SUMMARY:ECE PhD Proposal Review: Md Navid Akbar
DESCRIPTION:PhD Proposal Review: Variational and Siamese Models in Functional and Structural Medical Image Analysis \nMd Navid Akbar \nLocation: Zoom Link \nAbstract: Machine learning (ML) models have recently shown great promise in medical image analysis. Instead of a one-size-fits-all\, a customized model is generally needed to map a target outcome from an imaging modality. To this end\, this proposal presents three such supervised models developed for three different imaging modalities.\nIn the first\, a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) maps 3D cortical motor representation\, obtained by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)\, to the corresponding motor evoked potentials captured by surface electromyography (EMG). This modeling is bi-directional: with trivial changes\, it can operate in both the forward and inverse directions. TMS as a functional imaging technique is still in its infancy\, but its potential application in presurgical planning necessitates a reliable data-driven model. Our variational autoencoder inspired CNN is a pioneering step in that direction: with a normalized root mean square error up to below 14%\, and an R-squared similarity up to above 87%\, for cortical representation reconstruction in the inverse path. As the next steps\, we plan to investigate other training strategies and collect additional data to assess robustness.\nIn the second\, a Siamese CNN (with a pretrained DenseNet121 backbone) is developed to predict the continuous spectrum of pulmonary edema severity\, from frontal chest X-rays. While existing deep learning frameworks have been promising in detecting the presence or absence of such edema\, or even its discrete grades of severity\, prediction of the continuous-valued severity remains a challenge. Using lower resolution images and only 1/51-th the size of training data compared to the state-of-the-art\, our work beats it by achieving a mean area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) score of 91% (improvement by 4%)\, when tested on the open-source MIMIC-CXR database.\nFinally\, a complete preprocessing and ML classification pipeline is developed for identifying which traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients will go on to develop late seizures\, from diffusion-weighted MRI (dMRI). Physical deformations following moderate-severe TBI present problems for standard processing of dMRI\, complicating the extraction of neuroimaging features. Following the novel application of a normalization technique to dMRI\, in conjunction with univariate feature selection and a linear discriminant analysis classifier\, our model improves the performance over the standard pipeline by 8% in mean accuracy and 7% in mean AUC. In future work\, we would like to explore classification using a fusion of dMRI with electroencephalogram (EEG) and functional MRI (fMRI) modalities.

SUMMARY:ECE PhD Proposal Review: Miead Tehrani-Moayyed
DESCRIPTION:PhD Proposal Review: RF Channel Models for Static and Mobile Scenarios: From Simulations to Models for Large-scale Emulations \nMiead Tehrani-Moayyed \nLocation: ISEC 432 \nAbstract: The extremely high data rates provided by communications at higher frequency bands\, e.g.\, millimeter waves (mmWave)\, can help address the unprecedented demands of next-generation wireless networks. However\, as several impairments limit wireless coverage at higher frequencies\, accurate models of wireless scenarios and testing at scale are needed to show actual potential and to realize the promises that the new wireless technologies can bring forth. Large-scale accurate simulations and wireless networks emulators are now a time and cost-effective solution to perform these tests in a lab before deployment in the field. This dissertation work focuses on modeling\, calibration\, and validation of realistic RF scenarios for wireless network emulation at scale.\nThe contributions of our work include (i) investigating the characteristic of the wireless channel at higher frequencies (mmWave) and the performance evaluation of mmWave communications on top of the recently released NR standard for 5G cellular networks\, and (ii) a framework to create RF scenarios for emulators like \emph{Colosseum} starting from rich forms of input\, like those obtained by ray-tracers or via real-field measurements.\n(i) We derive channel propagation models via ray-tracing simulations for mmWave transmissions with applications to vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications. We analyze aspects related to blockage modeling\, the effects of antenna beamwidth\, beam alignment\, and multipath fading in urban scenarios and emphasize the importance of capturing diffuse scattered rays for improved large-scale and small-scale radio channel propagation models. Furthermore\, we compare the performance of mmWave 5G NR with the 4G long-term evolution (LTE) standard on a realistic environment and show the impact of MIMO technology to improve the performance of 5G NR cellular networks. As transmitted radio signals are received as clusters of multipath rays\, identifying these clusters provides better spatial and temporal characteristics of the channel. We deal with the clustering process and its validation across a wide range of frequencies in the mmWave spectrum below 100 GHz. We analyze how the clustering solution changes with narrower-beam antennas\, and we provide a comparison of the cluster characteristics for different types of antennas.\n(ii) Our framework to model wireless scenarios for large-scale emulators optimally scales down the large set of RF data in input to the fewer parameters allowed by the emulator by using efficient clustering techniques and channel impulse response re-sampling. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework through modeling realistic scenarios for Colosseum starting from the rich input from a commercial-grade ray-tracing software: Wireless Insite by Remcom. We propose to finish our investigation (a)~by introducing ways of dealing with mobility in emulated scenarios\, and to perform adequate channel sounding to validate them\, and (b)~by indicating ways to provide input to the emulator through actual wireless measurements in the field. Particularly\, as campaigns in the field provide measurements for a sparse set of locations\, we plan to use deep learning techniques to “interpolate” channel parameters for a larger set of locations\, determining the trade-offs for achieving desired accuracy and reasonable computational requirements.

SUMMARY:MathWorks Week: Climate\, Energy and the Built Environment
DESCRIPTION:Join MathWorks engineers and Northeastern faculty for these insightful seminars in Climate Change\, Quantum Computing\, and AI. \n\nClimate\, Energy and the Built Environment\nTuesday\, March 1\, 10:30 am – 11:30 am\nRegister: MathWorksNUSymposiumClimate.eventbrite.com \nInsights of climate changes from the Common Era: an Artificial Intelligence view\nJianghao Wang\, MathWorks \nThe rapid global warming seen in observations over the past 150 years shows nearly global coherence\, the spatiotemporal coherence of climate epochs earlier in the Common Era (the past 2\,000 years)\, however\, has yet to be robustly tested. Understanding how the climate system works and how historical temperature changes shed light on the study of anthropogenic climate change. \nModeling the Stochastic Dynamics of Rotating Wind Turbine Blades\nLuca Caracoglia\, Professor\, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering \nThis presentation describes the results of recent research activities\, examining the dynamic modeling of wind turbine blades under the influence of various sources of input error and noise. The presentation will focus on the flutter phenomenon. Flutter is a flow-induced dynamic instability that results from the coupling between flap-wise bending mode and torsional mode of the rotating blade. \nLocating Damage in Structural Systems\nDennis Bernal\, Professor\, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering \nThis presentation outlines the basic ideas behind some techniques used to localize damage applicable in cases where the structure is large\, and the number of sensors is small. Visual inspection has been the traditional procedure used to check the condition of structural systems but there is significant interest in devising ways to replace or enhance this approach by incorporating information from sensors.

SUMMARY:Development of micro-magnets for bio-medical applications
DESCRIPTION:ChE Seminar Series Presents: \nNora M. Dempsey \nUniv. Grenoble Alpes\, CNRS\, Grenoble INP\, Institut NEEL\, 38000 Grenoble\, France \nAbstract: \nMagnetic flux sources are used to manipulate biological entities (cells\, embryos\, DNA\, proteins…). The magnetic field gradients produced by a flux source scales up as its size is decreased\, resulting in increased force per unit volume. Hard magnetic flux sources are particularly interesting for compact and / or portable applications while the force produced by soft magnetic flux sources on a target object are easily varied.  There is thus great potential for using both hard and soft micro-magnets as flux sources in biology and medicine. \nIn this talk I will briefly review our work on the development and micro-patterning of magnetic films\, in particular Rare Earth – Transition Metal hard magnetic films\, and the low-cost fabrication of micro-magnet arrays based on powder-polymer composites. I will then give examples of bio-medical applications of the micro-magnets we have developed. To wrap up I will discuss potential uses of high intensity pulsed magnetic field sources in bio-medical applications. \nBiography: \nNora Dempsey received her PhD from Trinity College Dublin\, Ireland\, in 1998. Since then she has been based at Institut Néel\, CNRS Grenoble in France. She works on functional magnetic materials\, with an emphasis on hard magnetic materials in film form. These films are used as model systems to guide the development of bulk magnets\, and also to develop micro-magnets for applications in biology\, medicine\, telecommunications and energy management. \nPlease contact a.ramsey@northeastern.edu for the remote seminar link.
