Stochastic Optimization And Its Application In Reinforcement Learning
Numerous engineering fields, such as transportation systems, manufacturing, communication networks, healthcare, and finance, frequently encounter problems requiring optimization in the presence of uncertainty. Simulation-based ... -
Flavivirus RNA replication: Probe development, structural dynamics, and role of zinc ions.
Flaviviruses share a typical genome architecture where the highly conserved UTRs flank a central coding region. They also share a common genome replication strategy called genome cyclization where the UTRs interact to form ... -
Homogenization of PDEs on oscillating boundary domains with L1 data and optimal control problems
This thesis comprehensively studies the homogenization of partial differential equations (PDEs) and optimal control problems with oscillating coefficients in oscillating domains. After the introduction, the thesis is divided ... -
Isoform Specific Synthetic Glutathione Peroxidase Mimetics in Redox Regulation of Cell Death and Diseases
Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced oxidative stress has been implicated in various pathologies and cell death processes. Cells have antioxidant systems to neutralize the harmful effects of excess ROS. Glutathione ... -
Leveraging KG Embeddings for Knowledge Graph Question Answering
Knowledge graphs (KG) are multi-relational graphs consisting of entities as nodes and relations among them as typed edges. The goal of knowledge graph question answering (KGQA) is to answer natural language queries posed ... -
Augmenting Hyperspectral Image Unmixing Models Using Spatial Correlation, Spectral Variability, And Sparsity
Hyperspectral imaging sensors sample sunlight reflected from different targets on Earth's surface by utilising a series of contiguous narrow spectral channels. The higher spectral resolution of hyperspectral images (HSIs) ... -
Algorithms for Online Learning in Structured Environments
Online learning deals with the study of making decisions sequentially using information gathered along the way. Typical goals of an online learning agent can be to maximize the reward gained during learning or to identify ... -
