Combining Algorithms For More General Ai, Mark Robert Musil
Combining Algorithms For More General Ai, Mark Robert Musil
Undergraduate Research & Mentoring Program
Two decades since the first convolutional neural network was introduced the AI sub-domains of classification, regression and prediction still rely heavily on a few ML architectures despite their flaws of being hungry for data, time, and high-end hardware while still lacking generality. In order to achieve more general intelligence that can perform one-shot learning, create internal representations, and recognize subtle patterns it is necessary to look for new ML system frameworks. Research on the interface between neuroscience and computational statistics/machine learning has suggested that combined algorithms may increase AI robustness in the same way that separate brain regions specialize. In …

Real-Time Object Detection And Tracking On Drones, Tu Le
Undergraduate Research & Mentoring Program
Unmanned aerial vehicles, also known as drones, have been more and more widely used in recent decades because of their mobility. They appear in many applications such as farming, search and rescue, entertainment, military, and so on. Such high demands for drones lead to the need of developments in drone technologies. Next generations of commercial and military drones are expected to be aware of surrounding objects while flying autonomously in different terrains and conditions. One of the biggest challenges to drone automation is the ability to detect and track objects of interest in real-time. While there are many robust machine …

Dissertations and Theses
Minimizing cost and optimization of nonlinear problems are important for industries in order to be competitive. The need of optimization strategies provides significant benefits for companies when providing quotes for products. Accurate and easily attained estimates allow for less waste, tighter tolerances, and better productivity. The Nelder-Mead Simplex method with exterior penalty functions was employed to solve optimum machining parameters. Two case studies were presented for optimizing cost and time for a multiple tools scenario. In this study, the optimum machining parameters for milling operations were investigated. Cutting speed and feed rate are considered as the most impactful design variables …
