In this work, we present a unified, general approach to variance reduction in agent evaluation using machine learning to minimize variance. Evaluating an agent's performance in a stochastic setting is necessary for agent development, scientific evaluation, and competitions. Traditionally,...

Riverbank erosion poses significant environmental and infrastructural challenges, including soil loss, damage to infrastructure, flooding, and threats to wildlife and vegetation. Erosion control structures are essential for mitigating this issue, and geobags have been used as a fundamental...

The analysis of wide-angle cellular light scattering patterns is a challenging problem. Small changes to the organization, orientation, shape, and optical properties of scatterers and scattering populations can significantly alter their complex two-dimensional scattering signatures. Because of...

This thesis concentrates on the construction of directional tensor product complex tight framelets. It uses a complex tight framelet filter bank in one dimension and the tensor product of the one-dimensional filter bank to obtain high-dimensional filter bank. It has a number of advantages over...

It is well known that most information of an image is contained in its edges. Therefore capturing edges in an image is of fundamental importance in image processing. Tensor product real-valued wavelets only capture edges along the horizontal and vertical direc- tions. Hence they are only...

Multi-phase jet in crossflow (MJC) garnered significant attention across a range of applications, including artificial aeration in oceans, lakes, and rivers. As of yet, the vast majority of the MJC literature focuses on pure gas or solid injection into crossflow, and limited studies pay attention...
