Background: For patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy, surgical resection of the epileptogenic zone (EZ) is an effective treatment to control seizures. Accurate localization of the EZ is crucial and is typically achieved through comprehensive presurgical approaches such as seizure semiology interpretation, electroencephalography (EEG), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and intracranial EEG (iEEG). However, interpreting seizure semiology is challenging because it heavily relies on expert knowledge. The semiologies are often inconsistent and incoherent, leading to variability and potential limitations in presurgical evaluation. To overcome these challenges, advanced technologies like large language models (LLMs)—with ChatGPT being a notable example—offer valuable tools for …
Computational Modeling And Structural Generation Of Piano Music In The Classical Style, Yijing Feng
Computational Modeling And Structural Generation Of Piano Music In The Classical Style, Yijing Feng
Dartmouth College Ph.D Dissertations
Listening to fast-tempo piano sonatas of the Classical period (circa 1750-1820) has been shown to have therapeutic effects for neurological disorders such as epilepsy. The limited existing repertoire of music in this style motivates the creation of more long-form, coherent compositions with clearly defined structure. Despite the long history of computer-based music generation and recent progress in deep learning, particularly transformer-based models, generating structurally coherent long-form music remains a major challenge. This difficulty stems from the scarcity of reliable structural annotation datasets, the computational demands of modeling very long musical sequences, and the lack of effective structural encoding in both …

This research focuses on improving solar energy forecasting in dust-affected regions such as the UAE, where frequent dust storms reduce photovoltaic (PV) efficiency by scattering and absorbing sunlight. Many existing models overlook the impact of dust events, leading to inaccurate forecasts during such conditions. To address this, the study develops machine learning models—including LSTM, GRU, and hybrid LSTM-GRU architectures—that incorporate solar, weather, and dust-related features. The models were evaluated across multiple forecasti24 hoursons (1, 6, 12, and 24 hours), demonstrating that including dust-related variables significantly enhances prediction accuracy, particularly for short-term forecasts. Temporal and seasonal analyses revealed that dust events, …

Exploring Higher-Order Networks, Hao Tian
Dissertations - ALL
Networks are natural representations of interactions in the real world (social networks, bio-networks, road networks, and the like) and are utilized across various disciplines. By default, network interactions are pairwise; in recent years, the demand for model ing higher-order interactions has kept increasing. For example, in collaboration networks, we aim to distinguish between one publication coauthored by three or three publications coauthored by two in a triangle. In this work, we perform higher-order network analysis in the following two directions. First, we explore the influence of higher-order structures on dyadic (pairwise) graphs; second, we model higher-order interactions by ordered hy …

Identification Of Subtypes Of Post-Stroke And Neurotypical Gait Behaviors Using Neural Network Analysis Of Gait Cycle Kinematics, Andrian Kuch, Nicolas Schweighofer, James M. Finley, Alison Mckenzie, Yuxin Wen, Natalia Sánchez
Physical Therapy Faculty Articles and Research
Gait impairment post-stroke is highly heterogeneous. Prior studies classified heterogeneous gait patterns into subgroups using peak kinematics, kinetics, or spatiotemporal variables. A limitation of this approach is the need to select discrete features in the gait cycle. Using continuous gait cycle data, we accounted for differences in magnitude and timing of kinematics. Here, we propose a machine-learning pipeline combining supervised and unsupervised learning. We first trained a Convolutional Neural Network and a Temporal Convolutional Network to extract features that distinguish impaired from neurotypical gait. Then, we used unsupervised time-series k-means and Gaussian Mixture Models to identify gait clusters. We tested …

The results identified that seven siRNAs (siRNA 23, siRNA 24, siRNA …
Algorithmically Optimal Outer Measures, J. H. Lutz, Neil Lutz
Algorithmically Optimal Outer Measures, J. H. Lutz, Neil Lutz
Computer Science Faculty Works
We investigate the relationship between algorithmic fractal dimensions and the classical local fractal dimensions of outer measures in Euclidean spaces. We introduce global and local optimality conditions for lower semicomputable outer measures. We prove that globally optimal outer measures exist. Our main theorem states that the classical local fractal dimensions of any locally optimal outer measure coincide exactly with the algorithmic fractal dimensions. Our proof uses an especially convenient locally optimal outer measure κ defined in terms of Kolmogorov complexity. We discuss implications for point-to-set principles.
