    • The computational magic of the ventral stream: sketch of a theory (and why some deep architectures work). 

      Poggio, Tomaso; Mutch, Jim; Leibo, Joel; Rosasco, Lorenzo; Tacchetti, Andrea (2012-12-29)
      This paper explores the theoretical consequences of a simple assumption: the computational goal of the feedforward path in the ventral stream -- from V1, V2, V4 and to IT -- is to discount image transformations, after ...

    • 5D Covariance Tracing for Efficient Defocus and Motion Blur 

      Belcour, Laurent; Soler, Cyril; Subr, Kartic; Holzschuch, Nicolas; Durand, Fredo (2012-11-16)
      The rendering of effects such as motion blur and depth-of-field requires costly 5D integrals. We dramatically accelerate their computation through adaptive sampling and reconstruction based on the prediction of the anisotropy ...

    • Monitoring the Execution of Temporal Plans for Robotic Systems 

      Levine, Steven J. (2012-10-04)
      To achieve robustness in dynamic and uncertain environments, robotic systems must monitor the progress of their plans during execution. This thesis develops a plan executive called Pike that is capable of executing and ...
