AI Lab Faculty
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1992-09)
This document is meant to introduce new graduate students in the MIT AI Lab to the faculty members of the laboratory and their research interests. Each entry consists of the faculty member's picture, if available, some ...
An object-oriented library for shared-memory parallel simulations
(1996)
Programming shared-memory multiprocessor systems is becoming increasingly difficult as the gap between memory speed and processor speed increases. At the same time, this class of computer-based on standard microprocessors-is ...
An extension to optic flow analysis for the generation of computer animated images
(1998)
This dissertation seeks to develop image based animation methods using the technique of optic flow analysis developed for a moving planar object. Image based rendering is presented as a class of algorithm using two dimensional ...
Visually querying object-oriented databases
(1997)
As database requirements increase, the ability to construct database queries efficiently becomes more important. The traditional means of querying a database is to write a textual query, such as writing in SQL to query a ...
Exploiting persistence in CASE technology
(1997)
A Design Workbench has been built for Napier88 [MBC+94] as part of the natural progression towards developing better product systems and improving software construction tools. The system includes a Metamodeller (enabling ...
Distributed shared memory for virtual environments
(1997)
This work investigated making virtual environments easier to program, by designing a suitable distributed shared memory system. To be usable, the system must keep latency to a minimum, as virtual environments are very ...
Visualizing the memory performance of parallel programs with Chiron
(1996)
This thesis describes Chiron, visualization system which helps programmers detect memory system bottlenecks in their shared-memory parallel applications. Chiron is different from most other performance debugging tools in ...
Bottom-up evaluation of HiLog in the context of deductive database systems
(1998)
HiLog is a logic-based language which boasts the expressiveness of a higher-order syntax while retaining the simplicity of a first-order semantics. This work examines the suitability of Horn-clause HiLog as a query language ...
Pattern recognition and the nondeterminable affine parameter problem
(1998)
This thesis reports on the process of implementing pattern recognition systems using classification models such as artificial neural networks (ANNs) and algorithms whose theoretical foundations come from statistics. The ...
An efficient parallelization of a real scientific application
(1995)
In the past decade the cost of computing has come down considerably making high-powered computing more easily affordable. As a result many institutions and organisations now have networks of high-powered workstations. Such ...
