Learning from Commerce Data: from Theory to Practice
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-09)Enterprises can anticipate substantial benefits from the vast potential of commerce data. However, deploying analytics platforms to extract value from such data poses a significant challenge for many organizations. One ... -
Learning from each other : citizen participatory community design in the United States and Japan, and the role of the architect
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994)This thesis explored principles of community design for future development both in the US. and Japan by examining the organizational structures, levels of participation and processes of community designs. Three cases in ... -
Learning from Experience: An Interactive and Ethical Curriculum for Teaching Reinforcement Learning
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-09)As AI becomes prevalent in society, AI education and AI literacy are also increasingly important fields. Reinforcement learning (RL) plays and will continue to play an intense role in many systems, including online ... -
Learning from few subjects with large amounts of voice monitoring data
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)Recently, researchers have started training high complexity machine learning models for clinical tasks, often improving upon previous benchmarks. However, more often than not, these methods require large amounts of supervision ... -
Learning from Financial Markets and Misallocation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-06)I quantify how information frictions and learning from financial markets affect resource misallocation. I develop a dynamic model that features financial markets guiding managers in large investment decisions – mergers and ... -
Learning from imperfect data in theory and practice
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996) -
Learning from master's muscles : EMG-based bio-feedback tool for augmenting manual fabrication and crafting
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Learning a novel skill is a time consuming process and can be frustrating at times. It may require hours of supervised training before a minimum level of proficiency can even be attained. For example in ceramics, centering ... -
Learning from one example in machine vision by sharing probability densities
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)Human beings exhibit rapid learning when presented with a small number of images of a new object. A person can identify an object under a wide variety of visual conditions after having seen only a single example of that ... -
Learning from other perspectives : design and analysis of an in-place annotation system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)I designed and studied NB, an in-place collaborative document annotation system targeting students reading lecture notes and draft textbooks. Serving as a discussion forum in the document margins, NB lets users ask and ... -
Learning from partially labeled data
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)Classification with partially labeled data involves learning from a few labeled examples as well as a large number of unlabeled examples, and represents a blend of supervised and unsupervised learning. Unlabeled examples ... -
Learning from pre-pandemic data to forecast viral antibody escape
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-06)Effective pandemic preparedness relies on anticipating viral mutations that are able to evade host immune responses in order to facilitate vaccine and therapeutic design. However, current strategies for viral evolution ... -
Learning from shack-dwellers : lessons for planners and policy-makers in upgrade projects in South Africa
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996) -
Learning from successful small and medium firms in the South of Italy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)This thesis questions literature approaches regarding Southern Italian development, and suggests a different way of thinking about the issues of i) culture, ii) organizational development, iii) social prerequisites for ... -
Learning from supply shocks in the energy market : evidence from local and global impacts of the shale revolution
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)In this thesis, we carry out three studies of the local and global impacts of supply shocks in energy markets, and also analyze certain properties of these markets. First, the relationship between US power plants and local ... -
Learning from teaching : a case study of a fourth year studio on urban design.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1978) -
Learning from the city : toward a better sense of place in information space
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997) -
Learning from the Vineyard : building environments expressive of place.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1977) -
Learning from venture capital : procurement programs as a way to promote innovation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)This thesis explores how government efforts to spur the commercialization of "green" technologies might be improved by understanding the practice of venture capital. Both state and federal governments currently support the ... -
Learning Gaussisan noise models from high-dimensional sensor data with deep neural networks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)While measurement covariances are often taken to be constant in many robotic state estimation systems, many sensors exhibit different interactions with their environment. Accurate covariance estimation allows graph-based ... -
Learning generalizable device placement algorithms for distributed machine learning
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)We present Placeto, a reinforcement learning (RL) approach to efficiently find device placements for distributed neural network training. Unlike prior approaches that only find a device placement for a specific computation ...
