Dense visual learning for robot manipulation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
We would like to have highly useful robots which can richly perceive their world, semantically distinguish its fine details, and physically interact with it sufficiently for useful robotic manipulation. This is hard to ...
Multi-agent coordination under limited communication
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
In this thesis, we present a theory for constructing real-time executives that can reason about communication between agents. In multi-agent coordination problems, different agents have different beliefs about the state ...
Partial state in dataflow-based materialized views
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)
This thesis proposes a practical database system that lowers latency and increases supported load for read-heavy applications by using incrementally-maintained materialized views to cache query results. As opposed to ...
Programmable interfaces for biomedical and neuroscience applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)
The rapidly changing fields of biomedical sciences and neuroscience increasingly adopt scientific and technological innovations to advance the diagnosis and treatment of disease. With the emergence of miniaturized and ...
Analytics for accelerating biomedical innovation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)
Despite the many breakthroughs in biomedical research and the increasing demand for new drugs to treat unmet medical needs, the productivity of research and development in the pharmaceutical industry has been steadily ...
A hybrid approach towards on-chip visible lasers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
In recent years, the world of nanostructured optically active materials has expanded to include organic molecules; colloidal nanocrystals such as quantum dots, quantum rods, and quantum wells or nanoplatelets; perovskite ...
Techniques for enhancing electron microscopy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Electron microscopy is a powerful imaging technique that allows us to push the limits of our understanding of materials at the nanoscale. An important limitation in the application of electron microscopy to organic and ...
Image segmentation for highly variable anatomy : applications to congenital heart disease
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Automated segmentation of medical images can facilitate clinical tasks in diagnosis, patient monitoring, and surgical planning. However, current methods either rely on explicit correspondence detection, or use machine ...
Anomaly detection through explanations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Under most conditions, complex machines are imperfect. When errors occur, as they inevitably will, these machines need to be able to (1) localize the error and (2) take appropriate action to mitigate the repercussions of ...
Causal inference : a Tensor's perspective
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Quantifying the causal effect of an intervention is a ubiquitous problem that spans a wide net of applications. Typically, this quantity is measured through the difference in outcomes under treatment (e.g., novel drug) and ...
