The concepts and structure of the EMD framework are described in this dissertation. The implementation and use of the EMD within a parallelizing compiler framework are also described. Finally, the effectiveness of this ...

This thesis reports the investigations into the task of phone-level pronunciation error detection, the performance of which is heavily affected by the imbalanced distribution of the classes in a manually annotated data set ...

Ever since step motors have become an established component in incremental motion control systems, there has been a need to accurately predict their static characteristics based on motor geometry and material properties. ...

The purpose of this research effort is to advance the capabilities of existing model-based spatially periodic magnetoquasistatic-field sensors in order to provide a solution for imaging the metallic properties of pipelines. ...

Individualized medicine tailors diagnoses and treatment options on an individual patient basis. This is a paradigm shift from choosing a treatment based on highest reported efficacy in clinical trials, which is often not ...

It is critical that state estimators used in the power grid output accurate results even in the presence of erroneous measurement data. Traditional bad data detection is designed to perform well against isolated random ...

Next-generation embedded devices are expected to pervasively extract information from the world around us. In particular, growing interest in mobile devices beyond the smart phone imply that the need for context awareness ...

Multi-modal sensing devices are becoming more and more prevalent in everyday life. Whether it be in the form of a smartphone, mobile computing device, remote sensor node, or a sensor-packed robot, they are used almost ...
