The stochastic air traffic flow management rerouting problem
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
We formulate a model for planning the rerouting of aircraft to alleviate en-route congestion, with system capacity being modeled stochastically. To overcome problems with tractability, we apply a Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition ...
Information theoretic aspects of the control and the mode estimation of stochastic systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
(cont.) parallel with a communication paradigm and deriving an analysis of performance. In our approach, the switching system is viewed as an encoder of the mode, which is interpreted as the message, while a probing signal ...
Solving hybrid decision-control problems through conflict-directed branch & bound
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
There exists a large class of problems that incorporate both logical decision and algebraic constraints. For example, in cooperative path planning (CPP) problem, obstacle avoidance can be achieved by selecting a direction ...
A wireless communication system for a tactile vest
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
This research focuses on the development of wireless communication circuitry for a tactile display called the Tactile Vest. The display consists of a 4x4 array of vibrating motors worn around the user's torso in direct ...
Algorithmic advances towards a fully automated DNA genotyping system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
Short Tandem Repeats (STR) genotyping is a leading tool in forensic DNA analysis. In STR genotyping, alleles in a sample are identified by measuring their lengths to form a genetic profile. Forming a genetic profile is ...
Robust PCPs of proximity and shorter PCPs
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
Observer-based monitors and distributed wave controllers for electromechanical disturbances in power systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
Predictive multiple sampling algorithm with overlapping integration intervals for linear wide dynamic range integrating image sensors
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
Machine vision systems are used in a wide range of applications such as security, automated quality control and intelligent transportation systems. Several of these systems need to extract information from natural scenes ...
Language generation and speech synthesis in dialogues for language learning
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
Since 1989, the Spoken Language Systems group has developed an array of applications that allow users to interact with computers using natural spoken language. A recent project of interest is to develop an interactive ...
Emotional news : how emotional content of news and financial markets are related
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
We present here a first step towards developing a quantitative model that relates investor emotions to financial markets. We used Wall Street Journal articles as a proxy of investor emotions on a "macro" level. We measured ...
