A hierarchical feature representation for phonetic classification dc by Raymond Y.T. Chun.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996) -
A hierarchical framework for constructing computationally efficient algorithms for distributed inference problems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)In this thesis, we present a methodology for designing computationally efficient algorithms for large-scale inference systems on system architectures with distributed autonomous agents. The principle of information-based ... -
Hierarchical Gaussian models for wind field estimation and path planning
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Improvements in technology, autonomy, and positioning mechanisms have greatly broadened the range of application of unmanned aerial vehicles. These vehicles are now being used in aerial photography, package delivery, ... -
Hierarchical integration of planning and control.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1975) -
Hierarchical layered-silicate-- lamellar triblock copolymer nanocomposites
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)The fundamental role of the layered-silicates in a styrene-butadiene-styrene triblock copolymer (SBS) as a function of layered-silicate dispersion during deformation was investigated. Predominantly immiscible composites ... -
Hierarchical learning : theory with applications in speech and vision
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Over the past two decades several hierarchical learning models have been developed and applied to a diverse range of practical tasks with much success. Little is known, however, as to why such models work as well as they ... -
A hierarchical Markov chain based solver for very-large-scale capacitance extraction
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)This thesis presents two hierarchical algorithms, FastMarkov and FD-MTM, for computing the capacitance of very-large-scale layout with non-uniform media. Fast- Markov is Boundary Element Method based and FD-MTM is Finite ... -
Hierarchical mechanics of functional amyloid protein based materials
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Amyloid and amyloid-like proteins are a broad class of misfolded protein structures known for their their roles in a variety of neurodegenerative diseases, but also for their impressive mechanical properties and their ... -
A hierarchical model for integration of narrowband cues in speech
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001) -
Hierarchical modeling for reliability analysis using Markov models
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994) -
Hierarchical modeling of structure and mechanics of cement hydrate
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)With an annual production of more than 20 billion tons a year, concrete continues to be the world's dominating manufacturing material for a foreseeable future. However, this ubiquity comes with a large ecological price as ... -
Hierarchical music structure analysis, modeling and resynthesis : a dynamical systems and signal processing approach
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The problem of creating generative music systems has been approached in different ways, each guided by different goals, aesthetics, beliefs and biases. These generative systems can be divided into two categories: the first ... -
Hierarchical neural control of human postural balance and bipedal walking in sagittal plane
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The cerebrocerebellar system has been known to be a central part in human motion control and execution. However, engineering descriptions of the system, especially in relation to lower body motion, have been very limited. ... -
Hierarchical planning and scheduling of looping a activities for robotic scouts
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)A wide range of robotic missions contain activities that exhibit looping behaviour. Examples of these activities include picking fruit in agriculture, pick-and-place tasks in manufacturing, or even search patterns in robotic ... -
Hierarchical planning for multi-contact non-prehensile manipulation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Manipulation planning involves planning the combined motion of objects in the environment as well as the robot motions to achieve them. Ideally, we would like to be able to plan prehensile and non-prehensile manipulation ... -
Hierarchical production planning.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1979) -
A hierarchical proof of an algorithm for deadlock recovery in a system using remote procedure calls
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1990) -
Hierarchical reasoning in the brain
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-09)When we interact in an uncertain environment, we continuously reason to disambiguate internal and external sources of uncertainty at multiple spatiotemporal scales to guide our goal-directed behavior. Understanding the ... -
Hierarchical selective electrokinetic concentration : the universal next-generation biomolecule enrichment technique for molecular diagnostics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)Rapid and reliable detection of ultralow-abundance nucleic acids and proteins in complex biological media may greatly advance clinical diagnostics and biotechnology development. Because of the slow mass transport and weak ... -
