Dynamic Headpose Classification and Video Retargeting with Human Attention
(2018-07-14)Over the years, extensive research has been devoted to the study of people's head pose due to its relevance in security, human-computer interaction, advertising as well as cognitive, neuro and behavioural psychology. One ... -
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, ... -
Compilation of Graph Algorithms for Hybrid, Cross-Platform and Distributed Architectures
(2018-07-09)1. Main Contributions made by the supplicant: This thesis proposes an Open Computing Language (OpenCL) framework to address the challenges of implementation of graph algorithms on parallel architectures and large scale ... -
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 ... -
On Codes for Private Information Retrieval and Ceph Implementation of a High-Rate Regenerating Code
(2018-07-09)Error-control codes, which are being extensively used in communication systems, have found themselves very useful in data storage as well during the past decade. This thesis deals with two types of codes for data storage, ... -
Stochastic Approximation Algorithms with Set-valued Dynamics : Theory and Applications
(2018-07-05)Stochastic approximation algorithms encompass a class of iterative schemes that converge to a sought value through a series of successive approximations. Such algorithms converge even when the observations are erroneous. ... -
Ranking from Pairwise Comparisons : The Role of the Pairwise Preference Matrix
(2018-07-05)Ranking a set of candidates or items from pair-wise comparisons is a fundamental problem that arises in many settings such as elections, recommendation systems, sports team rankings, document rankings and so on. Indeed it ... -
Secret Key Generation in the Multiterminal Source Model : Communication and Other Aspects
(2018-07-04)This dissertation is primarily concerned with the communication required to achieve secret key (SK) capacity in a multiterminal source model. The multiterminal source model introduced by Csiszár and Narayan consists of a ... -
Optimal Mechanisms for Selling Two Heterogeneous Items
(2018-07-04)We consider the problem of designing revenue-optimal mechanisms for selling two heterogeneous items to a single buyer. Designing a revenue-optimal mechanism for selling a single item is simple: Set a threshold price based ... -
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 ... -
Efficient Static Analyses for Concurrent Programs
(2018-06-29)Concurrent programs are pervasive owing to the increasing adoption of multi-core systems across the entire computing spectrum. However, the large set of possible program behaviors make it difficult to write correct and ... -
Physical Layer Impairments Aware Transparent Wavelength Routed and Flexible-Grid Optical Networks
(2018-06-26)Optical WDM network is the suitable transport mechanism for ever increasing bandwidth intensive internet applications. The WDM technique transmits the data over several different wavelengths simultaneously through an ... -
Power Scaling Mechanism for Low Power Wireless Receivers
(2018-06-26)LOW power operation for wireless radio receivers has been gaining importance lately on account of the recent spurt of growth in the usage of ubiquitous embedded mobile devices. These devices are becoming relevant in all ... -
Content Dissemination in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
(2018-06-26)In this thesis, we are concerned with content dissemination in mobile ad hoc networks. The scope of content dissemination is limited by network capacity, and sometimes the price to be paid for securing faster delivery. In ... -
Polymage : Automatic Optimization for Image Processing Pipelines
(2018-06-25)Image processing pipelines are ubiquitous. Every image captured by a camera and every image uploaded on social networks like Google+or Facebook is processed by a pipeline. Applications in a wide range of domains like ... -
A Refinement-Based Methodology for Verifying Abstract Data Type Implementations
(2018-06-21)This thesis is about techniques for proving the functional correctness of Abstract Data Type (ADT) implementations. We provide a framework for proving the functional correctness of imperative language implementations of ... -
Number Theoretic, Computational and Cryptographic Aspects of a Certain Sequence of Arithmetic Progressions
(2018-06-21)This thesis introduces a new mathematical object: collection of arithmetic progressions with elements satisfying the inverse property, \j-th terms of i-th and (i+1)-th progressions are multiplicative inverses of each other ... -
