Multi-Output Learning via Spectral Filtering
(2011-01-24)
In this paper we study a class of regularized kernel methods for vector-valued learning which are based on filtering the spectrum of the kernel matrix. The considered methods include Tikhonov regularization as a special ...
SoftCast: Clean-slate Scalable Wireless Video
(2011-02-15)
Video broadcast and mobile video challenge the conventional wireless design. In broadcast and mobile scenarios the bit rate supported by the channel differs across receivers and varies quickly over time. The conventional ...
Neurons That Confuse Mirror-Symmetric Object Views
(2010-12-31)
Neurons in inferotemporal cortex that respond similarly to many pairs of mirror-symmetric images -- for example, 45 degree and -45 degree views of the same face -- have often been reported. The phenomenon seemed to be an ...
Towards Understanding Hierarchical Natural Language Commands for Robotic Navigation and Manipulation
(2011-02-01)
We describe a new model for understanding hierarchical natural language commands for robot navigation and manipulation. The model has three components: a semantic structure that captures the hierarchical structure of ...
Mechanism Design With Approximate Player Types
(2011-02-16)
We investigate mechanism design when the players do not exactly know their types, but have instead only partial information about them.
Probabilistic and Statistical Analysis of Perforated Patterns
(2011-01-19)
We present a new foundation for the analysis and transformation of computer programs.Standard approaches involve the use of logical reasoning to prove that the applied transformation does not change the observable semantics ...
SEEC: A General and Extensible Framework for Self-Aware Computing
(2011-11-07)
Modern systems require applications to balance competing goals, e.g. achieving high performance and low power. Achieving this balance places an unrealistic burden on application programmers who must understand the power ...
Fast and Robust Pyramid-based Image Processing
(2011-11-15)
Multi-scale manipulations are central to image editing but they are also prone to halos. Achieving artifact-free results requires sophisticated edgeaware techniques and careful parameter tuning. These shortcomings were ...
A Benchmark of Computational Models of Saliency to Predict Human Fixations
(2012-01-13)
Many computational models of visual attention have been created from a wide variety of different approaches to predict where people look in images. Each model is usually introduced by demonstrating performances on new ...
Toward a Probabilistic Approach to Acquiring Information from Human Partners Using Language
(2012-01-23)
Our goal is to build robots that can robustly interact with humans using natural language. This problem is extremely challenging because human language is filled with ambiguity, and furthermore, the robot's model of the ...
