Applications of the Bayesian approach for experimentation and estimation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)A Bayesian framework for systematic data collection and parameter estimation is proposed to aid experimentalists in effectively generating and interpreting data. The four stages of the Bayesian framework are: system ... -
Applications of the Koopman Operator: Novel Methods and Formulations for Lifted Linear Models
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-06)The analysis and control of nonlinear dynamic systems is an active research field due to the ubiquity of nonlinear systems in the physical world. However, the handling of these systems is significantly more difficult than ... -
Applications of time series analysis to geophysical data
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1980) -
Applications of twitter emotion detection for stock market prediction
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Currently, most applications of sentiment analysis focus on detecting sentiment polarity, which is whether a piece of text can be classified as positive or negative. However, it can sometimes be important to be able to ... -
Applications of two-dimensional vidicon photometry--Venus.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1973) -
Applications of X-ray Instrumentation for Dark Matter Searches with Cosmic-ray Antiparticles
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-05)Approximately 85% of the mass in the Universe is composed of dark matter. Scientific consensus is that this dark matter is comprised of some unidentified fundamental particle, but despite compelling evidence of abundant ... -
Applications performance on reconfigurable computers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997) -
Applied change of mean detection techniques for HVAC fault detection and diagnosis and power monitoring
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995)A signal processing technique, the detection of abrupt changes in a time-series signal, is implemented with two different applications related to energy use in buildings. The first application is a signal pre-processor for ... -
Applied discrete event simulation for root cause analysis and evaluation of corrective process change Efficacy within vaccine manufacturing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)Digital Transformation of the Biopharmaceutical industry is enabling improved operations through smart manufacturing. One area of interest is the application of advanced data analytics techniques to supplement traditional ... -

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994) -
Applied fast maneuvering using a hybrid controller
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)Guidance and control of autonomous vehicles is a difficult and often calculation-intensive process. Current control approaches limit the functionality of autonomous vehicles. The approach applied in this thesis is to use ... -
Applied fractionalization : quantum phases and phase transitions of strongly interacting systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Strongly correlated systems present interesting challenges in condensed matter physics. On the one hand, the theoretical work in the last two decades suggests that strong interactions may lead to new phases and phase ... -
Applied high resolution digital control for universal precision systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)This thesis describes the design and characterization of a high-resolution analog interface for dSPACE digital control systems and a high-resolution, high-speed data acquisition and control system. These designs are intended ... -
Applied information technology (IT) for ship design, production and lifecycle support : a total systems approach
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999) -
An applied manufacturing system for highly-complex assembly factory
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)This thesis focuses on a manufacturing system at a semiconductor equipment manufacturing company (SEMC). The company faces highly variable demand for its products that require highly-complex assembly within the factory. ... -
Applied math in geophysical fluids : partially trapped wave problems and mining plumes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)The first portion of this work focuses on leaky modes in the atmospheric sciences. Leaky modes (related to quasi-modes, scattering resonances, and the singularity expansion method) are discrete, oscillatory and decaying ... -
Applied natural language processing inspired by fundamental mathematics and physics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)Stacking long short-term memory (LSTM) cells or gated recurrent units (GRUs) as part of a recurrent neural network (RNN) has become a standard approach to solving a number of tasks ranging from language modeling to text ... -
Applied optimal control for dynamically stable legged locomotion
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Online learning and controller adaptation will be an essential component for legged robots in the next few years as they begin to leave the laboratory setting and join our world. I present the first example of a learning ... -
Applied stochastic Eigen-analysis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The first part of the dissertation investigates the application of the theory of large random matrices to high-dimensional inference problems when the samples are drawn from a multivariate normal distribution. A longstanding ...
