  • Crowdsourcing via Pairwise Co-occurrences: Identifiability and Algorithms

    Creator:
    Ibrahim, Shahana
    Abstract:
    Crowdsourcing is a popular paradigm to address the high demands for labeled data in big data deluge. It aims to produce accurate labels by effectively integrating noisy, non-expert labeling from crowdsourced workers (annotators). The machine learning community has been studying effective crowdsourcing methods for many years, and many models and...

  • Weak-supervision Time-series Analysis

    Creator:
    You, Zeyu
    Abstract:
    Efficient time-series analysis can impact multiple application domains such as motif discovery in gene analysis or music data, extracting spectro-temporal patterns in acoustic scene analysis, or annotating and classifying electrical bio-signals (such as ECG, EEG, and EMG) for medical applications. Time-series analysis involves a variety of tasks. To predict future...

  • Learning algorithms for adapting the compliance of robotic limbs

    Creator:
    Aboufazeli, Mahtab
    Abstract:
    Motivation: Many robots such as legged robots and prosthetic hands/arms are designed to interact with uncertain and time-varying environments to accomplish their tasks. Observations on humans and animals during their daily tasks suggest that they adapt their leg compliance while traversing with different velocities on different grounds and adjust their...

  • Applications of Magnetic Materials in Soft Robotics

    Creator:
    Davis, William M.
    Abstract:
    Magnetic materials can be used in modern soft robotics as a method for external stimulus actuation and motion control. By combining aspects of biology and mechanics, devices are fabricated to create a structure capable of complex movement. Applications that these devices are subject to can be broken down into four...

  • Silicon Microring Resonator Driven by High-Mobility Conductive Oxide Capacitor

    Creator:
    Hsu, Wei-Che
    Abstract:
    Silicon photonics has rapidly become one of the most promising photonic integration platforms. Especially, microring resonator (MRR) plays a pivotal role in silicon photonics and has been widely used for electro-optic (E-O) modulators and wavelength filters due to its small footprint, low energy consumption, and high quality factor (Q-factor). Recently,...

  • Indoor Localization Using Direction of Arrival Approach

    Creator:
    Zhang, Tingwei
    Abstract:
    In this paper, a Direction of Arrival (DOA) based system is proposed. This method searches the direction relative to the array to find where the signal source is located. The proposed system can achieve sub-meter level accuracy with a near real-time update rate. Also, we introduced several refinement methods including...

  • Assessment of High Mobility Oxide Thin-Film Transistors

    Creator:
    Stewart, Kevin A.
    Abstract:
    The trend towards higher resolution, faster refresh rate active-matrix liquid-crystal displays (AMLCDs) as well as the emergence of active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) displays is driving the demand for amorphous oxide semiconductor thin-film transistors (AOS TFTs) with higher mobility. A physics-based model for carrier transport in an amorphous semiconductor is...

  • Non-enzymatic electrochemical sensors based on functionalized nanomaterials

    Creator:
    Wu, Bo
    Abstract:
    Unlike other biosensing, electrochemical biosensor has the advantages of robustness, easy miniaturization, excellent detection limits, and capability in handling small analyte volumes. The detection selectivity of the electrochemical biosensors is mainly supported by bioreceptors. However, these receptors always suffer from the performance variation caused by the environment and the thermal-...

  • Ultra-Wideband Relay Communication Systems

    Creator:
    Abbasi, Arash
    Abstract:
    Impulse-radio ultra-wide-band (IR-UWB) signaling is a promising technique for high-speed, short-range relay communications networks. Depending on how the relay node retransmits the signal, there are two main relay schemes: conventional one-directional (one-way) relay model, and bi-directional (two-way) relay model. In bi-directional relay communications, wireless network coding (WNC), also called physical-layer...

  • Switch-capacitor Power Amplifier with Enhanced Power Back-off Efficiency and Linearity

    Creator:
    Qiao, Bo
    Abstract:
    Nowadays, wireless communication systems use high-order quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) together with orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) to increase the link capacity and robustness. These signals always have large peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) and require power amplifiers (PAs) achieve both high efficiency and linearity simultaneously. For the efficiency, the complementary metal...
