2. 1. Fuzzy Control for an Unmanned Helicopter

   University dissertation from Institutionen för datavetenskap

   Author : Bourhane Kadmiry; Dimiter Driankov; [2002]
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Helicopter; Robust control; Fuzzy gain scheduling; Gradient descent method; TECHNOLOGY Information technology Computer science; TEKNIKVETENSKAP Informationsteknik Datavetenskap;

   Abstract : The overall objective of the Wallenberg Laboratory for Information Technology and Autonomous Systems (WITAS) at Linköping University is the development of an intelligent command and control system, containing vision sensors, which supports the operation of a unmanned air vehicle (UAV) in both semi- and full-autonomy modes. One of the UAV platforms of choice is the APID-MK3 unmanned helicopter, by Scandicraft Systems AB. READ MORE

4. 2. Group-Sparse Regression : With Applications in Spectral Analysis and Audio Signal Processing

   University dissertation from Mathematical Statistics, Centre for Mathematical Sciences, Lund University

   Author : Ted Kronvall; [2017-09-22]
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; sparse regression; group-sparsity; statistical modeling; regularization; hyperparameter-selection; spectral analysis; audio signal processing; classification; localization; multi-pitch estimation; chroma; convex optimization; ADMM; cyclic coordinate descent; proximal gradient;

   Abstract : This doctorate thesis focuses on sparse regression, a statistical modeling tool for selecting valuable predictors in underdetermined linear models. By imposing different constraints on the structure of the variable vector in the regression problem, one obtains estimates which have sparse supports, i.e. READ MORE

5. 3. Asynchronous Algorithms for Large-Scale Optimization Analysis and Implementation

   University dissertation from Stockholm : KTH Royal Institute of Technology

   Author : Arda Aytekin; KTH.; [2017]
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; convex optimization; optimization; asynchronous algorithms; algorithms; parallel algorithms; large-scale; big data; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Abstract : This thesis proposes and analyzes several first-order methods for convex optimization, designed for parallel implementation in shared and distributed memory architectures. The theoretical focus is on designing algorithms that can run asynchronously, allowing computing nodes to execute their tasks with stale information without jeopardizing convergence to the optimal solution.
