SUMMARY:Guanying Sun's PhD Dissertation Defense
DESCRIPTION:“Optimizing Reconstruction for Mm-Wave Body Scanner Imaging” \nCommittee: \nProf. Carey Rappaport (Advisor) \nProf. Edwin Marengo \nProf. Jose Martinez-Lorenzo \nAbstract: \nIn the past decades\, due to evolving threats\, passenger screening has become an important secure measure at airport and other secure locations. Numerous passenger screening techniques have been developed by researchers in both academia and industry to detect threats from explosives and weapons. Among these developments\, the multistatic mm-wave radar Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) system was developed at Northeastern University. A problem with this system is the sidelobes from its physical limitations\, such as the finite aperture extent and the violation of the Nyquist sampling criterion by the sparse array. Therefore\, it is important to suppress the sidelobes so that to improve the quality of the reconstruction image. In this proposal\, we investigate two categories of methods\, one is based on post-processing\, and the other is based on system configuration optimization. In the former category four methods are developed\, while in the latter two methods are proposed. \nIn the first category\, the first method is the phase coherence method which is designed to weight the coherent sum based on the phase diversity of the reconstructed solutions for different transmitters. In this method\, two ways are considered to construct the Phase Coherence Factor (PCF). The first way is to use the information of wrapped phase\, and the second way is to use the information of unwrapped phase\, which is more intuitive than the first way. The second method is the coherence factor related method. Three coherence-factor based methods are analyzed and then incorporated into the imaging procedure of our nearfield millimeter-wave radar security scanning system. The third method is the SNR-dependent coherence factor method\, which takes SNR into consideration when forming the coherence factor. This method can generate better results than the pure coherence-factor based methods by choosing a proper set of parameters. The fourth method is the block-weighting algorithm where the neighbor weight amplifies bright areas and attenuates dark areas\, while the block keeps the influence local. The effectiveness of these methods has been verified with both simulation and measurement data. \nIn the second category\, the first method is optimizing receiver positions via PSF-based multi-objective optimization. Two metrics for measuring image quality of the PSF are proposed and defined as objective functions. The solution-selection metric is introduced to select the desired solution from the numerous Pareto-optimal solutions. Simulation shows that the optimized receiver design generates images with lower sidelobe level than the uniform receiver design. The second method is the dual-frequency radar design\, where a dual frequency\, wideband antenna array is designed by combining a high frequency subarray with a low frequency subarray. The image of the dual frequency array is obtained by multiplying the images of the two subarrays. We analyzed the amplitude of the PSF theoretically and proposed a criterion for the selection of dual frequency array design. The system imaging simulation shows that the grating lobes are significantly reduced for the dual frequency array with fewer radar modules/elements than the conventional array. This design will make the new generation system superior to the conventional scanning system.

SUMMARY:Kerem Enhos' PhD Proposal
DESCRIPTION:“Software-Defined Inter-medium Visible Light Communication and Underwater Acoustic Networks” \nCommittee Members:\nProf. Tommaso Melodia (Advisor)\nProf. Kaushik Chowdhury\nProf. Stefano Basagni\nDr. Emrecan Demirors \nAbstract:\n“Multi-Domain Operations” paradigm has been receiving significant attention both in military and civilian worlds. To realize this novel paradigm\, it is imperative to establish robust communication links to transfer data between devices operating in multiple domains. However\, as of today\, establishing high data rate\, robust\, secure\, and bi-directional communication links between aerial and underwater assets across the air-water interface is still an open problem. We address these challenges with software-defined visible light networking to establish bi-directional wireless links through the air-water interface. After generating a simulation model for inter-medium communication channel\, we also empirically derived an optimal parameter selection for carrierless amplitude and phase (CAP) modulation. Then\, we design and prototype a software-defined visible light  communication (VLC) modem and conducted extensive experimental evaluation. Apart from inter-medium communication\, software-defined networking can also be leveraged for underwater acoustic communication (UWAC)\, where we designed and assessed coexistence of multi-dimensional chirp spread spectrum (MCSS) with other UWAC schemes. We first evaluated the performance of the proposed communication scheme in a heterogeneous network setting  where it co-exists with a ZP-OFDM communication link\, then in a homogeneous network setting where all links are using MCSS scheme. Finally\, we used  this software-defined networking system to implement a single-input  multiple-output (SIMO) system for UWAC modems that are  deployed in a  distributed manner. Then\, we conduct a thorough experimental evaluation in  ocean environment for various subcarrier bandwidths and constellations  using three distributed receivers.

SUMMARY:MathWorks Weeks at Northeastern: Machine Learning/AI
DESCRIPTION:Zoom Link: https://northeastern.zoom.us/j/93686271760?pwd=QzlkNzhmQXQ0UjQ0M0J2V0p3d2ZtZz09 \nPresentations: \nApplied Reinforcement Learning with MATLAB and Simulink \nDr. Mohammad Delghani\, MIE Department\, Northeastern \nDeep reinforcement learning (DRL) is a field within artificial intelligence that has recently gained popularity in both research and application domains. Due to MATLAB’s strengths in solving RL problems\, modular teaching materials are created to enable students learn how to apply RL in multiple domains. This includes problems in Portfolio Management\, Autonomous HVAC Control\, Classic Control Problems\, and Robotics. These hands-on modules will enable students to learn (i) DRL concepts and theory\, (ii) how to formulate problems in the MATLAB environment\, and (iii) how to use the combination of Simulink\, Reinforcement Learning\, and Deep Learning toolboxes to solve problems. \n  \nA Brain-Inspired Low-Dimensional Computing Classifier for Inference on Tiny Devices \nDr. Xiaolin Xu. ECE Department\, Northeastern \nThis talk presents on the fundamental drawbacks of the so-called hyperdimensional computing (or HDC) and propose a low-dimensional computing (LDC) alternative. Specifically\, by mapping our LDC classifier into an equivalent neural network\, we optimize the model using a principled training approach. Most importantly\, our method can improve the inference accuracy while successfully reducing the ultra-high dimension of existing HDC models by orders of magnitude (e.g.\, 8000 vs. 4/64). \n  \nAI and the Power of Simulation \nDr. Jianghao Wang\, MathWorks \nSimulation has become an integral part of product development in almost all industries and is reaching new levels with trends like Digital Twins. How can the power of simulation be combined with the impressive models behind the AI hype? Truth be told – in many ways! In this session we will talk about four large trends for AI and Simulation: AI for Reduced Order Modelling (ROM) – a way of managing the computational burden from High-Fidelity models; AI based Virtual Sensors – mimicking a physical sensor where real values cannot be measured; Reinforcement Learning based Controls – letting the model teach itself against a simulation environment; AI model enhancement using Digital Twins – diversify your dataset using simulation

SUMMARY:Sadjad Asghari Esfeden's PhD Dissertation Defense
DESCRIPTION:“Spatiotemporal Localization of Object Handover for Human Robot Collaboration” \nCommittee Members: \nProf. Deniz Erdogmus (Advisor) \nProf. Taskin Padir \nProf. Eugene Tunik \nProf. Mathew Yarossi \nAbstract: \nHuman-robot interaction in a physical world like handover of objects requires perception systems to be efficient in localizing the object of interest. We propose an approach to estimate the location of the object with a low-cost RGB camera in a real-time inference for human-robot handover. While handover can take place in a short amount of time\, it is important for a robot to keep track of the object and fill in the gaps of missing detections in the perception module\, especially when the object is partially or completely occluded. A robot needs to proactively detect and track the object since the human decides where and when to transfer the object to the robot in a human to robot object handover.  In order to develop a perception system for robot to be capable of constantly localizing the object and predict its location and time of transfer\, we integrate an object detection algorithm with a tracking framework. The evaluation of this pipeline shows promising results for the goal of localization and tracking of the handover object and can help its location prediction in future.

SUMMARY:MathWorks Weeks at Northeastern: Bio-related Applications
DESCRIPTION:Register Now \n\n\n\n\nPresentations: \nRegulation of the cellular redox environment in the nematode C. elegans \nDr. Javier Apfeld: Biology Department\, Northeastern \nBacteria\, fungi\, plants\, and animals have long been known to excrete large quantities of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to attack their prey and pathogens. H2O2 is also a byproduct of aerobic respiration. The proteome wide shift in cysteine oxidation induced by changing H2O2 levels is now recognized a critical post-translational mechanism that rapidly and reversibly modulates a wide array of biological processes. While much is known about the intracellular pathways that oxidize cysteine\, little is known about the intercellular pathways that determine the oxidation of cysteines in target tissues due to the technical difficulty of measuring oxidation non-destructively. In my talk\, I will discuss how our innovations in live imaging of protein oxidation are enabling my lab to fill this critical gap in knowledge\, which hinders understanding of how animals coordinate diverse cellular processes by regulating the oxidation of proteins via intercellular signaling. \n  \nDetermining limb swelling during physical activity with wearable sensors \nDr. Kris Dorsey: ECE Department\, Northeastern \nThe goal of this project is to investigate a wearable sensing system that will deliver information about fluid retention state. Information uncovered through this project will be critical to design systems that can detect and warn of fluid retention for disease treatment. We will describe progress towards a healthy subjects study using physical activity to safely induce swelling and in using datasets with MATLAB’s Neural Network Fitting app to identify limb size and swelling state from wearable sensor measurements \n  \nUsing AI to predict Toxicity in small molecules \nDr. Elvira Osuna-Highley: MathWorks \nMachine Learning is rapidly becoming a standard tool in many fields\, including in drug discovery and development. Every step in the drug discovery process accumulates costs. Early-stage toxicity determination is critical for minimizing cost and maximizing scientific efficiency. Using Machine Learning\, we determined the toxicity of several small molecules with an accuracy of 81%. This method can increase efficiency and reduce costs in the drug discovery workflow.

SUMMARY:Jared Miller Ph.D Defense/Proposal Announcement
DESCRIPTION:“Safety Analysis for Nonlinear and Time-Delay Systems using Occupation Measures” \nInternational Village 022 \nCommittee Members:\nProf. Mario Sznaier (Advisor)\nProf. Octavia Camps\nProf. Bahram Shafai\nProf. Eduardo Sontag\nProf. Didier Henrion (LAAS-CNRS) \nAbstract:\nThis research extends an occupation measure framework to analyze the behavior and safety of dynamical systems. A motivating application of trajectory analysis is in peak estimation\, which finds the extreme values of a state function along trajectories. Examples of peak estimation include finding the maximum height of a wave\, voltage on a power line\, speed of a vehicle\, and infected population in an epidemic. Peak estimation can be applied towards safety quantification\, such as by measuring the safety of a trajectory by its distance of closest approach to an unsafe set. \nA finite-dimensional but nonconvex peak estimation problem can be converted into an infinite-dimensional linear program (LP) in measures\, which is in turn bounded by a convergent sequence of semidefinite programs. The LP is posed in terms of an initial\, a terminal\, and an occupational measure\, where the occupation measure contains all possible information about the dynamical systems’ trajectories. This research applies measure-based methods towards safety quantification (e.g. distance estimation\, control effort needed to crash)\, hybrid systems\, bounded-uncertain systems (including for data-driven analysis)\, stochastic systems\, and time-delay systems. The modularity of this measure-based framework allows for multiple problem variations to be applied simultaneously (e.g. distance estimation under time-delays)\, and for optimization models to be synthesized using MATLAB. Solving these optimization problems results in certifiable guarantees on system performance and behavior.

SUMMARY:Cheng Gongye's MS Thesis Defense
DESCRIPTION:“Using Floating-Point Timing Side-Channels to Reverse Engineer Deep Neural Networks” \nCommittee Members:\nProf. Yunsi Fei (Advisor)\nProf. Aidong Ding\nProf. Xiaolin Xu \nAbstract: \nTrained Deep Neural Network (DNN) models have become valuable intellectual property. A new attack surface has emerged for DNNs: model reverse engineering. Several recent attempts have utilized various common side channels. However\, recovering DNN parameters\, weights and biases\, remains a challenge. In this paper\, we present a novel attack that utilizes a floating-point timing side channel to reverse-engineer parameters of multi-layer perceptron (MLP) models in software implementation\, entirely and precisely. To the best of our knowledge\, this is the first work that leverages a floating-point timing side channel for effective DNN model recovery.
