Deep Parameter Selection For Classic Computer Vision Applications, Michael Whitney
Theses and Dissertations
A trend in computer vision today is to retire older, so-called "classic'' methods in favor of ones based on deep neural networks. This has led to tremendous improvements in many areas, but for some problems deep neural solutions may not yet exist or be of practical application. For this and other reasons, classic methods are still widely used in a variety of applications. This paper explores the possibility of using deep neural networks to improve these older methods instead of replace them. In particular, it addresses the issue of parameter selection in these algorithms by using a neural network to …

Deep Learning-Guided Prediction Of Material’S Microstructures And Applications To Advanced Manufacturing, Jianan Tang
Deep Learning-Guided Prediction Of Material’S Microstructures And Applications To Advanced Manufacturing, Jianan Tang
All Dissertations
Material microstructure prediction based on processing conditions is very useful in advanced manufacturing. Trial-and-error experiments are very time-consuming to exhaust numerous combinations of processing parameters and characterize the resulting microstructures. To accelerate process development and optimization, researchers have explored microstructure prediction methods, including physical-based modeling and feature-based machine learning. Nevertheless, they both have limitations. Physical-based modeling consumes too much computational power. And in feature-based machine learning, low-dimensional microstructural features are manually extracted to represent high-dimensional microstructures, which leads to information loss.
In this dissertation, a deep learning-guided microstructure prediction framework is established. It uses a conditional generative adversarial network (CGAN) …

Theses
SOC (Security Operation Center) analysts historically struggled to keep up with the growing sophistication and daily prevalence of cyber attackers. To aid in the detection of cyber threats, many tools like IDS’s (Intrusion Detection Systems) are utilized to monitor cyber threats on a network. However, a common problem with these tools is the volume of the logs generated is extreme and does not stop, further increasing the chance for an adversary to go unnoticed until it’s too late. Typically, the initial evidence of an attack is not an isolated event but a part of a larger attack campaign describing prior …
Contrastive Learning For Unsupervised Auditory Texture Models, Christina Trexler
Contrastive Learning For Unsupervised Auditory Texture Models, Christina Trexler
Computer Science and Computer Engineering Undergraduate Honors Theses
Sounds with a high level of stationarity, also known as sound textures, have perceptually relevant features which can be captured by stimulus-computable models. This makes texture-like sounds, such as those made by rain, wind, and fire, an appealing test case for understanding the underlying mechanisms of auditory recognition. Previous auditory texture models typically measured statistics from auditory filter bank representations, and the statistics they used were somewhat ad-hoc, hand-engineered through a process of trial and error. Here, we investigate whether a better auditory texture representation can be obtained via contrastive learning, taking advantage of the stationarity of auditory textures to …

Deepfakes Generated By Generative Adversarial Networks, Olympia A. Paul
Honors College Theses
Deep learning is a type of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that mimics the workings of the human brain in processing data such as speech recognition, visual object recognition, object detection, language translation, and making decisions. A Generative adversarial network (GAN) is a special type of deep learning, designed by Goodfellow et al. (2014), which is what we call convolution neural networks (CNN). How a GAN works is that when given a training set, they can generate new data with the same information as the training set, and this is often what we refer to as deep fakes. CNN takes an input …

Deep Learning Models For Irregularly Sampled And Incomplete Time Series, Satya Narayan Shukla
Doctoral Dissertations
Irregularly sampled time series data arise naturally in many application domains including biology, ecology, climate science, astronomy, geology, finance, and health. Such data present fundamental challenges to many classical models from machine learning and statistics. The first challenge with modeling such data is the presence of variable time gaps between the observation time points. The second challenge is that the dimensionality of the inputs can be different for different data cases. This occurs naturally due to the fact that different data cases are likely to include different numbers of observations. The third challenge is that different irregularly sampled instances have …
Towards More Trustworthy Deep Learning: Accurate, Resilient, And Explainable Countermeasures Against Adversarial Examples, Fei Zuo
Theses and Dissertations
Despite the great achievements made by neural networks on tasks such as image classification, they are brittle and vulnerable to adversarial example (AE) attacks, which are crafted by adding human-imperceptible perturbations to inputs in order that a neural-network-based classifier incorrectly labels them. Along with the prevalence of deep learning techniques, the threat of AEs attracts increasingly attentions since it may lead to serious consequences in some vital applications such as disease diagnosis.
To defeat attacks based on AEs, both detection and defensive techniques attract the research community’s attention. Given an input image, the detection system outputs whether it is an …
