  • Robust atlas-based segmentation of highly variable anatomy: left atrium segmentation 
    Depa, Michal; Sabuncu, Mert R.; Holmvang, Godtfred; Nezafat, Reza; Schmidt, Ehud J.; Golland, Polina (Springer, 2010-01)
    Automatic segmentation of the heart’s left atrium offers great benefits for planning and outcome evaluation of atrial ablation procedures. However, the high anatomical variability of the left atrium presents significant ...
  • Robust comparative statics in large static games 
    Acemoglu, Daron; Jensen, Martin Kaae (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2010-12)
    We provide general comparative static results for large finite and infinite-dimensional aggregative games. In aggregative games, each player's payoff depends on her own actions and an aggregate of the actions of all the ...
  • Robust confidence sets in the presence of weak instruments 
    Mikusheva, Anna (Elsevier, 2010-01)
    This paper considers instrumental variable regression with a single endogenous variable and the potential presence of weak instruments. I construct confidence sets for the coefficient on the single endogenous regressor by ...
  • Robust cross-race gene expression analysis 
    Ramoni, Marco F.; Chang, Hsun-Hsien (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2009-01)
    This paper develops a Bayesian network (BN) predictor to profile cross-race gene expression data. Cross-race studies face more data variability than single-lab studies. Our design handles this problem by using the BN ...
  • Robust Decoupling Techniques to Extend Quantum Coherence in Diamond 
    Ryan, Colm A.; Hodges, J. S.; Cory, David G. (American Physical Society, 2010-11)
    We experimentally demonstrate over 2 orders of magnitude increase in the room-temperature coherence time of nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond by implementing decoupling techniques. We show that equal pulse spacing ...
  • Robust feature selection in resting-state fMRI connectivity based on population studies 
    Venkataraman, Archana; Kubicki, Marek; Westin, Carl-Fredrik; Golland, Polina (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010-06)
    We propose an alternative to univariate statistics for identifying population differences in functional connectivity. Our feature selection method is based on a procedure that searches across subsets of the data to isolate ...
  • Robust grasping under object pose uncertainty 
    Hsiao, Kaijen; Kaelbling, Leslie P.; Lozano-Perez, Tomas (Springer-Verlag, 2011-07)
    This paper presents a decision-theoretic approach to problems that require accurate placement of a robot relative to an object of known shape, such as grasping for assembly or tool use. The decision process is applied to ...
  • Robustly Leveraging Collusion in Combinatorial Auctions 
    Chen, Jing; Micali, Silvio; Valiant, Paul (Institute for Theoretical Computer Science, Tsinghua University, 2010-01)
    Because of its devastating effects in auctions and other mechanisms, collusion is prohibited and legally prosecuted. Yet, colluders have always existed, and may continue to exist. We thus raise the following question for ...
  • Robustness of an Effective Diffusivity Diagnostic in Oceanic Flows 
    Hill, Christopher N.; Marshall, John C.; Jones, Helen; Shuckburgh, Emily (American Meteorological Society, 2009-09)
    The robustness of Nakamura’s effective diffusivity diagnostic for quantifying eddy diffusivities of tracers within a streamwise-average framework is carefully examined in an oceanographic context, and the limits of its ...
  • Robustness of Majorana fermion induced fractional Josephson effect in multichannel superconducting wires 
    Lee, Patrick A.; Law, Kam Tuen (American Physical Society, 2011-08)
    It has been shown previously that the coupling between two Majorana end states in single-channel superconducting quantum wires leads to the fractional Josephson effect. However, in realistic experimental conditions, multiple ...
  • Robustness of the Learning with Errors Assumption 
    Goldwasser, Shafi; Kalai, Yael; Peikert, Chris; Vaikuntanathan, Vinod (Tsinghua University Press, 2010-01)
    Starting with the work of Ishai-Sahai-Wagner and Micali-Reyzin, a new goal has been set within the theory of cryptography community, to design cryptographic primitives that are secure against large classes of side-channel ...
  • A robust optimization approach to backup network design with random failures 
    Johnston, Matthew Ryan; Lee, Hyang-Won; Modiano, Eytan H. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2011-06)
    This paper presents a scheme in which a dedicated backup network is designed to provide protection from random link failures. Upon a link failure in the primary network, traffic is rerouted through a preplanned path in the ...
  • Robust optimization of adiabatic tapers for coupling to slow-light photonic-crystal waveguides 
    Oskooi, Ardavan; Mutapcic, Almir; Noda, Susumu; Joannopoulos, John D.; Boyd, Stephen P.; Johnson, Steven G. (Optical Society of America, 2012-09)
    We investigate the design of taper structures for coupling to slow-light modes of various photonic-crystal waveguides while taking into account parameter uncertainties inherent in practical fabrication. Our short-length ...
  • Robust parameter extraction for decision support using multimodal intensive care data 
    Clifford, Gari D.; Long, William J.; Moody, George B.; Szolovits, Peter (The Royal Society, 2008-10)
    Digital information flow within the intensive care unit (ICU) continues to grow, with advances in technology and computational biology. Recent developments in the integration and archiving of these data have resulted in ...
  • Robust Power Allocation Algorithms for Wireless Relay Networks 
    Quek, Tony Q. S.; Win, Moe Z.; Chiani, Marco (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers / IEEE Communications Society, 2010-07)
    Resource allocation promises significant benefits in wireless networks. In order to fully reap these benefits, it is important to design efficient resource allocation algorithms. Here, we develop relay power allocation ...
  • Robust Stochastic Lot-Sizing by Means of Histograms 
    Klabjan, Diego; Simchi-Levi, David; Song, Miao (Wiley Blackwell, 2013-02)
    Traditional approaches in inventory control first estimate the demand distribution among a predefined family of distributions based on data fitting of historical demand observations, and then optimize the inventory control ...
  • Robust yaw stability controller design and hardware-in-the-loop testing for a road vehicle 
    Guvenc, Levent; Guvenc, Bilin Aksun; Karaman, Sertac (2009-02)
    Unsymmetrical loading on a car like mu-split braking, side wind forces, or unilateral loss of tire pressure results in unexpected yaw disturbances that require yaw stabilization either by the driver or by an automatic ...
  • Rock Slopes from Mechanics to Decision Making 
    Einstein, Herbert H.; Sousa, Rita; Karam, K.; Manzella, I.; Kveldsvik, V. (2010-06)
    Rock slope instabilities are discussed in the context of decision making for risk assessment and management. Hence, the state of the slope and possible failure mechanism need to be defined first. This is done with geometrical ...
  • A rodent model for the study of invariant visual object recognition 
    Zoccolan, Davide; DiCarlo, James; Oertelt, Nadja; Cox, David D. (United States National Academy of Sciences, 2009-04)
    The human visual system is able to recognize objects despite tremendous variation in their appearance on the retina resulting from variation in view, size, lighting, etc. This ability—known as “invariant” object recognition—is ...
  • A Role for Calcium-Permeable AMPA Receptors in Synaptic Plasticity and Learning 
    Tonegawa, Susumu; Wiltgen, Brian J.; Royle, Gordon A.; Gray, Erin E.; Abdipranoto, Andrea; Thangthaeng, Nopporn; Jacobs, Nate; Saab, Faysal; Heinemann, Stephen F.; O'Dell, Thomas J.; Fanselow, Michael S.; Vissel, Bryce (Public Library of Science, 2010-09)
    A central concept in the field of learning and memory is that NMDARs are essential for synaptic plasticity and memory formation. Surprisingly then, multiple studies have found that behavioral experience can reduce or ...
