  • Energy Scalability of On-Chip Interconnection Networks in Multicore Architectures 
    Agarwal, Anant; Psota, James; Eastep, Jonathan; Konstantakopoulos, Theodoros (2008-11-11)
    On-chip interconnection networks (OCNs) such as point-to-point networks and buses form the communication backbone in systems-on-a-chip, multicore processors, and tiled processors. OCNs can consume significant portions of ...
  • Enhanced Reality Visualization in a Surgical Environment 
    Mellor, J.P. (1995-01-01)
    Enhanced reality visualization is the process of enhancing an image by adding to it information which is not present in the original image. A wide variety of information can be added to an image ranging from hidden ...
  • Enhanced Visual Authoring Using Operation History 
    Su, Sara L. (2009-06-24)
    Graphical editors have introduced great flexibility to the designer's workflow, providing powerful digital tools and enabling the creation of complex and compelling designs. This thesis presents methods for improving these ...
  • Enhancing Availability and Security Through Failure-Oblivious Computing 
    Rinard, Martin; Cadar, Cristian; Dumitran, Daniel; Roy, Daniel M.; Jr., William S. Beebee (2004-02-06)
    We present a new technique, failure-oblivious computing,that enables programs to continue to execute through memoryerrors without memory corruption. Our safe compilerfor C inserts checks that dynamically detect invalid ...
  • Enhancing the Dexterity of a Robot Hand Using Controlled Slip 
    Brock, David L. (1987-05-01)
    Humans can effortlessly manipulate objects in their hands, dexterously sliding and twisting them within their grasp. Robots, however, have none of these capabilities, they simply grasp objects rigidly in their end ...
  • EpiChord: Parallelizing the Chord Lookup Algorithm with Reactive Routing State Management 
    Leong, Ben; Liskov, Barbara; Demaine, Erik D. (2004-08-13)
    EpiChord is a DHT lookup algorithm that demonstrates that we canremove the O(log n)-state-per-node restriction on existing DHTtopologies to achieve significantly better lookup performance andresilience using a novel reactive ...
  • Epistemic Implementation and The Arbitrary-Belief Auction 
    Chen, Jing; Micali, Silvio; Pass, Rafael (2012-06-22)
    In settings of incomplete information we put forward an epistemic framework for designing mechanisms that successfully leverage the players' arbitrary higher-order beliefs, even when such beliefs are totally wrong, and ...
  • Equation Counting and the Interpretation of Sensory Data 
    Richards, W.A.; Rubin, J.M.; Hoffman, D.D. (1981-06-01)
    Many problems in biological information processing require the solution to a complex system of equations in many unknown variables. An equation-counting procedure is described for determining whether such a system of ...
  • Equivalence and Reduction of Hidden Markov Models 
    Balasubramanian, Vijay (1993-01-01)
    This report studies when and why two Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) may represent the same stochastic process. HMMs are characterized in terms of equivalence classes whose elements represent identical stochastic processes. ...
  • An Equivalence Between Sparse Approximation and Support Vector Machines 
    Girosi, Federico (1997-05-01)
    In the first part of this paper we show a similarity between the principle of Structural Risk Minimization Principle (SRM) (Vapnik, 1982) and the idea of Sparse Approximation, as defined in (Chen, Donoho and Saunders, ...
  • Equivalence Problems in a Model of Computation 
    Paterson, Michael Stewart (1967-08-01)
    A central problem in the mathematical teory of computers and computation is to find a suitable framework for expressing the ececution of a computer program by a computer. Within the framework we want to be alble to provide ...
  • Error Detection and Recovery for Robot Motion Planning with Uncertainty 
    Donald, Bruce Randall (1987-07-01)
    Robots must plan and execute tasks in the presence of uncertainty. Uncertainty arises from sensing errors, control errors, and uncertainty in the geometry of the environment. The last, which is called model error, has ...
  • Error weighted classifier combination for multi-modal human identification 
    Ivanov, Yuri; Serre, Thomas; Bouvrie, Jacob (2005-12-14)
    In this paper we describe a technique of classifier combination used in a human identification system. The system integrates all available features from multi-modal sources within a Bayesian framework. The framework allows ...
  • The Essential Dynamics Algorithm: Essential Results 
    Martin, Martin C. (2003-05-01)
    This paper presents a novel algorithm for learning in a class of stochastic Markov decision processes (MDPs) with continuous state and action spaces that trades speed for accuracy. A transform of the stochastic MDP ...
  • Estimating Dependency Structure as a Hidden Variable 
    Meila, Marina; Jordan, Michael I.; Morris, Quaid (1998-09-01)
    This paper introduces a probability model, the mixture of trees that can account for sparse, dynamically changing dependence relationships. We present a family of efficient algorithms that use EM and the Minimum Spanning ...

  • Estimating Stereo Disparities 
    Minsky, Marvin (1967-02-01)
    An interesting practical and theoretical problem is putting bounds on how much computation one needs to find the stereo-disparity between two narrow-angle stereo scenes. By narrow angle I mean situations wherein the angle ...

    Lee, Hsien-Che (1988-08-01)
    \0\05{\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0 a uniform wall illuminated by a spot light often gives a strong impression of the illuminant color. How can it be possible to know if it is a white wall illuminated by yellow light or a yellow ...
  • Estimation of Discontinuous Displacement Vector Fields with the Minimum Description Length Criterion 
    Dengler, Joachim (1990-10-01)
    A new noniterative approach to determine displacement vector fields with discontinuities is described. In order to overcome the limitations of current methods, the problem is regarded as a general modelling problem. ...
