A Nonlinear Stochastic Optimization Framework For RED
(2011-09-23) -
Nonstationary Techniques For Signal Enhancement With Applications To Speech, ECG, And Nonuniformly-Sampled Signals
(2015-07-22)For time-varying signals such as speech and audio, short-time analysis becomes necessary to compute specific signal attributes and to keep track of their evolution. The standard technique is the short-time Fourier transform ... -
Novel Algorithms for Improving Agricultural Planning and Operations using Artificial Intelligence and Game Theory
This dissertation work is motivated by the critical need to address a perennial global problem, namely, how to mitigate the distress of the small and marginal agricultural farmers in emerging economies. Key reasons behind ... -
A Novel Approach for Tuning of Power System Stabilizer Using Genetic Algorithm
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-02-11)The problem of dynamic stability of power system has challenged power system engineers since over three decades now. In a generator, the electromechanical coupling between the rotor and the rest of the system causes it to ... -
Novel First-order Algorithms for Non-smooth Optimization Problems in Machine Learning
This thesis is devoted to designing efficient optimization algorithms for machine learning (ML) problems where the underlying objective function to be optimized is convex but not necessarily differentiable. Such non-smooth ... -
A Novel Game Theoretic And Voting Mechanism Based Approach For Carbon Emissions Reduction
(2014-08-07)Global warming is currently a major challenge facing the world. There are widespread ongoing efforts in the form of summits, conferences, etc., to find satisfactory ways of surmounting this challenge. The basic objective ... -
A Novel Generalized Analytical Framework to Diagnose True Radial and Axial Displacements in an Actual Transformer Winding
(2017-12-02)Frequency response analysis (FRA) has emerged as the de-facto industry standard condition-monitoring tool to assess mechanical integrity of transformer windings during its service life. It the prerequisite detection ... -
A Novel Higher Order Noise Shaping Sigma-Delta Modulator
(2010-06-04)The thesis focuses on a higher order noise-shaping Δ ADC architecture which employs filtered quantization error as a dither signal. Furthermore, the work studies implementation challenges using Switched-Capacitor and ... -
Novel Mechanisms For Allocation Of Heterogeneous Items In Strategic Settings
(2012-04-20)Allocation of objects or resources to competing agents is a ubiquitous problem in the real world. For example, a federal government may wish to allocate different types of spectrum licenses to telecom service providers; a ... -
Novel Methods For Estimation Of Static Nonlinearity Of High-Speed High-Resolution Waveform Digitizers
(2011-01-20)Analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is the main workhorse in a digital waveform recorder. Strictly speaking, an ADC is supposed to perform uniformly, irrespective of the characteristics of the signal to be acquired. However, ... -
Novel Neural Architecture for Multi-Hop Question Answering
Natural language understanding has been one of the key drivers responsible for advancing the eld of AI. To this end, automated Question Answering (QA) has served as an effective way of measuring the language understanding ... -
A Novel Neural Network Architecture for Sentiment-oriented Aspect-Opinion Pair Extraction
Over the years, fine-grained opinion mining in online reviews has received great attention from the NLP research community. It involves different tasks such as Aspect Term Extraction (ATE), Opinion Term Extraction (OTE), ... -
A Novel Passive Regenerative Snubber for the Phase-Shifted Full-Bridge Converter: Analysis, Design and Experimental Verification
The development of Wide Bandgap (WBG) devices has enabled power electronic converters to operate at much higher frequencies, voltages and high power. Working at a higher switching frequency minimises the size of magnetics ... -
Novel Regularized Image Reconstruction Algorithms for Sparse Photoacoustic Tomography
Among all tissue imaging modalities, photo-acoustic tomography (PAT), has been getting increasing attention in the recent past due to the fact that it has high contrast, high penetrability, and has capability of retrieving ... -
Novel Reinforcement Learning Algorithms and Applications to Hybrid Control Design Problems
The thesis is a compilation of two independent works. In the first work, we develop novel weight assignment procedure, which helps us develop several schedule based algorithms. Learning the value function of a given policy ... -
A Novel Technique For Enhancing The Pollution Flashover Strength Of Ceramic Disc Insulators
(2013-07-16)Pollution is the single largest cause of transmission/distribution line outages, next to lightning, which result in expensive power outages. A major significance of the problem is that it can repeatedly occur even at ... -
nuKSM: NUMA-aware Memory De-duplication for Multi-socket Servers
An operating system's memory management has multiple goals, e.g. reducing memory access latencies, reducing memory footprint. These goals can conflict with each other when independent subsystems optimize them in silos. ...
