Design, high-level synthesis, and discrete optimization of digital filters based on particle swarm optimization
DownloadFall 2011
This thesis is concerned with the development of a novel discrete particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique and its application to the discrete optimization of digital filter frequency response characteristics on the one hand, and the high-level synthesis of bit-parallel digital filter...

Spring 2011
We propose a novel approach for detecting visual similarity between two web pages. The proposed approach applies Gestalt theory and considers a webpage as a single indivisible entity. The concept of supersignals, as a realization of Gestalt principles, supports our contention that web pages must...

Developing and Evaluating Algorithms for Fixing Omission and Commission Errors in Structured Data
DownloadFall 2020
The use of machine learning is rapidly rising to deliver a variety of benefits in various domains. However, developing predictive systems often faces many challenges that can drastically delay model deployment. For instance, obtaining labeled training data is one of the most expensive bottlenecks...

Fall 2012
In this thesis, two Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) are designed in MATLAB to perform causality analysis and alarm management. Finding out the root-cause of a fault scenario or an abnormality in a large industrial process typically requires one to logically analyze cause and effect relationships...
