An Artificial Intelligence Teaching Assistant for Microelectronic Circuits Problems
(University of Waterloo, 2021-05-14)For several decades, personal computers have been used as a tool to enhance training and education. Some of the early computer systems used in this field, referred to as Computer Based Training (CBT) and Computer Aided ... -
Cooperative Autonomous Vehicle Speed Optimization near Signalized Intersections
(University of Waterloo, 2018-12-12)Road congestion in urban environments, especially near signalized intersections, has been a major cause of significant fuel and time waste. Various solutions have been proposed to solve the problem of increasing idling ... -
Deep Learning Based Approaches for Imputation of Time Series Models
(University of Waterloo, 2020-12-16)Market price forecasting models for Fresh Produce (FP) are crucial to protect retailers and consumers from highly priced FP. However, utilizing the data for forecasting is obstructed by the occurrence of missing values. ... -
Exploring the Usage of U-Net-based Deep Learning Networks for Reduction of Brain PET Scan Time in Alzheimer's Disease Patients
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-30)In medical imaging, positron emission tomography (PET) is an imaging technique that uses radiotracers to tag and investigate biological processes. A high-quality PET scan requires a high dosage of such tracers and/or a ... -
Efficient Hardware Realization of Convolutional Neural Networks using Intra-Kernel Regular Pruning
(University of Waterloo, 2019-05-24)Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have proven their success in a wide range of applications. While CNNs boast remarkable performance, they require significant computational and memory resources for operation. As research ... -
Fault Tolerance of Stochastic Decoders for Error Correcting Codes
(University of Waterloo, 2017-05-17)Low-density Parity-check (LDPC) codes are very powerful linear error-correcting codes, first introduced by Gallager in 1963. They are now used in many communication standards due to their ability to achieve near Shannon-capacity ... -
Hardware Implementation of Fixed-Point Decoder for Low-Density Lattice Codes
(University of Waterloo, 2022-04-29)Low-density lattice codes (LDLCs) are a special class of lattice codes that can be decoded efficiently using iterative decoding and approach the capacity of the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. The construction ... -
Perceptual Quality Assessment of High Dynamic Range & Wide Colour Gamut Images and Video
(University of Waterloo, 2021-06-15)While many successful algorithms have been proposed in the field of Image Quality Assessment (IQA) and Video Quality Assessment (VQA) through the years, High Dynamic Range (HDR) Wide Colour Gamut (WCG) technology and content ... -
Software and FPGA-Based Hardware to Accelerate Machine Learning Classifiers
(University of Waterloo, 2022-06-20)This thesis improves the accuracy and run-time of two selected machine learning algorithms, the first in software and the second on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) device. We first implement triplet loss and triplet ...
