The Computational Advantages of Intrinsic Plasticity in Neural Networks

Shaw, Nolan (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 ...
Learning Quantum States Without Entangled Measurements

Lowe, Angus (University of Waterloo, 2021-10-22)

How many samples of a quantum state are required to learn a complete description of it? As we will see in this thesis, the fine-grained answer depends on the measurements available to the learner, but in general it is at ...
Mutual Information Based Methods to Localize Image Registration

Wilkie, Kathleen Patricia (University of Waterloo, 2005)

Modern medicine has become reliant on medical imaging. Multiple modalities, e. g. magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), etc. , are used to provide as much information about the patient as ...
