Algorithms for estimating visual motion parameters from ganglion cell responses
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
This thesis is intended to present a specific sub-problem of a larger one we call the "Inverse Problem". We wish to estimate the velocity (speed and direction) of an edge of light which is moving on the photoreceptor layer ...
Extending ScratchR : challenges of deploying a scalable user generated content platform for young people
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
ScratchR, a user generated content management platform, was developed by the Lifelong Kindergarten group at the MIT Media Lab. ScratchR lets users share projects developed with the Scratch programming language. This thesis ...
Creating a three dimensional holographic movie
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
An experimental study was carried out on the ability to create a three-dimensional holographic movie. Holograms were written on VRP-M emulsion film with the green line of an Argon-Ion laser. The type of hologram write setup ...
Analysis of peak characterization and data alignment of a differential mobility spectrometer for the discovery of TB biomarkers in human breath
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
Biomarkers have become a growing field for disease research and diagnostics. For the infectious, deadly disease, tuberculosis (TB), the discovery of effective TB biomarkers in the human breath may enable the development ...
Soundgen : a Web services based sound generation system for the psychoacoustics laboratory
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
Soundgen is a web services based sound generation system developed for the MIT Psychoacoustics Laboratory Course 6.I82. The sounds created by Soundgen are combinations of various tones and noises, produced by a dedicated ...
Social media analytics in business intelligence applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
Social media is becoming increasingly important in society and culture, empowering consumers to group together on common interests and share opinions through the Internet. The social web shifts the originators of content ...
User adaptive Web morphing : an implementation of a Web-based Bayesian inference engine with Gittins' Index
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
Imagine a world where computers are able to present desired information to people in the most relevant and effective way possible, where machines are able to adapt the way they interact with humans when they encounter ...
Learning, using examples, to translate phrases and sentences to meanings
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
Before we can create intelligent systems that exhibit the versatility of the human intellect, we must understand how our command of language enables the uniquely broad scope of our reasoning ability. To pursue such an ...
Wideband active antenna cancellation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
There exists a simultaneous transmit and receive antenna system where the transmitted signal is creating wideband interference of the receiver. To resolve this interference problem, the isolation between the transmit antenna ...
Understanding English with lattice-learning
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
A computer program that can understand the meaning of written English must be tremendously complex. It would break the spirit of any programmer to try to code such a program by hand; the range of meaning we can express in ...
