Model-Based Deep Learning For Computational Imaging, Xiaojian Xu
Model-Based Deep Learning For Computational Imaging, Xiaojian Xu
McKelvey School of Engineering Theses & Dissertations
This dissertation addresses model-based deep learning for computational imaging. The motivation of our work is driven by the increasing interests in the combination of imaging model, which provides data-consistency guarantees to the observed measurements, and deep learning, which provides advanced prior modeling driven by data. Following this idea, we develop multiple algorithms by integrating the classical model-based optimization and modern deep learning to enable efficient and reliable imaging. We demonstrate the performance of our algorithms by validating their performance on various imaging applications and providing rigorous theoretical analysis.
The dissertation evaluates and extends three general frameworks, plug-and-play priors (PnP), regularized …

Curricular Optimization: Solving For The Optimal Student Success Pathway, William G. Thompson-Arjona
Theses and Dissertations--Electrical and Computer Engineering
Considering the significant investment of higher education made by students and their families, graduating in a timely manner is of the utmost importance. Delay attributed to drop out or the retaking of a course adds cost and negatively affects a student’s academic progression. Considering this, it becomes paramount for institutions to focus on student success in relation to term scheduling.
Often overlooked, complexity of a course schedule may be one of the most important factors in whether or not a student successfully completes his or her degree. More often than not students entering an institution as a first time full …
Algorithms For Training Large-Scale Linear Programming Support Vector Regression And Classification, Pablo Rivas Perea
Algorithms For Training Large-Scale Linear Programming Support Vector Regression And Classification, Pablo Rivas Perea
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
The main contribution of this dissertation is the development of a method to train a Support Vector Regression (SVR) model for the large-scale case where the number of training samples supersedes the computational resources. The proposed scheme consists of posing the SVR problem entirely as a Linear Programming (LP) problem and on the development of a sequential optimization method based on variables decomposition, constraints decomposition, and the use of primal-dual interior point methods. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach has comparable performance with other SV-based classifiers. Particularly, experiments demonstrate that as the problem size increases, the sparser the solution …
Decentralized Coordination Of Multiple Autonomous Vehicles, Yongcan Cao
Decentralized Coordination Of Multiple Autonomous Vehicles, Yongcan Cao
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
This dissertation focuses on the study of decentralized coordination algorithms of multiple autonomous vehicles. Here, the term decentralized coordination is used to refer to the behavior that a group of vehicles reaches the desired group behavior via local interaction. Research is conducted towards designing and analyzing distributed coordination algorithms to achieve desired group behavior in the presence of none, one, and multiple group reference states.
Decentralized coordination in the absence of any group reference state is a very active research topic in the systems and controls society. We first focus on studying decentralized coordination problems for both single-integrator kinematics and …
