Feature Adaptation Algorithms for Reinforcement Learning with Applications to Wireless Sensor Networks And Road Traffic Control
(2017-09-20)
Many sequential decision making problems under uncertainty arising in engineering, science and economics are often modelled as Markov Decision Processes (MDPs). In the setting of MDPs, the goal is to and a state dependent ...
Model-Checking Infinite-State Systems For Information Flow Security Properties
(2017-02-16)
Information flow properties are away of specifying security properties of systems ,dating back to the work of Goguen and Meseguer in the eighties. In this framework ,a system is modeled as having high-level (or confidential)events ...
Automatic Data Allocation, Buffer Management And Data Movement For Multi-GPU Machines
(2017-05-24)
Multi-GPU machines are being increasingly used in high performance computing. These machines are being used both as standalone work stations to run computations on medium to large data sizes (tens of gigabytes) and as a ...
Computational And Combinatorial Problems On Some Geometric Proximity Graphs
(2017-05-24)
In this thesis, we focus on the study of computational and combinatorial problems on various geometric proximity graphs. Delaunay and Gabriel graphs are widely studied geometric proximity structures. These graphs have been ...
Retweet Profiling - Study Dissemination of Twitter Messages
(2017-09-23)
Social media has become an important means of everyday communication. It is a mechanism for “sharing” and “resharing” of information. While social network platforms provide the means to users for resharing/reblogging (aka ...
Provable Methods for Non-negative Matrix Factorization
(2017-10-31)
Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) is an important data-analysis problem which concerns factoring a given d n matrix A with nonnegative entries into matrices B and C where B and C are d k and k n with nonnegative ...
Tiling Stencil Computations To Maximize Parallelism
(2017-05-21)
Stencil computations are iterative kernels often used to simulate the change in a discretized spatial domain overtime (e.g., computational fluid dynamics) or to solve for unknowns in a discretized space by converging to a ...
MIST : Mlgrate The Storage Too
(2017-05-25)
We address the problem of migration of local storage of desktop users to remote sites. Assuming a network connection is maintained between the source and destination after the migration makes it possible for us to transfer ...
Methods for Text Segmentation from Scene Images
(2017-09-27)
Recognition of text from camera-captured scene/born-digital images help in the development of aids for the blind, unmanned navigation systems and spam filters. However, text in such images is not confined to any page layout, ...
Resource Allocation for Sequential Decision Making Under Uncertainaty : Studies in Vehicular Traffic Control, Service Systems, Sensor Networks and Mechanism Design
(2017-11-27)
A fundamental question in a sequential decision making setting under uncertainty is “how to allocate resources amongst competing entities so as to maximize the rewards accumulated in the long run?”. The resources allocated ...
