Wayne State University Dissertations
Deep learning methods have achieved great success in the areas of Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing. Recently, the rapidly developing field of deep learning is concerned with questions surrounding how we can learn meaningful and effective representations of data. This is because the performance of machine learning approaches is heavily dependent on the choice and quality of data representation, and different kinds of representation entangle and hide the different explanatory factors of variation behind the data.
In this dissertation, we focus on representation learning with deep neural networks for different data formats including text, 3D polygon shapes, and brain …

Predictable Reliability In Inter-Vehicle Communications, Chuan Li
Wayne State University Dissertations
Predictably reliable communication in wireless networked sensing and control systems (WSC) is a basic enabler for performance guarantee. Yet current research efforts are either focus on maximizing throughput or based on inaccurate interference modelling methods, which yield unsatisfactory results in terms of communication reliability. In this dissertation, we discuss techniques that enable reliable communication in both traditional wireless sensor networks and highly mobile inter-vehicle communication networks. We focus our discussion on traditional wireless sensor networks in Chapter 2 where we discuss mechanisms that enable predictable and reliable communications with no centralized infrastructures. With the promising results in Chapter 2, we …

Deep Learning Methods For Visual Object Recognition, Zeyad Hailat
Wayne State University Dissertations
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) attain state-of-the-art performance on various classification tasks assuming a sufficiently large number of labeled training examples. Unfortunately, curating sufficiently large labeled training dataset requires human involvement, which is expensive, time-consuming, and susceptible to noisy labels. Semi-supervised learning methods can alleviate the aforementioned problems by employing one of two techniques. First, utilizing a limited number of labeled data in conjunction with sufficiently large unlabeled data to construct a classification model. Second, exploiting sufficiently large noisy label training data to learn a classification model. In this dissertation, we proposed a few new methods to mitigate the aforementioned problems. …

Real-Time Guarantees For Wireless Networked Sensing And Control, Yu Chen
Wayne State University Dissertations
Wireless networks are increasingly being explored for mission-critical sensing and control in emerging domains such as connected and automated vehicles, Industrial 4.0, and smart city. In wireless networked sensing and control (WSC) systems, reliable and real- time delivery of sensed data plays a crucial role for the control decision since out-of-date information will often be irrelevant and even leads to negative effects to the system. Since WSC differs dramatically from the traditional real-time (RT) systems due to its wireless nature, new design objective and perspective are necessary to achieve real-time guarantees.
First, we proposed Optimal Node Activation Multiple Access (ONAMA) …

Qualitative Change Detection Approach For Preventive Therapies, Cristina Mitrea
Wayne State University Dissertations
Currently, most diseases are diagnosed only after disease-associated changes have occurred. In this PhD dissertation, we propose a paradigm shift from treating the disease to maintaining the healthy state. The proposed approach is able to identify when systemic qualitative changes in biological systems happen, thus opening the possibility of therapeutic interventions before the occurrence of symptoms. The change detection method exploits knowledge from biological networks and longitudinal data using a system impact analysis approach. This approach is validated on eight datasets, for seven different model organisms and eight biological phenomena. On these data, our proposed method performs well, consistently identifying …

Wayne State University Dissertations
Despite the attention that Raman Spectroscopy has gained recently in the area of pathogen identification, the spectra analyses techniques are not well developed. In most scenarios, they rely on expert intervention to detect and assign the peaks of the spectra to specific molecular vibration. Although some investigators have used machine-learning techniques to classify pathogens, these studies are usually limited to a specific application, and the generalization of these techniques is not clear. Also, a wide range of algorithms have been developed for classification problems, however, there is less insight to applying such methods on Raman spectra. Furthermore, analyzing the Raman …
