Faces as a "Model Category" for Visual Object Recognition
(2013-03-18)
Visual recognition is an important ability that is central to many everyday tasks such as reading, navigation and social interaction, and is therefore actively studied in neuroscience, cognitive psychology and artificial ...
Asynchronous Failure Detectors
(2013-01-30)
Failure detectors -- oracles that provide information about process crashes -- are an important abstraction for crash tolerance in distributed systems. The generality of failure-detector theory, while providing great ...
Securing Deployed RFIDs by Randomizing the Modulation and the Channel
(2013-01-12)
RFID cards are widely used today in sensitive applications such as access control, payment systems, and asset tracking. Past work shows that an eavesdropper snooping on the communication between a card and its legitimate ...
A Plan for Optimizing Network-Intensive Cloud Applications
(2013-02-12)
A significant and growing number of applications deployed on cloud infrastructures are network-intensive. These applications are frequently bottlenecked by the speed of network connections between the machines on which ...
Tracking 3-D Rotations with the Quaternion Bingham Filter
(2013-03-27)
A deterministic method for sequential estimation of 3-D rotations is presented. The Bingham distribution is used to represent uncertainty directly on the unit quaternion hypersphere. Quaternions avoid the degeneracies of ...
Code for Java Libraries for Accessing the Princeton Wordnet: Comparison and Evaluation
(2013-11-01)
This archive contains the code and data for running the evaluations described in: Finlayson, Mark Alan (2014) "Java Libraries for Accessing the Princeton Wordnet: comparison and Evaluation" in Proceedings of the 7th Global ...
3D Tracking via Body Radio Reflections
(2013-12-11)
This paper introduces WiTrack, a system that tracks the 3D motion of a user from the radio signals reflected off her body. It works even if the person is occluded from the WiTrack device or in a different room. WiTrack ...
GenBase: A Complex Analytics Genomics Benchmark
(2013-11-19)
This paper introduces a new benchmark, designed to test database management system (DBMS) performance on a mix of data management tasks (joins, filters, etc.) and complex analytics (regression, singular value decomposition, ...
Asynchronous Failure Detectors
(2013-10-10)
Failure detectors -- oracles that provide information about process crashes -- are an important abstraction for crash tolerance in distributed systems. The generality of failure-detector theory, while providing great ...
OpenTuner: An Extensible Framework for Program Autotuning
(2013-11-01)
Program autotuning has been shown to achieve better or more portable performance in a number of domains. However, autotuners themselves are rarely portable between projects, for a number of reasons: using a domain-informed ...
