  2. 1. Data driven modeling in the presence of time series structure: : Improved bounds and effective algorithms

    Author : Othmane Mazhar; Boualem Djehiche; Munther Dahleh; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Time series; Non-asymptotic estimation; Minimax; Change point detection; Hidden Markov model; State space model; Least square; Penalized Regression; Random covariance matrix; Concentration inequality; Chaining integral; Self-normalized martingale inequality; Cramér-Rao inequality; van Trees inequality; Matematisk statistik; Mathematical Statistics;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of five appended papers devoted to modeling tasks where the desired models are learned from data sets with an underlying time series structure. We develop a statistical methodology for providing efficient estimators and analyzing their non-asymptotic behavior. READ MORE

  4. 2. A Programming Language for Data Privacy with Accuracy Estimations

    Author : Elisabet Lobo Vesga; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Differential Privacy; Functional Programming; Databases; Haskell; Accuracy; Concentration Bounds;

    Abstract : Differential privacy offers a formal framework for reasoning about the privacy and accuracy of computations on private data. It also offers a rich set of building blocks for constructing private data analyses. READ MORE

  5. 3. Language-Based Differential Privacy with Accuracy Estimations and Sensitivity Analyses

    Author : Elisabet Lobo Vesga; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; haskell; accuracy; parametricity; Program reasoning; Functional Programming; concentration bounds; differential privacy;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on the development of programming frameworks to enforce, by construction, desirable properties of software systems. Particularly, we are interested in enforcing differential privacy -- a mathematical notion of data privacy -- while statically reasoning about the accuracy of computations, along with deriving the sensitivity of arbitrary functions to further strengthen the expressiveness of these systems.

  6. 4. Entropy and Speech

    Author : Mattias Nilsson; Bastian Kleijn; Sören Holdt Jensen; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; speech representation; energy concentration; entropy estimation; manifolds; Acoustics; Akustik;

    Abstract : In this thesis, we study the representation of speech signals and the estimation of information-theoretical measures from observations containing features of the speech signal. The main body of the thesis consists of four research papers. Paper A presents a compact representation of the speech signal that facilitates perfect reconstruction. READ MORE

  7. 5. Internal oxidation processing : New alloys and new simulation techniques

    Author : Henrik Larsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : Internal oxidation; nitriding; diffusion; simulation; random walk; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : Nitriding and oxidising treatments of alloys for toolingpurposes have been investigated both experimentally andtheoretically. Specimens prepared by a combination of differentprocessing steps are investigated by light-optical, scanningand transmission electron microscopy and hardness measurments. READ MORE
