Feature selection and dimensionality reduction for supervised data analysis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016) -
A feature-based approach to continuous-gesture analysis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994) -
Feature-based design of solids with local composition control
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)This thesis presents a parametric and feature-based methodology for the design of solids with local composition control (LCC). A suite of composition design features are conceptualized and implemented. The designer can use ... -
Feature-based investment cost estimation based on modular design of a continuous pharmaceutical manufacturing system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Previous studies of continuous manufacturing processes have used equipment-factored cost estimation methods to predict savings in initial plant investment costs. In order to challenge and validate the existing methods of ... -
Feature-based methods for large scale dynamic programming
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995) -
Feature-based pronunciation modeling for automatic speech recognition
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Spoken language, especially conversational speech, is characterized by great variability in word pronunciation, including many variants that differ grossly from dictionary prototypes. This is one factor in the poor performance ... -
Feature-relative real-time obstacle avoidance and mapping
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)A substantial challenge in robotics is integration of complex software systems for real- time performance. This thesis integrates the robust and generic mapping framework Atlas, a feature-based local Simultaneous Localization ... -
A feature-to-wafer-scale model of etch-rate non-uniformity in deep reactive ion etching/
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Deep Reactive Ion Etching (DRIE) is an inherently complex dry etching process commonly used in the semiconductor manufacturing industry. This work presents a new modeling approach to capture global etch rate variation in ... -
Features and Applications of Random Unitaries
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-02)Random unitary model plays essential roles in the study of many-body quantum systems, and have many applications in the field of quantum information. In this thesis we will explore some features and applications of this ... -
Features of nonlinear wave-wave and wave-body interactions
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)Although nonlinear water waves have been the subject of decades of research, there are many problems that remain unsolved, especially in the cases when one or more of the following factors are involved: high-order nonlinear ... -

Federal mandates and mortgage supply : regression discontinuity analyses of the community reinvestment and GSE Acts.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)In this dissertation, I provide evidence of the causal impact on mortgage supply of the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) and the "Government-Sponsored Enterprises (GSE) Act", laws requiring banks and the GSEs (Fannie Mae ... -
Federal policy towards emergency responder interoperability : a path forward
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Emergency responders have suffered from a lack of cross-agency radio communications for the past three decades. After numerous firefighters died in the terrorist attacks of September 11, partially due to a lack of ... -
Federal sponsorship of university research
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1963) -
Federated Learning for Resource Constrained Devices
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-05)As resource constrained edge devices become increasingly more powerful, they are able to provide a larger quantity of higher quality data. However, as these devices are decentralized, it becomes difficult to gain insights ...
