Ballast-Free Variable-Speed Generation for Standalone and Grid-Connected Micro-Hydel Power Plants
(2017-12-12)Concerns about climate change brought about by the increasing usage of fossil fuels has made it imperative to develop sustainable energy usage based on renewable sources. Micro-hydel plants are an important source of ... -
Bandit Algorithms: Fairness, Welfare, and Applications in Causal Inference
We study regret in online learning from a welfarist perspective and explore an application of bandit algorithms in causal inference. We introduce Nash regret, which measures the difference between the optimal action ... -
Barrier Function Inspired Reward Shaping in Reinforcement Learning
Reinforcement Learning (RL) has progressed from simple control tasks to complex real-world challenges with large state spaces. During initial iterations of training in most Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithms, agents ... -
Battery Buffered Stiff Micro Grid Structure For A Variable Speed Slip Ring Induction Machine Based Wind Generation System
(2010-04-12)Electric power has become a basic necessity of human life. The major share of electric power comes from fossil fuel which results in global warming and pollution. A share of generated power comes from nuclear power which ... -
Battle of Bandits: Online Learning from Subsetwise Preferences and Other Structured Feedback
The elicitation and aggregation of preferences is often the key to making better decisions. Be it a perfume company wanting to relaunch their 5 most popular fragrances, a movie recommender system trying to rank the most ... -
Bayes Optimal Feature Selection for Supervised Learning
(2018-02-18)The problem of feature selection is critical in several areas of machine learning and data analysis such as, for example, cancer classification using gene expression data, text categorization, etc. In this work, we consider ... -
Bayesian Nonparametric Modeling of Temporal Coherence for Entity-Driven Video Analytics
(2018-05-14)In recent times there has been an explosion of online user-generated video content. This has generated significant research interest in video analytics. Human users understand videos based on high-level semantic ... -
Bayesian Techniques for Joint Sparse Signal Recovery: Theory and Algorithms
This thesis contributes new theoretical results, solution concepts, and algorithms concerning the Bayesian recovery of multiple joint sparse vectors from noisy and underdetermined linear measurements. The thesis is written ... -
Behavior of Distance Relay Characteristics on Interconnecting Lines Fed From Wind Farms
(2018-05-14)Distance relays due to their selectivity and operating speed are used in HV/EHV line protection. The dynamic nature of Mho characteristic, which happens to be most primitive technique in line protection implemented with ... -
Belief Propagation and Algorithms for Mean-Field Combinatorial Optimisations
(2017-11-15)We study combinatorial optimization problems on graphs in the mean-field model, which assigns independent and identically distributed random weights to the edges of the graph. Specifically, we focus on two generalizations ... -
Belief Propagation Based Signal Detection In Large-MIMO And UWB Systems
(2011-02-03)Large-dimensional communication systems are likely to play an important role in modern wireless communications, where dimensions can be in space, time, frequency and their combinations. Large dimensions can bring several ... -
Bidirectional Invertor With High Frequency Ac Link
(2010-09-22)It is customary to obtain ac power from batteries through a power converter, where mains ac power is not readily available. Such a power converter is also needed in several mobile/ airborne/ space applications. Till ... -
Binaural Source Localization using subband reliability and interaural time difference patterns
Machine localization of sound sources is necessary for a wide range of appli- cations, including human-robot interaction, surveillance and hearing aids. Robot sound localization algorithms have been proposed using ... -
Bitrate Reduction Techniques for Low-Complexity Surveillance Video Coding
(2017-09-26)High resolution surveillance video cameras are invaluable resources for effective crime prevention and forensic investigations. However, increasing communication bandwidth requirements of high definition surveillance videos ... -
Blind Detection Techniques For Spread Spectrum Audio Watermarking
(2009-08-13)In spreads pectrum (SS)watermarking of audio signals, since the watermark acts as an additive noise to the host audio signal, the most important challenge is to maintain perceptual transparency. Human perception is a very ... -
