Reorienting machine learning education towards tinkerers and ML-engaged citizens
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies are appearing in everyday contexts, from recommendation systems for shopping websites to self -riving cars. As researchers and engineers develop and apply ...
Technology and applications of 2D materials in micro- and macroscale electronics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Over the past 50 years, electronics has truly revolutionized our lives. Today, many everyday objects rely on electronic circuitry from gadgets such as wireless earbuds, smartphones and laptops to larger devices like household ...
An optofluidic platform for longitudinal circulating tumor cell studies in mouse models of cancer
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Metastasis is a complex, multi-step process that is responsible for over 90% of cancer-related deaths. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) that are shed from primary tumors represent the disseminating "seeds" that give rise to ...
Representation and transfer learning using information-theoretic approximations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Learning informative and transferable feature representations is a key aspect of machine learning systems. Mutual information and Kullback-Leibler divergence are principled and very popular metrics to measure feature ...
Theory of phasor-field imaging
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Phasor-field (P-field) imaging is a promising recent solution to the task of non-line-of-sight (NLoS) imaging, colloquially referred to as "seeing around corners". It consists of treating the oscillating envelope of ...
Topographic deep artificial neural network as a model of primate ventral visual stream
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Face processing in visual cortex has been widely studied and emphasized for its importance in primate survival and social communication. Monkey inferior temporal (IT) cortex contains neurons that respond preferentially to ...
Large-scale high-density terahertz radiator and receiver Arrays on silicon chips
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Electromagnetic (EM) waves in the terahertz (THz) frequency range (usually deαned as from 10⁻¹ THz to 10¹ THz) have important applications in gas sensing, non-invasive imaging, short-range ultra-high-data-rate wireline/wireless ...
Improving fairness in budget-constrained algorithmic decision-making
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
The last five years have seen a vast increase in academic and popular interest in "fair" machine learning. But while the community has made significant progress towards developing algorithmic interventions to mitigate ...
Building efficient algorithms by learning to compress
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
The amount of data in the world is doubling every two years. Such abundant data offers immense opportunities, but also imposes immense computation, storage, and energy costs. This thesis introduces efficient algorithms for ...
Study Of electronic correlation and superconductivity in twisted graphene superlattices
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Two-dimensional materials, such as graphene, exhibit various unique electronic and optical properties that distinguish them from their bulk parent compounds. Besides being highly tunable by electrostatic gating, these 2D ...
