  • On a Topological Criterion for the Construction of Higher Arity Metrics

    Creator:
    Barkan, Willow
    Abstract:
    Metric spaces (X, d) are ubiquitous objects in mathematics and computer science that are able to capture pairwise distance relationships d(x, y) between points x, y ∈ X. Because of this, it is natural to ask what useful generalizations there are of metric spaces for capturing “k-wise distance relationships” d(x1,...

  • Automatic program generation for scientific computing

    Creator:
    Fu, Zhe
    Abstract:
    The code reuse problem is a common software engineering problem in scientific computing. As a prevailing programming language in many scientific fields, Fortran does not provide support to address this problem. One particular reason is that Fortran lacks the support for generic programming. By applying program-generation techniques, we developed two...

  • Communication-Efficient Secure Two-Party Computation From Minicrypt and OT

    Creator:
    Roy, Lawrence
    Abstract:
    Secure two-party computation (2PC) is the task of performing arbitrary calculations on secret inputs provided by two parties, while maintaining secrecy if at least one party is honest. 2PC has been applied to privacy-preserving record linkage and machine learning, in areas such as medicine where maintaining privacy is crucial. One...

  • A Benchmarking Study of Unsupervised Anomaly Detection Algorithms

    Creator:
    Emmott, Andrew F.
    Abstract:
    It is common practice in the unsupervised anomaly detection literature to create experimental benchmarks by sampling from existing supervised learning datasets. We seek to improve this practice by identifying four dimensions important to real-world anomaly detection applications --- point difficulty, clusteredness of anomalies, relevance of features, and relative frequency of...

  • Test fixture characterization for high-frequency silicon substrate parasitic extraction

    Creator:
    Tabalujan, Andrew R.
    Abstract:
    At frequencies exceeding 1-2 GHz, the reactive nature of a silicon substrate must be accounted in the substrate network models used in substrate coupling simulation. High-frequency substrate models, containing reactive components, must be validated through high-frequency network analyzer measurements. Prior fabricated test fixtures have been modified to enable high-frequency (up...

  • 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...

  • Application of WiMAX to aviation communications

    Creator:
    Kim, Sang Jun
    Abstract:
    The US military is evaluating the capabilities of emerging technologies based on IEEE 802.16 standard as a potential commercial off-the-shelf solution to support the communication requirements of the future war. In the last few years, development in military and telecommunication industries have focused on an intensive use of broadband systems,...

  • Instability and temperature-dependence assessment of IGZO TFTs

    Creator:
    Hoshino, Ken
    Abstract:
    Amorphous oxide semiconductors (AOSs) are of great current interest for thin-film transistor (TFT) channel layer applications. In particular, indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) is under intense development for commercial applications because of its demonstrated high performance at low processing temperatures. The objective of the research presented in this thesis is...

  • Fabrication process assessment and negative bias illumination stress study of IGZO and ZTO TFTs

    Creator:
    Hoshino, Ken
    Abstract:
    Indium-gallium-zinc oxide (IGZO) and zinc-tin oxide (ZTO) are investigated for thin-film transistor (TFT) applications. Negative bias illumination stress (NBIS) is employed for electrical stability assessment. Unpassivated IGZO and ZTO TFTs suffer from severe NBIS instabilities. Zinc-tin-silicon oxide is found to be an effective passivation layer for IGZO and ZTO TFTs,...

  • Physical vapor deposition of novel thin-film solar absorbers

    Creator:
    Waters, Benjamin E.
    Abstract:
    Current leading thin-film solar cell technologies, i.e., cadmium telluride (CdTe) and copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS), employ elements which are either toxic (Cd), or rare and/or expensive (In, Te, Ga, and Cd). The aim of this thesis is to investigate new, abundant, non-toxic p-type semiconductors for potential solar absorber application....
