Cluster-Based Chained Transfer Learning For Energy Forecasting With Big Data, Yifang Tian

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

Smart meter popularity has resulted in the ability to collect big energy data and has created opportunities for large-scale energy forecasting. Machine Learning (ML) techniques commonly used for forecasting, such as neural networks, involve computationally intensive training typically with data from a single building/group to predict future consumption for that same building/group. With hundreds of thousands of smart meters, it becomes impractical or even infeasible to individually train a model for each meter. Consequently, this paper proposes Cluster-Based Chained Transfer Learning (CBCTL), an approach for building neural network-based models for many meters by taking advantage of already trained models through …

Multiple Face Detection And Recognition System Design Applying Deep Learning In Web Browsers Using Javascript, Cristhian Gabriel Espinosa Sandoval

Computer Science and Computer Engineering Undergraduate Honors Theses

Deep learning has advanced progressively in the last years and now demonstrates state-of-the-art performance in various fields. In the era of big data, transformation of data into valuable knowledge has become one of the most important challenges in computing. Therefore, we will review multiple algorithms for face recognition that have been researched for a long time and are maturely developed, and analyze deep learning, presenting examples of current research.

To provide a useful and comprehensive perspective, in this paper we categorize research by deep learning architecture, including neural networks, convolutional neural networks, depthwise Separable Convolutions, densely connected convolutional networks, and …

Improved Study Of Side-Channel Attacks Using Recurrent Neural Networks, Muhammad Abu Naser Rony Chowdhury

Boise State University Theses and Dissertations

Differential power analysis attacks are special kinds of side-channel attacks where power traces are considered as the side-channel information to launch the attack. These attacks are threatening and significant security issues for modern cryptographic devices such as smart cards, and Point of Sale (POS) machine; because after careful analysis of the power traces, the attacker can break any secured encryption algorithm and can steal sensitive information.

In our work, we study differential power analysis attack using two popular neural networks: Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Our work seeks to answer three research questions(RQs):

RQ1: Is it …

Large-Scale Data Analysis And Deep Learning Using Distributed Cyberinfrastructures And High Performance Computing, Richard Dodge Platania

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Data in many research fields continues to grow in both size and complexity. For instance, recent technological advances have caused an increased throughput in data in various biological-related endeavors, such as DNA sequencing, molecular simulations, and medical imaging. In addition, the variance in the types of data (textual, signal, image, etc.) adds an additional complexity in analyzing the data. As such, there is a need for uniquely developed applications that cater towards the type of data. Several considerations must be made when attempting to create a tool for a particular dataset. First, we must consider the type of algorithm required …

Unresolved Object Detection Using Synthetic Data Generation And Artificial Neural Networks, Yong U. Sinn

Theses and Dissertations

This research presents and solves constrained real-world problems of using synthetic data to train artificial neural networks (ANNs) to detect unresolved moving objects in wide field of view (WFOV) electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) satellite motion imagery. Objectives include demonstrating the use of the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) Sensor and Scene Emulation Tool (ASSET) as an effective tool for generating EO/IR motion imagery representative of real WFOV sensors and describing the ANN architectures, training, and testing results obtained. Deep learning using a 3-D convolutional neural network (3D ConvNet), long short term memory (LSTM) network, and U-Net are used to solve the …
