Generative Temporal Planning with Complex Processes
(2004-05-18)
Autonomous vehicles are increasingly being used in mission-critical applications, and robust methods are needed for controlling these inherently unreliable and complex systems. This thesis advocates the use of model-based ...
A Note on the Generalization Performance of Kernel Classifiers with Margin
(2000-05-01)
We present distribution independent bounds on the generalization misclassification performance of a family of kernel classifiers with margin. Support Vector Machine classifiers (SVM) stem out of this class of machines. The ...
BioJADE: A Design and Simulation Tool for Synthetic Biological Systems
(2004-05-28)
The next generations of both biological engineering and computer engineering demand that control be exerted at the molecular level. Creating, characterizing and controlling synthetic biological systems may provide us ...
Rotation Invariant Real-time Face Detection and Recognition System
(2001-05-31)
In this report, a face recognition system that is capable of detecting and recognizing frontal and rotated faces was developed. Two face recognition methods focusing on the aspect of pose invariance are presented and ...
A Note on Object Class Representation and Categorical Perception
(1999-12-17)
We present a novel scheme ("Categorical Basis Functions", CBF) for object class representation in the brain and contrast it to the "Chorus of Prototypes" scheme recently proposed by Edelman. The power and flexibility ...
Representation and Detection of Shapes in Images
(2003-08-08)
We present a set of techniques that can be used to represent and detect shapes in images. Our methods revolve around a particular shape representation based on the description of objects using triangulated polygons. This ...
Fluorescence Assay for Polymerase Arrival Rates
(2003-08-31)
To engineer complex synthetic biological systems will require modular design, assembly, and characterization strategies. The RNA polymerase arrival rate (PAR) is defined to be the rate that RNA polymerases arrive at a ...
Priors Stabilizers and Basis Functions: From Regularization to Radial, Tensor and Additive Splines
(1993-06-01)
We had previously shown that regularization principles lead to approximation schemes, as Radial Basis Functions, which are equivalent to networks with one layer of hidden units, called Regularization Networks. In this ...
Geometric Structure of the Adaptive Controller of the Human Arm
(1993-07-01)
The objects with which the hand interacts with may significantly change the dynamics of the arm. How does the brain adapt control of arm movements to this new dynamic? We show that adaptation is via composition of a ...
Geometric and Algebraic Aspects of 3D Affine and Projective Structures from Perspective 2D Views
(1993-07-01)
We investigate the differences --- conceptually and algorithmically --- between affine and projective frameworks for the tasks of visual recognition and reconstruction from perspective views. It is shown that an affine ...
