Uncertainty-Aware Deep Learning For Prediction Of Remaining Useful Life Of Mechanical Systems, Samuel J. Cornelius Dec 2021

Uncertainty-Aware Deep Learning For Prediction Of Remaining Useful Life Of Mechanical Systems, Samuel J. Cornelius

Theses and Dissertations

Remaining useful life (RUL) prediction is a problem that researchers in the prognostics and health management (PHM) community have been studying for decades. Both physics-based and data-driven methods have been investigated, and in recent years, deep learning has gained significant attention. When sufficiently large and diverse datasets are available, deep neural networks can achieve state-of-the-art performance in RUL prediction for a variety of systems. However, for end users to trust the results of these models, especially as they are integrated into safety-critical systems, RUL prediction uncertainty must be captured. This work explores an approach for estimating both epistemic and heteroscedastic …


Deep Learning For Weather Clustering And Forecasting, Nathaniel R. Beveridge Sep 2021

Deep Learning For Weather Clustering And Forecasting, Nathaniel R. Beveridge

Theses and Dissertations

Clustering weather data is a valuable endeavor in multiple respects. The results can be used in various ways within a larger weather prediction framework or could simply serve as an analytical tool for characterizing climatic differences of a particular region of interest. This research proposes a methodology for clustering geographic locations based on the similarity in shape of their temperature time series over a long time horizon of approximately 11 months. To this end an emerging and powerful class of clustering techniques that leverages deep learning, called deep representation clustering (DRC), are utilized. Moreover, a time series specific DRC algorithm …


Wound Image Classification Using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks, Behrouz Rostami May 2021

Wound Image Classification Using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks, Behrouz Rostami

Theses and Dissertations

Artificial Intelligence (AI) includes subfields like Machine Learning (ML) and DeepLearning (DL) and discusses intelligent systems that mimic human behaviors. ML has been used in a wide range of fields. Particularly in the healthcare domain, medical images often need to be carefully processed via such operations as classification and segmentation. Unlike traditional ML methods, DL algorithms are based on deep neural networks that are trained on a large amount of labeled data to extract features without human intervention. DL algorithms have become popular and powerful in classifying and segmenting medical images in recent years. In this thesis, we shall study …
