The additive manufacturing (AM) field is striving to identify anomalies in laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) using multi-sensor in-process monitoring paired with machine learning (ML). In-process monitoring can reveal the presence of anomalies but creating a ML classifier requires labeled data. The present work approaches this problem by printing hundreds of Inconel-718 coupons with different processing parameters to capture a wide range of process monitoring imagery with multiple sensor types. Afterwards, the process monitoring images are encoded into feature vectors and clustered to isolate groups in each sensor modality. Four texture representations were learned by training two convolutional neural network …

With the growing number of Unmanned Aircraft Systems, current network-centric architectures present limitations in meeting real-time and time-critical requirements. Current methods utilizing centralized off-platform processing have inherent energy inefficiencies, scalability challenges, performance concerns, and cyber vulnerabilities. In this dissertation, an adaptive, two-stage, energy-efficient, edge-centric architecture is proposed to address these limitations. A novel, edge-centric Sense-and-Avoidance architecture framework is presented, and a corresponding prototype is developed using commercial hardware to validate the proposed architecture. Instead of a network-centric approach, processing is distributed at the logical edge of the sensors, and organized as Detection and Classification Subsystems. Classical machine vision algorithms are …

We consider the problem of compressive synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging with the goal of reconstructing SAR imagery in the presence of under sampled phase history. While this problem is typically considered in compressive sensing (CS) literature, we consider a variety of deep learning approaches where a deep neural network (DNN) is trained to form SAR imagery from limited data. At the cost of computationally intensive offline training, on-line test-time DNN-SAR has demonstrated orders of magnitude faster reconstruction than standard CS algorithms. A limitation of the DNN approach is that any change to the operating conditions necessitates a costly retraining …

Bickel-Rosenblatt Test Based On Tilted Estimation For Autoregressive Models & Deep Merged Survival Analysis On Cancer Study Using Multiple Types Of Bioinformatic Data, Yan Su
Browse all Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation includes two topics, Bickel-Rosenblatt test based on tilted density estimation for autoregressive models and deep merged survival analysis on cancer study using multiple types of bioinformatic data. In the first topic study, we consider the goodness of fit test the error density of linear and nonlinear autoregressive models using tilted kernel density estimation based on residuals. Bickel-Rosenblatt test statistic is based on the integrated square error of non-parametric error density estimation and a smoothed version of the parametric fit of the density. It is shown that the new type of Bickel-Rosenblatt test statistics behaves asymptotically the same as …
