Laser-based Diagnostics and Numerical Simulations of Syngas Combustion in a Trapped Vortex Combustor
(2017-11-16)Syngas consisting mainly of a mixture of carbon monoxide, hydrogen and other diluents, is an important fuel for power generation applications since it can be obtained from both biomass and coal gasification. Clean coal ... -
Late Cenozoic climate reconstruction from the Northern Indian Ocean using foraminiferal clumped isotope thermometry and stable isotope technique
The Late Cenozoic era (23.03 million years ago to the present) offers a critical time window to examine the role of greenhouse gases, notably CO2 (ranging between 910 ppm and 180 ppm), in the operation of Earth's system ... -
Lattice Boltzmann Relaxation Scheme for Compressible Flows
(2018-03-09)Lattice Boltzmann Method has been quite successful for incompressible flows. Its extension for compressible (especially supersonic and hypersonic) flows has attracted lot of attention in recent time. There have been ... -
Lattice Boltzmann Relaxation Schemes for High Speed Flows
The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has emerged as a highly efficient model for the simulation of incompressible flows in the last few decades. Its extension to compressible flows is hindered by the fact that the ... -
Lattice Codes for Secure Communication and Secret Key Generation
(2018-05-22)In this work, we study two problems in information-theoretic security. Firstly, we study a wireless network where two nodes want to securely exchange messages via an honest-but-curious bidirectional relay. There is no ... -
Lay Tracks : New approach to automated quadrilateral mesh generation using MAT
This thesis describes Lay Tracks, a new mesh generation algorithm to automatically generate an all quad mesh using the medial axis transform (MAT). LayTracks combines the merits of two popular direct techniques for quad ... -
Layered Metal Dichalcogenides-Based Hybrid Devices for Resistive Sensing
During the past few decades, photodetectors (PDs) are being regarded as the crucial components of many photonic devices which are being used in various important applications. However, the PDs based on the traditional bulk ... -

Learing automata algorithms for connectionist systems local and global convergence
Connectionist systems have been studied with much interest as models for the brain and also as systems which work in a parallel and distributed manner. These systems exhibit desirable properties such as learning capability ... -
A Learnable Distillation Approach For Model-agnostic Explainability With Multimodal Applications
Deep neural networks are the most widely used examples of sophisticated mapping functions from feature space to class labels. In the recent years, several high impact decisions in domains such as finance, healthcare, law ... -
Learning Across Domains: Applications to Text-based Person Search and Multi-Source Domain Adaptation
With rapid development in technology and ubiquitous presence of diverse types of sensors, a large amount of data from different modalities (e.g., text, audio, images etc.) describing the same person/ object/event has ... -
Learning Action Priors for Deep Visual Predictions
This thesis addresses the critical challenge of visual prediction in mobile robotics, particularly focusing on scenarios where cameras mounted on autonomous robots must navigate dynamic environments with human presence. ... -
Learning Algorithms for stochastic automata-
Reported in this thesis is the study of nonlinear learning algorithms or reinforcement schemes for multi-state stochastic automata acting in stationary random media with unknown response characteristics. Such stochastic ... -
Learning Algorithms Using Chance-Constrained Programs
(2010-07-08)This thesis explores Chance-Constrained Programming (CCP) in the context of learning. It is shown that chance-constraint approaches lead to improved algorithms for three important learning problems — classification with ... -
Learning Compact Architectures for Deep Neural Networks
(2018-05-22)Deep neural networks with millions of parameters are at the heart of many state of the art computer vision models. However, recent works have shown that models with much smaller number of parameters can often perform just ... -
