  • Automated model parameter extraction for noise coupling analysis in silicon substrates

    Creator:
    Peterson, Brett
    Abstract:
    An automated method, requiring the fabrication of a small set of test structures, efficiently extracts the coefficients of Z-parameter based macromodels. The extraction approach has been validated for both heavily and lightly doped substrates and can be applied to a variety of technologies. After the parameters of a macromodel have...

  • Counterfactual States for Atari Agents via Generative Deep Learning

    Creator:
    Olson, Matthew L.
    Abstract:
    Although deep reinforcement learning agents have produced impressive results in many domains, their decision making is difficult to explain to humans. To address this problem, past work has mainly focused on explaining why an action was chosen in a given state. A different type of explanation that is useful is...

  • Leveraging Structures of the Data in Deep Learning

    Creator:
    Li, Xingyi
    Abstract:
    The performance of deep learning frameworks could be significantly improved through considering the particular underlying structures for each dataset. In this thesis, I summarize our three work about boosting the performance of deep learning models through leveraging structures of the data. In the first work, we theoretically justify that, for...

  • Incorporating labeled features into image classification using generalized expectation

    Creator:
    Moore, Travis
    Abstract:
    Image classification is a difficult problem, often requiring large training sets to get satisfactory results. However this is a task that humans perform very well, and incorporating user feedback into these learning algorithms could help reduce the dependency on large amounts of labeled training data. This process has already been...

  • Advances in Simultaneous Translation

    Creator:
    Zheng, Renjie
    Abstract:
    Simultaneous translation, which translates concurrently with the source language speech, is widely used in many scenarios including multilateral organizations. However, it is well known to be one of the most challenging tasks for humans due to the simultaneous perception and production in two languages. On the other hand, simultaneous translation...

  • Machine Learning Methods for the Discovery and Analysis of MicroRNAs

    Creator:
    Bell, Jimmy D.
    Abstract:
    MicroRNAs are a highly conserved class of small endogenous RNA, about ~22nt in length, involved in post-transcriptional gene silencing and have prominent roles in disease and development. Though the process of microRNA discovery was once an arduous task, the advent of high throughput sequencing technology has resulted in novel microRNAs...

  • Robust and Efficient Classification of Videos in the Wild

    Creator:
    Mahasseni, Behrooz
    Abstract:
    Recognizing human actions in videos is a long-standing problem in computer vision with a wide range of applications including video surveillance, content retrieval, and sports analysis. This thesis focuses on addressing efficiency and robustness of video classification in unconstrained real-world settings. The thesis work can be broadly divided into four...

  • Infant Hand Detection and Tracking

    Creator:
    Mishra, Shridhar
    Abstract:
    Hand detection is a fundamental step for many hand-related computer vision tasks, such as gesture recognition, hand pose estimation, hand sign language translation, and so on. However, robustly detecting hands is a challenging task because of drastic changes in appearance based on finger articulation and changes in lighting conditions, camera...

  • Interpretable Machine Learning: Applications in Biology and Genomics

    Creator:
    Danaee, Padideh
    Abstract:
    Machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models impact our daily lives with applications in natural language modeling, image analysis, healthcare, genomics, and bioinformatics. The exponential growth of biological sequence data necessitates accompanying advances in computational methods. Although deep learning is highly effective for detecting and classifying biological sequences, challenges...

  • Development of zinc tin oxide-based transparent thin-film transistors

    Creator:
    Chiang, Hai Q.
    Abstract:
    The focus of this thesis involves development of highly transparent, n-channel, accumulation- mode thin-film transistors employing a zinc tin oxide (ZTO) channel layer. ZTO-based transparent thin-film transistors (TTFTs) show improved device performance compared to ZnO-based TTFTs. An estimated peak effective mobility for these devices as high as ~100 cm² V⁻¹sec⁻¹...
