Decentralized Multi-Robot Exploration with Sparse Communication through Deep Imitation Learning

Creator:

Senewiratne, Yomal K.

Abstract:

We present a method for decentralized, multi-robot exploration in adverse environments where communication is minimal. A key conceptual feature of our method is enabling implicit coordination between robots by training a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) as a heuristic for planning using Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS). Our method consists of...

Masters Thesis
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...

Enhancing Search-Based Techniques with Information Control Dependencies

Creator:

Aburas, Ali

Abstract:

Software testing is a very important task during software development and it can be used to improve the quality and reliability of the software system. One potential way to reduce the cost and increase the efficiency of software testing is to generate test data automatically. Search-based approaches successfully generate unit...

Network Coding, Random Matrices, and Their Applications to Communication Systems

Creator:

Nguyen-Huu, Duong

Abstract:

In this work, we study network coding technique, its relation to random matrices, and their applications to communication systems. The dissertation consists of three main contributions. First, we propose efficient algorithms for data synchronization via a broadcast channel using random network coding. Second, we study the resiliency of network coding...
