    Abstract
    One of the pillars of any machine learning model is its concepts. Using software engineering, we can engineer these concepts and then develop and expand them. In this article, we present a SELM framework for Software Engineering of machine Learning Models. We then evaluate this framework through a case study. Using the SELM framework, we can improve a machine learning process efficiency and provide more accuracy in learning with less processing hardware resources and a smaller training dataset. This issue highlights the importance of an interdisciplinary approach to machine learning. Therefore, in this article, we have provided interdisciplinary teams' proposals for machine learning. © 2021...

    Abstract
    Land cover classification is one of the most important applications of POLSAR images. In this paper, a hybrid biogeography-based optimization support vector machine (HBBOSVM) has been introduced to classify POLSAR images of RADARSAT 2 in band C acquired from San Francisco, USA. The main purpose of this classification is to minimize the number of features and maximize classification accuracy. The proposed method consists of three main steps: preprocessing, feature selection and classification. As preprocessing, radiometric calibration, speckle reduction and feature extraction have been performed. In the proposed HBBO, the combination of onlooker bee of artificial bee colony (ABC) and... 

    Prediction and Control of Chaos in Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Rasoolzadeh, Arsalan (Author) ; Tavazoei, Mohammad Saleh (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Synchronous machines is one of the most popular machines in industry and in power plants. Because the dynamic of this machine is nonlinear, it can exhibit complex behaviors. In this project we have studied a special case in Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines. A case in which speed of rotor, frequency, currents amplitude and voltages amplitude change in an irregular manner. This special case is called chaos. Chaos occurs for some specific values of parameters and inputs. In this study in the first step, we have tried to find the chaotic area of parameters of system (Prediction of chaos). Then in the next step, we have designed some controllers which can eliminate chaos in the system. The... 

    An Approach to Computation based on Discrete Dynamical Systems

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Dastgheib, Doratossadat (Author) ; Daneshgar, Amir (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    In this thesis, based on an idea of A. Daneshgar [On mathematical foundations of soft computing, 11th IFSC, Zahedan, Iran(2011).], we propose a general framework to model computation which is based on discrete dynamical systems. In this regard, we formulate and justify local property as the key concept characterizing computation machines within this framework. We show that our model covers most known computation machines as classical and BSS models, Petri nets, cellular automata, Markov chains and etc. . We also study the computational power of our machine based on a variant of restrictions imposed on its different components, as its memory, or its control, and we suggest that such a... 

    Router Backdoor Insertion and Assessment

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Kazemi Khaneghah, Soheil (Author) ; Jahangir, Amir Hossein (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    With the expansion of network equipment including routers and wireless modems, these equipment have become more susceptible to backdoors and hacker attacks. One way to cause troubles to these systems is through backdoor insertion. Recently, several attacks via backdoor insertions have been reported by some of the major router companies. In this project, a complete description of routers, ways of intrusion to routers and how to change settings in routers in order to measure traffic intensity are explained. In this thesis we manually setup a backdoor in a router in order to observe its effects on local networks. Furthermore, we purposely attack a router in order to find the followings: 1. Ways... 

    Image Classification Using Sparse Representation

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Haghiri, Siyavash (Author) ; Rabiee, Hamid Reza (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    In this thesis, we have discussed image classification by sparse representation. Sparse representation is used in two different ways for image classification. The first goal of sparse representation is to make an efficient classifier, that can learn the subspace, in which the data lies. In this field we have surveyed various methods. We also proposed a method, called ”Locality Preserving Dictionary Learning” that works approximately better than state of the art similar methods, specially when training data is limited. We have reported the result of lassification on four datasets including MNIST, USPS, COIL2 and ISOLET. Another use of sparse representation, is to extract local features from... 

    Boosting for Transfer Learning in Brain-Computer Interface

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Tashakori, Arvin (Author) ; Shamsollahi, Mohammad Bagher (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Transfer Learning is one of the most important fields in the Machine Learning area. Respect to the advances that we have seen in the Computer Science, especially in the Machine Learning area, we need a tool that can transfer learnings from different domains to each other. As data distribution varies, many statistical models require restructuring using new training data. In many applications, re-assembling training data and re-structuring models is inefficient and costly, so reducing the need for this practice seems appropriate. In these cases, knowledge transfer or learning transfer between domains may be desirable. For example, in the area of the B rain-Computer Interface, when it... 

    Analyzing IoT System Using Location-Base Data

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Ghandi Jalvani, Ali (Author) ; Gholampour, Iman (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Nowadays, using different types of data has shown significant impacts on analyzing the related systems. Growth in data volume, systems complexity and existence of error and obscurity in collecting the data, increased the necessity of inventing new data analysis methods. Location-based data is an important data type for such analyses which are collected from sensors in different places. These data besides other official organization's information like municipality or Google … provide us a bulk volume of raw data. Such collections of raw data are mostly diverse, heterogeneous, bulk and outspread. Inspite of that, raw data with machine learning algorithms lead to considerable practical...

    Abstract
    Precipitation and scaling of calcium sulfate have been known as major problems facing process industries and oilfield operations. Most scale prediction models are based on aqueous thermodynamics and solubility behavior of salts in aqueous electrolyte solutions. There is yet a huge interest in developing reliable, simple, and accurate solubility prediction models. In this study, a comprehensive model based on least-squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) is presented, which is mainly devoted to calcium sulfate dihydrate (or gypsum) solubility in aqueous solutions of mixed electrolytes covering wide temperature ranges. In this respect, an aggregate of 880 experimental data were gathered from... 

    Prediction of natural gas flow through chokes using support vector machine algorithm

    , Article Journal of Natural Gas Science and Engineering ; Vol. 18, issue , 2014 , pp. 155-163 ; ISSN: 18755100 Nejatian, I ; Kanani, M ; Arabloo, M ; Bahadori, A ; Zendehboudi, S ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    In oil and gas fields, it is a common practice to flow liquid and gas mixtures through choke valves. In general, different types of primary valves are employed to control pressure and flow rate when the producing well directs the natural gas to the processing equipment. In this case, the valve normally is affected by elevated levels of flow (or velocity) as well as solid materials suspended in the gas phase (e.g., fine sand and other debris). Both surface and subsurface chokes may be installed to regulate flow rates and to protect the porous medium and surface facilities from unusual pressure instabilities.In this study a reliable, novel, computer based predictive model using Least-Squares... 

    Parallel machine scheduling problem with preemptive jobs and transportation delay

    , Article Computers and Operations Research ; Vol. 50, issue , Oct , 2014 , p. 14-23 Shams, H ; Salmasi, N ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    In this research the parallel machine scheduling problem with preemption by considering a constant transportation delay for migrated jobs and minimization of makespan as the criterion i.e., Pm|pmtn(delay)|Cmax is investigated. It is assumed that when a preempted job resumes on another machine, it is required a delay between the processing time of the job on these two machines. This delay is called transportation delay. We criticize an existing mathematical model for the research problem in the literature [Boudhar M, Haned A. Preemptive scheduling in the presence of transportation times. Computers & Operations Research 2009; 36(8):2387-93]. Then, we prove that there exists an optimal schedule... 

    Randomized partial checking revisited

    , Article Lecture Notes in Computer Science (including subseries Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence and Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics) ; Volume 7779 LNCS , February , 2013 , Pages 115-128 ; 03029743 (ISSN) ; 9783642360947 (ISBN) Khazaei, S ; Wikstrom, D ; Sharif University of Technology
    2013
    Abstract
    We study mix-nets with randomized partial checking (RPC) as proposed by Jakobsson, Juels, and Rivest (2002). RPC is a technique to verify the correctness of an execution both for Chaumian and homomorphic mix-nets. The idea is to relax the correctness and privacy requirements to achieve a more efficient mix-net. We identify serious issues in the original description of mix-nets with RPC and show how to exploit these to break both correctness and privacy, both for Chaumian and homomorphic mix-nets. Our attacks are practical and applicable to real world mix-net implementations, e.g., the Civitas and the Scantegrity voting systems  

    Analytical modeling of magnetic flux in superconducting synchronous machine

    , Article IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity ; Volume 23, Issue 1 , 2013 ; 10518223 (ISSN) Yazdanian, M ; Elhaminia, P ; Zolghadri, M. R ; Fardmanesh, M ; Sharif University of Technology
    2013
    Abstract
    A general model for superconducting synchronous machines in which the rotor can be considered as a magnetic or a nonmagnetic material is proposed and analytically investigated. Analytical equations for magnetic flux in different regions of the machine have been developed. Furthermore, nonlinear magnetization of the iron core is studied. In order to solve the equations in the case of the iron saturation, a reiterative algorithm is proposed. Finite-element simulation has also been performed to verify the equations and the proposed algorithm. The obtained analytical results show good agreement with finite-element method results

    Abstract
    Brushless doubly fed induction machines show promising results for wind power applications. Due to their poor rotor magnetic coupling and relatively high value of slip, core loss is an important factor which affects the steady state and dynamic performance. The core loss effect on performance of brushless doubly fed induction machines has not been extensively studied in the literature. In this paper, a steady state equivalent circuit taking core loss into account is introduced. Simple relationships are derived which show that the brushless doubly-fed induction machine is similar to the cascaded doubly-fed induction machine in terms of core loss. The energy conservation principle is applied...

    Abstract
    Tool Condition Monitoring (TCM) is a vital demand of advanced manufacturing in order to develop automated unmanned production. Continuing the machining operation with a worn or damaged tool will result in damages to the workpiece. This problem becomes more important in supplementary machining processes like drilling which the workpiece usually has passed a lot of machining processes and any damage to workpiece at this stage results in high production losses. In this research features of sound pressure and vibration signals in drilling process are recorded and analyzed in order to detect tool wear. Signal statistical features are extracted in time domain, and the features trends as the tool...

    Abstract
    Although iron-cored superconducting machine has been recently proposed in many papers for its advantages over conventional air-cored structure such as less cost and less perpendicular magnetic component on HTS tapes it has not been studied analytically yet. This paper analytically investigates a general model for iron-cored superconducting synchronous machine. In this paper, analytical equations for magnetic flux in different regions of machine have been proposed along with an algorithm to solve the equations. The analytical equations will be then used to optimize the thickness of rotor iron in order to maximize the machine power density. Analytical and finite element simulation results will...

    Abstract
    The prediction of rock sawability is very important in the cost estimation and the best planning of the plants. Rock sawability depends on the machine characteristics and rock mechanical properties. In this study, a new classification was developed with the respect to rock mechanical properties such as Uniaxial Compressive Strength, Brazilian tensile strength, Schmidt hammer value and Los Angeles abrasion loss. Using this system the carbonate rock sawability index (CRSi) of several types of carbonate rock was evaluated and classifi ed into fi ve categories and then a new model was developed with the respect to CRSi and machining characteristics by using the statistical analyses for... 

    Application of a fuzzy analytical hierarchy process to the prediction of vibration during rock sawing

    , Article Mining Science and Technology ; Volume 21, Issue 5 , 2011 , Pages 611-619 ; 16745264 (ISSN) Mikaeil, R ; Ataei, M ; Yousefi, R ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    A new predictive model for evaluating the vibration of a sawing machine was developed using a new rock classification system. The predictors are machine parameters and a rock sawability index. The new rock classification system includes four major parameters of the rock: uniaxial compressive strength, abrasivity index, mean Moh's hardness, and Young's modulus. The FAHP approach was used when determining the weights of these parameters by six decision makers. Two groups of carbonate rocks were sawn using a fully-instrumented laboratory sawing rig at different feed rates and depths of cut. During the sawing trials system vibration was monitored as a measure of saw performance. Then, a new...

    Abstract
    Product quality problem is a critical issue for multistage manufacturing processes, especially in continuous production lines whereby quality characteristics are measured at the end of the line. Therefore, it is important to reduce process variation by identifying its sources and eliminating its causes. In this regard, a novel approach, to identify the source of variation in multistage manufacturing processes through integration of the Fisher's linear discriminant analysis and the stream of variation methodology, is proposed. Linear discriminant analysis is used to separate the variation of quality characteristics through the different stages of the manufacturing processes while the stream...
