Show moreEpilepsy is a multifaceted neurological disorder characterized by superfluous and recurrent seizure activity. Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals are indispensable tools for epilepsy diagnosis that reflect real-time insights of brain activity. Recently, epilepsy researchers have increasingly utilized Deep Learning (DL) architectures for early and timely diagnosis. This research focuses on resolving the challenges, such as data diversity, scarcity, limited labels, and privacy, by proposing potential contributions for epilepsy detection, prediction, and forecasting tasks without impacting the accuracy of the outcome. The proposed design of diversity-enhanced data augmentation initially averts data scarcity and inter-patient variability constraints for multiclass epilepsy detection. The potential features are extracted using a graph theory-based approach by analyzing the inherently dynamic characteristics of augmented EEG data. It utilizes a novel temporal weight fluctuation method to recognize the drastic temporal fluctuations and data patterns realized in EEG signals. Designing the Siamese neural network-based few-shot learning strategy offers a robust framework for multiclass epilepsy detection.

Deep Learning architectures, arti cial neural networks characterized by having both a large breadth of neurons and a large depth of layers, bene ts from training on Big Data. The size and complexity of the model combined with the size of the training data makes the training procedure very computationally and temporally expensive. Accelerating the training procedure of Deep Learning using cluster computers faces many challenges ranging from distributed optimizers to the large communication overhead speci c to a system with o the shelf networking components. In this thesis, we present a novel synchronous data parallel distributed Deep Learning implementation on HPCC Systems, a cluster computer system. We discuss research that has been conducted on the distribution and parallelization of Deep Learning, as well as the concerns relating to cluster environments. Additionally, we provide case studies that evaluate and validate our implementation.

Show moreThe recent rise of artificial intelligence (AI) using deep learning networks allowed the development of automatic solutions for many tasks that, in the past, were seen as impossible to be performed by a machine. However, deep learning models are getting larger, need significant processing power to train, and powerful machines to use it. As deep learning applications become ubiquitous, another trend is taking place: the growing use of edge devices. This dissertation addresses selected technical issues associated with edge AI, proposes novel solutions to them, and demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed approaches. The technical contributions of this dissertation include: (i) architectural optimizations to deep neural networks, particularly the use of patterned stride in convolutional neural networks used for image classification; (ii) use of weight quantization to reduce model size without hurting its accuracy; (iii) systematic evaluation of the impact of image imperfections on skin lesion classifiers' performance in the context of teledermatology; and (iv) a new approach for code prediction using natural language processing techniques, targeted at edge devices.

Show moreThe field of computer vision has grown by leaps and bounds in the past decade. The rapid advances can be largely attributed to advances made in the field of Artificial Neural Networks and more specifically can be attributed to the rapid advancement of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Deep Learning. One area that is of great interest to the research community at large is the ability to detect the quality of images in the sense of technical parameters such as blurriness, encoding artifacts, saturation, and lighting, as well as for its’ aesthetic appeal. The purpose of such a mechanism could be detecting and discarding noisy, blurry, dark, or over exposed images, as well as detecting images that would be considered beautiful by a majority of viewers. In this dissertation, the detection of various quality and aesthetic aspects of an image using CNNs is explored. This research produced two datasets that are manually labeled for quality issues such as blur, poor lighting, and digital noise, and for their aesthetic qualities, and Convolutional Neural Networks were designed and trained using these datasets. Lastly, two case studies were performed to show the real-world impact of this research to traffic sign detection and medical image diagnosis.

Network Intrusion Detection System does anomaly and hybrid detection for detecting known and unknown attacks. My thesis discusses about the several network cyber attacks we face nowadays and I created several Deep learning models to detect accurately, I used NSL-KDD dataset which is a popular dataset, that contains several network attacks. After experimenting with different deep learning models I found some disparities in the training accuracy and validation accuracy, which is a clear indication of overfitting. To reduce the overfitting I introduced regularization and dropout in the models and experimented with different hyperparameters.

Show moreIn the past few years, the development of complex dynamical networks or systems has stimulated great interest in the study of the principles and mechanisms underlying the Internet of things (IoT). IoT is envisioned as an intelligent network infrastructure with a vast number of ubiquitous smart devices present in diverse application domains and have already improved many aspects of daily life. Many overtly futuristic IoT applications acquire data gathered via distributed sensors that can be uniquely identified, localized, and communicated with, i.e., the support of sensor networks. Soft-sensing models are in demand to support IoT applications to achieve the maximal exploitation of transforming the information of measurements into more useful knowledge, which plays essential roles in condition monitoring, quality prediction, smooth control, and many other essential aspects of complex dynamical systems. This in turn calls for innovative soft-sensing models that account for scalability, heterogeneity, adaptivity, and robustness to unpredictable uncertainties. The advent of big data, the advantages of ever-evolving deep learning (DL) techniques (where models use multiple layers to extract multi-levels of feature representations progressively), as well as ever-increasing processing power in hardware, has triggered a proliferation of research that applies DL to soft-sensing models. However, many critical questions need to be further investigated in the deep learning-based soft-sensing.

Show moreThe major objective of this dissertation was to create a framework which is used for medical image diagnosis. In this diagnosis, we brought classification and diagnosing of diseases through an Artificial Intelligence based framework, including COVID, Pneumonia, and Melanoma cancer through medical images. The algorithm ran on multiple datasets. A model was developed which detected the medical images through changing hyper-parameters. The aim of this work was to apply the new transfer learning framework DenseNet-201 for the diagnosis of the diseases and compare the results with the other deep learning models. The novelty in the proposed work was modifying the Dense Net 201 Algorithm, changing hyper parameters (source weights, Batch Size, Epochs, Architecture (number of neurons in hidden layer), learning rate and optimizer) to quantify the results. The novelty also included the training of the model by quantifying weights and in order to get more accuracy. During the data selection process, the data were cleaned, removing all the outliers. Data augmentation was used for the novel architecture to overcome overfitting and hence not producing false absurd results the computational performance was also observed. The proposed model results were also compared with the existing deep learning models and the algorithm was also tested on multiple datasets.

Show moreOnline advertising [100], as a multi-billion dollar business, provides a common marketing experience when people access online services using electronic devices, such as desktop computers, tablets, smartphones, and so on. Using the Internet as a means of advertising, different stakeholders take actions in the background to provide and deliver advertisements to users through numerous platforms, such as search engines, news sites, and social networks, where dedicated spots of areas are used to display advertisements (ads) along with search results, posts, or page content. Online advertising is mainly based on dynamically selecting ads through a real-time bidding (or auction) mechanism. Predicting user responses like clicking ads in e-commerce platforms and internet-based advertising systems, as the first measurable user response, is an essential step for many digital advertising and recommendation systems to capture the user’s propensity to follow up actions, such as purchasing a product or subscribing to a service. To maximize revenue and user satisfaction, online advertising platforms must predict the expected user behavior of each displayed advertisement and maximize the user’s expectations of clicking [28]. Based on this observed feedback, these systems are tailored to user preferences to decide the order in that ads or any promoted content should be served to them. This objective provides an incentive to develop new research by using ideas derived from different domains like machine learning and data mining combined with models for information retrieval and mathematical optimization. They introduce different machine learning and data mining methods that employ deep learning-based predictive models to learn the representation of input features with the aim of user response prediction. Feature representation learning is known as a fundamental task on how to input information is going to be represented in machine learning models. A good feature representation learning method that seeks to learn low-dimensional embedding vectors is a key factor for the success of many downstream analytics tasks, such as click-through prediction and conversion prediction in recommendation systems and online advertising platforms.

Show moreRecent successes of Deep Learning-powered AI are largely due to the trio of: algorithms, GPU computing, and big data. Data could take the shape of hospital records, satellite images, or the text in this paragraph. Deep Learning algorithms typically need massive collections of data before they can make reliable predictions. This limitation inspired investigation into a class of techniques referred to as Data Augmentation. Data Augmentation was originally developed as a set of label-preserving transformations used in order to simulate large datasets from small ones. For example, imagine developing a classifier that categorizes images as either a “cat” or a “dog”. After initial collection and labeling, there may only be 500 of these images, which are not enough data points to train a Deep Learning model. By transforming these images with Data Augmentations such as rotations and brightness modifications, more labeled images are available for model training and classification! In addition to applications for learning from limited labeled data, Data Augmentation can also be used for generalization testing. For example, we can augment the test set to set the visual style of images to “winter” and see how that impacts the performance of a stop sign detector. The dissertation begins with an overview of Deep Learning methods such as neural network architectures, gradient descent optimization, and generalization testing. Following an initial description of this technology, the dissertation explains overfitting. Overfitting is the crux of Deep Learning methods in which improvements to the training set do not lead to improvements on the testing set. To the rescue are Data Augmentation techniques, of which the Dissertation presents an overview of the augmentations used for both image and text data, as well as the promising potential of generative data augmentation with models such as ChatGPT. The dissertation then describes three major experimental works revolving around CIFAR-10 image classification, language modeling a novel dataset of Keras information, and patient survival classification from COVID-19 Electronic Health Records. The dissertation concludes with a reflection on the evolution of limitations of Deep Learning and directions for future work.

Show moreSkin cancer is a prevalent cancer that significantly contributes to global mortality rates. Early detection is crucial for a high survival rate. Dermatologists primarily rely on visual inspection to diagnose skin cancers, but this method is inaccurate. Deep learning algorithms can enhance the diagnostic accuracy of skin cancers. However, these algorithms require substantial labeled data for effective training. Acquiring annotated data for skin cancer classification is time-consuming, expensive, and necessitates expert annotation. Moreover, skin cancer datasets often suffer from imbalanced data distribution. Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) can be used to overcome the challenges of data scarcity and lack of labels by automatically generating skin cancer images. However, training and testing data from different distributions can introduce domain shift and bias, impacting the model’s performance. This dissertation addresses this issue by developing deep learning-based domain adaptation models. Additionally, this research emphasizes deploying deep learning models on hardware to enable real-time skin cancer detection, facilitating accurate diagnoses by dermatologists. Deploying conventional deep learning algorithms on hardware is not preferred due to the problem of high resource consumption. Therefore, this dissertation presents spiking neural network-based (SNN) models designed specifically for hardware implementation. SNNs are preferred for their power-efficient behavior and suitability for hardware deployment.

Show moreWith the recent large-scale adoption of Large Language Models in multidisciplinary research and commercial space, the need for large amounts of labeled data has become more crucial than ever to evaluate potential use cases for opportunities in applied intelligence. Most domain specific fields require a substantial shift that involves extremely large amounts of heterogeneous data to have meaningful impact on the pre-computed weights of most large language models. We explore extending the capabilities a state-of-the-art unsupervised pre-training method; Transformers and Sequential Denoising Auto-Encoder (TSDAE). In this study we show various opportunities for using OCR2Seq a multi-modal generative augmentation strategy to further enhance and measure the quality of noise samples used when using TSDAE as a pretraining task. This study is a first of its kind work that leverages converting both generalized and sparse domains of relational data into multi-modal sources. Our primary objective is measuring the quality of augmentation in relation to the current implementation of the sentence transformers library. Further work includes the effect on ranking, language understanding, and corrective quality.

Show moreThis dissertation explores one-class classification (OCC) in the context of big data and fraud detection, addressing challenges posed by imbalanced datasets. A detailed survey of OCC-related literature forms a core part of the study, categorizing works into outlier detection, novelty detection, and deep learning applications. This survey reveals a gap in the application of OCC to the inherent problems of big data, such as class rarity and noisy data. Building upon the foundational insights gained from the comprehensive literature review on OCC, the dissertation progresses to a detailed comparative analysis between OCC and binary classification methods. This comparison is pivotal in understanding their respective strengths and limitations across various applications, emphasizing their roles in addressing imbalanced datasets. The research then specifically evaluates binary and OCC using credit card fraud data. This practical application highlights the nuances and effectiveness of these classification methods in real-world scenarios, offering insights into their performance in detecting fraudulent activities. After the evaluation of binary and OCC using credit card fraud data, the dissertation extends this inquiry with a detailed investigation into the effectiveness of both methodologies in fraud detection. This extended analysis involves utilizing not only the Credit Card Fraud Detection Dataset but also the Medicare Part D dataset. The findings show the comparative performance and suitability of these classification methods in practical fraud detection scenarios. Finally, the dissertation examines the impact of training OCC algorithms on majority versus minority classes, using the two previously mentioned datasets in addition to Medicare Part B and Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics and Supplies (DMEPOS) datasets. This exploration offers critical insights into model training strategies and their implications, suggesting that training on the majority class can often lead to more robust classification results. In summary, this dissertation provides a deep understanding of OCC, effectively bridging theoretical concepts with novel applications in big data and fraud detection. It contributes to the field by offering a comprehensive analysis of OCC methodologies, their practical implications, and their effectiveness in addressing class imbalance in big data.

Show moreDeep learning strategies combined with wearable sensors have advanced the capabilities of monitoring systems in biomedical applications, offering precise and efficient solutions for diagnosing and managing diseases. However, applying these systems faces several challenges. One of the challenges is the diminishing performance when these systems encounter new data with more complex patterns than those seen before. Another challenge is the limited availability of labeled data, on which deep learning-based systems depend highly. Additionally, obtaining high-quality labeled data to train deep learning models is often expensive, requiring significant time and resources. Another significant challenge is ensuring the practicality, accessibility, and convenience of the monitoring systems. This dissertation proposes an innovative deep learning framework to overcome these challenges and improve system generalization performance in classification and regression tasks, specifically monitoring patients with neurological disorders like Parkinson’s.

By processing data in manageable chunks, this approach optimizes memory usage while retaining the spatial continuity essential for precise alignment across expansive datasets. Three models—DeepGMR, FMR, and PointNetLK—were evaluated within this framework, demonstrating the pipeline’s robustness in handling datasets with up to 49.73 million points. The models achieved average epoch times of 35 seconds for DeepGMR, 112 seconds for FMR, and 333 seconds for PointNetLK. Accuracy in alignment was also reliable, with rotation errors averaging 2.955, 1.966, and 1.918 degrees, and translation errors at 0.174, 0.191, and 0.175 meters, respectively. This scalable, high-performance pipeline offers a practical solution for spatial data processing, making it suitable for applications that require precise alignment in large, cross-source datasets, such as mapping, urban planning, and environmental analysis.

The standalone machine and deep learning models like Random Forest (RF), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) were used. Furthermore, two hybrid models were created by combining machine learning techniques: RF, XGBoost, AdaBoost, KNN, and SVM and these hybrid models were voting based hybrid classifier. Where one is for binary, and the other one is for multi-class classification. These models were tested using precision, recall, accuracy, and F1-score criteria and compared the performance of each model. This work thoroughly explains how hybrid, standalone ML and DL techniques could improve IDS (Intrusion Detection System) in terms of accuracy and scalability in IoT (Internet of Things).

Show moreDeep learning models have been successfully applied to a variety of machine learning tasks, including image identification, image segmentation, object detection, speaker recognition, natural language processing, bioinformatics and drug discovery, among other things. This dissertation introduces Multi-Model Deep Learning (MMDL), a new ensemble deep learning approach for signal classification and event forecasting. The ultimate goal of the MMDL method is to improve classification and forecasting performances of individual classifiers by fusing results of participating deep learning models. The performance of such an ensemble model, however, depends heavily on the following two design features. Firstly, the diversity of the participating (or base) deep learning models is crucial. If all base deep learning models produce similar classification results, then combining these results will not provide much improvement. Thus, diversity is considered to be a key design feature of any successful MMDL system. Secondly, the selection of a fusion function, namely, a suitable function to integrate the results of all the base models, is important. In short, building an effective MMDL system is a complex and challenging process which requires deep knowledge of the problem context and a well-defined prediction process. The proposed MMDL method utilizes a bank of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Stacked AutoEncoders (SAEs). To reduce the design complexity, a randomized generation process is applied to assign values to hyperparameters of base models. To speed up the training process, new feature extraction procedures which captures time-spatial characteristics of input signals are also explored. The effectiveness of the MMDL method is validated in this dissertation study with three real-world case studies. In the first case study, the MMDL model is applied to classify call types of groupers, an important fishery resource in the Caribbean that produces sounds associated with reproductive behaviors during yearly spawning aggregations. In the second case study, the MMDL model is applied to detect upcalls of North Atlantic Right Whales (NARWs), a type of endangered whales. NARWs use upcalls to communicate among themselves. In the third case study, the MMDL model is modified to predict seizure episodes. In all these cases, the proposed MMDL model outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods.

Show moreThe success of deep learning has renewed interest in applying neural networks and other machine learning techniques to most fields of data and signal processing, including communications. Advances in architecture and training lead us to consider new modem architectures that allow flexibility in design, continued learning in the field, and improved waveform coding. This dissertation examines neural network architectures and training methods suitable for demodulation in power-limited communication systems, such as those found in wireless sensor networks. Such networks will provide greater connection to the world around us and are expected to contain orders of magnitude more devices than cellular networks. A number of standard and proprietary protocols span this space, with modulations such as frequency-shift-keying (FSK), Gaussian FSK (GFSK), minimum shift keying (MSK), on-off-keying (OOK), and M-ary orthogonal modulation (M-orth). These modulations enable low-cost radio hardware with efficient nonlinear amplification in the transmitter and noncoherent demodulation in the receiver.

Show moreDeep Neural Networks have been widely applied in many different applications and achieve significant improvement over classical machine learning techniques. However, training a neural network usually requires large amount of data, which is not guaranteed in some applications such as medical image classification. To address this issue, people propose to implement meta learning and ensemble learning techniques to make deep learning trainers more powerful. This thesis focuses on using deep learning equipped with meta learning and ensemble learning to study specific problems. We first propose a new deep learning based method for suggestion mining. The major challenges of suggestion mining include cross domain issue and the issues caused by unstructured and highly imbalanced data structure. To overcome these challenges, we propose to apply Random Multi-model Deep Learning (RMDL) which combines three different deep learning architectures (DNNs, RNNs and CNNs) and automatically selects the optimal hyper parameter to improve the robustness and flexibility of the model. Our experimental results on the SemEval-2019 competition Task 9 data sets demonstrate that our proposed RMDL outperforms most of the existing suggestion mining methods.

Show moreFinancial time-series data are noisy, volatile, and nonlinear. The classic statistical linear models may not capture those underlying structures of the data. The rapid advancement in artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques, availability of large-scale data, and increased computational capabilities of a machine opens the door to developing sophisticated deep learning models to capture the nonlinearity and hidden information in the data. Creating a robust model by unlocking the power of a deep neural network and using real-time data is essential in this tech era. This study constructs a new computational framework to uncover the information in the financial time-series data and better inform the related parties. It carries out the comparative analysis of the performance of the deep learning models on stock price prediction with a well-balanced set of factors from fundamental data, macroeconomic data, and technical indicators responsible for stock price movement. We further build a novel computational framework through a merger of recurrent neural networks and random compression for the time-series analysis. The performance of the model is tested on a benchmark anomaly time-series dataset. This new computational framework in a compressed paradigm leads to improved computational efficiency and data privacy. Finally, this study develops a custom trading simulator and an agent-based hybrid model by combining gradient and gradient-free optimization methods. In particular, we explore the use of simulated annealing with stochastic gradient descent. The model trains a population of agents to predict appropriate trading behaviors such as buy, hold, or sell by optimizing the portfolio returns. Experimental results on S&P 500 index show that the proposed model outperforms the baseline models.
