Towards Understanding Hierarchical Natural Language Commands for Robotic Navigation and Manipulation
(2011-02-01)
We describe a new model for understanding hierarchical natural language commands for robot navigation and manipulation. The model has three components: a semantic structure that captures the hierarchical structure of ...
Flexible Execution of Plans with Choice and Uncertainty
(2011-01-15)
Dynamic plan execution strategies allow an autonomous agent to respond to uncertainties, while improving robustness and reducing the need for an overly conservative plan. Executives have improved robustness by expanding ...
Regularization Predicts While Discovering Taxonomy
(2011-06-03)
In this work we discuss a regularization framework to solve multi-category when the classes are described by an underlying class taxonomy. In particular we discuss how to learn the class taxonomy while learning a multi-category ...
Remote Oblivious Storage: Making Oblivious RAM Practical
(2011-03-30)
Remote storage of data has become an increasingly attractive and advantageous option, especially due to cloud systems. While encryption protects the data, it does not hide the access pattern to the data. A natural solution ...
Structuring Unreliable Radio Networks
(2011-12-22)
In this paper we study the problem of building a connected dominating set with constant degree (CCDS) in the dual graph radio network model. This model includes two types of links: reliable links, which
always deliver ...
Gasping for AIR Why we need Linked Rules and Justifications on the Semantic Web
(2011-04-16)
The Semantic Web is a distributed model for publishing, utilizing and extending structured information using Web protocols. One of the main goals of this technology is to automate the retrieval and integration of data and ...
Partial Reversal Acyclicity
(2011-04-14)
Partial Reversal (PR) is a link reversal algorithm which ensures that the underlying graph structure is destination-oriented and acyclic. These properties of PR make it useful in routing protocols and algorithms for solving ...
Collusive Dominant-Strategy Truthfulness
(2011-04-22)
Fifty years ago, Vickrey published his famous mechanism for auctioning a single good in limited supply. The main property of Vickrey's mechanism is efficiency in dominant strategies. In absence of collusion, this is a ...
Understanding the Performance of Broadband Networks through the Statistical Analysis of Speed Tests - Supplemental materials
(2011-05-10)
Supplemental materials for the master thesis "Understanding the Performance of Broadband Networks Through the Statistical Analysis of Speed Tests", by Rubén García, submitted in May 2011 for the S.M. in Technology and ...
Reasoning about Relaxed Programs
(2011-11-15)
A number of approximate program transformations have recently emerged that enable transformed programs to trade accuracy of their results for increased performance by dynamically and nondeterministically modifying variables ...
