Imitation Learning Techniques for Robot Manipulation
Robots that can operate in unstructured environments and collaborate with humans play a major role in raising productivity and living standards as societies age. Unlike the robots currently used in industrial settings for ... -
Improved GMM-Based Classification Of Music Instrument Sounds
(2009-03-19)This thesis concerns with the recognition of music instruments from isolated notes. Music instrument recognition is a relatively nascent problem fast gaining importance not only because of the academic value the problem ... -
Index Coding over Noisy Channels and Some Applications
A broadcast channel that is very effective for disseminating common content becomes highly inefficient when the users request different content. To address this inefficiency of the broadcast channel over which a server ... -
Index Coding, Error Correcting Index Codes And Matroids
In the problem of index coding, there is a central source sending messages to a set of receivers which demand messages over a noiseless broadcast channel. Each receiver knows a subset of messages which is referred to as ... -
Influence Dynamics on Social Networks
(2018-02-15)With online social networks such as Facebook and Twitter becoming globally popular, there is renewed interest in understanding the structural and dynamical properties of social networks. In this thesis we study several ... -
Information Rates over Point-to-Point and Multi-user Wireless Channels with Energy and Delay Constraints
In this thesis, we consider communication systems having energy, delay and reliability constraints. We characterize optimal communication rates achievable over these systems. First we consider point-to-point communication ... -
Information-rich Sampling of Time-varying Signals
Confrontation with signal non-stationarity is a rule rather than an exception in the analysis of natural signals, such as speech, animal vocalization, music, bio-medical, atmospheric, ans seismic signals. Interestingly, ... -
Insights into Network Coding Using Tools From Linear Algebra and Matroid Theory
Traditionally, the transmission of information through a network was carried out using store-and-forward techniques. This entails managing information bits in a network analogous to commodity flow, without mixing or combining ... -
Integrated Interfaces for Sensing Applications
(2017-12-13)Sensor interfaces are needed to communicate the measured real-world analog values to the base¬band digital processor. They are dominated by the presence of high accuracy, high resolution analog to digital converters (ADC) ... -
