Congenital mental disorders, such as schizophrenia and major depressive disorder, affect approximately 20% of the US population. Research in clinical psychiatry, brain development, and medical genetics has established causal links between the nature of genetic backgrounds to the firing pattern of different types of neurons in the brain, which, in turn, leads to the psychopathological symptoms documented in clinical settings. ...

Mega-Constellations are interconnected webs of thousands of satellites that deliver high-speed wireless communication to ground station clients. Major corporations, such as SpaceX and Amazon, utilize mega-constellations stationed at various altitudes in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). In recent years, the number of LEO satellites in orbit has greatly increased, resulting in conflicting bandwidth usage. Any such overlaps between various mega-constellations, known ... Read More

Machine learning and artificial intelligence have become increasingly used in the healthcare industry, but they have privacy concerns. Federated learning is presented as a potential solution to these concerns, but its vulnerability to inference attacks is noted. The Argonne Privacy-Preserving Federated Learning (APPFL) framework is introduced as a privacy-preserving technique for federated learning. The project aims to evaluate the effectiveness ...

Portfolio optimization is the process of gathering the stocks most likely to create a well-rounded portfolio with the most opportunity to generate greater returns for its shareholders. Programming languages such as python can be used to calculate the volatility of certain stocks in order to reach an optimal portfolio. Certain packages and data readers found in Python are utilized for ... Read More

With AI’s endless capabilities, humans have found numerous applications for AI to assist in both complex and simple tasks to improve efficiency and productivity. After extensive research on AI and its uses, we created our bot using Google’s Dialogflow CX Console. The purpose of this bot was to assist users in ordering food. This bot would be able to greet ...

The goal of the study is to research current technology being used to monitor heart rate patterns and learn how to incorporate machine learning to make current methods more effective and cost efficient.

This study utilizes a dataset containing records of patients’ age, weight, height, etc. along with typical electrocardiogram (ECG) test data. The first analysis approach involved the use ... Read More

Online repositories host data collected for research purposes in multiple formats to align with the researchers’ current data format. MIT’s Madrigal Repository for upper atmospheric sciences has many sub-repositories that store data on specific regions of research. The CEDAR subrepository hosts some GNSS scintillation data, similar to data collected by Illinois Institute of Technology receivers in Poker Flat, Alaska. Observing ... Read More

The purpose of this design experiment was to attempt to determine the accuracy/possibility of using Kalman filters to approximate a human’s location when blocked by an occlusion/obstacle. This could potentially be implemented in the field of human-robot interaction to allow humans and robots to collaborate without interference. The outcome of this research project could similarly result in more accurate measurements ... Read More

1.3 million people are killed in road accidents each year, and 94% of these accidents are caused by human error. This has motivated advancements in autonomous vehicle technology, and more recently, connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs). CAVs communicate location and intention information with each other over the air, and the prospect of cooperative planning within a system of CAVs promises greater ... Read More
