Probabilistic models for multi-view semi-supervised learning and coding
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)This thesis investigates the problem of classification from multiple noisy sensors or modalities. Examples include speech and gesture interfaces and multi-camera distributed sensor networks. Reliable recognition in such ... -
Probabilistic motion planning and optimization incorporating chance constraints
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)For high-dimensional robots, motion planning is still a challenging problem, especially for manipulators mounted to underwater vehicles or human support robots where uncertainties and risks of plan failure can have severe ... -
Probabilistic network models for cardiovascular monitoring
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)While treating patients during their hospital stay, physicians must frequently take into consideration massive amounts of clinical data. This data can come in many forms, such as continuous blood pressure tracings, ... -
Probabilistic Oil and Gas Production Forecasting using Machine Learning
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-09)This thesis improves oil- and gas-well profitability by quantifying the uncertainty of the production-forecasting process, using probabilistic machine learning (ML) techniques. A Bayesian Neural Network successfully modelled ... -
Probabilistic on-line transportation problems with carrying-capacity constraints
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)This thesis presents new insights and techniques for the analysis and design of autonomous or technology-assisted ("intelligent") transportation systems. The focus is on cooperative, on-line planning and control, of a fleet ... -
Probabilistic optimization of vibrational systems under stochastic excitation containing extreme forcing events
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)For the past few decades there has been an increased interest for efficient quantification schemes of the response statistics of vibrational systems operating in stochastic settings with the aim of providing optimal ... -
Probabilistic performance-based geometric tolerancing of compressor blades
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The relationship between tolerances of statically measured geometric parameters and the aerodynamic performance of a sample of manufactured airfoils is investigated in this thesis. The objective is to determine which ... -
Probabilistic procrustean models for shape recognition with an application to robotic grasping
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Robot manipulators largely rely on complete knowledge of object geometry in order to plan their motion and compute successful grasps. If an object is fully in view, the object geometry can be inferred from sensor data and ... -
Probabilistic pursuit, classification, and speech
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997) -
Probabilistic regional ocean predictions : stochastic fields and optimal planning
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)The coastal ocean is a prime example of multiscale nonlinear fluid dynamics. Ocean fields in such regions are complex, with multiple spatial and temporal scales and nonstationary heterogeneous statistics. Due to the limited ... -
Probabilistic representation and manipulation of Boolean functions using free Boolean diagrams
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994) -
Probabilistic risk analysis of restructured electric power systems : implications for reliability analysis and policies
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)Modem society requires reliable and safe operation of its infrastructure. Policymakers believe that, in many industries, competitive markets and regulatory incentives will result in system performance superior to that under ... -

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995) -
Probabilistic state estimation in regimes of nonlinear error growth
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)State estimation, or data assimilation as it is often called, is a key component of numerical weather prediction (NWP). Nearly all implementable methods of state estimation suitable for NWP are forced to assume that errors ... -
Probabilistic transient analysis of fuel choices for sodium fast reactors
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)This thesis presents the implications of using a risk-informed licensing framework to inform the design of Sodium Fast Reactors. NUREG-1860, more commonly known as the Technology Neutral Framework (TNF), is a risk-informed ... -
