Scene Classification with a Biologically Inspired Method
(2009-05-10)
We present a biologically motivated method for scene image classification. The core of the method is to use shape based image property that is provided by a hierarchical feedforward model of the visual cortex [18]. Edge ...
Sepia: a Framework for Natural Language Semantics
(2009-05-28)
To help explore linguistic semantics in the context of computational natural language understanding, Sepia provides a realization the central theoretical idea of categorial grammar: linking words and phrases to compositional ...
Simple LCD Transmitter Camera Receiver Data Link
(2009-06-15)
We demonstrate a freespace optical system using a consumer camera and projector in indoor environments using available devices for visual computing. Through design, prototype and experimentation with this commodity hardware, ...
Modeling Radio Networks
(2009-06-04)
We describe a modeling framework and collection of foundational composition results for the study of probabilistic distributed algorithms in synchronous radio networks. Existing results in this setting rely on informal ...
Propagation Networks: A Flexible and Expressive Substrate for Computation
(2009-11-03)
I propose a shift in the foundations of computation. Practically all ideas of general-purpose computation today are founded either on execution of sequences of atomic instructions, i.e., assembly languages, or on evaluation ...
A Unified Operating System for Clouds and Manycore: fos
(2009-11-20)
Single chip processors with thousands of cores will be available in the next ten years and clouds of multicore processors afford the operating system designer thousands of cores today. Constructing operating systems for ...
Distributed Computation in Dynamic Networks
(2009-11-10)
In this report we investigate distributed computation in dynamic networks in which the network topology changes from round to round. We consider a worst-case model in which the communication links for each round are chosen ...
Smartlocks: Self-Aware Synchronization through Lock Acquisition Scheduling
(2009-11-09)
As multicore processors become increasingly prevalent, system complexity is skyrocketing. The advent of the asymmetric multicore compounds this -- it is no longer practical for an average programmer to balance the system ...
Automated home-cage behavioral phenotyping of mice
(2009-10-26)
We describe a trainable computer vision system enabling the automated analysis of complex mouse behaviors. We provide software and a very large manually annotated video database used for training and testing the system. ...
Graphite: A Distributed Parallel Simulator for Multicores
(2009-11-09)
This paper introduces the open-source Graphite distributed parallel multicore simulator infrastructure. Graphite is designed from the ground up for exploration of future multicore processors containing dozens, hundreds, ...
