Body-form and body-pose recognition with a hierarchical model of the ventral stream
(2013-06-18)
When learning to recognize a novel body shape, e.g., a panda bear, we are not misled by changes in its pose. A "jumping panda bear" is readily recognized, despite having no prior visual experience with the conjunction of ...
iJam: Jamming Oneself for Secure Wireless Communication
(2010-06-07)
Wireless is inherently less secure than wired networks because of its broadcast nature. Attacks that simply snoop on the wireless medium successfully defeat the security of even 802.11 networks using the most recent security ...
PhD Thesis Proposal: Human-Machine Collaborative Optimization via Apprenticeship Scheduling
(2015-07-02)
Resource optimization in health care, manufacturing, and military operations requires the careful choreography of people and equipment to effectively fulfill the responsibilities of the profession. However, resource ...
A Software Approach to Unifying Multicore Caches
(2011-06-28)
Multicore chips will have large amounts of fast on-chip cache memory, along with relatively slow DRAM interfaces. The on-chip cache memory, however, will be fragmented and spread over the chip; this distributed arrangement ...
Asynchronous Failure Detectors
(2013-01-30)
Failure detectors -- oracles that provide information about process crashes -- are an important abstraction for crash tolerance in distributed systems. The generality of failure-detector theory, while providing great ...
Delay Controllability: Multi-Agent Coordination under Communication Delay
(2018-01-29)
Simple Temporal Networks with Uncertainty provide a useful framework for modeling temporal constraints and, importantly, for modeling actions with uncertain durations. To determine whether we can construct a schedule for ...
Efficient Cache Coherence on Manycore Optical Networks
(2010-02-11)
Ever since industry has turned to parallelism instead of frequency scaling to improve processor performance, multicore processors have continued to scale to larger and larger numbers of cores. Some believe that multicores ...
Privacy and Security Risks for National Health Records Systems
(2018-01-24)
A review of national health records (NEHR) systems shows that privacy and security risks have a profound impact on the success of such projects. Countries have different approaches when dealing with privacy and security ...
Faster Dynamic Controllability Checking in Temporal Networks with Integer Bounds
(International Joint Conference in Artificial Intelligence, 2019-08)
Simple Temporal Networks with Uncertainty (STNUs) provide a useful formalism with which to reason about events and the temporal constraints that apply to them. STNUs are in particular notable because they facilitate reasoning ...
A Natural Language Interface for Mobile Devices
(2018-03-01)
Creating a robust, automated capability to respond to natural language requests has been a longstanding goal in the development of intelligent systems. This article describes the StartMobile system, originally developed ...
