Expressions for the generating function of the Donaldson invariants for CP²
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The Donaldson invariants for CP2 were obtained as the u-plane integral from a N = 2 supersymmetric topological U(1)-gauge theory by Moore and Witten. We derive the generating function for the Donaldson invariants of CP2 ... -
Expressive digital musical instruments for children
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)This thesis proposes to use technology to introduce children to musical expressivity and creativity. It describes a set of digital musical instruments that were developed in an effort to provide children with new tools for ... -
Expressive mathematics : learning by design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998) -
Expressive query construction through direct manipulation of nested relational results
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Despite extensive research on visual query systems, the standard way to interact with relational databases remains to be through SQL queries and tailored form interfaces. This makes the power of relational databases largely ... -
Expressive re-performance
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Many music enthusiasts abandon music studies because they are frustrated by the amount of time and effort it takes to learn to play interesting songs. There are two major components to performance: the technical requirement ... -
Expressive typography : high quality dynamic and responsive typography in the electronic environment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1990) -
Expressivity and Structure in Networks: Ising Models, Random Graphs, and Neural Networks.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-02)Networks are used ubiquitously to model global phenomena which emerge due to interactions between multiple agents and are among the objects of fundamental interest in machine learning. The purpose of this dissertation is ... -
Expresso-AI : a framework for explainable video based deep learning models through gestures and expressions
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)We have developed a framework for Analyzing Facial Videos and applying it to Automatic Depression Detection. We also developed a video based models We have developed a framework to analyze the decisions of Deep Neural ... -
Expressways and urban shorelines : considerations for their visual design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1962) -
Exquisite corpse: a tower for the public in the era of exhausted modernity
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Towers in Manhattan, especially in business areas, have historically used a single overarching system in order to visualize images of their corporate identity and immerse the public in the image of development. While using ... -
Exquisite Corpses : an architectural mystery
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)In 1937, writing about the parallels between mystery fiction and urban dwelling, Walter Benjamin wrote, ""in times of terror, when everyone is something of a conspirator, everybody will be in the position of having to play ... -
Exquisite Score : a system for collaborative musical composition
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Exquisite Score is a web application which allows users to collaborate on short musical compositions using the paradigm of the parlor game Exquisite Corpse. Through a MIDI-sequencer interface, composers each contribute a ... -
Extendable housing in Dracut, Massachusetts (or the bedroom that came in from the porch).
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1977) -
Extendable robot inspired By plant growth
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)A novel design of extendable robotic arm inspired by plant growth is presented. The robot can construct its own body structure by converting a type of fluidized material into a rigid structure at its growing point. It ... -
An extended analysis of the multiple model adaptive control algorithm
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1980) -
An extended analytic range corrector method for the space shuttle entry guidance algorithm
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Space shuttle entry guidance with an extended analytic range corrector method is presented. The guidance method is a variation of Shuttle entry guidance in which the parameters that define the drag profile are modified ... -
Extended discrete choice models : integrated framework, flexible error structures, and latent variables
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)Discrete choice methods model a decision-maker's choice among a set of mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive alternatives. They are used in a variety of disciplines (transportation, economics, psychology, public ... -
