Cabernet: A Content Delivery Network for Moving Vehicles
(2008-01-17)
This paper describes the design, implementation, and evaluation of Cabernet, a system to deliver data to and from moving vehicles using open 802.11 (WiFi) access points encountered opportunistically during travel. Network ...
Exploiting Transport-Level Characteristics of Spam
(2008-02-15)
In the arms race to secure electronic mail users and servers fromunsolicited messages (spam), the most successful solutions employtechniques that are difficult for spammers to circumvent. Thisresearch investigates the ...
Automatic Class-Specific 3D Reconstruction from a Single Image
(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 ...
Overcoming the Antennas-Per-Node Throughput Limit in MIMO LANs
(2009-02-18)
Today, the number of concurrent packets in a MIMO LAN is limited by the number of antennas on the AP. This paper shows how to overcome this limit. It presents a new design where multiple client-AP pairs can communicate ...
Oblivious Routing in On-Chip Bandwidth-Adaptive Networks
(2009-03-27)
Oblivious routing can be implemented on simple router hardware, but network performance suffers when routes become congested. Adaptive routing attempts to avoid hot spots by re-routing flows, but requires more complex ...
Sparse recovery using sparse matrices
(2008-01-10)
We consider the approximate sparse recovery problem, where the goal is to (approximately) recover a high-dimensional vector x from its lower-dimensional sketch Ax. A popular way of performing this recovery is by finding ...
Trajectory Analysis and Semantic Region Modeling Using A Nonparametric Bayesian Model
(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, ...
LIBPMK: A Pyramid Match Toolkit
(2008-04-07)
LIBPMK is a C++ implementation of Grauman and Darrell's pyramid match algorithm. This toolkit provides a flexible framework with which developers can quickly match sets of image features and run experiments. LIBPMK provides ...
Report on the Probabilistic Language Scheme
(2007-10-22)
Reasoning with probabilistic models is a widespread andsuccessful technique in areas ranging from computer vision, to naturallanguage processing, to bioinformatics. Currently, these reasoningsystems are either coded from ...
Team MIT Urban Challenge Technical Report
(2007-12-14)
This technical report describes Team MITs approach to theDARPA Urban Challenge. We have developed a novel strategy forusing many inexpensive sensors, mounted on the vehicle periphery,and calibrated with a new cross-modal ...
