  • Characterization of a digital phase locked loop and a stochastic time to digital converter

    Creator:
    Geissenhainer, Erik D.
    Abstract:
    A digital phase locked loop (DPLL) and a statistical time-to-digital converter (STDC) were previously fabricated in a 0.35µm, 3.3V SOI CMOS process. This work summarizes these designs and characterizes the measured performance. Simulations supplement the measurements where applicable. The DPLL was found to reach a locked state under a limited...

  • 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...

  • The InclusiveMag Method: A Start Towards More Inclusive Software for Diverse Populations

    Creator:
    Mendez, Christopher
    Abstract:
    How can software practitioners assess whether their software supports diverse users? Although there are empirical processes that can be used to find “inclusivity bugs” piecemeal, what is often needed is a systematic inspection method to assess software’s support for diverse populations. To help fill this gap, this thesis introduces InclusiveMag,...

  • Distributed OpenCL : a platform for distributed, heterogeneous computing for domain scientists

    Creator:
    Dillon, William H.
    Abstract:
    It is possible to purchase, for as little as $10,000, a cluster of computers with the capability to rival the supercomputers of only a few years ago. Now, users that have little to no experience developing distributed applications or managing a cluster are in a position to do so. To...

  • Meeting End-to-End Deadlines in Real-Time Networks Using Software Defined Networking (SDN)

    Creator:
    Almahdi, Rafid M.
    Abstract:
    Network flows in Real-Time (RT) systems need to meet stringent end-to-end deadlines in order for such systems to operate safely and reliably. Today, such systems use custom or domain specific network system designs to meet end-to-end deadlines and other constraints of real-time flows. In this work we explore the design...

  • Building Self Adaptive Software Systems via Test-based Modifications

    Creator:
    Christi, Arpit M.
    Abstract:
    Building software systems that adapt to the changing environment is challenging. Developers cannot anticipate all the changes in advance, and even if they could, the effort required to handle such situations is too onerous for practical purposes. Self Adaptive Software (SAS) adapts itself as per changing environment. The area of...

  • Web-based Deep Segmentation of Building Structure

    Creator:
    Chen, Zehuan
    Abstract:
    Deep learning and neural network has been widely used in research, deep learning has empowered many tasks such as point clouds segmentation and shape recognition. One of the main advantages of deep interaction point cloud segmentation is that it allows the feature extraction can be learned through neural network based...

  • Analytical Methods for Improving Causal Inference

    Creator:
    Sinha, Meghamala
    Abstract:
    Causal inference is an important analytical tool to bridge the gap between prediction and decision-making. However, learning a causal network solely from data is a challenging task. In this work, various techniques have been explored for a better and improved causal network learning from data. Firstly, the problem of learning...

    Abstract:
    Reasoning about 3D shape of objects is important for successful computer visionapplications in robotics, 3D rendering and modeling. In this thesis, we address twoproblems { First, given an image, we generate 3D shape of the foreground object thatappears in the image. Second, we predict the class label of the input...

    Abstract:
    The recent increase in the number of wireless devices has been driven by the growing markets of smart homes and the Internet of Things (IoT). Consequently, current research has focused on efficient utilization of the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to accommodate such an increase in wireless bandwidth. Alternatively, latest free-space...
