• (2005)
I devised and implemented a method for constructing regular andsemiregular geometric objects in n-dimensional Euclidean space.Given a finite reflection group (a Coxeter group) G, there is a standard way to give G a group ...
• (2005-03-02)
This monograph presents the Timed Input/Output Automaton (TIOA) modeling framework, a basic mathematical framework to support description and analysis of timed systems.
• (2003-08-27)
Revised version -- November 23, 2004.This paper presents the Timed Input/Output Automaton (TIOA) modeling framework, a basic mathematical framework to support description and analysis of timed systems.
• (2012)
In recent years, scientific and technological advances have produced artificial systems that have matched or surpassed human capabilities in narrow domains such as face detection and optical character recognition. However, ...
• (2007-05-30)
The last 20 years have led to unprecedented improvements in chipdensity and system performance fueled mainly by Moore's Law. Duringthe same time, system and application software have bloated, leadingto unmanageable ...
• (2007-04-23)
The human visual system is remarkably tolerant to degradations in image resolution: in a scene recognition task, human performance is similar whether $32 \times 32$ color images or multi-mega pixel images are used. With ...
• (2009-02-13)
This paper provides an overview of the MOOS-IvP autonomy software modules. The MOOS-IvP collection of software, i.e., codebase, described here has been developed and is currently maintained by three organizations - Oxford ...
• (2012-01-23)
Our goal is to build robots that can robustly interact with humans using natural language. This problem is extremely challenging because human language is filled with ambiguity, and furthermore, the robot's model of the ...
• (2007-08-06)
We present a secure service prototype built from untrusted,contributed code.The service manages private data for a variety of different users, anduser programs frequently require access to other users' private data.However, ...
• (2007-11-01)
Choosing features for the critic in actor-critic algorithms with function approximation is known to be a challenge. Too few critic features can lead to degeneracy of the actor gradient, and too many features may lead to ...
• (2005-11-01)
Prior analyses of the benefits of routing overlays are based onplatforms consisting of nodes located primarily in North America, onthe academic Internet, and at the edge of the network. This paper isthe first global study ...
• (2005-10-18)
Previous studies have shown that dyslexic individuals who supplement windowed reading practice with intensive small-scale hand-eye coordination tasks exhibit marked improvement in their reading skills. Here we examine ...
• (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 ...
• (2013-03-27)
A deterministic method for sequential estimation of 3-D rotations is presented. The Bingham distribution is used to represent uncertainty directly on the unit quaternion hypersphere. Quaternions avoid the degeneracies of ...
• (2007-02-23)
Opportunistic routing is a recent technique that achieves high throughput in the face of lossy wireless links. The current opportunistic routing protocol, ExOR, ties the MAC with routing, imposing a strict schedule on ...
• (2011-08-06)
This thesis analyzes and discusses the effectiveness of social efforts to achieve collective action amongst Internet network operators in order to manage the growth of the Internet routing table. The size and rate of growth ...
• (2008-06-24)
We propose a novel nonparametric Bayesian model, Dual Hierarchical Dirichlet Processes (Dual-HDP), for trajectory analysis and semantic region modeling in surveillance settings, in an unsupervised way. In our approach, ...
• (2008-08-07)
In ranking, one is given examples of order relationships among objects, and the goal is to learn from these examples a real-valued ranking function that induces a ranking or ordering over the object space. We consider the ...
• (2007-11-06)
When a series of problems are related, representations derived fromlearning earlier tasks may be useful in solving later problems. Inthis paper we propose a novel approach to transfer learning withlow-dimensional, non-linear ...
• (2008-03-03)
To learn a new visual category from few examples, prior knowledge from unlabeled data as well as previous related categories may be useful.  We develop a new method for transfer learning which exploits available unlabeled ...
