From random walks to distances on unweighted graphs
(Neural Information Processing Systems Foundation, Inc., 2015-12)Large unweighted directed graphs are commonly used to capture relations between entities. A fundamental problem in the analysis of such networks is to properly define the similarity or dissimilarity between any two vertices. ... -
From recognition to representation : collective rights and democratic citizenship in the Philippines
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)How does the recognition of self-determination rights for indigenous and tribal communities affect governance in modern democratic states? Nearly half of UN member states recognize indigenous groups in their constitutions, ... -
From reconfigurable architectures to self-adaptive autonomic systems
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2009-10)Systems on a chip (SoC) can draw various benefits such as adaptability and efficient acceleration of compute-intensive tasks from the inclusion of reconfigurable hardware as a system component. Dynamic reconfiguration ... -
From regional pulse vaccination to global disease eradication: insights from a mathematical model of poliomyelitis
(Springer-Verlag, 2014-07)Mass-vaccination campaigns are an important strategy in the global fight against poliomyelitis and measles. The large-scale logistics required for these mass immunisation campaigns magnifies the need for research into the ... -
From Regression to Classification in Support Vector Machines
(1998-11-01)We study the relation between support vector machines (SVMs) for regression (SVMR) and SVM for classification (SVMC). We show that for a given SVMC solution there exists a SVMR solution which is equivalent for a certain ... -
From remnants of landscapes past
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1983)This thesis is an exploration into a remnant of a past landscape. This landscape is located on a four acre farm in Woburn, Massachusetts. The study begins with a look at the history of the land, followed by the documentation ... -
From representation to recognition : MEG studies of face perception
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Face recognition is one of the most important problems our visual system must solve. Here I used magnetoencephalography (MEG) in an effort to characterize the sequence of cognitive and neural processes underlying this ... -
From Research to Reality: Making COSYSMO a Trusted Estimation Tool in Your Organization
(2007-06-24)As the COSYSMO model transitions from the development phase into the adoption phase, industry stakeholders are beginning to embrace the model and integrate it into their existing measurement processes. To date, much of ... -
From research to resource piloting near-Earth asteroids Through the Valley of Death
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)Can the resources of near-Earth asteroids be profitably mined? Near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) contain water, which can serve as a fuel in space, and platinum group metals, which are valuable on Earth. The presence of these ... -
From roots to routes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Over the past two decades, more than 200 million people in China moved from rural to urban areas. These migrants fled the countryside, which is regarded as an economic wasteland in perpetual stagnation that is locked by ... -
From Rural Ground to Rural Grocery: Designing a local food value chain
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-02)Present-day food systems in the U.S. are fraught with challenges that have spillover effects ranging from economic hardship of agricultural communities, inequitable access to nutritional foods, asymmetrical distribution ... -
From science to policy : the science-related politics of climate change policy in the U.S.
(MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 1999-01)Global climate change is on the political agenda primarily as a result of science and the warnings of the scientific community, and is commonly seen as a quintessentially scientific matter. However, the development of ... -
From scientific framing to architectural reconstruction : the creation of an ideal image at Didyma
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996)The incomplete Temple of Didyma appeared in modern times as a constructed image, as an affirmation of the representative Greek temple. By the turn of the century the remains of the classical Didyma were rediscovered, the ... -
From seed to sale
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)The history of cultivating cannabis can be traced back to at least the 3rd millennium BCE, as evidence suggests it was consumed for psychoactive effects at least 2,500 years ago in the Pamir Mountains in central Asia. ... -
From Selective to Adaptive Security in Functional Encryption
(Springer Nature, 2015)© International Association for Cryptologic Research 2015. In a functional encryption (FE) scheme, the owner of the secret key can generate restricted decryption keys that allow users to learn specific functions of the ... -
From self-assembly to communications via machine washable fibers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Fibers and fabrics are among the earliest forms of human expression, and yet they have not progressed much from a functional standpoint over the course of history. Recently, a new family of fibers composed of conductors, ... -
From Semi-Orthogonal Decompositions to Polarized Intermediate Jacobians Via Jacobians of Noncommutative Motives
(Independent University of Moscow, 2016-03)Let X and Y be complex smooth projective varieties, and D[superscript b](X) and D[superscript b](Y) the associated bounded derived categories of coherent sheaves. Assume the existence of a triangulated category T which is ... -
From Sensor to Processing Networks: Optimal Estimation with Computation and Communication Latency
(Elsevier BV, 2020)This paper investigates the use of a networked system (e.g., swarm of robots, smart grid, sensor network) to monitor a time-varying phenomenon of interest in the presence of communication and computation latency. Recent ... -

From Sensory Signals to Modality-Independent Conceptual Representations: A Probabilistic Language of Thought Approach
(Public Library of Science, 2015-11)People learn modality-independent, conceptual representations from modality-specific sensory signals. Here, we hypothesize that any system that accomplishes this feat will include three components: a representational ...
