Augmenting Quantum Mechanics with Artificial Intelligence
(University of Waterloo, 2018-12-04)The simulation of quantum matter with classical hardware plays a central role in the discovery and development of quantum many-body systems, with far-reaching implications in condensed matter physics and quantum technologies. ... -
Cancer Classification in Human Brain and Prostate Using Raman Spectroscopy and Machine Learning
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-27)Real-time assisted classification of cancerous and healthy human tissue is useful to surgeons since visual classification of cancer boundaries is almost impossible to the naked eye. Raman spectroscopy can be used to ... -
Neural Network Classifiers for Human Tissue Classification in NIR Biomedical Multispectral Imaging
(University of Waterloo, 2018-06-11)Near infrared imaging (NIR) is an imaging modality that has gained traction for solving biomedical problems in recent years. By leveraging the NIR spectrum, multiple spectra from the NIR range can be used to extract ... -
Neural Plausibility of Bayesian Inference
(University of Waterloo, 2018-07-31)Behavioral studies have shown that humans account for uncertainty in a way that is nearly optimal in the Bayesian sense. Probabilistic models based on Bayes' theorem have been widely used for understanding human cognition, ... -
Road Information Extraction from Mobile LiDAR Point Clouds using Deep Neural Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2020-08-17)Urban roads, as one of the essential transportation infrastructures, provide considerable motivations for rapid urban sprawl and bring notable economic and social benefits. Accurate and efficient extraction of road information ... -
A Spiking Neural Model of Episodic Memory Encoding and Replay in Hippocampus
(University of Waterloo, 2014-12-09)As we experience life, we are constantly creating new memories, and the hippocampus plays an important role in the formation and recall of these episodic memories. This thesis begins by describing the neural mechanisms ... -
Thermal Management in Laminated Die Systems Using Neural Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-08)The thermal control of a die is crucial for the development of high efficiency injection moulds. For successful thermal management, this research provides an effective control strategy to find sensor locations, identify ...
