Few-shot text classification with distributional signatures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)We explore meta-learning for few-shot text classification. Meta-learning has shown strong performance in computer vision, where low-level patterns are transferable across learning tasks. However, directly applying this ... -
Fiber drawing : beyond the scaling paradigm
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)The emergence of multimaterial fibers that combine a multiplicity of solid materials with disparate electrical, optical, and mechanical properties into a single fiber presents new opportunities for extending fiber applications. ... -
Fiber inspired neural probes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Limitations in the currently available technology for neural probes impede our progress towards a comprehensive brain activity map. The lack of understanding the brain function leads to limited options for the treatment ... -
Fiber optic integration in planar ion traps
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Atomic ion traps are are excellent tools in atomic physics for studying single ions. Accurate measurement of the ion's electronic state in these ion traps is required by both atomic clocks and quantum computation. Quantum ... -
Fiber reinforced polymer bridge deck panels
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001) -
Fiber spinning and rheology of liquid-crystalline polymers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994) -
Fiber to waveguide couplers for silicon photonics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)As silicon photonics enters mainstream technology, we find ourselves in need of methods to seamlessly transfer light between the optical fibers of global scale telecommunications networks and the on-chip waveguides used ... -
Fibers and Fragments: Weaving local resources into the Arabian Gulf's modern material culture.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-02)Considering the constraints of using solely local materials of the Arabian Gulf, this thesis explores two components that constitute a future construction practice: concrete in compression (mined from demolition sites) and ... -
Fibronectin domain engineering
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Molecular recognition reagents are a critical component of targeted therapeutics, in vivo and in vitro diagnostics, and biotechnology applications such as purification, detection, and crystallization. Antibodies have served ... -
Fibronectin splice isoforms in wound healing and vascular development
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)Fibronectins are a large family of extracellular matrix proteins that regulate cell adhesion, migration, differentiation and survival. Different isoforms of fibronectin arise via alternative splicing of the transcript of ... -
Fibrous Membranes in Personal Protective Applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-06)Personal protective equipment (PPE) is a collection of devices and garments that protect the wearer from hazards and threats. An important type of PPE is respiratory protection devices that reduce the exposure of the ... -
Fibrous tectonics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)The inherent possibilities of composites present an exciting frontier in architecture that has remained largely untapped. In light of the current computational capacities and new digital tools in manufacturing, composites ... -
Fidelity of flight control systems in a real-time optimal trajectory planner
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1991) -
Field and current induced magnetization reversal in patterned Pseudo Spin Valve devices
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The field and current induced magnetization switchings of Pseudo-Spin-Valve (PSV) devices are described in this dissertation. An aligned sequence of three (one optical and two electron-beam) lithographies was used to define ... -
Field and laboratory observations of small-scale dispersion in wetlands
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Estimating longitudinal dispersion in wetlands is a necessary first step in predicting the behavior of dissolved species and suspended particles. However, many processes are involved, and they can interact in nonlinear ... -
Field and laboratory studies of the mechanics of faulting
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1981) -
Field conditions : the stadium, the city, and the masses
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)The past 30 years has seen the emergence of two seemingly unrelated problems: The first problem is the underperformance and looming demolition of Boston City Hall and the unavoidable commercial development of its plaza. ... -
Field container as a regional strategy for revitalizing the Los Angeles River
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)This thesis is the study of the Los Angeles River as a multi-layered field with urban condensers that revitalize the river, connect and revitalize the municipal districts bordering the river, and restructure the region to ... -
Field crossings : hybridizing the urban park
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)The growth and identity of urban open space is a vital issue facing our cities today. The development and revitalization of old industrial centers in the United States has prompted urban transformations in usage, densification ... -
Field deployable dynamic lighting system for turbid water imaging
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The ocean depths provide an ever changing and complex imaging environment. As scientists and researches strive to document and study more remote and optically challenging areas, specifically scatter-limited environments. ...
