Epileptic seizure classification using scalp EEG data: A support tensor machine approach

Algorithms which can effectively detect epileptic seizures have the potential to improve current treatment methods for people who suffer from epilepsy. The current state-of-the-art methods use neural networks, which are able to learn directly from the electroencephalogram (EEG) data without feature extraction. However, neural networks have...

Efficient and Robust Topology Optimization of Compliant Mechanisms using Perturbed Geometrically Non-Linear Analysis: Paper Title: "Structural Topology Optimization using Bayesian-Enhanced Perturbed Non-Linear Analysis"

The recent success of - and demand for - compliant mechanisms has increased rapidly within the micro-electromechanical systems-, aircraft-, spacecraft-, surgical-, and precision-instrument industries. Yet, even greater success may be achieved by overcoming the computational cost and instability of the mechanisms' design methodology. This...

Uncertainty quantification for tensor network constrained kernel machines: A frequentist and Bayesian approach

This research aims at quantifying the uncertainty in the predictions of tensor network constrained kernel machines, focusing on the Canonical Polyadic Decomposition (CPD) constrained kernel machine. Constraining the parameters in the kernel machine optimization problem to be a CPD results in a linear computational complexity in the number of...

Using Tensor Decompositions To Obtain Biomarkers From Auditory Event-Related Potentials

Brain disorders in children pose significant challenges to their development, impacting cognition, speech, movement, and behavior. The uncertainty surrounding prognostic information at the time of diagnosis leaves families with numerous questions about the future. The Child Brain Lab at Erasmus MC Sophia Children's Hospital conducts IQ,...

Faster matrix multiplication: A study to finding bounds on the rank of matrix multiplication tensors

Matrix multiplication with the standard algorithm has an algebraic complexity of O(n^3) for n x n matrices, but in 1969 Strassen found another algorithm for multiplying 2 x 2 matrices with which he showed that matrix multiplication can be done with a complexity of O(n^2.81) by applying his algorithm recursively for large...

Tensor decomposition for Independent Component Analysis: Through implicit cumulant tensor manipulation

Blind Source Separation (BSS), the separation of latent source components from observed mixtures, is relevant to many fields of expertise such as neuro-imaging, economics and machine learning. Reliable estimates of the sources can be obtained through diagonalization of the cumulant tensor, i.e., a fourth-order symmetric multi-linear array...

Compression of the embedding layer in an LSTM model using tensor train decomposition for NLP

Natural Language Processing (NLP) deals with understanding and processing human text by any computer software. There are several network architectures in the fields of deep learning and artificial intelligence that are used for NLP. Deep learning techniques like recurrent neural networks and feed-forward neural networks are used to develop...

All-at-once optimization for kernel machines with canonical polyadic decompositions: Enabling large scale learning for kernel machines

This thesis studies the Canonical Polyadic Decomposition (CPD) constrained kernel machine for large scale learning, i.e. learning with a large number of samples. The kernel machine optimization problem is solved in the primal space, such that the complexity of the problem scales linearly in the number of samples as opposed to scaling cubically...

This thesis applies the Gauss-Newton optimizer to estimate the parameter values of the Volterra-PARAFAC model by minimizing a nonlinear least square cost (NLS) function given the input and output measurements of the MISO Volterra system.

Streaming Video Completion using a Tensor-Networked Kalman Filter

In streaming video completion one aims to fill in missing pixels in streaming video data. This is a problem that naturally arises in the context of surveillance videos. Since these are streaming videos, they must be completed online and in real-time. This makes the streaming video completion problem significantly more difficult than the related...

Tensor Network B-splines for high-dimensional function approximation

B-splines are basis functions for the spline function space and are extensively used in applications requiring function approximation. The generalization of B-splines to multiple dimensions is done through tensor products of their univariate basis functions. The number of basis functions and weights that define a multivariate B-spline surface,...
