Theory, Application, Silicon.

Our work formulates new theoretical models for significant hurdles, develops applications around them, and realizes selected ideas on silicon.

Focus

From theory to application to silicon.

The focus of our work has been to formulate new theoretical models that address significant hurdles, develop new applications around them, and, for selected applications, realize them on silicon.

The website presents selected milestones across learning small models, imbalanced datasets, hashing, graph coarsening, swarm intelligence, healthcare, material properties, and adaptive analog circuits.

This webpage has been designed and maintained by Prof. Jayadeva's students.

Theory

Research Themes

01

Minimal Complexity Machines

Learning small models by minimizing smooth differentiable upper bounds related to the VC dimension.

02

Twin Support Vector Machines

Learning two non-parallel hyperplanes for imbalanced datasets; the method has over 1,900 Google Scholar citations.

03

Hashing and Graphs

Hashing-based methods for outliers, anomaly detection, graph coarsening, fairness, and scalable single-cell analysis.

04

EigenAnt and Swarm Intelligence

A mathematically grounded distributed shortest-path algorithm with VLSI router implementation.

Milestones

Selected Contributions

Layout of an SVM based analog to digital converter chip

SVM Based A/D Converter

A configurable analog-to-digital conversion design using support vector machines and programmable analog VLSI blocks.

EigenAnt based distributed router chip mounted on a PCB

EigenAnt Distributed Router

A VLSI implementation of EigenAnt, a mathematically grounded swarm algorithm for distributed shortest-path routing.

Learning Small Models

The Minimal Complexity Machine has led to variants for classifiers, regressors, ELM-like networks, and quantized models, with reported parameter reductions up to 300X in deep networks.

Healthcare AI

Hashing and learning methods have been applied to rare-cell discovery, cancer mutation scoring, and compact gene panels for blood-based NSCLC diagnosis.

Applications

Healthcare, materials, and analog circuits.

The research program moves between mathematical learning models and demanding real-world domains where data are scarce, imbalanced, noisy, or difficult to represent.

Rare Cell Discovery

Linear-time detection of anomalous cells from voluminous single-cell expression data using locality-sensitive hashing.

Cancer Mutations and Gene Panels

Deep learning and compact model approaches for mutation scoring and an 11 platelet-gene panel for NSCLC diagnosis.

Material Properties

Machine learning for cement literature, oxide glass properties, Brownian dynamics, and materials-science question answering.

Adaptive Analog Circuits

Support Vector Machine based A/D conversion and online calibration for compensating non-idealities in analog VLSI blocks.
