Reasoning with probabilistic models is a widespread andsuccessful technique in areas ranging from computer vision, to naturallanguage processing, to bioinformatics. Currently, these reasoningsystems are either coded from ...

This technical report describes Team MIT’s approach to theDARPA Urban Challenge. We have developed a novel strategy forusing many inexpensive sensors, mounted on the vehicle periphery,and calibrated with a new cross-­modal ...

We present a new technique for determining how much information abouta program's secret inputs is revealed by its public outputs. Incontrast to previous techniques based on reachability from secretinputs (tainting), it ...

Table 1 (Supplemental): Summary of recurrent expression programs (EPs) discovered by GeneProgram. The columns are: (1) the EP identifier (an arbitrarily assigned number), (2) the number of genes in the EP, (3) the number ...

Table 2 (Supplemental): Complete data for all 100 recurrent expression programs (EPs) discovered by GeneProgram. Each EP has two identifying rows, a list of meta-genes, and a list of significantly enriched GO categories. ...

Principles for Engineered EmergenceIt is difficult to establish engineering control over the behavior ofaggregates of unreliable devices with complicated interactionpatterns. I take a linguistic view of this problem, ...

This paper traces the genesis of the MIT OpenCourseWare project from its initial strategic precursors in 1999 and 2000, through its launch in 2001 and its subsequent evolution. The story told here illuminates the interplay ...

Human environments present special challenges for robot manipulation. They are often dynamic, difficult to predict, and beyond the control of a robot engineer. Fortunately, many characteristics of these settings can be ...

Human intelligence is a product of cooperation among many different specialists. Much of this cooperation must be learned, but we do not yet have a mechanism that explains how this might happen for the "high-level" agile ...

The traditional contract between the network and the lower layers states that the network does routing and the lower layers deliver correct packets. In a wireless network, however, different nodes may hear most bits in a ...
