Network design for optimal performance under consensus dynamics
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2019-08)In this thesis we study the problem of optimizing consensus networks through network design. The performance of each network is determined by its topology. We consider how the performance of consensus networks can be ... -
Network graph based neural architecture search
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2022-05)Neural network exhibits a great potential in various applications. The manual design of neural architecture requires specialized expertise and huge amount of time. Neural architecture search enabling the automation of ... -
Network reconstruction using time-delayed spike-train cross-correlation with limited information and classification according to spectral properties
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2020-08)We begin by reconstructing the entire network using time-delayed spike-train correlation, and we determine the time required before an adequate reconstruction becomes possible and compare this to time spans employed by ... -
Network structures on human movements
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2012-12) -
Network synchronization in a noisy environment with time delays
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2012-12) -
Neural modeling of efficient coding in primate mt and mstd
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2021-12)I conducted two studies that explore the implications of the efficient coding hypothesis on neural mechanisms in primate MT and MSTd. The efficient coding hypothesis holds that neuronal populations, particularly those in ... -
Neural name tagging for low-resource languages
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2019-08)In the second part, as the traditional supervised machine learning models suffer from a huge performance decrease when trained on the noisy "silver-standard" annotations, we propose a new solution to incorporate many ... -
Neural network architectures for short text
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2017-12)This thesis presents a comparison of four commonly used neural network models for learning to classify and encode short text sequences. We first evaluate the performance of the models for a supervised classification task ... -
Neural semantic structural modeling for complex question answering tasks
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2022-05)Question answering (QA) is a task in which an automatic system is built to answer questions given a particular context in a certain format. Over the past few years, considerable progress has been made on QA systems with ... -
Neutral particle transport modeling with a reflective source in the plasma edge
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1992-12)A reflective source term is incorporated into the the Boltzmann neutral particle transport equation to account for boundary reflection. This reflective neutral model is integrated over a uniform axis and subsequently ... -
Neutral pion electroproduction in the delta resonance region
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2007-12) -
Neutronic modeling and analysis of the Transient Reactor Test Facility
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-12)The Transient Reactor Test Facility is a nuclear research reactor operated by the Idaho National Laboratory. It was used for the testing of nuclear reactor fuels and materials from 1959 until 1994. It has remained inactive ... -
New approaches for adjoint-based error estimation and mesh adaptation in stabilized finite element methods with an emphasis on solid mechanics applications
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-05)In this thesis, we present an approach to automate the process of adjoint-based error estimation and mesh adaptation to lower the barrier of entry for solid mechanics practitioners. This approach has been developed to be ... -
New approaches to efficient structural analysis of social and biological networks
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2017-12)Network science is a discipline within the larger area of computer science that studies complex networks using the methodologies of graph theory, statistical analysis, and data visualization. As more and more data are made ... -
