Total joint arthroplasty is a surgical intervention that involves the removal of arthritic or damaged components of a joint and their replacement with an artificial joint. The ultimate goal is to restore the joint’s ...

Machine learning models, specifically deep convolutional neural networks, have exceeded human-level performance in many research areas, such as object classification and voice recognition. However, they are not comparable ...

This thesis focuses on three significant challenges in multi-sensor data fusion for real-world uses: (1) Lack of multisensory datasets for mapping and positioning datasets in underground environments, (2) inefficient and ...

Automated detection of small objects such as vehicles in images of complex urban environments taken by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) is one of the most challenging tasks in computer vision and remote sensing communities, ...

Features related to gait are fundamental metrics of human motion [1]. Human gait has been shown to be a valuable and feasible clinical marker to determine the risk of physical and mental functional decline [2], [3]. ...

Neuro-critical care is a data-intensive environment that requires physicians to integrate information across multiple screens, sources, and software. Despite the advances in neuromonitoring techniques, interfaces that ...

Deep learning has dominated the landscape of computer vision for the past decade. Deep learning networks are the top performers on a slew of computer vision challenges (e.g., object detection or image segmentation) and on ...

In the last decade, photothermoelectric (PTE) detectors that combine photothermal and thermoelectric conversion have been demonstrated for infrared and terahertz tracking. They are advantageous in terms of facile fabrication, ...

Social interaction is one of humanity's defining features. Through it, we develop ideas, express emotions, and form relationships. In this thesis, we explore the topic of social cognition by building biologically-plausible ...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) refers to a group of conditions that primarily affect the gut and cause inflammation. In contrast, Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a chronic immune-mediated condition characterized by boils ...
