Nonparametric Bayesian Deep Learning For Scientific Data Analysis, Devanshu Agrawal Dec 2020

Nonparametric Bayesian Deep Learning For Scientific Data Analysis, Devanshu Agrawal

Doctoral Dissertations

Deep learning (DL) has emerged as the leading paradigm for predictive modeling in a variety of domains, especially those involving large volumes of high-dimensional spatio-temporal data such as images and text. With the rise of big data in scientific and engineering problems, there is now considerable interest in the research and development of DL for scientific applications. The scientific domain, however, poses unique challenges for DL, including special emphasis on interpretability and robustness. In particular, a priority of the Department of Energy (DOE) is the research and development of probabilistic ML methods that are robust to overfitting and offer reliable …


Fusion-Net: Integration Of Dimension Reduction And Deep Learning Neural Network For Image Classification, Mohammad Masum, Philippe Laval Jan 2020

Fusion-Net: Integration Of Dimension Reduction And Deep Learning Neural Network For Image Classification, Mohammad Masum, Philippe Laval

Published and Grey Literature from PhD Candidates

Building a deep network using original digital images requires learning many parameters which may reduce the accuracy rates. The images can be compressed by using dimension reduction methods and extracted reduced features can be feeding into a deep network for classification. Hence, in the training phase of the network, the number of parameters will be decreased. Principal Component Analysis is a well-known dimension reduction technique that leverage orthogonal linear transformation of the original data. In this paper, we propose a neural network-based framework, named Fusion-Net, which implements PCA on an image dataset (CIFAR-10) and then a neural network applies on …


Experiments On The Neural Network Approach To The Handwritten Digit Classification Problem, William Meissner Jan 2020

Experiments On The Neural Network Approach To The Handwritten Digit Classification Problem, William Meissner

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

When the MNIST dataset was introduced in 1998, training a network was a multiple week problem in order to receive results far less accurate than an average CPU can produce within a couple of hours today. While this indicates that training a network on such a dataset is not the complicated problem it may have been twenty years ago, the MNIST dataset makes a good tool for study and testing with beginner and medium complexity neural networks. This paper follows along with the work presented in the online textbook “Neural Networks and Deep Learning” by Michael Nielson and an updated …
