Generative Temporal Planning with Complex Processes
(2004-05-18)
Autonomous vehicles are increasingly being used in mission-critical applications, and robust methods are needed for controlling these inherently unreliable and complex systems. This thesis advocates the use of model-based ...
A Note on the Generalization Performance of Kernel Classifiers with Margin
(2000-05-01)
We present distribution independent bounds on the generalization misclassification performance of a family of kernel classifiers with margin. Support Vector Machine classifiers (SVM) stem out of this class of machines. The ...
BioJADE: A Design and Simulation Tool for Synthetic Biological Systems
(2004-05-28)
The next generations of both biological engineering and computer engineering demand that control be exerted at the molecular level. Creating, characterizing and controlling synthetic biological systems may provide us ...
Rotation Invariant Real-time Face Detection and Recognition System
(2001-05-31)
In this report, a face recognition system that is capable of detecting and recognizing frontal and rotated faces was developed. Two face recognition methods focusing on the aspect of pose invariance are presented and ...
Representation and Detection of Shapes in Images
(2003-08-08)
We present a set of techniques that can be used to represent and detect shapes in images. Our methods revolve around a particular shape representation based on the description of objects using triangulated polygons. This ...
Fluorescence Assay for Polymerase Arrival Rates
(2003-08-31)
To engineer complex synthetic biological systems will require modular design, assembly, and characterization strategies. The RNA polymerase arrival rate (PAR) is defined to be the rate that RNA polymerases arrive at a ...
Generalization over contrast and mirror reversal, but not figure-ground reversal, in an "edge-based
(2001-12-10)
Baylis & Driver (Nature Neuroscience, 2001) have recently presented data on the response of neurons in macaque inferotemporal cortex (IT) to various stimulus transformations. They report that neurons can generalize over ...
Global Depth Perception from Familiar Scene Structure
(2001-12-01)
In the absence of cues for absolute depth measurements as binocular disparity, motion, or defocus, the absolute distance between the observer and a scene cannot be measured. The interpretation of shading, edges and junctions ...
Role of color in face recognition
(2001-12-13)
One of the key challenges in face perception lies in determining the contribution of different cues to face identification. In this study, we focus on the role of color cues. Although color appears to be a salient attribute ...
Learning-Based Approach to Estimation of Morphable Model Parameters
(2000-09-01)
We describe the key role played by partial evaluation in the Supercomputing Toolkit, a parallel computing system for scientific applications that effectively exploits the vast amount of parallelism exposed by partial ...
