    • Flash Photography Enhancement via Intrinsic Relighting 

      Eisemann, Elmar; Durand, Frédo (2005-01)
      We enhance photographs shot in dark environments by combining a picture taken with the available light and one taken with the flash. We preserve the ambiance of the original lighting and insert the sharpness from the flash ...
    • Free Probability, Sample Covariance Matrices and Stochastic Eigen-Inference 

      Edelman, Alan; Rao, N. Raj (2006-01)
      Random matrix theory is now a big subject with applications in many disciplines of science, engineering and finance. This talk is a survey specifically oriented towards the needs and interests of a computationally inclined ...
    • Global Comparison Aggregation Services 

      Zhu, Hongwei; Madnick, Stuart E.; Siegel, Michael D. (2003-01)
      Web aggregation has been available regionally for several years, but this service has not been offered globally. As an example, using multiple regional comparison aggregators, we analyze the global prices for a Sony ...
    • Global Data Computation in a Dedicated Chordal Ring 

      Wang, Xianbing; Teo, Yong Meng (2006-01)
      Existing Global Data Computation (GDC) protocols for asynchronous systems are designed for fully connected networks. In this paper, we discuss GDC in a dedicated asynchronous chordal ring, a type of un-fully connected ...
    • Hardware Transactional Memory 

      Lie, Sean; Asanovic, Krste; Kuszmaul, Bradley C.; Leiserson, Charles E. (2004-01)
      This work shows how hardware transactional memory (HTM) can be implemented to support transactions of arbitrarily large size, while ensuring that small transactions run efficiently. Our implementation handles small ...
    • Hierarchical Multi-Bottleneck Classification Method And Its Application to DNA Microarray Expression Data 

      Xiong, Xuejian; Wong, Weng Fai; Hsu, Wen Jing (2003-01)
      The recent development of DNA microarray technology is creating a wealth of gene expression data. Typically these datasets have high dimensionality and a lot of varieties. Analysis of DNA microarray expression data is a ...
    • How to Do a Million Watchpoints: Efficient Debugging Using Dynamic Instrumentation 

      Zhao, Qin; Amarasinghe, Saman P.; Rabbah, Rodric M.; Rudolph, Larry; Wong, Weng Fai (2007-01)
      Application debugging is a tedious but inevitable chore in any software development project. An effective debugger can make programmers more productive by allowing them to pause execution and inspect the state of the ...
    • Imitation Learning of Whole-Body Grasps 

      Hsiao, Kaijen; Lozano-Pérez, Tomás (2006-01)
      Humans often learn to manipulate objects by observing other people. In much the same way, robots can use imitation learning to pick up useful skills. A system is detailed here for using imitation learning to teach a robot ...
    • Improving Data Quality Through Effective Use of Data Semantics 

      Madnick, Stuart E. (2004-01)
      Data quality issues have taken on increasing importance in recent years. In our research, we have discovered that many “data quality” problems are actually “data misinterpretation” problems – that is, problems with data ...
    • Increasing and Detecting Memory Address Congruence 

      Larsen, Samuel; Witchel, Emmett; Amarasinghe, Saman P. (2003-01)
      A static memory reference exhibits a unique property when its dynamic memory addresses are congruent with respect to some non-trivial modulus. Extraction of this congruence information at compile-time enables new classes ...
    • Incremental Verification of Timing Constraints for Real-Time Systems 

      Andrei, Å tefan; Chin, Wei Ngan; Rinard, Martin C. (2005-01)
      Testing constraints for real-time systems are usually verified through the satisfiability of propositional formulae. In this paper, we propose an alternative where the verification of timing constraints can be done by ...
    • The Interplay of Web Aggregation and Regulation 

      Zhu, Hongwei; Madnick, Stuart E.; Siegel, Michael D. (2003-01)
      The development of web technology has led to the emergence of web aggregation, a service that collects existing web data and turns them into more useful information. We review the development of both comparison and ...
    • An Interpolative Analytical Cache Model with Application to Performance-Power Design Space Exploration 

      Peng, Bing; Wong, Weng Fai; Tay, Yong Chiang (2005-01)
      Caches are known to consume up to half of all system power in embedded processors. Co-optimizing performance and power of the cache subsystems is therefore an important step in the design of embedded systems, especially ...
    • Keyword Join: Realizing Keyword Search for Information Integration 

      Yu, Bei; Liu, Ling; Ooi, Beng Chin; Tan, Kian Lee (2006-01)
      Information integration has been widely addressed over the last several decades. However, it is far from solved due to the complexity of resolving schema and data heterogeneities. In this paper, we propose out attempt to ...
    • Keyword Join: Realizing Keyword Search in P2P-based Database Systems 

      Yu, Bei; Liu, Ling; Ooi, Beng Chin; Tan, Kian Lee (2005-01)
      In this paper, we present a P2P-based database sharing system that provides information sharing capabilities through keyword-based search techniques. Our system requires neither a global schema nor schema mappings between ...

      Ross, Michael G.; Kaelbling, Leslie P. (2004-01)
      This paper describes the initial results of a project to create a self-supervised algorithm for learning object segmentation from video data. Developmental psychology and computational experience have demonstrated that the ...
    • Learning object boundary detection from motion data 

      Ross, Michael G.; Kaelbling, Leslie P. (2003-01)
      A significant barrier to applying the techniques of machine learning to the domain of object boundary detection is the need to obtain a large database of correctly labeled examples. Inspired by developmental psychology, ...
