Design Justice Principles and Do-It-Yourself Assistive Technology: Case Study
(2022-03-03)In this project, we focus on the Principles of Design Justice, as developed by the Design Justice Network, a community committed to challenging structural inequalities of design. Our thesis research project is aligned with ... -
Music-STAR: a Style Translation system for Audio-based Rearrangement
(2022-03-03)Music style translation has recently gained attention among music processing studies. It aims to generate variations of existing music pieces by altering the style-variant characteristics of the original music piece, while ... -
Machine Learning Interference Modelling for Cloud-native Applications
(2022-03-03)Modern cloud-native applications use microservice architecture patterns, where fine granular software components are deployed in lightweight containers that run inside cloud virtual machines. To utilize resources more ... -
Neural-based Knowledge Transfer in Natural Language Processing
(2022-03-03)In Natural Language Processing (NLP), neural-based knowledge transfer, which is to transfer out-of-domain (OOD) knowledge to task-specific neural networks, has been applied to many NLP tasks. To further explore neural-based ... -
Fast Similarity Graph Construction via Data Sketching Techniques
(2022-03-03)Graphs are mathematical structures used to model objects and their pairwise relationships. Due to their simple but expressive abstract representation, they are commonly used to model various types of relations and processes ... -
Learning Sparse Graph Laplacian with K Eigenvector Prior via Iterative GLASSO and Projection
(2021-11-15)Learning a suitable graph is an important precursor to many graph signal processing (GSP) tasks, such as graph signal compression and denoising. Previous graph learning algorithms either make assumptions on graph connectivity ... -
Comparative Studies of Gesture-Based and Sensor-Based Input Methods for Mobile User Interfaces
(2021-11-15)Three user studies were conducted to compare gesture-based and sensor-based interaction methods. The first study compared the efficiency and speed of three scroll navigation methods for touch-screen mobile devices: Tap ... -
On Solovay's Theorem and a Proof of Arithmetical Completeness of a New Predicate Modal Logic
(2021-11-15)This thesis investigates a first-order extension of GL called ML3. We briefly discuss the latters properties and some of its toolbox: some metatheorems, the conservation theorem, and its semantic completeness (with respect ... -
Image Color Correction, Enhancement, and Editing
(2021-07-06)This thesis presents methods and approaches to image color correction, color enhancement, and color editing. To begin, we study the color correction problem from the standpoint of the camera's image signal processor (ISP). ... -
Ensuring Fairness Despite Differences in Environment
(2021-07-06)Several fairness definitions have been proposed in the machine learning literature to rectify the issue of demographic groups being treated differently. Given the substantial research in the field, this work aims to provide ... -
Thermoreflectance Measurements of Non-Diffusive Transport In Bulk And Nanoscale Materials
(2021-07-06)Following the trend in miniaturization of devices to the sub-micron scale, thermal management has become increasingly important to device operation. Thermal management becomes even more concerning in nanoscale electronic ... -
Novel Examination of Interpretable Surrogates and Adversarial Robustness in Machine Learning
(2021-07-06)The lack of transparent output behavior is a significant source of mistrust in many of the currently most successful machine learning tools. Concern arises particularly in situations where the data generation changes, for ... -
Multistage Multiscale Inference Network with Visibility Attention for Occluded Person Re-Identification
(2021-07-06)For occluded person re-identification this thesis presents the Multistage Multiscale Inference Network (MMI-Net) that leverages an inference framework based on multiscale representations with visibility guidance. MMI-Net ... -
Enriching Word Representation Learning for Affect Detection and Affect-Aware Recommendations
(2021-03-08)The role of detecting affects from text is to detect affective states such as mood, sentiment and emotions from textual data. The main affective tasks, including sentiment analysis, emotion classification and sarcasm ... -
