Stochastic Analog Computation for Machine Learning

Author(s): Fang, Yuan Sheng | Advisor(s): DeWeese, Michael R | Abstract: Analog computers model logical and mathematical operations by exploiting the physical properties of continuously evolving systems. Variables are often directly represented by easily measurable quantities such as voltage, current, etc. By contrast, in typical digital computers, the representation is much more abstract and manipulated in discrete time. Despite certain advantages of analog computers, such as their power efficiency and speed, they were eventually made obsolete by the better scalability of their digital counterparts. However, with the recent advances in machine learning, specialized applications of analog computation, such as optical neural networks, are becoming more viable. Presented here is a collection of topics relevant to analog computing for machine learning. Rather than a set of algorithmic procedures, machine learning models can be treated as physical systems and studied accordingly. Specifically discussed are parameter estimation of the Ising spin glass, deep learning with photonic networks, and fully analog implementation of latent variable models.For the most part, experimental physics is interested in the observation and measurement of a system under various conditions. On the other hand, much of machine learning is concerned with inferring the underlying properties of a system from known observations. This type of inference is often referred to as the inverse problem by physicists. In Chapter 1, one such concretely formalized task, parameter estimation, is used to study the Ising model and Hopfield network.The next chapter explores certain practical problems associated with implementing neural networks with photonic components -- optical neural networks (ONN). The analog noise and imprecisions are present in all analog computers and impact their performance. Accordingly, the proper characterization of ONNs require quantifying the effects of fabrication errors and other noise on their operation. The trade-off between expressivity and robustness is explored through comparison of two ONN architectures.Rather than minimizing the effects of noise in analog systems, in the last chapter, it is demonstrated that they can be leveraged for more efficient computation. Manipulation and analysis of probabilistic models often require the generation of continuous random variables. Instead of using a deterministic, digital computer for this task, we demonstrate that this can be much more efficiently done with an analog computer with inherent variability.A more, in depth, summary of these topics is presented in the introduction. While each chapter is self-contained, the common theme is a departure from discrete, deterministic approaches to computation and a step toward continuous and stochastic dynamics. Taken as a whole, the thesis acts as reference for further study in analog computation.

ORDERING THE MOST RELEVANT SKILLS IN AN ENGINEERING DEGREE USING FUZZY LOGIC. A CASE STUDY

Nowadays, the increasing uncertainty of a globalized world economy poses additional challenges to the new agricultural engineering graduates. They have to face increasingly complex challenges, such as increasing demand for agricultural produce in a Climate Change situation, a growing difficulty to guarantee food safety caused by global trade, and an improvement of the resilience of productive systems based on precision agriculture. All of this along with the drawback of a reduced interest of new students in this kind of graduate study. Previous works have dealt with the importance of the general skills in an agricultural engineering degree, showing the relevance of the instrumental skills (capacity for analysis and synthesis, organization and planning capacity, ability to manage information, oral and written communication, foreign language knowledge, computer knowledge, problem resolution, and decision making). This work aims to order these instrumental skills to face the above-mentioned challenges in a more effective way. We are aware that the result of this order presents high doses of uncertainty and ambiguity, and that is why we propose the use of fuzzy logic. The application of this methodology based on fuzzy mathematics can contribute to updating the university degrees so that graduates can successfully the new challenges they will encounter in the workplace. Results show that capacity for analysis and synthesis, organization and planning capacity, and foreign language knowledge is the best-considered skills
한국어 수분류사구의 통사구조, 복수성 및 조응해석

This paper offers a syntactic analysis of the distribution of plural marking for and anaphoric interpretations of Korean post-nominal numeral classifier (post-NC) phrases in a narrative sequence. In particular, this paper has two specific goals. First, we aim to identify the syntactic structure of Korean post-NC phrases and to provide a derivational account of how the restrictions on plural marking due to the [±humanity] feature of the associate NP are affected by pre-nominal modifiers. Second, we argue, based on its anaphoric interpretations in the context of narrative sequence, that a null argument taking a post-NC phrase as its antecedent is a substituted NP.
An Implementation of a Robust Visual Object Tracking System

Robust visual tracking system with high level of accuracy against complex tracking scenarios containing many visual attributes has been a challenging research topic in computer vision field. Among different types of visual attributes, scale variation is considered as one of the most difficult problems. Existing tracking methods either fail to handle great change of target size, or employ exhaustive scale estimation with the cost of high computational load. This paper presents a method of accurately adapting the change in target scale which employs dense spatio-temporal context for localizing target position, with the intention to increase tracking performance while maintaining low computational cost. In particular, the tracking task for determining target position is computed by utilizing the spatio-temporal context relationship between the target and its surrounding regions. Then the spatial correlation is analyzed to update target position in subsequent frames. In the meantime, the model also estimates the change of target by applying a scale filter, which learns the change in appearance of a set of various value of scales. Finally, the proposed method is evaluated by using the image sequences in TB100 dataset with different performance evaluation tests.

Youth Career Guidance Management

The article explains the necessity of managing the process of the youth career guidance. The problem under study is as follows: nowadays the system of vocational education causes employment disproportions, part of which can be eliminated with the help of a proper career guidance based on an expert diagnostics of a personality. Career guidance should take into consideration two main factors – a vocational aptitude of a personality and job openings available in the labour market. To solve this problem and eliminate the contradiction between society demands for personnel and career plans of young people the authors propose the project of a social partnership, in the course of which a method of group advice seminars for school leavers will be tested. Group advice seminars are supposed to be conducted considering job availability in the regional labour market, the findings of the social survey of the youth’s career plans and are aimed at diagnosing of a personality and providing recommendations on career guidance. To avoid the situation when young people are focused on a profession which will be in a low demand, typological career guidance and support should be provided. Social survey findings have shown that many young people being unaware of their sociological type choose the wrong career path. Thus, an expert socio-diagnostics could diminish social tension if it were used to find out people’s vocational aptitudes.

영어과 PCK 연구동향 분석

This study analyzes the research trends of PCK (Pedagogical Content Knowledge) in Korean English classes from 2005 to 2019 across ten journal articles, two master’s theses, two doctoral dissertations, and five research reports. This was intended to provide hints for the future direction of English PCK studies. Six criteria—subject-matter knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, learner knowledge, curriculum knowledge, social context knowledge, and action research knowledge— have been applied to the analysis of the selected English PCK studies. The findings are as follows. Study on the subject-matter knowledge was the most frequent, appearing in 15 studies, mainly dealing with linguistic knowledge. In the field of pedagogical knowledge, studies on class design were most common, and in the field of learner knowledge, learner background and learner characteristics were equally studied. In the social context knowledge field, there were relatively few studies on parents, and in the field of action research knowledge, the number of studies corresponding to three sub-factors was the same. Our study concludes that to systematize the study of PCK for teacher professionalism in the subject matter of English, English PCK education should be done in both pre-service and in-service institutions and that PCK research environments should be provided to this end.

Measurement of air and ground vibrations produced by explosions situated on the Earth's surface

SYNOPSIS Most equations used to predict the ground motion produced by explosions were developed using confined blasts that were detonated for breaking rock in mining or tunnelling. Ground motion is usually recorded by geophones or seismometers. The air blast produced by open-pit blasts and explosions on the surface can pose a significant risk, thus microphones and pressure gauges are often also used to monitor the effects of the explosion. The aim of this study is to determine whether the predictive equations developed for confined explosions can be used to predict the effects from explosions on the surface, with appropriate adjustments to the various coefficients. Three predictive equations developed for buried explosions were tested. The study shows that the US Bureau of Mines peak particle velocity (PPV) predictive equation is the most reliable. In addition, a predictive equation that uses the secondary atmospheric shock wave phenomenon also produced good results, and uses the scaled delay time parameter, which is easier to measure. These equations may be utilized for demolition sites, where old and potentially unstable explosives and obsolete equipment are destroyed on the surface, and for assisting in forensic seismology to determine the details of an unexpected and unknown explosion. Keywords: surface explosions, prediction, demolition, PPV, secondary shock wave.
