Temporal Dynamics In Diabetes Prediction: A Sensor-Driven Time-Series Exploration, Monica Meduri
Master's Projects
Diabetes is a lifelong illness that, if not detected or managed appropriately, turns into serious complications. Correct glucose forecasting is critical to ensuring timely interventions, thereby minimizing risks of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia, and optimizing the management strategies of the disease. Classical machine learning models have been applied in the blood glucose forecasting problem for a long time, however, usage of transformer-based architectures is still scarce within the literature. Due to the self-attention mechanism, transformers can capture temporal relationships very effectively, which makes them suitable for time-series data.

Intelligent Caching In Named Data Networking, Deep Pradipbhai Shah
Master's Projects
Named Data Networking (NDN) has a built-in caching capability that is enabled with the help of its Content Store. Caching in NDN has several benefits, such as reducing overhead on the producer side, avoiding a single point of failure, and reducing network load. The primary caching policy of the NDN architecture is to leave copies everywhere. However, this scheme induces significant cache redundancy. Existing advanced cache techniques either periodically share the entire list of cached content at a node or make a caching decision without knowing the cached content at other nodes in the network. We propose an intelligent cache …
