Mouse Behavior Recognition with The Wisdom of Crowd
(2013-09-19)
In this thesis, we designed and implemented a crowdsourcing system to annotatemouse behaviors in videos; this involves the development of a novel clip-based video labeling tools, that is more efficient than traditional ...
Data and Code for "A New Approach to Animacy Detection"
(2018-06-07)
This archive contains the code and data for the workshop article "A New Approach to Animacy Detection," published in 2018 in the the 27th International Conference on Computational Linguistics (COLING 2018), in Santa Fe, ...
The computational magic of the ventral stream: sketch of a theory (and why some deep architectures work).
(2012-12-29)
This paper explores the theoretical consequences of a simple assumption: the computational goal of the feedforward path in the ventral stream -- from V1, V2, V4 and to IT -- is to discount image transformations, after ...
Multi-Class Learning: Simplex Coding And Relaxation Error
(2011-09-27)
We study multi-category classification in the framework of computational learning theory. We show how a relaxation approach, which is commonly used in binary classification, can be generalized to the multi-class setting. ...
Cache Calculus: Modeling Caches through Differential Equations
(2015-12-19)
Caches are critical to performance, yet their behavior is hard to understand and model. In particular, prior work does not provide closed-form solutions of cache performance, i.e. simple expressions for the miss rate of a ...
SEEC: A General and Extensible Framework for Self-Aware Computing
(2011-11-07)
Modern systems require applications to balance competing goals, e.g. achieving high performance and low power. Achieving this balance places an unrealistic burden on application programmers who must understand the power ...
Optimal Parametric Auctions
(2012-06-14)
We study the problem of an auctioneer who wants to maximize her profits. In our model, there are n buyers with private valuations drawn from independent distributions F_1,...,F_n. When these distributions are known to the ...
Throwing Down the Visual Intelligence Gauntlet
(2012)
In recent years, scientific and technological advances have produced artificial systems that have matched or surpassed human capabilities in narrow domains such as face detection and optical character recognition. However, ...
On the Formal Semantics of the Cognitive Middleware AWDRAT
(2015-03-03)
The purpose of this work is two fold: on one hand we want to formalize the behavior of critical components of the self generating and adapting cognitive middleware AWDRAT such that the formalism not only helps to understand ...
Energy-Efficient Approximate Computation in Topaz
(2014-08-19)
We present Topaz, a new task-based language for computations that execute on approximate computing platforms that may occasionally produce arbitrarily inaccurate results. The Topaz implementation maps approximate tasks ...
