Reduced semiconductor energy conversion systems. by Zhang, Lei.

“…The investigation planned for the thesis is thus to revisit the nine-switch modulation principles and its existing ac-ac converter applications with an intermediate de-link, The intention is to identify areas where modulation can be improved and quantify limitations faced by the nine-switch topology. …”

Speech enhancement using auditory-based spectral amplitude estimators by Sekar Sathiya Narayanan.

“…The original speech signal is subjected to three types of noises, namely, white noise, pink noise and cockpit noise. The proposed estimator is applied to the noisy speech signal to obtain the enhanced speech signal and the objective measures of speech quality such as the segmental SNR (SNRseg) and the log-likelihood-ratio (LLR) are obtained. …”

into neVeRland by Tan, Yuki

“…It involves using a headset to extend and bridge the physical world, portrayed using AR (Augmented Reality), with the digital world, portrayed using VR (Virtual Reality). Portals are the main element that bridges these two realities, allowing for a seamless transition and transporting the player to worlds of fairy tales and fantasy.…”

贈り物 : gift by Pang, Desmond Hee Wee

“…The skills and knowledge that I have learnt from my major have led me to be more experimental and fine art in my approach towards my works. Therefore I feel that a hands-on, ‘back to basics approach’ is the best way to express this project. …”

Partnership Ties Shape Friendship Networks: A Dynamic Social Network Study by Stadtfeld, Christoph, Pentland, Alex

“…We find that partnership ties strongly shape the dynamic process of friendship formation. They are a main driver of local network clustering and explain a striking amount of homophily.…”

Constructing adversarial samples against deep learning-based sensing system (part II) by Lin, Beiyi

“…While previous work in defending again these malicious attacks has investigated using gradient masking to hide information of the model and audio pre-processing to reduce or distort adversarial noise, this project explores the idea of simple pink noise injection at different loudness to detect adversarial examples. …”

Neuroimaging meta regression for coordinate based meta analysis data with a spatial model by Yu, Y, Pintos Lobo, R, Riedel, MC, Bottenhorn, K, Laird, AR, Nichols, T

“…In this article, we propose a generative coordinate-based meta-regression (CBMR) framework to approximate a smooth activation intensity function and investigate the effect of study-level covariates (e.g. year of publication, sample size). We employ a spline parameterization to model the spatial structure of brain activation and consider four stochastic models for modeling the random variation in foci. …”

Optimization and scheduling of applications in a heterogeneous CPU-GPU environment by Karan Rajendra Shetti

“…However, programming the GPUs is not a trivial task and depends on the experience and knowledge of the individual programmer. The main problem is identifying which task or job should be allocated to a particular device. …”

Soil liquefaction assessment using soft computing approaches based on capacity energy concept by Chen, Zhixiong, Li, Hongrui, Goh, Anthony Teck Chee, Wu, Chongzhi, Zhang, Wengang

“…Several liquefaction evaluation procedures and approaches have been developed relating the capacity energy to the initial soil parameters, such as the relative density, initial effective confining pressure, fine contents, and soil textural properties. In this study, based on the capacity energy database by Baziar et al. (2011), analyses have been carried out on a total of 405 previously published tests using soft computing approaches, including Ridge, Lasso & LassoCV, Random Forest, eXtreme Gradient Boost (XGBoost), and Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS) approaches, to assess the capacity energy required to trigger liquefaction in sand and silty sands. …”
