Predictive vision
… root of intelligence. This thesis investigates Predictive Vision with the goal to develop robust methods that anticipate the next events that may happen in images or videos. Importantly, we develop methods for eciently scaling learning algorithms to learn an extensive set of rules that enable …

Predictive Perception in Autism
This thesis investigates how predictive perception, motor coordination, and neurotype differences influences social perception in autism. It explores how these mechanisms contribute to social difficulties faced by autistic people, through the lens of the double empathy problem and second-person …

Predictive software design measures
This research develops a set of predictive measures enabling software testers and designers to identify and target potential problem areas for additional and/or enhanced testing. Predictions are available as early in the design process as requirements allocation and as late as code walk-throughs. …

Active evaluation of predictive models
… machine learning studies algorithms that infer predictive models from data. Predictive models are applicable for many practical tasks such as spam filtering, face and handwritten digit recognition, and personalized product recommendation. In general, they are used to predict a target label for a …

Predictive decoding of neural data
In the last five decades the number of techniques available for non-invasive functional imaging has increased dramatically. Researchers today can choose from a variety of imaging modalities that include EEG, MEG, PET, SPECT, MRI, and fMRI. This doctoral dissertation offers a methodology for the …

Predictive Control of Diabetic Glycemia
Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease, where the blood glucose concentration of the patient is elevated. This is either because of missing insulin production due to failure of the β-cells in the pancreas (Type 1) or because of reduced sensitivity of the cells in the body to insulin (Type 2). The …

Predictive Modelling of Bone Ageing
Bone age assessment (BAA) is a task performed daily by paediatricians in hospitalsworldwide. The main reasons for BAA to be performed are: fi�rstly, diagnosis of growth disorders through monitoring skeletal development; secondly, prediction of final adult height; and fi�nally, verifi�cation of age …

Predictive control of electrical drives
In this work, the application of the Predictive Control Technique to the electrical drives has been considered and discussed, especially in comparison with the employment of the traditional control techniques. First of all, a predictive control algorithm for the Brushless DC drive is developed with …

Predictive and adaptive extremal control
The time-optimal predictive control strategy for second order relay or bang-bang control systems is investigated along with modifications of this strategy for third order systems. One basis of this strategy is the utilization of a model, a replica of the plant, run in a fast-time mode so as to …

Predictive comparators with adaptive control
A linear predictor and adaptive control loop are added to a conventional comparator to greatly reduce the delay. A linear predictor feeds an estimated future signal to the comparator to compensate for the comparator's internal delay. On a cycle-by-cycle basis, an adaptive controller adjusts the …

Predictive metrics for supply chains
… this thesis I provide a framework for developing predictive metrics for supply chains. The goal of these metrics is to provide a key set of indicators, aligned with the business strategy, that provide early warnings of problems or early signals of successful project completion. They allow …

Predictive modeling of combustion processes
… reaction mechanisms generated by RMG are purely predictive and elementary rate coefficient from any reliable source can be added to RMG database to improve the quality of its predictions. The goal of my thesis was two fold, first to extend the capabilities and database of RMG and to release it as …

Robust constrained model predictive control
(cont.) multiple Uninhabited Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) demonstrate that the new DMPC algorithm offers significant computational improvement compared to its centralized counterpart. The controllers developed in this thesis are demonstrated throughout in simulated examples related to vehicle control. …

Predictive equations for bolted connections
A FORTRAN computer program applying the ultimate strength/instantaneous center of rotation method was written to generate the eccentricity coefficients used for the study of this project. For single line bolted connections, the value of the eccentricity coefficient is determined by several …

Predictive reliabilities for electronic components
A reliability model to study the behavior of an electronic component subject to several failure mechanisms ls developed. The mechanisms considered for the analysis are of degradation type where the number of defects for a mechanism increases with time, eventually causing the failure of the …

Predictive model for plume opacity
In recent years, as control systems for boiler emissions have been upgraded, some utility sources have experienced increased plume opacity. Cases of plume opacity exceeding in-stack opacity are due to 1) the aerosol formed by condensation of primary sulfuric acid and water vapor onto polydisperse …

A predictive adaptive delta modulator
… is surveyed for telephone communication using a predictive adaptive delta modulator. This method is based on an estimation of the input waveform and an encoding of the signal into a digital sequence. The Kalman Filter does this estimation to filter out some of the noise, thus increasing the …
