Title: Exploration and Analysis of Conventional Threshold Voltage Estimation Methods for Advanced Nano MOSFETs

Abstract: Threshold voltage (VTH) is the most evocative aspect of MOSFET operation. It is the crucial device constraint to model on-off transition characteristics. Precise VTH value of the device is extracted and evaluated by several estimation techniques. However, these assessed values of VTH diverge from the exact values due to various short channel effects (SCEs) and non-idealities present in the nano device. Numerous prevalent VTH extraction methods are discussed. All the results are verified by extensive 2-D TCAD simulation and confirmed through analytical results at 10-nm technology node along with various sub 45-nm technology nodes. Application of the threshold extraction methods to implement noise analysis is briefly presented to infer the most appropriate extraction method at nanometer technology nodes.

Title: Intelligent Information Retrieval Framework

Abstract: Information searching is becoming very common and important in the current digital era and the availability of substantial digital information of various domains. A search engine returns a list of related documents against a user query. Most of the results retrieved by the search engines may not be relevant to the user. Due to the problem of polysemy, the results may belong to more than one meaning related to the user query. The polysemy queries cause ambiguities in the search result and affect the relevancy of document retrieval.
Polysemy is many possible meanings of a word. A user may not be interested in all the documents returned in response to a search and may want to focus on a coherent group of similar documents. Identifying the relationship of interest among web data is the main challenge. Various approaches have been used for search result clustering in the past few years. The session presents our framework that utilizes the capabilities of the traditional and evolutionary clustering approach for efficient and convenient web search and directions worthy of future research.

Title: Metaheuristic Algorithms for solving Engineering Optimization Problems.

Abstract: Metaheuristic algorithms are popular for solving search and optimization problems. The applications of metaheuristic algorithms are wide and cover several areas such as optimization, pattern recognition, learning, scheduling, economics, bioinformatics, natural language processing, image, and video processing etc. Objective (single or multi) function is used to measure the effectiveness of a metaheuristic algorithm, distributed randomly in the population. Typically, a population start dominating as the searching evolves. During the searching, objective function value shows no improvement as the population converges to a local optimum, this leads to the problems of the premature convergence and slow finishing. There are several factors involves for the success of a metahuristic algorithm. In this talk, I will cover (a) the factors which needs special attention before implementing a metahuristic algorithm for engineering optimization problems; (b) premature convergence and slow finishing; (c) approaches for alleviating premature convergence; and (d) a case study to explain the methodology of implementing a metahuristic algorithm for solving a real-world optimization problem.
