The Role of Programming in the Formulation of Ideas
(2002-11-01)
Classical mechanics is deceptively simple. It is surprisingly easy to get the right answer with fallacious reasoning or without real understanding. To address this problem we use computational techniques to communicate ...
Multiple Resolution Image Classification
(2002-12-01)
Binary image classifiction is a problem that has received much attention in recent years. In this paper we evaluate a selection of popular techniques in an effort to find a feature set/ classifier combination which ...
Swimming in Space-Time
(2002-11-01)
Cyclic changes in the shape of a quasi-rigid body on a curved manifold can lead to net translation and/or rotation of the body in the manifold. Presuming space-time is a curved manifold as portrayed by general relativity, ...
ADAM: A Decentralized Parallel Computer Architecture Featuring Fast Thread and Data Migration and a Uniform Hardware Abstraction
(2002-06-01)
The furious pace of Moore's Law is driving computer architecture into a realm where the the speed of light is the dominant factor in system latencies. The number of clock cycles to span a chip are increasing, while the ...
Achieving Real-Time Mode Estimation through Offline Compilation
(2002-10-22)
As exploration of our solar system and outerspace move into the future, spacecraft are being developed to venture on increasingly challenging missions with bold objectives. The spacecraft tasked with completing these ...
Surface Reflectance Recognition and Real-World Illumination Statistics
(2002-10-01)
Humans distinguish materials such as metal, plastic, and paper effortlessly at a glance. Traditional computer vision systems cannot solve this problem at all. Recognizing surface reflectance properties from a single ...
A Reinforcement-Learning Approach to Power Management
(2002-05-01)
We describe an adaptive, mid-level approach to the wireless device power management problem. Our approach is based on reinforcement learning, a machine learning framework for autonomous agents. We describe how our ...
Stimulus Simplification and Object Representation: A Modeling Study
(2002-03-15)
Tsunoda et al. (2001) recently studied the nature of object representation in monkey inferotemporal cortex using a combination of optical imaging and extracellular recordings. In particular, they examined IT neuron ...
Categorization in IT and PFC: Model and Experiments
(2002-04-18)
In a recent experiment, Freedman et al. recorded from inferotemporal (IT) and prefrontal cortices (PFC) of monkeys performing a "cat/dog" categorization task (Freedman 2001 and Freedman, Riesenhuber, Poggio, Miller ...
Exact Solution of the Nonlinear Dynamics of Recurrent Neural Mechanisms for Direction Selectivity
(2002-08-01)
Different theoretical models have tried to investigate the feasibility of recurrent neural mechanisms for achieving direction selectivity in the visual cortex. The mathematical analysis of such models has been restricted ...
