Improving Classification In Single And Multi-View Images, Hadi Kanaan Hadi Salman
Improving Classification In Single And Multi-View Images, Hadi Kanaan Hadi Salman
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Image classification is a sub-field of computer vision that focuses on identifying objects within digital images. In order to improve image classification we must address the following areas of improvement: 1) Single and Multi-View data quality using data pre-processing techniques. 2) Enhancing deep feature learning to extract alternative representation of the data. 3) Improving decision or prediction of labels. This dissertation presents a series of four published papers that explore different improvements of image classification. In our first paper, we explore the Siamese network architecture to create a Convolution Neural Network based similarity metric. We learn the priority features that …
Lignin Copolymer Property Prediction Using Machine Learning, Collin Larsen
Lignin Copolymer Property Prediction Using Machine Learning, Collin Larsen
Chemical Engineering Undergraduate Honors Theses
Lignin, an abundant biopolymer, is a waste byproduct of the paper and pulp industry. Despite its renewable nature and potential applicability in various products, such as plastics and composites, the development of lignin-based materials has been impeded by the cumbersome, Edisonian process of trial and error. This research proposes a novel approach to forecasting the properties of lignin-based copolymers by utilizing a recurrent neural network (RNN) based on the Keras models previously created by Tao et al. Example units of modified lignin were synthesized via esterification and amination functional group modifications. To increase the efficiency and accuracy of the prediction …
Signal Processing And Data Analysis For Real-Time Intermodal Freight Classification Through A Multimodal Sensor System., Enrique J. Sanchez Headley
Signal Processing And Data Analysis For Real-Time Intermodal Freight Classification Through A Multimodal Sensor System., Enrique J. Sanchez Headley
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Identifying freight patterns in transit is a common need among commercial and municipal entities. For example, the allocation of resources among Departments of Transportation is often predicated on an understanding of freight patterns along major highways. There exist multiple sensor systems to detect and count vehicles at areas of interest. Many of these sensors are limited in their ability to detect more specific features of vehicles in traffic or are unable to perform well in adverse weather conditions. Despite this limitation, to date there is little comparative analysis among Laser Imaging and Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) sensors for freight detection …
Training Machine Learning Agents In A 3d Game Engine, Diego Calderon
Training Machine Learning Agents In A 3d Game Engine, Diego Calderon
Computer Science and Computer Engineering Undergraduate Honors Theses
Artificial intelligence (AI) and video games benefit from each other. Games provide a challenging domain for testing learning algorithms, and AI provides a framework to designing and implementing intelligent behavior, which reinforces meaningful play. Medium and small studios, and independent game developers, have limited resources to design, implement, and maintain agents with reactive behavior. In this research, we trained agents using machine learning (ML), aiming to find an alternative to expensive traditional algorithms for intelligent behavior used in video games. We use Unity as a game engine to implement the environments and TensorFlow for the neural network training.
Operating System Identification By Ipv6 Communication Using Machine Learning Ensembles, Adrian Ordorica
Operating System Identification By Ipv6 Communication Using Machine Learning Ensembles, Adrian Ordorica
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Operating system (OS) identification tools, sometimes called fingerprinting tools, are essential for the reconnaissance phase of penetration testing. While OS identification is traditionally performed by passive or active tools that use fingerprint databases, very little work has focused on using machine learning techniques. Moreover, significantly more work has focused on IPv4 than IPv6. We introduce a collaborative neural network ensemble that uses a unique voting system and a random forest ensemble to deliver accurate predictions. This approach uses IPv6 features as well as packet metadata features for OS identification. Our experiment shows that our approach is valid and we achieve …
