Advances in transfer learning methods based on computational intelligence
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)Traditional machine learning and data mining have made tremendous progress in many knowledge-based areas, such as clustering, classification, and regression. However, the primary assumption in all of these areas is that ... -
Ballistocardiography : physically-based modeling to bridge physiology and technology
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)The ballistocardiogram (BCG) captures the motion of the center of mass (CoM) of the human body resulting from the blood motion within the circulatory system. The BCG signal reflects the status of the cardiovascular system ... -
Biophysical modeling to reverse engineer two mammalian neural circuits lower urinar Y tract and hippocampus
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)Computational neuroscience provides tools to abstract and generalize principles of neuronal function using mathematics and computers. This dissertation reports biophysical modeling approaches to facilitate reverse engineering ... -
Body-worn accelerometer-based health assessment algorithms for independent living older adults
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)The mainstream smart wearable products used for activity trackers have experienced significant growth recently. Among the older population, collecting long periods of activity data in a real-life setting is challenging ... -
Fast and robust deep neural networks design
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)In the past few years, we have witnessed a rapid development of deep neural networks in computer vision, from basic image classiffcation tasks to some more advanced applications e.g. object detection and semantic segmentation. ... -
Human behavior understanding and intention prediction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)Human motion, behaviors, and intention are governed by human perception, reasoning, common-sense rules, social conventions, and interactions with others and the surrounding environment. Humans can effectively predict ... -
Single molecule imaging of DNA on nanogap embedded plasmonic gratings with enhanced fluorescence and improved level of detection
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)One of the most commonly used detection tools in clinical diagnostics, life science research, chemical, and biological sensors is fluorescence. Because of its cost effective, sensitive, and specific nature fluorescence has ... -
