This work proposes a transfer learning-based encoder-decoder framework to predict the relationship between loading conditions and residual stiffness in carbon fiber reinforced composites and adhesives. The encoder, built from a Convolutional Neural Network ...
Deep neural networks provide magnificent results for vision tasks. However, their complex structures and numerous parameters make them computationally and memory-wise intensive. Execution of these models on resource-constrained, camera-equipped devices suc ...
Recent advancements in deep learning have revolutionized 3D computer vision, enabling the extraction of intricate 3D information from 2D images and video sequences. This thesis explores the application of deep learning in three crucial challenges of 3D com ...
In this work, we present for the first time a method for detecting label errors in image datasets with semantic segmentation, i.e., pixel-wise class labels. Annotation acquisition for semantic segmentation datasets is time-consuming and requires plenty of ...
The monumental progress in the development of machine learning models has led to a plethora of applications with transformative effects in engineering and science. This has also turned the attention of the research community towards the pursuit of construc ...
The Laser Power Bed Fusion (LPBF) process is of high interest to many industries, such as motors and vehicles, robotics, biomedical applications, aerospace, and others. LPBF workpieces can indeed achieve near full density and high resistance. However, a la ...
State-of-the-art methods for self-supervised sequential action alignment rely on deep networks that find correspon- dences across videos in time. They either learn frame-to- frame mapping across sequences, which does not leverage temporal information, or a ...
Neural functions operate in tightly controlled conditions that are mediated by multiple electrical and chemical phenomena. Brain disorders such as Parkinson's Disease and Alzheimer's Disease perturb these conditions and cause a loss of neurons, which impai ...
We propose an information theoretic framework for quantitative assessment of acoustic models used in hidden Markov model (HMM) based automatic speech recognition (ASR). The HMM backend expects that (i) the acoustic model yields accurate state conditional e ...
The way in which cortical microcircuit components -- most importantly neurons -- and their connectivity -- the network -- shape and constrain emergent dynamics is a long-standing question in neuroscience. Experimentally observed dynamical properties can of ...
Second-order pooling, a.k.a. bilinear pooling, has proven effective for deep learning based visual recognition. However, the resulting second-order networks yield a final representation that is orders of magnitude larger than that of standard, first-order ...
The in vitro recapitulation of tissue and organ function represents one of the main objectives
of tissue engineering. Developments in this field have numerous applications, from alleviating
the shortage of donor organs to providingmore representative pla ...
This work follows from a research project, in which we investigate the underlying mechanisms of human imitation and develop a neural model of its core neural circuits. The present paper presents a model of a neural mechanism by which an imitator agent can ...
