    Deep Model for Improved Operator Function State Assessment

    A deep learning framework is presented for engagement assessment using EEG signals. Deep learning is a recently developed machine learning technique and has been applied to many applications. In this paper, we proposed a deep learning strategy for operator function state (OFS) assessment. Fifteen pilots participated in a flight simulation from Seattle to Chicago. During the four-hour simulation, EEG signals were recorded for each pilot. We labeled 20- minute data as engaged and disengaged to fine-tune the deep network and utilized the remaining vast amount of unlabeled data to initialize the network. The trained deep network was then used to assess if a pilot was engaged during the four-hour simulation

    A GPU-based Approximate SVD Algorithm

    Abstract. Approximation of matrices using the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) plays a central role in many science and engineering applications. However, the computation cost of an exact SVD is prohibitively high for very large matrices. In this paper, we describe a GPU-based approximate SVD algorithm for large matrices. Our method is based on the QUIC-SVD introduced by [6], which exploits a tree-based structure to efficiently discover a subset of rows that spans the matrix space. We describe how to map QUIC-SVD onto the GPU, and improve its speed and stability using a blocked Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization method. Results show that our GPU algorithm achieves 6∼7 times speedup over an optimized CPU version of QUIC-SVD, which itself is orders of magnitude faster than exact SVD methods. Using a simple matrix partitioning scheme, we have extended our algorithm to out-of-core computation, suitable for very large matrices that exceed the main memory size
