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, ...
Rational Robustness for Mechanism Design
(2009-11-10)
The currently prevailing equilibrium-based approach to mechanism design suffers from a plurality of fundamental problems, and new conceptual frameworks are needed to solve or sufficiently alleviate them. In this paper, we ...

Co-Clustering with Generative Models
(2009-11-03)
In this paper, we present a generative model for co-clustering and develop algorithms based on the mean field approximation for the corresponding modeling problem. These algorithms can be viewed as generalizations of the ...
Unsupervised Learning and Recognition of Physical Activity Plans
(2007-08-23)
This thesis desires to enable a new kind of interaction between humans and computational agents, such as robots or computers, by allowing the agent to anticipate and adapt to human intent. In the future, more robots may ...
Optimal Temporal Planning at Reactive Time Scales via Dynamic Backtracking Branch and Bound
(2006-08-25)
Autonomous robots are being considered for increasingly capable roles in our society, such as urban search and rescue, automation for assisted living, and lunar habitat construction. To fulfill these roles, teams of ...
