(2018-01-01)This thesis is a study of polarization attraction (PA), an all-optical polarization regeneration technique. PA is one implementation of a nonlinear lossless polarizer (NLP) that has demonstrated success for pulse train and ... -
ABATe: Automatic Behavioral AbstractionTechnique to Detect Anomalies in SmartCyber-Physical Systems
(IEEE, 2020-10-28)Detecting anomalies and attacks in smart cyber-physical systems are of paramount importance owing to their growing prominence in controlling critical systems. However, this is a challenging task due to the heterogeneity ... -
Abstract Decision Making and Concept Formation for Adaptability and Generalization
(2019-01-01)Generalization remains a central challenge for machine learning algorithms, especially when embodied in artificially intelligent agents that learn and plan under uncertainty. By using reinforcement learning (RL) or ... -
Accelerating a climate physics model with OpenCL
(IEEE, 2011-07-19)Open Computing Language (OpenCL) is fast becoming the standard for heterogeneous parallel com- puting. It is designed to run on CPUs, GPUs, and other accelerator architectures. By implementing a real- world application, a ... -
Acceptance of a speech interface for biomedical data collection.
(1997)Speech interfaces have the potential to address the data entry bottleneck of many applications in the field of medical informatics. An experimental study evaluated the effect of perceptual structure on a multimodal speech ... -
Accurate and Efficient Modeling of the Transverse Mode Instability in High Energy Laser Amplifiers
We study the transverse mode instability (TMI) in the limit where a single higher-order mode (HOM) is present. We demonstrate that when the beat length between the fundamental mode and the HOM is small compared to the ... -
