Spring 2016
Technical computing is a cornerstone of modern scientific practice. Within technical computing, the matrix-vector (MV) framework, composed of MV algebra and MV software, dominates the discipline in representing and manipulating linear mappings applied to vectors. Indeed, prominent technical...

Fall 2022
This thesis investigates observer-based secure control problems for platooning of connected vehicles in the presence of Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks. DoS attacks usually prevent the vehicle-to-vehicle data packets transmission which will lead to performance degradation of platooning system or...

On Applications of Multi-Armed Bandit and Bayesian Optimization Approaches for AutoML Problems
DownloadSpring 2022
Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) aims to alleviate human efforts and automate the time-consuming and iterative processes in the development of machine learning methods. In this thesis, we study two AutoML tasks: automated Data Augmentation (DA) and Hyperparameter Optimization (HPO). Automated...

Fall 2023
One of the main challenges in distributed computing are straggling servers i.e. servers that have temporary or permanent delay in sending the result of the computations assigned to them. One of the proposed methods to address the straggler problem is using forward error correction codes to encode...

On Computation and Implementation Techniques for Fast and Parallel Electromagnetic Transient Power System Simulation
DownloadSpring 2021
Electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulation is a paramount tool to study the electrical system's behavior and reproduce the transient waveforms prior to manufacturing and deployment. However, the simulation process slows down significantly when the circuit scale expands, and thus the fast and...

Fall 2022
The proportion of renewable energy versus conventional generation has been increasing significantly worldwide due to enhanced environmental standards, bringing with it a host of technical and operational challenges. Restrictions on available transfer capacities leading to severe congestion of...

Fall 2015
The cancellation of co-channel interference (CCI) is extremely vital in the nextgeneration wireless systems, where universal frequency reuse is commonly used to maximize the capacity. The implementation of CCI cancellation at the receivers instead of the transmitters minimizes the additional...

Fall 2023
Distributed computing systems have been widely used in recent years to handle massive computations required by newly emerged machine learning algorithms and signal processing problems. Also, the use of error correction codes has been proposed to mitigate the negative impact of slow workers by...

On the Application of Continuous Deterministic Reinforcement Learning in Neural Architecture Search
DownloadSpring 2021
Architecture evaluation is a major bottleneck of Neural Architecture Search (NAS). Recent trends have seen a shift in favor of weight-sharing networks capable of superimposing all possible candidate architectures in a search space. Nevertheless, this technique is not beyond reproach, and has...
