Self-Supervised Domain Adaptation Frameworks for Computer Vision Tasks
There is a strong incentive to build intelligent machines that can understand and adapt to changes in the visual world without human supervision. While humans and animals learn to perceive the world on their own, almost ... -
Semantic Analysis of Web Pages for Task-based Personal Web Interactions
(2017-11-27)Mobile widgets now form a new paradigm of simplified web. Probably, the best experience of the Web is when a user has a widget for every frequently executed task, and can execute it anytime, anywhere on any device. However, ... -
Semi Conducting Metal Oxide Gas Sensors: Development And Related Instrumentation
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-05-21)A sensor is a technological device or biological organ that detects, or senses, a signal or physical condition and chemical compounds. Technological developments in the recent decades have brought along with it several ... -
Semi-active Control of Earthquake Induced Vibrations in Building Structures using MR Dampers: Algorithm Development and Benchmark Application
The thrust of this thesis is the development of two different kinds of feed-forward control strategy using the semi-active device MR damper to monitor MR damper supply current/voltage. The study develops a feed-forward ... -
Semi-active Control Of Earthquake Induced Vibrations In Structures Using MR Dampers : Algorithm Development, Experimental Verification And Benchmark Applications
(2010-08-16)As Civil Engineering structures, e.g., tall buildings, long span bridges, deep water offshore platforms, nuclear power plants, etc., have become more costly, complex and serve more critical functions, the consequences of ... -
Semi-Markov Processes In Dynamic Games And Finance
(2010-07-01)Two different sets of problems are addressed in this thesis. The first one is on partially observed semi-Markov Games (POSMG) and the second one is on semi-Markov modulated financial market model. In this thesis we study ... -
Semi-Supervised Classification Using Gaussian Processes
(2010-03-26)Gaussian Processes (GPs) are promising Bayesian methods for classification and regression problems. They have also been used for semi-supervised classification tasks. In this thesis, we propose new algorithms for solving ... -
Semiconductor Photocatalysts For The Detoxification Of Water Pollutants
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-06-15)Water pollution is a major concern in vast countries such as India and other developing nations. Several methods of water purification have been practiced since many decades, Semiconductor photocatalysis is a promising ... -
Semiotic Studies on Holistic Order in Product Design
(2018-02-16)‘Holistic Order’ is a new term used in this study. In literature, its synonyms such as beauty, order, visual order, and aesthetic order have been in usage for a long time. Historical studies on arts & crafts from philosophical ... -
Semipolar And Nonpolar Group III-Nitride Heterostructures By Plasma-Assisted Molecular Beam Epitaxy
(2015-09-08)Group III-nitride semiconductors are well suited for the fabrication of devices including visible-ultraviolet light emitting diodes, high-temperature and high-frequency devices. The wurtzite III-nitride based heterostructures ... -
Semisolid Die Casting of Wrought A6061 Aluminium Alloy
(2018-04-02)The mechanical properties achieved with high performance wrought aluminium alloys are superior to cast aluminum alloys. To obtain an intricate shaped component, wrought alloys are commonly subjected to forging followed by ... -
Sensitivity of Sea Surface Temperature Intraseasonal Oscillation to Diurnal Atmospheric Forcings in an OGCM
(2018-04-05)Abstract The diurnal cycle is a dominant mode of sea surface temperature (SST) variability in trop-ical oceans, that influences air-sea interaction and climate processes. Diurnal variability of SST generally ranges from ... -
Sensory Ecology Of Acoustic Communication In The Tropical Bushcricket Genus Mecopoda : Mechanisms And Evolution Of Synchrony
(2009-07-10)In this thesis, I characterise five species of the bushcricket genus Mecopoda with respect to their acoustic signals and morphology and investigate the phenomenon of acoustic synchrony in one of these five species: Mecopoda ... -
Sentiment-Driven Topic Analysis Of Song Lyrics
