Probabilistic modeling and Bayesian inference via triangular transport by Baptista, Ricardo Miguel

“…To this end, we introduce a consistent estimator for the Markov structure based on integrated Hessian information from the log-density. We then propose an iterative algorithm for learning sparse graphical models by exploiting a corresponding sparsity structure in triangular maps. …”

Computationally efficient methods for solving optimal power flow problems by exploiting supplementary information by Barzegar, Ali Reza

“…In this thesis, firstly, a meta-heuristic optimization approach, called fully informed water cycle algorithm (FIWCA), is proposed with the idea of exchanging global and local information among the individuals in the populations with the goal of achieving a reasonable solution within a smaller number of iterations and shorter time, and also avoiding trapping in any local optima. …”

Holistic management of mobile energy storage fleets for more resilient service restoration by Yao, Shuhan

“…The decision-making problem under uncertainties is formulated using Markov decision process (MDP) and solved iteratively by data-driven DRL algorithms. An MDP formulation for an integrated service restoration strategy is investigated to coordinate the scheduling of MESSs and resource dispatching of microgrids. …”

Studying functional connectome of the human brain by Gupta, Sukrit

“…In this thesis, we propose techniques to investigate the functional modules and hubs in the brain, decode task-related modulations, and encode diseased brain states. We propose a novel Iterative Consensus Spectral Clustering (ICSC) algorithm that detects brain functional modules while considering the inter-individual variability in brain functional architecture and complete functional connectivity information. …”

High level thermal-aware scheduling for multiprocessors by Jin, Cui

“…The leakage power calibration enables us to accurately predict the near future thermal map without needing to resort to a computationally expensive iterative approach. Based on this prediction, we develop several heuristic policies for dynamic TAS on a simulated many-core system. …”
