• (2006-03-01)
We present the design, analysis and construction of a biologicallyinspired tactile sensor. The sensor can measure normal and lateralforces, conform to the surfaces with which it comes in contact andincrease the friction ...
• (2003-10-22)
We present a stream algorithm for the Singular-Value Decomposition (SVD) of anM X N matrix A. Our algorithm trades speed of numerical convergence for parallelism,and derives from a one-sided, cyclic-by-rows Hestenes SVD. ...
• (2005-10-20)
We consider regularized least-squares (RLS) with a Gaussian kernel. Weprove that if we let the Gaussian bandwidth $\sigma \rightarrow\infty$ while letting the regularization parameter $\lambda\rightarrow 0$, the RLS solution ...
• (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 ...

• (2009-05-05)
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 ...
• (2005-12-19)
We describe a quantitative theory to account for the computations performed by the feedforward path of the ventral stream of visual cortex and the local circuits implementing them. We show that a model instantiating the ...
• (2009-10-02)
The human visual system can recognize several thousand object categories irrespective of their position and size. This combination of selectivity and invariance is built up gradually across several stages of visual processing. ...
• (2010-09-29)
This thesis provides a complete design and implementation of audit trail collection and storage for Aeolus, a distributed security platform based on information flow control. An information flow control system regulates ...
• (2006-01-25)
The field of medical image analysis has been rapidly growing for the past two decades. Besides a significant growth in computational power, scanner performance, and storage facilities, this acceleration is partially due ...
• (2004-04-28)
We formulate and interpret several multi-modal registration methods inthe context of a unified statistical and information theoretic framework. A unified interpretation clarifies the implicit assumptionsof each method ...
• (2005-09-20)
Current computer vision techniques can effectively monitor gross activities in sparse environments. Unfortunately, visual stimulus is often not sufficient for reliably discriminating between many types of activity. In ...
• (2009-10-26)
We describe a trainable computer vision system enabling the automated analysis of complex mouse behaviors. We provide software and a very large manually annotated video database used for training and testing the system. ...
• (2009-02-18)
Our goal is to automatically reconstruct 3D objects from a single image, by using prior 3D shape models of classes. The shape models, defined as a collection of oriented primitive shapes centered at fixed 3D positions, can ...
• (2008-09-10)
We present a technique for finding security vulnerabilitiesin Web applications. SQL Injection (SQLI) and cross-sitescripting (XSS) attacks are widespread forms of attackin which the attacker crafts the input to the application ...
• (2014-10-02)
We present pDNA, a system for automatically transfer- ring correct code from donor applications into recipient applications to successfully eliminate errors in the recipient. Experimental results using six donor applications ...

• (2014-08-11)
We present pDNA, a system for automatically transferring correct code from donor applications into recipient applications to successfully eliminate errors in the recipient. Experimental results using three donor applications ...
• (2014-10-02)
We present Code Phage (CP), a system for automatically transferring correct code from donor applications into recipient applications to successfully eliminate errors in the recipient. Experimental results using six donor ...
• (2010-05-05)
Access-control policies are a key infrastructural technology for computer security. However, a significant problem is that system administrators need to be able to automatically verify whether their policies capture the ...
