Recognition of Human Activities by Using Machine Learning Methods
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Rabiee, Hamid Reza (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this research, we have used machine learning methods to approach the problem of human activity recognition. As the process of labeling the data in this problem is so costly and time consuming, and regarding the copious available unlabeled data, semi supervised methods have a high performance in this problem. In recent years, graph based methods have became very populaer among semi supervised learning methods. However, constructing a graph on the data which presents their structure in a proper manner has remained a main challenge in these methods. One of the causes of this problem is the existance of the shortcut edges. In this report, we will first introduce a method to solve the problem...
Runtime Analysis of Self-adaptive Systems
, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Movaghar, Ali (Supervisor) ; Sirjani, Marjan (Supervisor)
Abstract
Increasing the complexity of software systems, their ubiquitous presence in the human activities, and necessity to preserving the functional and nonfunctional requirements of the systems under an uncertain environment, increase the need for self-adaptive systems. A self-adaptive system changes its structure and behaviors in response to changes in its environment and the system itself. A key research challenge in the self-adaptive community is to guarantee that the system fulfills its requirements. This issue can be addressed by employing formal methods during the design of the software systems. However, the assurance techniques should be used during the execution of the system as well as the...
From local similarity to global coding: An application to image classification
, Article Proceedings of the IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, Portland, OR ; 2013 , Pages 2794-2801 ; 10636919 (ISSN) ; Rabiee, H. R ; Farajtabar, M ; Ghazvininejad, M ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
Bag of words models for feature extraction have demonstrated top-notch performance in image classification. These representations are usually accompanied by a coding method. Recently, methods that code a descriptor giving regard to its nearby bases have proved efficacious. These methods take into account the nonlinear structure of descriptors, since local similarities are a good approximation of global similarities. However, they confine their usage of the global similarities to nearby bases. In this paper, we propose a coding scheme that brings into focus the manifold structure of descriptors, and devise a method to compute the global similarities of descriptors to the bases. Given a local...
HMM based semi-supervised learning for activity recognition

Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a novel method for human activity recognition that benefits from the structure and sequential properties of the test data as well as the training data. In the training phase, we obtain a fraction of data labels at constant time intervals and use them in a semi-supervised graph-based method for recognizing the user's activities. We use label propagation on a k-nearest neighbor graph to calculate the probability of association of the unlabeled data to each class in this phase. Then we use these probabilities to train an HMM in a way that each of its hidden states corresponds to one class of activity. These probabilities are used to learn the transition probabilities...
Design and Manufacturing of Gradient Cellular Tibial Stem for Total Knee Replacement
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Farahmand, Farzam (Supervisor) ; Bahrami Nasab, Marjan (Co-Supervisor)
Abstract
Loosening of uncemented tibial component is one the most common causes of total knee prosthesis failure which is a result of short-term factors such as instability and incomplete osseointegration as well as long-term factors such as peri-prosthetic stress shielding and bone atrophy. Porous cellular structures for tibial stem have been considered as a solution to this problem. This project is aimed to achieve an optimal gradient porous cellular design of tibial stem that in addition to sufficient mechanical strength, provides a perfect osseointegration and prevents bone resorption by incorporating appropriate porosity size, small micro-motion and favorable stress distribution on bone. A...
Theoretical Investigation of Quantum Optical Amplifiers in Quantum Communications
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Bahrampour, Alireza (Supervisor) ; Bathaee, Marzieh Sadat (Co-Supervisor)
Abstract
Signal transmission of information on noiseless and lossy channels is an important issue in data transmission. Using the amplifier in the transmission channels is a good solution to help send information on longer channels. In classical communication, information can be coded in the amplitude or phase of the field and an amplifier is responsible for amplifying these parameters. If we consider the conditions ideal and ignore electrical noises, Classical mechanics does not impose any restrictions on the amplification of arbitrary classical signals. Instead, in quantum telecommunications the information encoded on the quadrature of the electromagnetic field are mounted on quantum states, such...
Isograph: Neighbourhood graph construction based on geodesic distance for semi-supervised learning
, Article Proceedings - IEEE International Conference on Data Mining, ICDM, 11 December 2011 through 14 December 2011 ; December , 2011 , Pages 191-200 ; 15504786 (ISSN) ; 9780769544083 (ISBN) ; Mahdieh, M ; Rabiee, H. R ; Roshan, P. K ; Rohban, M. H ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
Semi-supervised learning based on manifolds has been the focus of extensive research in recent years. Convenient neighbourhood graph construction is a key component of a successful semi-supervised classification method. Previous graph construction methods fail when there are pairs of data points that have small Euclidean distance, but are far apart over the manifold. To overcome this problem, we start with an arbitrary neighbourhood graph and iteratively update the edge weights by using the estimates of the geodesic distances between points. Moreover, we provide theoretical bounds on the values of estimated geodesic distances. Experimental results on real-world data show significant...
