Towards Explainable Ai On Graph Neural Networks: Xaig, Jiaxing Zhang

Dissertations

In the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence (AI), Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have garnered growing prominence for their adeptness in processing graph-structured data. Despite this, the interpretability of their predictions often remains elusive. The demand for transparency and explainability in complex prediction models has reached unprecedented levels. To address this, post-hoc instance-level explanation techniques have emerged, aiming to unveil the rationale behind GNN predictions. These techniques endeavor to unearth substructures that elucidate the predictive behavior of trained GNNs.

This dissertation embarks on an exploration of Explainable AI (XAI) technologies within the realm of GNNs. Amid the challenges posed by the …

A Novel Framework For Dynamic Graph Representation Learning With Mamba, Ashish Pandey

Theses

Dynamic graph embedding is a key technique for modeling temporal dependencies in evolving networks. While transformer-based models perform well, their quadratic complexity limits scalability on long graph sequences. This thesis compares transformer approaches with the Mamba architecture-a linear-complexity state-space model—for temporal graph embedding.

Two frameworks are proposed: DG-Mamba and GDG-Mamba. DG-Mamba uses standard GCN-based spatial encoding, while GDG-Mamba incorporates domain-aware edge features using Graph Isomorphism Network with Edge Convolution (GraphGINE). Experiments on UCI, Reality Mining, Slashdot, Bitcoin-OTC, and SBM datasets show that Mamba-based models match or exceed transformer performance, especially on graphs with high temporal variability.

The thesis also applies …

Interaction Of Liquid Phase Diisopropyl Methyl Phosphonate (Dimp) With Material Surrogates For Components Of Soil And Combustion Products Of Metal Fuels, Khushi Sunil Patel

Theses

Combustion products of three different Al-based materials, Al-CaCO₃, Al-SiO₂, and Al-Fe₂O₃ , have been produced to understand their interaction with liquid diisopropyl methyl phosphonate (DIMP), a surrogate for chemical weapon agents. The purpose of this is to see which materials were more effective at DIMP adsorption and decomposition at different temperatures. Prepared materials were characterized using electron microscopy, x-ray powder diffraction, and nitrogen adsorption. Prepared powders were submerged in DIMP and heated in a thermal analyzer, tracking the mass changes as a function of temperature. Surfaces of the recovered materials were studied using …

Gamified Gait Rehabilitation Via Real-Time Biofeedback And Adaptive Hip-Exoskeleton Control, Mariya Huzaifa Tohfafarosh

Theses

Gait impairments arise from systemic diseases, age-related degeneration, musculoskeletal dysfunctions, or neurological conditions. While traditional rehabilitation can be effective, they often face challenges such as high costs, inaccessibility, and low patient engagement. To address these challenges, my work introduces a virtual reality-based rehabilitation (VRBR) system, integrating real-time motion and electromyographic (EMG) muscle activation feedback with a gamified virtual environment for enhanced adaptability and engagement. The system includes a custom-designed hip-exoskeleton that provides adaptive spring-like assistance or resistance, supporting both mobility-impaired users and strength training. Assistance levels can be tuned to match the user's progress. Additionally, a custom pressure insole was …
