Feature Adaptation Algorithms for Reinforcement Learning with Applications to Wireless Sensor Networks And Road Traffic Control
(2017-09-20)
Many sequential decision making problems under uncertainty arising in engineering, science and economics are often modelled as Markov Decision Processes (MDPs). In the setting of MDPs, the goal is to and a state dependent ...
Symmetry in Scalar Fields
(2018-01-09)
Scalar fields are used to represent physical quantities measured over a domain of interest. Study of symmetric or repeating patterns in scalar fields is important in scientific data analysis because it gives deep insights ...
Delaunay Graphs for Various Geometric Objects
(2017-12-12)
Given a set of n points P ⊂ R2, the Delaunay graph of P for a family of geometric objects C is a graph defined as follows: the vertex set is P and two points p, p' ∈ P are connected by an edge if and only if there exists ...
A Case for Protecting Huge Pages from the Kernel
(2018-01-01)
Modern architectures support multiple size pages to facilitate applications that use large chunks of contiguous memory either for buffer allocation, application specific memory management, in-memory caching or garbage ...
Weighted Average Based Clock Synchronization Protocols For Wireless Sensor Networks
(2016-07-12)
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) consist of a large number of resource constrained sensor nodes equipped with various sensing devices which can monitor events in the real world. There are various applications such as ...
Mechanism Design For Strategic Crowdsourcing
(Indian Institute of Science, 2013-12-17)
This thesis looks into the economics of crowdsourcing using game theoretic modeling. The art of aggregating information and expertise from a diverse population has been in practice since a long time. The Internet and the ...
Learning Robust Support Vector Machine Classifiers With Uncertain Observations
(2015-08-19)
The central theme of the thesis is to study linear and non linear SVM formulations in the presence of uncertain observations. The main contribution of this thesis is to derive robust classfiers from partial knowledge of ...
Autonomous Spacecraft Mission Planning And Execution In A Petri Net Framework
(2014-08-01)
Presently, most spacecraft are controlled from ground involving activities such as up-linking the schedule of daily operations and monitoring health parameters. These activities lead to a cognitive overload on human ...
Precise Analysis of Private And Shared Caches for Tight WCET Estimates
(2017-10-31)
Worst Case Execution Time (WCET) is an important metric for programs running on real-time systems, and finding precise estimates of a program’s WCET is crucial to avoid over-allocation and wastage of hardware resources and ...
