Refactoring for parameterizing Java classes
(2006-09-05)
Type safety and expressiveness of many existing Java libraries and theirclient applications would improve, if the libraries were upgraded to definegeneric classes. Efficient and accurate tools exist to assist clientapplications ...
Adaptation for Regularization Operators in Learning Theory
(2006-09-10)
We consider learning algorithms induced by regularization methods in the regression setting. We show that previously obtained error bounds for these algorithms using a-priori choices of the regularization parameter, can ...
RingScalar: A Complexity-Effective Out-of-Order Superscalar Microarchitecture
(2006-09-18)
RingScalar is a complexity-effective microarchitecture for out-of-order superscalar processors, that reduces the area, latency, and power of all major structures in the instruction flow. The design divides an N-way ...
The Design of a Relational Engine
(2006-09-29)
The key design challenges in the construction of a SAT-based relational engine are described, and novel techniques are proposed to address them. An efficient engine must have a mechanism for specifying partial solutions, ...
TIARA: Trust Management, Intrusion-tolerance, Accountability, and Reconstitution Architecture
(2007-05-30)
The last 20 years have led to unprecedented improvements in chipdensity and system performance fueled mainly by Moore's Law. Duringthe same time, system and application software have bloated, leadingto unmanageable ...
Local Geometry of Multiattribute Tradeoff Preferences
(2007-02-01)
Existing preference reasoning systems have been successful insimple domains. Broader success requires more natural and moreexpressive preference representations. This thesis develops arepresentation of logical preferences ...
Notes on Regularized Least Squares
(2007-05-01)
This is a collection of information about regularized least squares (RLS). The facts here are not new results , but we have not seen them usefully collected together before. A key goal of this work is to demonstrate that ...
Developmental Cost for Models of Intelligence
(2007-05-15)
We can evaluate models of natural intelligence, as well as theirindividual components, by using a model of hardware and developmentcosts, ignoring almost all the details of biology. The basic argumentis that neither the ...
The Creation of OpenCourseWare at MIT
(2007-05-19)
This paper traces the genesis of the MIT OpenCourseWare project from its initial strategic precursors in 1999 and 2000, through its launch in 2001 and its subsequent evolution. The story told here illuminates the interplay ...
Principles for Engineered Emergence (slides)
(2007-04-12)
Principles for Engineered EmergenceIt is difficult to establish engineering control over the behavior ofaggregates of unreliable devices with complicated interactionpatterns. I take a linguistic view of this problem, ...
