Fault Detection and Diagnosis with Imbalanced and Noisy Data: A Hybrid Framework for Rotating Machinery

Amin Kaboli

Fault diagnosis plays an essential role in reducing the maintenance costs of rotating machinery manufacturing systems. In many real applications of fault detection and diagnosis, data tend to be imbalanced, meaning that the number of samples for some fault ...

Gradient-based Methods for Deep Model Interpretability

Suraj Srinivas

In this dissertation, we propose gradient-based methods for characterizing model behaviour for the purposes of knowledge transfer and post-hoc model interpretation. Broadly, gradients capture the variation of some output feature of the model upon unit vari ...

Cognitive workload monitoring in virtual reality based rescue missions with drones

David Atienza Alonso, Adriana Arza Valdes, Fabio Isidoro Tiberio Dell'Agnola, Niloofar Momeni

The use of drones in search and rescue (SAR) missions can be very cognitively demanding. Since high levels of cognitive workload can negatively affect human performance, there is a risk of compromising the mission and leading to failure with catastrophic o ...

ASTErIsM: application of topometric clustering algorithms in automatic galaxy detection and classification

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Frédéric Courbin, Danuta Janina Paraficz

We present a study on galaxy detection and shape classification using topometric clustering algorithms. We first use the DBSCAN algorithm to extract, from CCD frames, groups of adjacent pixels with significant fluxes and we then apply the DENCLUE algorithm ...

Adaptive Sampling for Large Scale Boosting

François Fleuret, Charles Dubout

Classical Boosting algorithms, such as AdaBoost, build a strong classifier without concern for the computational cost. Some applications, in particular in computer vision, may involve millions of training examples and very large feature spaces. In such con ...

Multivariate Boosting with Look-Up Tables for Face Processing

Cosmin Atanasoaei

This thesis proposes a novel unified boosting framework. We apply this framework to the several face processing tasks, face detection, facial feature localisation, and pose classification, and use the same boosting algorithm and the same pool of features ( ...
