Special Nuclear Material Classification and Mass Content Estimation Using Temporal Gamma-Ray Spectroscopy and Machine Learning Methods

Creator:

Curtis, Jessica R.

Abstract:

Improving the methods used for the detection and estimation of fissile material mass content is essential to nuclear security and safeguards to ensure special nuclear material (SNM) accountability, control, safety and security. With the continued expansion of the nuclear industry and the need for safe management of spent fuel, improving...

Limiting Behavior of Stochastic Processes Involving Martingale Structures

Creator:

Mukherjee, Arpita

Abstract:

A stochastic process is given by a family of random variables indexed by elements of a set. We have considered stochastic processes of three different types, each involving an associated martingale structure. Martingale is a sequence of random variables for which the conditional expectation at a certain time point given...

Domain-Independent Planning for Markov Decision Processes with Factored State and Action Spaces

Creator:

Raghavan, Aswin

Abstract:

Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) are the de-facto formalism for studying sequential decision making problems with uncertainty, ranging from classical problems such as inventory control and path planning, to more complex problems such as reservoir control under rainfall uncertainty and emergency response optimization for fire and medical emergencies. Most prior research...
