Computational Models of Perceptual Space : From Simple Features to Complex Shapes
(2018-02-15)Dissimilarity plays a very important role in object recognition. But, finding perceptual dissimilarity between objects is non-trivial as it is not equivalent to the pixel dissimilarity between the objects (For example, two ... -
A Computational Platform For Automated Identification Of Building Blocks In Mechanical Design For Enhancing Ideation
(2016-09-09)Conceptual design is an early stage in the design process, in which functional requirements of a design problem are transformed into solution concepts for satisfying the requirements. It is regarded as a crucial step in ... -
Computational Problems In Codes On Graphs
(2009-05-11)Two standard graph representations for linear codes are the Tanner graph and the tailbiting trellis. Such graph representations allow the decoding problem for a code to be phrased as a computational problem on the corresponding ... -
Computational Protein Structure Analysis : Kernel And Spectral Methods
(2010-08-24)The focus of this thesis is to develop computational techniques for analysis of protein structures. We model protein structures as points in 3-dimensional space which in turn are modeled as weighted graphs. The problem of ... -
Computational Studies of Heavier Main Group Elements: Control of Lewis Acidity of Bi and Sb by Charge and Ligand Design, and Structural Variations of [Fe(CO)4]2E2 and E2CH2 Isomers (E = C–Pb)
Traditional main group compounds demonstrate Lewis acidity due to the presence of vacant p- orbitals. Hydrides of lighter main group elements, such as NH3, function as Lewis bases. However, introducing highly electronegative ... -
