Artificial Neural Networks for Microwave Detection
(University of Waterloo, 2012-05-23)Microwave detection techniques based on the theory of perturbation of cavity resonators are commonly used to measure the permittivity and permeability of objects of dielectric and ferrite materials at microwave frequencies. ... -
The Computational Advantages of Intrinsic Plasticity in Neural Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2019-10-17)In this work, I study the relationship between a local, intrinsic update mechanism and a synaptic, error-based learning mechanism in ANNs. I present a local intrinsic rule that I developed, dubbed IP, that was inspired by ... -
Machine Learning Approaches in Crystal Plasticity
(University of Waterloo, 2022-04-27)The continued advancements in material development and design require understanding the relationships between microstructure and flow behaviour. Crystal plasticity (CP) is a high-fidelity computational method that helps ... -
Mathematical and Statistical Investigation of Steamflooding in Naturally Fractured Carbonate Heavy Oil Reservoirs
(University of Waterloo, 2013-04-23)A significant amount of Viscous Oil (e.g., heavy oil, extra heavy oil, and bitumen) is trapped in Naturally Fractured Carbonate Reservoirs also known as NFCRs. The word VO endowment in NFCRs is estimated at ~ 2 Trillion ... -
Reinforcement Learning for Parameter Control of Image-Based Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2004)The significant amount of data contained in digital images present barriers to methods of learning from the information they hold. Noise and the subjectivity of image evaluation further complicate such automated processes. ... -
Utilization of Predictive Analytics & Constrained Metaheuristics to Achieve Optimal Operation of a Liquid-fueled Industrial Process Heater
(University of Waterloo, 2015-05-11)The operation of industrial combustion devices to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions, is necessary in many respects. Increasingly stringent environmental regulations and the present volatility of the price of ...
