Improving Ultra-Wideband Localization By Detecting Radio Misclassification, Cory A. Mayer
Improving Ultra-Wideband Localization By Detecting Radio Misclassification, Cory A. Mayer
Master's Theses
The Global Positioning System (GPS) and other satellite-based positioning systems are often a key component in applications requiring localization. However, accurate positioning in areas with poor GPS coverage, such as inside buildings and in dense cities, is in increasing demand for many modern applications. Fortunately, recent developments in ultra-wideband (UWB) radio technology have enabled precise positioning in places where it was not previously possible by utilizing multipath-resistant wide band pulses.
Although ultra-wideband signals are less prone to multipath interference, it is still a bottleneck as increasingly ambitious projects continue to demand higher precision. Some UWB radios include on-board detection of …

Fake News Detection: A Deep Learning Approach, Aswini Thota, Priyanka Tilak, Simrat Ahluwalia, Nibrat Lohia
SMU Data Science Review
Fake news is defined as a made-up story with an intention to deceive or to mislead. In this paper we present the solution to the task of fake news detection by using Deep Learning architectures. Gartner research [1] predicts that “By 2022, most people in mature economies will consume more false information than true information”. The exponential increase in production and distribution of inaccurate news presents an immediate need for automatically tagging and detecting such twisted news articles. However, automated detection of fake news is a hard task to accomplish as it requires the model to understand nuances in natural …
Neuro-Fuzzy Identification Of Nonlinear Dependencies, Avazjon Marakhimov, Kabul Khudaybergenov
Neuro-Fuzzy Identification Of Nonlinear Dependencies, Avazjon Marakhimov, Kabul Khudaybergenov
Bulletin of National University of Uzbekistan: Mathematics and Natural Sciences
The paper proposes a fuzzy multilayer perceptron (MLP) and a modified algorithm for its training for solving problems of identification of nonlinear dependencies. The obtained results show a sharp reduction in the search for the optimal parameters of the neuro-fuzzy model compared to classical MLP and increase its accuracy. In the work, questions of optimization of the rule base of the neuro-fuzzy model are also investigated and the temporal and spatial complexity of the proposed algorithm is analyzed. The results of computational experiments show that the number of training epochs has sharply decreased, and productivity has increased compared to the …
Object Localization, Segmentation, And Classification In 3d Images, Allan Zelener
Object Localization, Segmentation, And Classification In 3d Images, Allan Zelener
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
We address the problem of identifying objects of interest in 3D images as a set of related tasks involving localization of objects within a scene, segmentation of observed object instances from other scene elements, classifying detected objects into semantic categories, and estimating the 3D pose of detected objects within the scene. The increasing availability of 3D sensors motivates us to leverage large amounts of 3D data to train machine learning models to address these tasks in 3D images. Leveraging recent advances in deep learning has allowed us to develop models capable of addressing these tasks and optimizing these tasks jointly …
Modeling And Mapping Location-Dependent Human Appearance, Zachary Bessinger
Modeling And Mapping Location-Dependent Human Appearance, Zachary Bessinger
Theses and Dissertations--Computer Science
Human appearance is highly variable and depends on individual preferences, such as fashion, facial expression, and makeup. These preferences depend on many factors including a person's sense of style, what they are doing, and the weather. These factors, in turn, are dependent upon geographic location and time. In our work, we build computational models to learn the relationship between human appearance, geographic location, and time. The primary contributions are a framework for collecting and processing geotagged imagery of people, a large dataset collected by our framework, and several generative and discriminative models that use our dataset to learn the relationship …
Recurrent Neural Networks And Their Applications To Rna Secondary Structure Inference, Devin Willmott
Recurrent Neural Networks And Their Applications To Rna Secondary Structure Inference, Devin Willmott
Theses and Dissertations--Mathematics
Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) are state of the art sequential machine learning tools, but have difficulty learning sequences with long-range dependencies due to the exponential growth or decay of gradients backpropagated through the RNN. Some methods overcome this problem by modifying the standard RNN architecure to force the recurrent weight matrix W to remain orthogonal throughout training. The first half of this thesis presents a novel orthogonal RNN architecture that enforces orthogonality of W by parametrizing with a skew-symmetric matrix via the Cayley transform. We present rules for backpropagation through the Cayley transform, show how to deal with the Cayley …

Catastrophic forgetting has a significant negative impact in reinforcement learning. The purpose of this study is to investigate how pseudorehearsal can change performance of an actor-critic agent with neural-network function approximation. We tested agent in a pole balancing task and compared different pseudorehearsal approaches. We have found that pseudorehearsal can assist learning and decrease forgetting.
