  • Methods for Detection and Recovery of Out-of-Distribution Examples

    Creator:
    Ratzlaff, Neale J.
    Abstract:
    Deep neural networks currently comprise the backbone of many applications where safety is a critical concern, for example: autonomous driving and medical diagnostics. Unfortunately these systems currently fail to detect out-of-distribution (OOD) inputs and can be prone to making dangerous errors when exposed to them. In addition, these same systems...

  • Deep Learning for Human and Biological Languages

    Creator:
    Hong, Junki
    Abstract:
    We explore the application of deep learning to the disparate fields of natural language processing and computational biology. Both the sentences uttered by humans as well as the RNA and protein sequences found within the cells of their bodies can be considered formal languages in computer science, as sets of...

  • 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...

  • Efficient Incremental Panorama Reconstruction from Multiple Videos

    Creator:
    Feng, Zhongyuan
    Abstract:
    Constructing a panorama from a set of videos is a long-standing problem in computer vision. A panorama represents an enhanced still-image representation of an entire scene captured in a set of videos, where each video shows only a part of the scene. Importantly, a panorama shows only the scene background,...

  • Activity recognition in desktop environments

    Creator:
    Shen, Jianqiang
    Abstract:
    Knowledge workers are struggling in the information flood. There is a growing interest in intelligent desktop environments that help knowledge workers organize their daily life. Intelligent desktop environments allow the desktop user to define a set of “activities” that characterize the user’s desktop work. These environments then attempt to identify...

  • Machine learning for improving the quality of citizen science data

    Creator:
    Yu, Jun
    Abstract:
    Citizen Science is a paradigm in which volunteers from the general public participate in scientific studies, often by performing data collection. This paradigm is especially useful if the scope of the study is too broad to be performed by a limited number of trained scientists. Although citizen scientists can contribute...

  • Anomaly Detection and Probabilistic Diagnosis for Automated Data Quality Control

    Creator:
    Zemicheal, Tadesse H.
    Abstract:
    Advances in sensor technology are greatly expanding the range of quantities that can be measured while simultaneously reducing the cost. However, deployed sensors drift out of calibration and fail, so every sensor network requires quality control procedures to promptly detect these failures. To address these problems, we propose a two-level...

  • 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...

  • Efficient Algorithms for Robust Spatiotemporal Data Analysis

    Creator:
    Moore, Travis W.
    Abstract:
    Many large-scale data analysis applications involve data that can vary over both time and space. Often the primary goal of analyzing spatiotemporal data is identifying trends, movements, and sudden changes with respect to time, location, or both. This can include a variety of applications in economics (housing prices, unemployment, job...

  • Toward Disentangling the Activations of the Deep Networks via Low-dimensional Embedding and Non-negative Factorization

    Creator:
    Khorram, Saeed
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, we introduce a novel Explanation Neural Network (XNN) to explain the predictions made by a deep network. The XNN works by embedding a high-dimensional activation vector of a deep network layer non-linearly into a low-dimensional explanation space while retaining faithfulness i.e., the original deep learning predictions can...
