Stochastic approximation with set-valued maps and Markov noise: Theoretical foundations and applications
Stochastic approximation algorithms produce estimates of a desired solution using noisy real world data. Introduced by Robbins and Monro, in 1951, stochastic approximation techniques have been instrumental in the asymptotic ... -
Stochastic Newton Methods With Enhanced Hessian Estimation
(2018-05-22)Optimization problems involving uncertainties are common in a variety of engineering disciplines such as transportation systems, manufacturing, communication networks, healthcare and finance. The large number of input ... -
Studies on Silicone Rubber Insulators used for High Voltage Transmission
(2018-08-20)Recently high temperature vulcanized (HTV) silicone rubber (SIR) / polymeric/composite insulators are gaining wider acceptance as overhead transmission line insulators for extra high voltage (EHV) and ultra-high voltage ... -
A Study of Thompson Sampling Approach for the Sleeping Multi-Armed Bandit Problem
(2018-05-29)The multi-armed bandit (MAB) problem provides a convenient abstraction for many online decision problems arising in modern applications including Internet display advertising, crowdsourcing, online procurement, smart grids, ... -
Sub-Nyquist Sampling and Super-Resolution Imaging
(2018-07-04)The Shannon sampling framework is widely used for discrete representation of analog bandlimited signals, starting from samples taken at the Nyquist rate. In many practical applications, signals are not bandlimited. In order ... -
Supervised Classification of Missense Mutations as Pathogenic or Tolerated using Ensemble Learning Methods
(2018-07-09)Missense mutations account for more than 50% of the mutations known to be involved in human inherited diseases. Missense classification is a challenging task that involves sequencing of the genome, identifying the variations, ... -
Topics in Network Utility Maximization : Interior Point and Finite-step Methods
(2018-03-12)Network utility maximization has emerged as a powerful tool in studying flow control, resource allocation and other cross-layer optimization problems. In this work, we study a flow control problem in the optimization ... -
Towards a Charcterization of the Symmetries of the Nisan-Wigderson Polynomial Family
(2018-07-09)Understanding the structure and complexity of a polynomial family is a fundamental problem of arithmetic circuit complexity. There are various approaches like studying the lower bounds, which deals with nding the smallest ... -
Utilizing Worker Groups And Task Dependencies in Crowdsourcing
Crowdsourcing has emerged as a convenient mechanism to collect human judgments on a variety of tasks, ranging from document and image classification to scientific experimentation. However, in recent times crowdsourcing has ... -
Wideband Rate Adaptation and Scheduling in OFDM Cellular Systems : Modeling, Analysis, and Base Station Side Estimation
Current and next generation wireless cellular systems strive to maximize spectral efficiency and meet the increasing demand for higher data rates despite being severely constrained by the limited availability of spectrum. ...
