  • Probabilities of voting paradoxes with three candidates

    Creator:
    McDonald, Leslie M.
    Abstract:
    Pardoxes in voting has been an interest of voting theorists since the 1800's when Condorcet demonstrated the key example of a voting paradox: voters with individually transitive rankings produce an election outcome which is not transitive. With Arrow's Impossibility Theorem, the hope of finding a fair voting method which accurately...

  • Usable and Scalable Querying of Scientific Datasets

    Creator:
    McCamish, Benjamin J.
    Abstract:
    Scientists and engineers have to analyze and query multiple large databases. Analysis over databases created by phasor measurement units can provide insight into the health of the grid, thereby improving control over operations. Realizing this data-driven control, however, requires validating, processing and storing massive amounts of PMU data efficiently, which...

  • 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...

  • Toward Automated Decision-Making in Power Systems Wide-Area Protection

    Creator:
    Meier, Richard John
    Abstract:
    In recent years there have been many improvements in the reliability of critical infrastructure systems. Despite these improvements and despite targeted efforts to improve the operation and control of the electric grid, the power systems industry has seen relatively small advances in this regard. For instance, today's power system is...

  • Planning in multi-agent partially observable domains using sparse sampling

    Creator:
    Donneau-Golencer, Thierry D.
    Abstract:
    A large number of sequential decision-making problems in uncertain environments can be modeled as Markov Decision Processes (MDPs). In such settings, an agent can observe at each time step the state of the environment and then executes an action, causing a stochastic transition to a new state of the environment...

  • Revenue-based spectrum management via Markov decision process

    Creator:
    Zhu, Pingan
    Abstract:
    We consider the problem of wireless spectrum management in cognitive wireless networks that maximizes the revenue for a spectrum operator. Specifically, we study the problem on how a wireless spectrum operator can optimally allocate its limited spectrum to various classes users/devices who pay differently for their spectrum per unit time....

  • Weakly Supervised Learning for Activity Recognition from Time Series Data

    Creator:
    Guan, Xinze
    Abstract:
    The thesis focuses on activity recognition from sensor data, which has spurred a great deal of interest due to its impact on health care and security. Previous work on activity recognition from multivariate time series data has mainly applied supervised learning techniques which require a high degree of annotation effort...

  • Customizable Visual Traces for Program Explanations

    Creator:
    Bajaj, Divya
    Abstract:
    Correctness and efficiency are important properties of programs. However, to support maintenance and debugging, the programs should also be understandable. Program explanations also play a vital role in educational settings, enhancing the understanding of programs among students. Proof trees provide a sound basis for generating dynamic explanations of programs. But...

  • Adaptive Movement Intent Decoding for Intuitive Control of Neuroprostheses

    Creator:
    George, Damon A.
    Abstract:
    Movement intent decoders, which interpret volitional movement intent from human bioelectric signals, can be incorporated into modern neuroprostheses to offer people living with limb loss or paralysis the potential to regain their lost motor control. Machine learning methods have become the research standard for continuous decoders with high degrees of...

  • 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...
