Persons, imposters, and monsters
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)This dissertation is about person features, their representation and interpretation in natural language. I will argue that there are several ways in which person features can be represented and interpreted. Most importantly, ... -
Perspective analysis of important city elements along a path Nicolaos Lycourgos Katochianos.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1964) -
Perspectives for energy service companies

Perspectives for logistics clusters development in Russia
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)This thesis is a normative work aimed at identifying locations in Russia with high, medium and unclear potentials for logistics cluster development. As a framework this work uses four different models of logistics clusters: ... -
Perspectives of the role of the body in the design process : observations from an experiment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)This thesis explores the role of the body in the design process. Its underlying assumptions are that there is bodily thinking in the design process, and that observing what designers draw, tell and do/gesture, can tell us ... -
Perspectives on film distribution in the U.S. : present and future
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)I believe film has the power to transform people's lives and minds and to enlighten today's generation like any other medium. This is why I wanted to write my thesis about film distribution as it will determine the future ... -
Perspectives on Geometry and Optimization: from Measures to Neural Networks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-09)This thesis explores geometrical aspects of matrix completion, interior point methods, unbalanced optimal transport, and neural network training. We use these examples to illustrate four ways in which geometry plays key ... -
Perspectives on technology, race, and African-American employment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1981) -
Perspectives on the revitalization of a downtown mall in Charlottesville, Virginia
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1985) -
Perspectives on the Ridesourcing Revolution : surveying individual attitudes toward Uber and Lyft to inform urban transportation policymaking
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Media coverage of ridesourcing services such as Uber and Lyft has described a rivalry between new technology and the established taxi industry. Individual users and non-users of ridesourcing, however, may have more nuanced ... -
Perspectives on the satellite services industry : analysis of challenges and opportunities in the market, policy and regulatory environments
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)This thesis focuses on Space Communications and combines engineering, economics, market, and policy analyses to identify challenges and opportunities in the industry that are beyond the scope of any one isolated discipline. ... -
PerspectiveSpace
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Words mean different things to different people, and capturing these differences is often a subtle art. These differences are often "a matter of perspective," and perspective can be taken to be the set of beliefs held by ... -
A persuasive GPS-controlled thermostat system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Using 10 weeks of data from a couple living in an instrumented home, we report on the potential of context-aware power management for energy saving. We identify an opportunity to save on heating and cooling using a system ... -
The persuasive public-opinion poll in city-planning
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1959) -
Persuasive robotics : how robots change our minds
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)This thesis explores the extent to which socially capable humanoid robots have the potential to influence human belief, perception and behavior. Sophisticated computational systems coupled with human-like form and function ... -
A persuasive television remote control for the promotion of health and well-being
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)New forms of media technology that enter the home often fundamentally transform the way that people spend their time. In the present day, daily "screen time" with televisions and other entertainment systems continues to ... -
A perturbation model for normal and sickle cell blood microcirculation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Sickle cell disease is a genetic disorder that alters red blood cells such that their hemoglobin cannot effectively bind and release oxygen. This causes issues that affect how the cell operates in the smallest vessels of ... -
Perturbation stability for approximate MAP inference
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)The MAP inference problem in discrete graphical models has found widespread applications in machine learning and statistical physics over the past few decades. However, for many useful model classes, this combinatorial ... -
Perturbation theory and Markovian decision processes.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1965) -
