A single-pass grid-based algorithm for clustering big data on spatial databases
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
The problem of clustering multi-dimensional data has been well researched in the scientific community. It is a problem with wide scope and applications. With the rapid growth of very large databases, traditional clustering ...
Squadbox : a tool to combat email harassment using friendsourced moderation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
Online harassment is both a social and technical problem, and has yet to be successfully solved. In order to better understand the issue and the challenges surrounding it, we conducted interviews with eighteen recipients ...
Capturing the human figure through a wall
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
We present RF-Capture, a system that captures the human figure - i.e., a coarse skeleton - through a wall. RF-Capture tracks the 3D positions of a person's limbs and body parts even when the person is fully occluded from ...
A foundation for intelligent multimodal drawing and sketching programs
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
Computers should be able to assist an engineer or designer at all stages of design without chasing the engineer away or frustrating her. In order for this to occur, the computer needs to be able to understand what the ...
Dynamic, personalized discrete choice incentive allocation to optimize system performance
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
Incentivization is a powerful way to get independent agents to make choices that drive a system to a desired optimum. Simply offering compensation for making a certain choice is enough to change the behavior of some people. ...
AdaptDB : adaptive partitioning for distributed joins
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
Big data analytics often involves complex join queries over two or more tables. Such join processing is expensive in a distributed setting both because large amounts of data must be read from disk, and because of data ...
A computational exploration of rounding algorithms for the multiway cut problem
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
Synchronizing trees and text in a software model analyzer
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
Computational tools for including specificity in protein design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
ASR dependent techniques for speaker recognition
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
