of thin-film transistor materials and devices

    Creator:
    Hong, David
    Abstract:
    A class of inorganic thin-film transistor (TFT) semiconductor materials has emerged involving oxides composed of post-transitional cations with (n-1)d¹⁰ns⁰ (n≥4) electronic configurations. This thesis is devoted to the pursuit of topics involving the development of these materials for TFT applications: Deposition of zinc oxide and zinc tin oxide semiconductor layers...

  • A digital multiplying delay locked loop for high frequency clock generation

    Creator:
    Uttarwar, Tushar
    Abstract:
    As Moore’s Law continues to give rise to ever shrinking channel lengths, circuits are becoming more digital and ever increasingly faster. Generating high frequency clocks in such scaled processes is becoming a tough challenge. Digital phase locked loops (DPLLs) are being explored as an alternative to conventional analog PLLs but...

  • Low noise clocking for high speed serial links

    Creator:
    Brownlee, Merrick
    Abstract:
    As the functionality of digital chips continues to increase dramatically, chip- to-chip communication bandwidths must scale accordingly to avoid constraining the overall system performance. Therefore, high speed transceiver design has be- come an important research topic. In particular, the performance of the circuits that are responsible for timing accuracy are...

  • Opportunistic bandwidth sharing through reinforcement learning

    Creator:
    Venkatraman, Pavithra
    Abstract:
    The enormous success of wireless technology has recently led to an explosive demand for, and hence a shortage of, bandwidth resources. This expected shortage problem is reported to be primarily due to the inefficient, static nature of current spectrum allocation methods. As an initial step towards solving this shortage problem,...

  • Prediction of gene transcription start sites and initiation patterns from DNA sequence content

    Creator:
    Morton, Taj H.
    Abstract:
    The computational identification of gene Transcription Start Sites (TSSs) can provide insights into the regulation and function of genes without performing expensive experiments, particularly in organisms with incomplete annotations. High-resolution general-purpose TSS prediction remains a challenging problem, with little recent progress on the identification and differentiation of TSSs which are...

  • Parametric Pumping of Spin Waves Using Acoustic Waves

    Creator:
    Chowdhury, Pratim
    Abstract:
    Spintronics is an emerging field of research wherein the electron spin instead of, or along with, the conventional electron charge may be utilized in developing next generation logic devices. One of the most promising aspects of spintronics is that information transfer may be achieved by spin waves in logic devices,...

  • A 10 bit algorithmic A/D converter for a biosensor

    Creator:
    Rengachari, Thirumalai
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents a novel algorithmic A/D converter to be used in a biosensor. The converter is capable of a conversion rate of 1.5 bits/phase and hence the required conversion time is reduced. The proposed architecture is analyzed for non-ideal effects and compared with existing algorithmic A/D architectures. The converter...
