PhD Proposal Review: Data-Driven Control and Estimation Tianyu Dai Location: Zoom Link Abstract: During the last two decades, data-driven control (DDC) has attracted growing attention in the control community. Unlike model-based control (MBC) that first uses the collected data to identify the system, then designs the controller according to the certainty equivalence principle, DDC skips […]
PhD Proposal Review: Lightweight Neural Networks via Factorization Bin Sun Location: Zoom Link Abstract: Deep learning has become popular in recent years primarily due to powerful computing devices such as GPUs. However, many applications such as face alignment, image classification, and gesture recognition need to be deployed to multimedia devices, smartphones, or embedded systems with […]
