    Fast tensor decomposition algorithms for big data analysis

    Large volumes of data are being generated at any given time, especially from transactional databases, multimedia content, social media, and applications of sensors in the Internet of Things. When the size of datasets is beyond the ability of typical database software tools to capture, store, manage, and analyze, we face the phenomenon of big data for which new and smarter data analytic tools are required. Classical tensor decomposition algorithms cannot handle the situation when the data are not only big but also streaming. To tackle this situation, in this Project we will develop fast adaptive tensor decomposition algorithms, with low or average complexity for third-order big and streaming data tensors. The enabling ingredient for the above development is the generalized minimum noise subspace method (GMNS), an excellent method for fast subspace tracking. To illustrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithms, we will apply them to analyzing long and multi-channel EEG data. In particular, we will design a multi-stage system for automatic detection epileptic spikes in multi-channel EEG data; such a system is useful for 24-hour monitoring of epilepsy patients.

    EEG signal processing from the computer vision perspective

    In this work, we study the processing of EEG signals in the image domain, i.e., visualizing the signal in the binary image and applying computer vision techniques for signal smoothing and classification. Some research questions are being investigated: 1. How well can we smooth the signal in the image domain? Here, we plot the interested […]

    In this work, the propagation of cracks on some materials, such as concrete, is analyzed, the best-fit model of which is employed for vision-based crack detection. Some research questions are being investigated: 1. What is the correlation between simulated crack propagation and real-world crack? Here, we measure the fitting errors between best-fit regression models of […]

    Machine learning based beacon placement optimization for indoor robots localization

    Indoor localization systems usually consist of transceiver with fixed positions, which are called beacons. These beacons act as landmarks for localizing objects that need to be positioned. One can easily see that the positions of beacons have a great impact on the performance of the localization system. The problem of beacon placement optimization is to […]
