FJMP: Factorized Joint Multi-Agent Motion Prediction
(University of Waterloo, 2023-08-30)Multi-agent motion prediction is an important problem in an autonomous driving pipeline, and it involves forecasting the future behaviour of multiple agents in complex driving environments. Autonomous vehicles (AVs) should ... -
Flag fault-tolerant error correction for cyclic CSS codes
(University of Waterloo, 2018-06-20)Fault-tolerant quantum error correction (FTEC) protocol is one of the most important components for a fault-tolerant simulation of a quantum circuit. It helps prevent error accumulation during the process which may cause ... -
Flag Fault-Tolerant Error Correction with Qudits
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-20)In this thesis, I explore fault-tolerant quantum error correction using qudits. I show that a specific flag-fault-tolerant procedure for the five-qubit code may be extended to work on the five qudit code for any prime ... -
Flags and Error Weight Parities: A Development of Fault-tolerant Quantum Computation with Few Ancillas
(University of Waterloo, 2021-10-13)In quantum computation, errors in a quantum circuit arising from its interaction with the environment is one of the biggest obstacles to building large-scale quantum computers. One way to deal with such errors is using ... -
FlaKat: A Machine Learning-Based Categorization Framework for Flaky Tests
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-26)Flaky tests can pass or fail non-deterministically, without alterations to a software system. Such tests are frequently encountered by developers and hinder the credibility of test suites. Thus, flaky tests have caught the ... -
Flanker Interference in Younger and Older Adults: Does Training Influence Focusing of Attention?
(University of Waterloo, 2010-08-31)This study investigated the influence of training on interference in younger and older adults using the Eriksen flanker task. Does flanker interference differ with age and, as practice progresses, does the pattern of ... -
Flashpoint: A Low-latency Serverless Platform for Deep Learning Inference Serving
(University of Waterloo, 2023-08-24)Recent breakthroughs in Deep Learning (DL) have led to high demand for executing inferences in interactive services such as ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot. However, these interactive services require low-latency inferences, ... -
Flat City Response
(University of Waterloo, 2009-10-27)It has become widely recognized that the development of postwar suburbia in North America has had a detrimental effect on community identity, environmental sustainability, and social conscience. Suburban development is ... -
Flat Places and Dynamic Spaces
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-06)As found in modern art and architecture during the 1950’s and 1960’s, North Americans were conditioned through advertising and media to adopt modernism as a new and better way of life. Modernist styles such as Abstract ... -
FLECS: A Data-Driven Framework for Rapid Protocol Prototyping
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-11)Flecs is a framework for facilitating rapid implementation of communication protocols. Forwarding functionality of protocols can be modeled as a combination of packet processing components called abstract switching elements ... -
The Flesh Made Mind: Language and Embodiment in Late Middle English Literature
(University of Waterloo, 2020-02-14)My dissertation compares contemporary cognitive models of self, that posit an interconnection between body and mind, with Pre-Modern conceptions of an embodied self as represented in late fourteenth and early fifteenth ... -
Flexibility Provisions from Energy Hubs for Sustainable Energy Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-25)Power systems have some inherent level of flexibility built into the system, to meet the continuous mismatches between the supply and demand. Variability and uncertainty are not new to power systems as loads change over ... -
Flexibility Provisions from Energy Storage Systems and Loads in Smart Grid
(University of Waterloo, 2021-02-22)Electric power systems are experiencing a movement toward increasing the share of renewable energy sources (RESs), while having to cope with the retirement of conventional generating units to facilitate an eco-friendly ... -
Flexible 3-Dimensional Hybrid ZnO Nanowire/a-Si:H Thin-Film Solar Cells
(University of Waterloo, 2016-07-19)ZnO nanowires were conformally coated with hydrogenated amorphous Si (a-Si:H) p-i-n thin-film to form three-dimensional (3-D) radial-junction (RJ) nanowire solar cell arrays (NWSCs). These NWSCs are a promising architecture ... -
Flexible Bent-Cable Models for Mixture Longitudinal Data
(University of Waterloo, 2010-04-27)Data showing a trend that characterizes a change due to a shock to the system are a type of changepoint data, and may be referred to as shock-through data. As a result of the shock, this type of data may exhibit one of two ... -
Flexible Energy Storage Systems Based on Electrically Conductive Hydrogels
(Elsevier, 2019-01)To power wearable electronic devices, various flexible energy storage systems have been designed to work in consecutive bending, stretching and even twisting conditions. Supercapacitors and batteries have been considered ... -
