Hand Analysis From Depth Images, Mohammad Rezaei
Hand Analysis From Depth Images, Mohammad Rezaei
Computer Science and Engineering Dissertations
Hand analysis using vision systems is necessary for interaction between people and digital devices and thus is crucial in many applications relating to computer vision and human computer interaction (HCI). The proposed dissertation will explore hand analysis from depth images along two lines: hand part segmentation and 3D hand pose estimation. First, we investigate hand part segmentation from depth images, which is formulated as a semantic segmentation task. We explore a method aimed at determining for every pixel what hand part it belongs to. This method attempts to perform this task without requiring the ground-truth segmentation labels for training. It …

Advancing The Radiation Oncology Clinic With Motion Management And Automatic Treatment Planning, Damon Anton Sprouts
Bioengineering Dissertations
The leading cause of premature death (death under the age of 70) is cancer. The top five cancers for both male and female are: lung, colorectum, pancreas, breast cancer, and prostate. In 2020 there was an estimated 19.3 million new cases with an estimated 9.9 million deaths. The cancer burden is expected to grow to 28.4 million by the year 2040. Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy are the three pillars in the modern clinic for cancer treatment. In radiotherapy, ionizing radiation particles can travel through the patient body, deposit energy along the way and damage the DNA Structure. There needs to …
Deep Learning For Protein Property And Structure Prediction, Yuzhi Guo
Deep Learning For Protein Property And Structure Prediction, Yuzhi Guo
Computer Science and Engineering Dissertations
I present my work towards solving the fundamental, challenging, and valuable problem for protein property and structure prediction. Specifically, I focus on solving the problem from three critical aspects: (1) designing powerful deep learning networks for specific protein structure property prediction tasks; (2) proposing general methods that enhancing the protein sequence homologous feature, which is an important input feature of relevant tasks; (3) developing a self-supervised pre-training model for learning structure embeddings from protein tertiary structures. To evaluate the effectiveness of the developed methods, I apply several protein downstream tasks including protein secondary structure, solvent accessibility, backbone dihedral angles, protein …
Robust Noise-Based Attacks Against Audio Event Detection Systems, Rodrigo Augusto Silva Dos Santos
Robust Noise-Based Attacks Against Audio Event Detection Systems, Rodrigo Augusto Silva Dos Santos
Computer Science and Engineering Dissertations
The massive advances on the field of deep neural networks in the 2000 and 2010 decades led to an overwhelming adoption of these algorithms on all sorts of domains and applications. Under this widespread adoption scenario, it is natural that these neural networks have also been employed on safety-related use cases, bringing substantial improvements to the performance of existing as well as novel systems. Examples of these safety-inclined applications include scene recognition, object detection and tracking, speech recognition, audio event detection and classification, just to cite a few ones. Unfortunately, these neural network algorithms have been shown to be vulnerable …
Exploring Deep Learning In Finance, Abhijit Anand Anand Deshpande
Exploring Deep Learning In Finance, Abhijit Anand Anand Deshpande
Industrial, Manufacturing, and Systems Theses
Financial market analysis is process of analyzing market closely and predict the next move of market whether it will go up or down using historical data. Financial market is stochastic and has rapid changes over time, therefore it is very difficult to predict. The main goal of this work is to understand novel approaches of machine learning in finance, data parsing techniques, labelling the financial data. Furthermore, understand state of art Transformer model and implement and compare results with other traditional machine learning algorithms. Experiment carried out in python along with pytorch.
