Brief course description:

This course starts with a review of Markov chain, random walk, Poisson process, martingale, and limit theorems. The main content includes a few major topics: Markov process (also called continuoustime Markov chain), renewal theory; queueing theory, and Brownian motion.

Brief course description:

This course focuses on convex optimization and its applications to communication systems, information theory, and signal processing. The first part of this course aims to give students the tools and training to recognizing and solving convex optimization problems. Topics include convex sets, functions, and optimization problems including least-squares, linear and quadratic programs, semidefinite programs, and other problems. The second part of the course will be on algorithms for solving convex optimization problems, especially those in communication systems and others. Optimality conditions, duality theory, and interiorpoint methods are presented.

Brief course description:

This course covers the basis of image processing and computer vision. We will first cover principles of image formation, operations to alter images, feature extraction and other image processing methods to turn images into abstract descriptions. We will then turn to computer vision topics that discuss how to perceive the structure and semantics of the world, including multi-view geometry, structure from motion, and visual localization and recognition. We will also touch upon related topics in machine learning which are widely used in computer vision. The challenges for transmitting image/video over communications networks and potential technical solutions will be discussed.
