Magnetic properties of an isolated quantum dot
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
An implementation of face-to-face grounding in an embodied conversational agent
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
When people have a face-to-face conversation, they don't just spout information blindly-they work to make sure that both participants understand what has been said. This process of ensuring that what has been said is added ...
Integrated circuit control of resonant and hard switched dc/dc converters for industrial and educational applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
This thesis presents an integrated secondary side synchronous rectification controller, designed on a modern industrial silicon IC process, for use in the LLC resonant converter topology. The controller is intended to ...
Finding analogies in semantic networks using the singular value decomposition
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
We present CROSSBRIDGE, an algorithm for finding analogies in large, sparse semantic networks. We treat analogies as comparisons between domains of knowledge. A domain is a small semantic network, i.e., a set of concepts ...
Scientia : An end user development environment for decision support systems/
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
This thesis describes an end user programming environment that allows non-programmers to create decision support protocols for use on electronic devices. User centered design techniques were followed to identify the ...
Facette : using facets to improve tag-based bookmarking
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
Facette is a web service that uses facets to enhance the organizational capabilities of tag-based bookmarking systems. As with other bookmarking services, Facette allows users to associate tags with bookmarks to assist the ...
Mobile obesity study
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
The prevalence of overweight and obesity has steadily increased over the years among all genders, ages, racial and ethnic groups, educational levels, and smoking levels [15]. From 1960 to 2004, the prevalence of overweight ...
Developing an abstraction layer for the visualization of HSMM-based predictive decision support
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
Hidden semi-Markov models (HSMMs) have been previously proposed as real-time operator behavior prediction models that could be used by a supervisor to detect future anomalous behaviors. Because of the disconnect between ...
The future of game Al : learning to use human tactics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
Many video games require artificial players that can act as replacements for human players. With today's constant increases in the complexity of games and the prevalence of user-created content, creating an Al that is ...
Image annotation with discriminative model and annotation refinement by visual similarity matching
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
A large percentage of photos on the Internet cannot be reached by search engines because of the absence of textual metadata. Such metadata come from description and tags of the photos by their uploaders. Despite of decades ...
