What is MINDS@UW Milwaukee?
MINDS@UW Milwaukee is an open access institutional repository for the scholarly outputs of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. It is designed to collect digital materials for long-term preservation and worldwide public access. Although the primary focus is electronic theses and dissertations, content may include department approved research papers, technical reports, conference proceedings, and reports from campus research centers. Official institutional records, journals by UWM authors and datasets are not appropriate to deposit in this repository.Read full MINDS@UW Milwaukee policy statement

Multi-Length Skills with Priors for Reinforcement Learning
(ACM, 2025-02-20)Leveraging prior experience has been effective in accelerating reinforcement learning (RL). One approach for leveraging prior experience consists of learning skills, which are temporally extended sequences of actions, and ... -
Enhancing Image Restoration through Hybrid VQVAE and Transformer Architectures: A Novel Approach
(2024-12-20)Image restoration is essential for enhancing the quality and utility of degraded images in various applications such as autonomous driving and robotics. Traditional convolutional neural network (CNN) approaches, while ... -
Refining Neural Network with Symbolic Regression
(2025-07-14)Classical neural network (NN) compression methods, such as NN pruning and distillation, focus on reducing the NN size. However, these methods often sacrifice accuracy in the process. To address this issue, we propose a ... -

Saliency-Guided Lightweight Backdoor Defense for Edge Intelligence
(2025-12-03)The expansion of edge intelligence across diverse devices and sites significantly broadens the attack surface, making backdoor attacks a critical security threat. Existing backdoor trigger mitigation methods rely heavily ... -
Poster: A Lightweight Pruning for Mitigating Neural Network Backdoor on Edge
(2025-12-03)Image-based neural networks are widely used across diverse applications, yet their inherent susceptibility to backdoor attacks has raised growing concerns. In particular, data-free backdoor attacks, which exploit benign ... -
How Heavy is the Edge? Resource Utilization of Edge Generative AI on Distributed AI Infrastructure
(2025-12-03)Distributed AI infrastructures are extensively employed in cloud industry settings to accommodate the growing demands of AI services. However, extending such infrastructures to the edge remains under exploration. This study ... -
Risk Prediction and Interpretation for Fall Events Using Explainable AI and Large Language Models
(2025-05-16)Falls represent a significant public health concern, particularly among older adults, with approximately 35.6 million cases annually in the United States alone. Traditional machine learning-based fall risk prediction methods ... -
Multi-Level Explainable AI for ECG-Based Atrial Fibrillation Detection: Exploring LIME, SHAP, and Grad-CAM for Clinical Interpretation
(2025-05-16)Atrial fibrillation (AFib) detection through ECG interpretation remains a critical yet complex task in clinical settings. While deep learning models have shown promise in automated ECG analysis, their "black box" nature ... -

(2025-08)Las distintas expresiones de metamorfosis acuáticas en las obras de María Luisa Bombal,Guadalupe Nettel, y Mercè Rodoreda permiten entender los modos poshumanos en que sus personajes femeninos desafían las normas masculinas. ... -
TERROIR STUDY OF HONEYCRISP APPLES IN WISCONSIN, USA: INSIGHTS FROM SOIL, LEAF, AND FRUIT CHEMISTRY
(2025-08)Wisconsin agriculture forms an integral part of the state's economy. Although cranberries and cherries serve as the state’s most exported fruit, a lesser known but popular local crop is apples. Terroir, the study of ... -
THEORY OF Zn-STRUCTURES
(2025-08)The goal of this dissertation is to extend the notion of $\mathcal{Z}$-structures to the family of Type $F_n$ groups; those being groups whose $K(G,1)$ complex has a finite $n$-skeleton. At the heart of this extension lies ... -
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN NEURODIVERSITY ATTITUDES AND THE IMPACT OF STUTTERING ON ADULT STUTTERERS
(2025-08)This study explored the relationship between adult stutterers’ endorsement of neurodiversity attitudes and the perceived impact of stuttering on daily life. Seven adult stutterers completed the Stuttering and Neurodiversity ... -
The Zombie in Black and White: Racialized Gender in Early English-Language Zombie Narratives
(2025-08)During the 1915-1934 U.S. occupation of Haiti, U.S. politicians and military officials insisted that their imperial project was not imperialist. To justify these claims, they relied on discourses of paternalism which ...
