Robust Agent Control of an Autonomous Robot with Many Sensors and Actuators
(1993-05-01)
This thesis presents methods for implementing robust hexpod locomotion on an autonomous robot with many sensors and actuators. The controller is based on the Subsumption Architecture and is fully distributed over ...
Synthesizing Regularity Exposing Attributes in Large Protein Databases
(1993-05-01)
This thesis describes a system that synthesizes regularity exposing attributes from large protein databases. After processing primary and secondary structure data, this system discovers an amino acid representation ...
AMAR: A Computational Model of Autosegmental Phonology
(1993-10-01)
This report describes a computational system with which phonologists may describe a natural language in terms of autosegmental phonology, currently the most advanced theory pertaining to the sound systems of human ...
Robust, High-Speed Network Design for Large-Scale Multiprocessing
(1993-09-01)
As multiprocessor system size scales upward, two important aspects of multiprocessor systems will generally get worse rather than better: (1) interprocessor communication latency will increase and (2) the probability ...
Feature Extraction Without Edge Detection
(1993-09-01)
Information representation is a critical issue in machine vision. The representation strategy in the primitive stages of a vision system has enormous implications for the performance in subsequent stages. Existing ...
Automatic Qualitative Modeling of Dynamic Physical Systems
(1993-01-01)
This report describes MM, a computer program that can model a variety of mechanical and fluid systems. Given a system's structure and qualitative behavior, MM searches for models using an energy-based modeling framework. ...
Emacs Lisp in Edwin SScheme
(1993-09-01)
The MIT-Scheme program development environment includes a general-purpose text editor, Edwin, that has an extension language, Edwin Scheme. Edwin is very similar to another general-purpose text editor, GNU Emacs, which ...
A Radial Basis Function Approach to Financial Time Series Analysis
(1993-12-01)
Nonlinear multivariate statistical techniques on fast computers offer the potential to capture more of the dynamics of the high dimensional, noisy systems underlying financial markets than traditional models, while ...
The Named-State Register File
(1993-08-01)
This thesis introduces the Named-State Register File, a fine-grain, fully-associative register file. The NSF allows fast context switching between concurrent threads as well as efficient sequential program performance. ...
Naive Physics, Event Perception, Lexical Semantics, and Language Acquisition
(1993-04-01)
This thesis proposes a computational model of how children may come to learn the meanings of words in their native language. The proposed model is divided into two separate components. One component produces semantic ...
