Using Novelty Seeking Reward Evolution Strategies to Train Generative Adversarial Networks
(2018-12-14)
Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are a subclass of deep generative models that aim to implicitly learn to model a data distribution. While GANs have gained wide research attention, and achieved much success, when ...
Addressing Outdoor Throughput Sensitivity for Mobile Vehicles by Enhancing the VMESH MAC Protocol
(2019-05)
To provide safe and efficient transportation, Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs) allow for the communication between a vehicle to another vehicle and for the communication between vehicles and stations near the road. As ...
A Kinetic Distance-to-Mean Based Routing Algorithm for Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks
(2017-12)
Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) allows vehicles to send information to each other or to roadside equipment in an instant and a wireless manner. It represents a considerable step forward in terms of transportation. Indeed, ...
Real-Time Gesture Recognition with Mini Drones
(2018-12-14)
Drones are being used worldwide to perform many functions - medical deliveries, video recording, and surveying to name a few. Their growing presence is paralleled by the growing world of Machine Learning (ML). This thesis ...
"You don't have to be a white male who was learning how to program since he was five:" Computer Use and Interest from Childhood to a Computing Degree
(2018-12-14)
For over three decades, researchers have been trying to understand why so few women enter STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) fields, and in particular the field of computing. Some answers to this ...
Relevance and Privacy Improvements to the YaCy Decentralized Web Search Engine
(2018)
The YaCy decentralized web search engine carries significant potential advantages in censorship resistance over centralized search engines such as Google. However, YaCy currently suffers from deficiencies in relevance of ...
CIGARCoil: A New Algorithm for the Compression of DNA Sequencing Data
(2019-05-10)
DNA sequencing machines produce tens of thousands to hundreds of millions of reads. Each read
consists of letters from the alphabet X= {A, T, C, G, N} and varies in length between 30 to 120 characters
and beyond. The DNA ...
Nurturing as Safe Exploration Promotes the Evolution of Generalized Supervised Learning
(2017-08-01)
The ability to learn is often a desirable property of intelligent systems which can make them more adaptive. However, it is difficult to develop sophisticated learning algorithms that are effective. One approach to the ...
