  • Large Scale Tensor Decomposition Algorithms Using Block-randomized Stochastic Proximal Gradient

    Creator:
    Gao, Cheng
    Abstract:
    We consider the problem of computing the cannonical polyadic decomposition (CPD) for large-scale dense tensors. This work is a combination of alternating least squares and fiber sampling. Data sparsity can be leveraged to handle large tensor CPD, but this route is not feasible for dense data. Inspired by stochastic optimization's...

  • Graph Imitation Learning for Optimal Joint Beamforming and Antenna Selection

    Creator:
    Shrestha, Sagar
    Abstract:
    Transmit beamforming is an important technique employed to improve efficiency and signal quality in wireless communication systems by steering signals towards their in- tended users. It often arises jointly with the antenna selection problem due to various reasons, such as limited number of radio frequency (RF) chains and energy/resource effi-...

  • Action Segmentation in Videos: Deep Models, Prediction Diffusion, and Deep-Temporal Augmentations

    Creator:
    Aziere, Nicolas
    Abstract:
    This paper addresses the high model complexity and overconfident frame labeling of state-of-the-art (SOTA) action segmenters. Their complexity is typically justified by the need to sequentially refine action segmentation through multiple stages of a deep architecture. However, this multistage refinement does not take into account uncertainty of frame labeling predicted...

  • 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...

  • Semantic image segmentation using domain constraints

    Creator:
    Roy, Anirban
    Abstract:
    This dissertation addresses the problem of semantic labeling of image pixels. In the course of our work, we considered different types of semantic labels, including object classes (e.g., car, person), 3D depth values (in the range 0 to 80 meters), and affordance classes (e.g., walkable, sittable). Semantic pixel labeling is...

  • Explanations and Processes to Enable Humans to Assess AI with Respect to Manipulable Properties

    Creator:
    Dodge, Jonathan E.
    Abstract:
    Assessing AI systems is difficult. Humans rely on AI systems in increasing ways, both visible and invisible, meaning a variety of stakeholders need a variety of assessment tools (e.g., a professional auditor, a developer, and an end user all have different needs). We posit that it is possible to provide...

  • Semantic embodied navigation : developing agents that navigate from language and vision

    Creator:
    Krantz, Jacob
    Abstract:
    Autonomous robotic agents are on their way to becoming in-home personal assistants, construction assistants, and warehouse workers. The degree of autonomy of such systems is reflected by the manner in which we specify goals to them; the abstraction of low-level commands to high-level goals goes hand-in-hand with increased autonomy. In...

  • Investigating Latent State and Uncertainty Representations in Reinforcement Learning

    Creator:
    Koul, Anurag
    Abstract:
    Learning latent space representations of high-dimensional world states has been at the core of recent rapid growth in reinforcement learning(RL). At the same time, RL algo- rithms have suffered from ignored uncertainties in the predicted estimates of model-free or model-based methods. In our work, we investigate both of these aspects...
