PhD Proposal Review: Circular-Symmetric Correlation Layer based on FFT Bahare Azari Location: Zoom Link Abstract: Planar convolutional neural networks, widely known as CNNs, have been exceptionally successful in many computer vision and machine learning tasks, such as object detection, tracking, and classification. The convolutional layers in CNN are characterized by pattern-matching filters that can identify […]
Do you have a fully drafted journal article ready to share with other researchers that you want to share before the traditional peer review process is done? Preprinting is one way to disseminate your research almost immediately. Join the Northeastern COE Communication Lab for a workshop discussing the importance of preprints and open science. We […]
PhD Proposal Review: High Sensing-capacity Multi-dimensional-coded Millimeter-wave MIMO Imaging System Weite Zhang Location: Microsoft Teams Link Abstract: Millimeter-wave (mm-wave) MIMO imaging systems have been explored to use more and more complicated radar waveforms to achieve advanced multiplexing and high-performance imaging. As the complexity of the radar waveform increases, conventional systems inevitably suffer from higher design […]
